Sugar-free Strawberry Mousse

Tuxedo Strawberries

For Simon and Beth's post-wedding party:

they weren't very uniform..oh wells ^^

Thanks, Julee!

Yayy, I got my nails done by Julee today. It turned out very lovely xP. hehe, and what better way to thank someone than by making them cake! But, it looks like it says, "Tharks Julee!" yea because I forgot to make an extra loop when writing the "n."


The pan was a smaller round, so I used the extra batter to make 3 mini cakes, using my ramekins :) They don't look that nice though..oh well xP


hehe, kylie is so cute. although, she only ate the chocolate and cream.

Amy's Birthday Cake

I wanted to make this cake from scratch, but I didn't have time this week (with finals/ACTs). So, I ended up using the usual cake mix -- Betty Crocker French Vanilla ^_^. The cake is covered with fresh whipped cream and topped with strawberries.

I'm still working on using colored chocolate to decorate though -- the colored chocolate seems thicker than just regular milk chocolate so it made the surface of the decoration bumpy and rough. Its supposed to be a pikachu ^^, but it didn't turn out so well =/ hehe. Plus, when hardening it, my mom dropped it and the pikachu shattered. I had to puzzle the pieces back together...lol I also made a second cake, but i forgot to take a piccy. It had a flower chocolate decoration on it :).

Wenjing's Birthday Strawberry Mousse

YAY Vivienne Westwood, strawberry mousse..hahaa. Actually this isn't really mousse it's just a variation of Florence's cheesecake recipe in the post below, but the texture turned out really similar to mousse, so that's what I'm going with xP.

The top is decorated with butterscotch flavored chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate ^^

Thomas and Friends Mango Cheesecake

The recipe for this was really good and it tasted really good on the first day I made it, but the next day when I cut out a square and made this for kylie and pete, it didn't taste as good. I think maybe I put too much gelatin and so it hardened too much. The recipe can be found at the "Do What I Like" blog by Florence.

Baked Fries

I didn't know what to make for lunch so Amy and I decided to use up the potatoes we had. :]

Ingredients:
4 medium baking potatoes
any spices you like
shredded cheese
1-2 tsp. cooking oil

1) Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
2) Wash and peel about 4 medium sized potatoes.
3) Cut the potatoes in slices like shown in the picture.
4) In a small bowl mix in spices and salt that you like.
5) Place sliced potatoes, spices, and a teaspoon or two of cooking oil in a large tupperware box. Shake until all the slices are well coated with the spice mixture.
6) Top the potatoes with shredded cheese of your choice.
7) Pour all the potato slices in a foil-lined 9" by 13" pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
