Some FOOD for a thought ... A Cake Artist ...

Heat it up and Eat with ice-cream !!! Love the special cheesee top layer and the nuts !!!

My lady friend got CRAZY over it !!!

Durian Cake


Tiramisu with the Finger Bread



Eat it Chill


I was not a cake person seriously. Cake to me was just some water and flour with some creamy stuff, whether it tasted sweet or not, tasted good or not, I did not actually bother too much previously as long as my stomach could be filled.

But I started to pay more attention and began to appreciate the art of Cake a couple of months ago when a good friend/mentor, Chris, recommended me to some designer cakes. And they are really designer cakes because the cakes are made by his graphic designer wife and the cakes are beautifully designed. Therefore, I call them designer cakes and they really look good to eat and the fact is, they really taste good.

While deciding to blog about the cakes, I actually told Chris to pass me the pictures of all the cakes I have ordered. You know what, I have actually ordered 7 cakes from them in less than 3 months’ time. Hey hey …this is no marketing strategy, I went back to them because I find their service good and the designer-turned-cake artist really puts her heart and soul into baking every cake. What you get is what you heard, no gimmicks.

Last week, I wanted to order a birthday cake and she refused to do it for me because she was honest enough to say that there ain’t good durians around this season and the cake will not taste good. I really appreciate her frankness and I was recommended the carrot cake. Believe me, you will enjoy it even more if you have tried to microwave it hot and eat it with ice-cream, it definitely taste better than those you get in the café coz the ingredient is so full and so right.

The durian cake …U really get to eat the durian meat but not some big chunk of durian cream. That is enough for you to want to finish the whole cake lor. And the pandan cake, she really spent hours to brew pandan leave in water, and the flavour you have tasted in the cake is 100% pure pandan leave flavour and not artificial colouring or taste. The chocolate cake is classic and taste heaven when serve chill. Another classic is the tiramisu, hey u really gota try the finger man and the tiramisu is definitely one of the best I have ever tried (oh btw, I’m a tiramisu person). The vanilla cake will be a good choice if you are not adventurous with those exotic flavours. My lady friend finished half the train and she kept the rest for her breakfast. No bluff lah …

Okie okie, just base on what I said is not going to convince because you may say I might be just helping a friend out to put on some good words. Then I really urge you that you must give it a try and she has actually got good number of order each week. Oh by the way, it’s a small household business, got license one. And if you are really curious who this cake artist who has triggered my taste bud for cakes, start your order coming … With each order of the cake, you will get a special price for my album. Oops … haaa !!!
Oh btw, the cake is worth the price and it is not too expensive. Try it and U know what I mean.

U could email them at beechris123@yahoo.com for more info.

Have a good appetite in 2009 and eat well, sleep well, stay well !

Some thoughts ...

I was talking to my friend about ageing population in Singapore.

One solutions to fill the gap between the young and the old is to "import" foreigners. Hopefully, these foreigners could help to stabilize and keep our economic structure and various systems in pace before our young pillars could mature to take over. Another solution is to extend the working lifespan of the seniors.

Meanwhile, the responsibility for upbringing our young pillars still lie in the hand of modern generation. The seniors may have their wisdom in shaping the policy and systems in how the society should run, it always differ when it goes to the level where people are actually doing it. To think and to do is always a world of difference. The seniors have to be able to understand the world of our juniors, not just base on research, hear-say or collective information.

2 days ago, news of ministry to have 3000 plus job opportunities in the educational field in 2009 instead of the initial 1000 plus really got me worried. Does it mean that more senior teachers have gone into retirement OR have the young generation given up teaching as a profession over the years OR is it pure indication that more young babies are now going to schools? The ministry has promised no pay-cut but more investment into educational facilities. My other concern is what is the job scope of teachers, who are we ready to employ into teaching profession?

Yes, you should get a job when you need the money. But some job needs more than just responsiblity. Does Singapore allow us space in our life to love and care for others? Teachers need love in order to love the children. Parents need to love the kids so that the kids know how to love the teachers and other kids. Parents need to love the school and the school need to love the parents too.

We are experts of our own world and everyone needs to see that and respect that. No one is superior than anyone. Yes, the economy may be bad but it's the people (including the government ... I mean government is humans too!) to fill in what is lacking in between the young and old --- I reckon it's LOVE !!! (not just responsibility, not just money).

People in Singapore, I like to dedicate this song "Wonderful Love" (Click the player on your LEFT) to all of you in the new year 2009. LIFE still goes on, regardless the economy is good or bad. Most importantly, hold on to your belief in LIFE and have faith in what you are doing. Keep to your direction !!! All the BEST !!!
