bite me!!!


I learned about cake bites and cake pops about a year ago and I thought they were just amazing! I mean cake, chocolate and candy rolled into one what could be better??!!

I have actually made a 'version' of these bite size babies long before they became popular - I baked a cake that sadly was undercooked in the middle. It was useless for my planned layer cake but I didn't want to waste it so I rolled them into balls and dipped it in melted chocolate. They were yummy! not a hint of a failed cake bite after bite!

It became my favorite sweet treat to make for occassions - and today I had just finished making a couple dozens of cake balls for a friend who was craving for them after she finished the packages I gave her last Christmas.


Cake Balls
Ingredients:
- home made or store bought cake 
- home mad or store bought frosting
- candy coating or chocolate melted as per package directions
- candy sprinkles

How to:
- reduce cake to crumbs
- mix cake crumbs with frosting a few tablespoons at a time, just enough to moisten the cake for it to be able to hold its shape
- roll cake into balls, chill for 30 mins
- dip in melted chocolate or candy coating
- decorate with candy sprinkles


this is a very flexible treat and can be made in a variety of flavors - I have tried using nutella and melted caramel instead of frosting and it turned out great! try experimenting today!

pudding new life to stale bread!

In this time where there can be shortage of food supplies, we can not afford for anything to go to waste - which is the norm in our household in any case. Today while checking out our ref I found 2 left over buns from last week's lunch. They were stale and hard but do not have any molds - I did not want to throw them out so I rummaged through the pantry for any other leftover stuff I could use to make bread pudding. I found a couple of merengue - I did not know of any recipe for bread pudding using merengue but what the heck, I will just throw it in there too instead of throwing it out... There was also a bit of pink sugar left from a previous baking project... I have some milk, eggs, a packet of raisin and nuts... PERFECT! lets make bread pudding shall we? Bread Pudding Ingredients: - about 2 cups left over bread - 1 cup milk - 1 egg - sugar to taste - toppings of choice (nuts, dried fruits, chocolate etc.) How to: - cut the bread into small pieces- in a ...

beefy buns

Nothing goes well with a big bowl of hot and hearty beef noodle soup than soft and fluffy steamed buns!  This dish reminds me of my childhood fascination of the vibrancy of a busy marketplace. During summer vacation, before going to work, my mom would take us to the market to buy our meals for the day and the corner noodle shop was often than not our main stop. We would order a couple of servings of beef noodles and steamed buns... I would often discreetly watch the people inside the shop - fascinated by the diversity of the patrons coming and going. There are families dinning out for a treat... couples maybe on a date... lone diners and working people like my mom dressed in office uniforms. Our take away package seems to come too quick for me to enjoy my time people watching and making my self dizzy going round and round on the bar stools. With a plop the server would hand us bulging bags full of hot soup and that would be the signal ending my market adventure as my mom wo...
