Toddler’s 2nd birthday is coming up in Nov. Even at this young age, she already knows what she wants for her birthday - an Elmo cake!! So . . . . . . an Elmo cupcake is born. Cute huh? Elmo’s fur is done in buttercream while his eyes, nose & mouth are done with marshmallow fondant. Actually this is my practice piece before attempting the actual cake. Hopefully, the actual cake will turn out nicely : p

1 cupcake, 3 different looks . . . . . . . which one is the best?Au naturel, topped with pretty coral-colored buttercream or all decked out in pink marshmallow fondant.

My current obsession: cute cupcakes! This is my 1st attempt at icing a cupcake. Am very happy with the result. Will have to start trying other patterns. Inspiration from here: http://www.cupcakeblog.com/

Simple fried noodles with XO sauce. XO sauce is one of my favorite sauce for frying rice or noodles, though it is used sparingly since it is quite expensive. For the actual ingredients in XO sauce, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xo_sauce

Layerings are a little too thick. *sigh* Will definitely need a lot more practice! Recipe from: http://mykitchenmylaboratory.blogspot.com/2006/04/chinese-pastries-iii.html

My 1st attempt at making snowskin mooncake. Went a little overboard with the colors. Ended up with bright colors instead of pastel colors as in the original recipe. Recipe taken from: http://auntyyochana.blogspot.com/
