blueberry birthday cake & home-made pan mee! (and some pizza..)

terrasmark's birthday was in february, and his best buddies were all hyped up about celebrating his birthday (albeit coming up with one too many foiled plans, haha~). so i volunteered to bake terra a birthday cake.

each one of us had our own ideas of how to celebrate it, and honestly, last minute arrangements were never far from our plans!

i nearly failed to bake the cake as i found out there was no more flour in the kitchen on the day! OH NO! luckily i had time to go out, buy some secret ingredient (okay, one of them was a jar of blueberry jam) and bake the cake - just before the guys arrive, and off we went with terra.

motr took the chance to hose out as much whipping cream as possible from the spray bottle, after terrasmark blew the candles out.

february food theme: CNY cookies and pretzels

here is something to share with everyone from my Chinese New Year (although february was two months ago!) bake out. =)

first up, traditional pineapple cookies! mummy and mizuiro made the upper design ("pineapple roll" style) and i made the lower design ("pineapple flower" style). they were among the fastest to disappear from the table during CNY!
