Just Desserts

I love cooking shows, and Top Chef: Just Desserts is simply my favorite. Desserts are my favourite food in the world (I really need to tone down the sugar level).

This frame was inspired by the Just Desserts show, and was made as a housewarming gift for my brother (it was a belated gift).

If in doubt, quill a cake.

Old photos, that come with all the sweetness.

In my mind, I was making a vanilla wedding cake.

To a friend, it looked more like a cheese cake.

Another said it was a butter cake with royal frosting.

And someone else insisted that it was a vanilla with strawberry-filled cake.

It's true then. We only see what we want to see.

A happy family

This would be a perfect family portrait.

The father sports Elvis' hair, and the mom with the wavy and curly do. And the kids were the exact copy of the parents.

There were supposed to be 2 more little kiddos, but I think they got lost somewhere and yet to find their way home. Or was it that I was the one ditching them in one of the boxes and failed to find them back? Hmm..

Yet to find them a home, (or hands for that matter haha), but this family portrait is one of those experiments I made ages ago, but only now managed to squeeze into the blog's mainframe.

You Are Better Series: Dessert!

The 2nd in the series.

From right to left: grape pudding, milk chocolate, chocolate cake and strawberry pudding.

Yet to make the box for this kind of cards though.

I'm in the mood for white cards recently. Simple, and straight to the point. :)

... And dessert always made me hungry. Hm.

You Are Better Series: Chocolate!

Let me just say this.

Personally, I think this is wayy tooo cheeesy LOL. Like 3 pounds cheesecake with triple cream cheese on top. Yeah. I hardly take cheese, so that's like triple the effect on me hahaha. But again, some just like cheesy things, so the series are definitely aimed for them LOL.

This is the first of three in the series, and I simply want to make cards using items that are already in my toolbox. I found these lying around and tadaa. I got myself instant card(s) hehe.

(Enjoy the series while I'm working on my typography experiments haha)

On Display

It wasn't a full blown patisserie, but it's a start hehe. It's very simple for a starter like me, but I'm happy with it anyway.



Each of the items were delicately arranged on the shelves, and I simply love the drapes the doilies made for the shelves. (The doilies were perfect, Saza!!!). It did take me a while to decide on the arrangement, and at first thought, I had this multiple ideas on how I should arrange everything. However, I thought I should edit some of the ideas and went for the simple one first. I didn't want to be too ambitious on my very first miniature project and ruined everything.

The wood-based panel frame was from IKEA, and the measurement of the frame is roughly 14cm x 14cm (I think).

I think I'm ready to venture into something more adventurous! :)

Desserts, anyone?

 

*Sigh*

This must be the side effect of watching too much of food programmes on TV. I'm totally overloading with Top Chef Desserts right now! (I watch this online, not on TV)



I'm craving for some miniature desserts hehe. Tried my hand at making chocolates, but later diverted the attention to making the whole of desserts instead.

Let's see what we have here. There's the Melon puddings,  the Orange pudding, the Strawberry pie, the creamy cakes, the chocolate cake,s the Chocolate Chip Cookies, the Pineapple cake, some cupcakes and other little cakes I made without even thinking of the ingredients hehe!

 Should. stop. thinking. about. food.

Life is like a box of chocolates

...and you never know what you're going to get. Forrest's mama always said that. Yeah, run Forrest, run!

What my mum always said was when you get a box of chocolates, you should cherish them, and enjoy every single flavour of the chocs.

I'm a food lover. It's pretty obvious, really, since almost 80% of my fb statuses were always about food haha. I enjoy food, and believe that I should enjoy eating while I can. I eat when I'm stressed, I eat when I want to celebrate something, and I eat.. well, pretty much at all times. The only thing that could stop me from eating was quilling. Haha.

I pretty much enjoy desserts, either eating them, or making them. It's been a while since I last used my baking utensils, so I thought this, would be a good way to warm up to that. :)



So which one is your favourite chocolate? Dark chocolate? Milk chocolate? Or plain white chocolate? As for me, I love them all. ^_^

*Special thanks to Saza for the lovely doily!!! It arrived just at the right moment!
