Hello, lovelies! It's been about 3 months since I resigned from my last work place. And I have been doing so much around the house - basically doing nothing quite important like organizing my cooking/baking stuff twice, "spring" cleaning, making a scrapbook for our wedding photos and starting a hobby that didn't catch on as… Continue reading Life Update and New Business Ventures

Banana Walnut Bread

Sep 27, 2017 Lesley Anne Gan-Red4 Comments

Last week, Don's mom gave us a cluster of bananas that were already very ripe. We can't eat all of it up before it becomes over riped, so I peeled the leftovers, placed it in a ziplock bag and froze it. This is not only to avoid spoilage, but it's also good for spur of… Continue reading Banana Walnut Bread

This is a classic cake flavor and I hope you enjoy making (and eating) it as much as I did!… Continue reading Tiramisu Cupcakes

So Don proposed that I do their office's monthly birthday cupcakes. And I plan to make different flavored ones! So for this month, I made Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. I intended to color the buttercream to lilac or lavender shade. But I guess I put too much red food gel and this is what… Continue reading Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Red Velvet Cookies/Crinkles

Feb 16, 2017Mar 19, 2017 Lesley Anne Gan-RedLeave a comment

I intended to give these out to our Couples' Discipleship Group for Valentines. Unfortunately, I was sick with the flu so we didn't attend the fellowship yesterday. Anyway, I want to warn you, this is a little messy to make. The dough is sticky and can stain your hands red if you're not using gloves.… Continue reading Red Velvet Cookies/Crinkles

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies.

I like to give out homemade baked goods as presents for Christmas. I feel that it adds a "personal" touch! Of course! This started when I was in college. I started out molding chocolates then moved on to actually baking pastries. So I was trying to come up with what I'll be giving this year… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies.

Magic Custard Cake.

I came across this recipe months ago, but didn't have a chance to make until now. Last week, I was so excited to bake it that even if I was tired from work, I happily took out my mixer and started whipping the eggs. Sadly though, I made the biggest mistake by putting it on… Continue reading Magic Custard Cake.
