December is the craziest month for me coz the kids (not my children) are having their holidays and everybody goes on holiday, so there is a lack of staff and volunteers at my workplace. IT'S CRAZY! INSANE!
Well, let's not think about work. It's the weekend! Enjoy right? So, I have been wanting to blog about my baking date I had with my favourite girls. It was quite enjoyable and tiring. Many hilarious photo moments missed. But anyway, most importantly, we had fun together. <3
Task was to bake Strawberry Shortcake for our boyfriends :D Birthdays, anniversary (Michelle & my anniversary falls on the same day #suchacoincidence) and learning how to bake.
My house has a professional baker, my mum. She bakes for CNY! Her goodies, super yummy. We have professional ovens and equipment at home, hence everybody headed to my house. I'm such a failure :( My sister takes after my mum.

| Pea and her strawberries :D |
Hilarious story to the left pic #1:
CL: Pea, you sure there's suppose to be so much sugar.
Pea: Yeah that's what the recipe said!
A few hours later...
CL: There's so much sugar in the strawberry. It's suppose to be soaked in the water right?
Pea: Erm...

| Mixing in progress :) |
Hilarious story to the above pics #2:
Me: Pea, the dough doesn't taste very nice. Are you sure there's suppose to be so little sugar?
Pea: Yeah, that's what the recipe said.
Me: CL, you try and tell me whether it's sweet or not.
CL: No, it taste salty.
Me: Mich and Pea, taste it.
Pea: Oh yeah hor, why so salty one?
Mich: I think ok leh.
Me: CL, we are more sugar, don't let Pea see.
So we dumped more sugar in.
A few hours later, as Pea's cake was not successful, she did it a second time...
Pea: I think I read the recipe wrongly. The sugar that I put for the strawberries was suppose to be for the cake and the cake one was suppose to be for the strawberries.
LOL :D

Hilarious story #3:
Me: CL, usually when we bake cake, it's suppose to be slightly more doughy right?
CL: Yeah...
So we carried on mixing for about another half and hour.
And when Pea and CL did their cake the second time...
Pea: Stir mixture until it's crumbly.
Me: Ooooppsss... No wonder the cake failed. LOL :D

| Mich made me addicted to Fashion Story. And now Pea is hooked too :) |
 |
| Couldn't help it but to disturb, Pea! :) She wanted to kill me coz more pimples might come out! |

| Baking in progress :) |

Guess who is the first successful cake cutter?
Michelle, who has never baked before!!! :D
This is super funny because the icing kept on melting and my sister who came back, helped us to decorate the cake. LOL :D
We were like, why is the icing melting?
My sister: Eh, did you put gelatin?
Me: Are we suppose to?
My sister: Yeah to harden the icing.
Me: OOOOOHHHHH...

And then, Pea had to bake 2 times.. First time, when she tried cutting her cake, the cake broke into half and inside was moist. I suspect we mixed it too much. Second time she baked, instead of cutting into half, while taking the cake out of the tin, the top part came off. It was like those bread bowl kinda thing. She couldn't stop laughing. Anyway, you should see the way we tried to salvage the cake. She just stuffed the strawberries no where near the centre and she said, "I'll just cut this side for my bf where there are strawberries."
So below, tadang! Successful and yet not so successful strawberry shortcakes. My brother said it tasted horrible.
We swore after this never to bake cakes for our boyfriends again. IF we had to do it, we will buy the instant mixes.

Here are some post of Summer my dog, CL decided to do a thesis on Summer. She calls her the "Uber Nua Dog." The only reason why Summer gets up is to lick food of the floor or to take snacks from me.

Lastly to end of my super, super long post, 3 pretty stuff from #lovebonito.
Davenport Dress in Forest Green
This dress is a must get for tulip dress lovers. The only thing I don't like about the dress is the low back. Super mah fan to get bra extenders or nu bra. Material is fantastic and the color is love. Super flattering in my opinion and nice for Christmas :D So tempted to get it in another color. What color should I get? Crimson or Colbat blue?
Oasis Pleated Skirt in Butterscotch and Covet Walsh Top
I'm not a fan of pleats honestly as I think it makes me look fat. Surprisingly, I'm ok with the pleats for this skirt. Material is quite good too. Much more worth the money than the Shoshana skirt. :) As for the Walsh top, I'm getting it in black too, proof of how much I like it. :) Money is not the issue when it comes to clothes. It's more of quality and whether it justifies your buys.
Have a great Sunday everybody :)
