Colorful Chocolate Cornflake

I made this simple sweet treats dessert for my son's lunch box. It's very easy to make!

It's crunchy and kids like it a lot because it's chocolate and cornflake.

Add a little touch up with colorful sprinkles to make it look more festive and fun to eat :D

Choux Pastry

This is my 5th time making it, and I think I'm getting better for understanding the 'raising' shape that it should be. It's so easy to make and you could add any kind of filling into it. I'm trying to be more creative for the filling, and try not to use the ussual vanilla custard (which is I like it so much and there's nothing wrong with it).

For the filling, I made a strawberry cream blend with some chopped fresh raspberry (Yes, as I said before, I'm such a strawberry fanatic). It's such a fresh taste and it's best to consume right away from the refrigerator. I Think, this is the kind of snack that has a label 'One is never enough'...

Petite Choux Pastry - so small and so cute

I made 2 batches, 1st one is the bite/petite size.. it turns out really cute..happy with the shape. The 2nd batch s the normal size, but I think it's still smaller than normal size. I like to make something that it goes right through your mouth easily.

Normal size Choux Pastry - 5 pieces in the box

I also made a packaging (actually only wrapping a plastic hehe), using that nicely design plastic box I've mentioned before. Each box contains 5 'kue sus'. I send it to my working partner, Nini and my sister, Sendy. The feedback that I got from my sis, she likes the taste which is something new, and asked me whether I'm gonna sell it or not?..hehe.. we'll see :)

Cappuccino Mousse Puding

I had this Book about Puding for almost 2 years already..But I only have tried one recipe from the book. The reason why I bought this book was because I like the design and photograph. As a Graphic Designer, I don't know why I always get interested with books by looking on the cover first. If it has a good and eye catching lay out, then I will grab it to see it. If it has a combination of good photograph and layout and with a really good choice of typography..I surely will grab it even more faster.

A really nice doff plastic, with a nice typography.
It's simple but yet it looks so modern!

This week is gonna be another hectic week. I'm in this another big project for movie, doing their design collaterals..which is yippeee I love it a lot!. Almost every night I came to bed at 2.00 a.m or even worst..when Shubuh time's come! :(. Don't have time to fall asleep the morning after, giving me an idea of making something that I could eat in the morning but keep me stay up through the day. Then I turned into my Puding Book. I really have to try this Cappuccino Puding. Instead of drinking it which has been so obvious, I'd like to turn it into something different when consume it.

Back to the Book cover things..Yes, I do look on the book by its cover. I always had this motto together with my college best friend, Ira.."Don't judge a Book by It's cover..But by It's Design'..it surely works for me :D. This is also comes to my interest whenever I went to a Bake Shop. I like to see those cake packaging or whatever has a nice design on it. Something that's simple, or even colorful but it's still looks good. I found this plastic box, which has a really nice design and it's got this nice wording with a really nice type face. Finally! I've never seen such a nice packaging like this before. It's like I wanna meet who made this and shake their hand for being completely concern for design hehe :P So.. I couldn't help my self to buy those nice plastic box several sets.

A Cappuccino Puding with chocolate.
Keeping me up for the whole day...for sure!


And the good thing is, it fits to my Cappuccino Puding. I don't have any milk left, so I didn't make the fla..I replaced it with whipped cream, which is also goes along with the 'coffee' taste.
Now I have my morning coffee in a Puding-way :D

Very Berry-Lemony Cake


Yes yes, I love anything that ends with 'berries' so much I guess..
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Cranberries ('the band' also one of my idol hihi..)..etc.
That's why you could find a lot of them in this blog ^_^

One of Singaporean Blogger sold this really yummy looking triple berries cake. Knowing that I won't be able to buy and taste the cake... So, Inspired by the look, I've tried to make something that close enough to it.. in my own version :P.


The real cake used all the berries (Strawberries, Raspberries & Blueberries). Mine is minus that Blueberries.. -I meant the 'fresh' one- Coz it's just too pricey here..

Even though I didn't use that blueberries, but the taste is 'Damn Good' already.. Maybe if I'm using it, it will turns out 'Damn Great!' Ha ha.. But still, the combination of cream cheese and berries are just so perfect!!!


Lemony sponge cake, Cream cheese icing with a hint of strawberry flavor (from mashed strawberry & paleta), fresh strawberries and raspberries hidden, Top coated with cream cheese icing.
