Blueberry Yoghurt Butter Cake

One of the best butter cakes I've ever had.
Not that oily and heavy at all.
Recipe from Cook.Bake.Love

Snippets from Perth

More to come.... but I need some time to consolidate my pictures from 3 cameras :)
Just these 2 for an appetizer for now.

A crying S because a duck pecked her hand

Now who didn't listen to the daddy when he told her not to stretch out her hand? :P

When D gets excited, he bites! Anything!

Orange Muffins

My little man loves his oranges.
So does my little princess.
Since R is flying off early tomorrow morning, I thought I'll make some orange muffins for their breakfast so breakfast time might be less stressful.
Of course I am also excited about my new oven :)

These muffins can be a little puffier, I think.
I guess they are a little sunken because the power supply tripped without me knowing.
And all because I stressed up the power supply by using the kettle at the same time!

Recipe is from here
Since my egg is small and orange juice is just a little short of half a cup, I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup. Also reduced sugar by 1/4 cup.
Turned out really soft and fluffy with a mild orangey smell.
No hassle of grating orange zest too!

Homemade Scone with homemade jam

OK, the scone didn't turn out like what I expected.
I had wanted British scone, but I think the recipe was the American type.
Still, the kids love it, especially with the homemade strawberry jam...
yep, we lugged 4 punnets of strawberries back from Perth, but unfortunately, most were spoilt and good ones were only 1.5 punnets.
