Made: Red Velvet Cupcakes for Christmas
Forgot to take more pictures so I've only got this dissected picture from my iPhone.
Recipe is from Joy of Baking, but I cannot remember what adjustments I made to the sugar quantity.... only remembered I reduced red colouring to 1 tablespoon.
Stuffed it with blueberry jam too, so that the cupcake will be cone-like and I can pipe green frosting to make it look like a Christmas tree.

Handmade Christmas Gifts
Wanted to do a lot more but I have no time.
So I just have to make do with simple crafts like the apron.
Afterall, the kids are all at the age where they want to cook and bake.

Something manly for her boy - I am sure she wouldn't approve of pink and ruffles

Best Orange Butter Cake ever
This is my favourite orange butter cake, adapted from The Little Teochew's blog.
For my own convenience and future reference, I have put up the recipe here.
That is because I tend to put in 195g of butter instead of flour... for whatever reason, I really don't know.
S says it's because Daddy and Mommy have exchanged memories.
She says Daddy has taken Mommy's memory and vice versa.
Would that explain my recent confused state of mind?
