An Asean dessert made of ice and sago (tapioca balls), coconut milk and ice – and it’s darn cheap in Malaysia and Singapore.  You can find this in any road side stalls or food court.

The girlfriend asked if I was obsessed with the cupcakes or just pretty things, I opted for the pretty things.  How can one not love these cupcakes from The Cupcake Bakery right.

I wasn’t the only obsessed as you can see – but whether the co-worker was obsessed with pretty things or cupcakes, your guess is as good as mine. Did she have all of them.. ?? yes she did..!

Was i disappointed like some told me.. on their return ..?? nah.. it was pretty nice.. i liked the new store at The QVB better, because it is just too cute the store.  The huge menu as you can see there .. makes it all too easy to choose all of them.  The price is like more designer cupcakes at $3.50Aud – they looked good and tasted fine by me – lots of icing.. and i know my kid would love it.

Have a new flavored cake this week at the local supermarket and since the wife likes bananas, we decided to give it a try.  Nothing spectacular and the inside was white, so it was ok but we won’t buy it again – I guess.

A friend’s kid had her birthday the other day and his sister had baked this cake entirely on her own from scratch.  Since the kid wanted a princess cake, she made one that looked like a princess crown.  Those pink and black stuff i think are bubble gums.  They tasted pretty good too – one thing the Western gals are good at is the baking and the cookie making.

This cake was home made, I’ll have to say the friend’s sister is very talented.  I was impressed and so was the birthday boy.  Really, really home made, the next time my kid has a birthday, I’m gonna get her to do one for her.  Look at how detail the cake is, you have to give her an A+ for the cake.  No I didn’t get the recipe on how to bake it but the wife is not into baking, more into cooking and eating out in restaurants, so I didn’t ask for the recipe.  But if you need it, let me know and I’ll try and get it for you.  I can imagine how much work it is to make one of this.

I love cakes especially chocolate ones.  The wife on the other do not love the cake but she loves buying them and giving them out to the kid’s school for the kids to devor.  Halloween, my kid and her school planned some party, so of course, the wife of course had to look out for something more to give to the kids.  We bought this for the kids in her class.

The wife is into the pretty thing, she doesn’t really care if it tasted good – haha!   But it is pretty good job they did and the kid came home and reported that they enjoyed the cake very much.  That’s all that matters right.

Boy! they are getting earlier every year, it’s only the first week of October and you can find Halloween cakes like this in our local grocery stores.  I must say they are pretty creative and the wife is eyeing on some to get them for the kid’s school.  This one is made from cupcakes – Nice!
