Matcha Macarons

I have a bottle of matcha ( green tea ) powder that I have always wanted to use for baking something with. Finally, I found some time last Thursday to make a batch of matcha macarons. The matcha powder gave the macaron shells a very nice hue of green. I did not need to add any additional food coloring to the mixture at all. Also, I baked these macarons with a friend in mind. I had promised to bake something for her, but due to my busy schedule, it was always being procrastinated. So I am very glad that I have finally fulfilled my promise.

Baby Full Month ( 满月 ) Cupcakes

Baby shower cupcakes in pastel blue and white theme baked for baby Sheldon's first-month celebration party. The cupcakes were decorated with baby's favorite things, including milk bottles, pacifier, bibs, pram, rattles, booties etc. I had great fun making these cupcake toppers, as they brought back memories of the days when my sons were new born babies. Reaching first month was a big milestone for both my babies and myself. It is great joy to see the baby growing in leaps and bounds within a month's time, and it also brings great sense of pride for parents, especially the first time parents! Happy first-month, Sheldon, and here's wishing you a beautiful life ahead!

Tee Off Cupcakes

These vanilla and chocolate chip cupcakes were for my neighbor, who is an avid golfer. The wife ordered the cupcakes for his upcoming birthday. It took me a while to hand-mould the golf bags, golf clubs and golf balls, but at the end of the day, I was pretty happy with the outcome. I hope the family enjoys the cupcakes.... and P, if you are reading this... the Poh family is wishing you a very happy birthday, and may you be blessed with everything nice throughout the year! Bon anniversaire!
