<span style="font-size: x-small;">Usually I make 2 types of frosting - the regular icing sugar buttercream and Swiss meringue buttercream. The icing sugar is overly sweet and for Swiss meringue, I usually use Wilton's pasteurized meringue egg white powder and it has a fake smell that I don't favor even if I add Madgascar vanilla paste. I wanted a sightly better option and I decided to try the buttercream with flour. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It looked easy. I tried with the all natural, unbleached, gluten-free Bob's Mill AP flour. I failed. <span style="font-size: x-small;">Le<span style="font-size: x-small;">sson learnt- f</span></span>ollow the <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/thate28099s-the-best-frosting-ie28099ve-ever-had/">instructions</a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> for first tries.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Whipping the new batch of frosting to a good consistency, I cheated with this - sublime hazelnut spread, added Milo and Hersey's cocoa powder. Ohhhhhh.... it taste great!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b>Best Yellow Layer Cake</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Yield: Two 9-inch round, 2-inch tall cake layers, and, in theory, 22
to 24 cupcakes, two 8-inch squares or a 9×13 single-layer cake </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (480 grams) cake flour (not self-rising)<br />
2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon (5 grams) table salt<br />
2 sticks (1 cup, 1/2 pound or 225 grams) unsalted butter, softened<br />
2 cups (400 grams) sugar<br />
2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract<br />
4 large eggs, at room temperature<br />
2 cups buttermilk (475 ml), well-shaken</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line
with circles of parchment paper, then butter parchment. (Alternately,
you can use a cooking spray, either with just butter or butter and flour
to speed this process up.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium
bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl
with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, then beat
in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well and scraping down the
bowl after each addition. At low speed, beat in buttermilk until just
combined (mixture will look curdled). Add flour mixture in three
batches, mixing until each addition is just Incorporated.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Spread batter evenly in cake pan, then rap pan on counter several
times to eliminate air bubbles. (I like to drop mine a few times from
two inches up, making a great big noisy fuss.) Bake until golden and a
wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40
minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a knife around edge
of pan. Invert onto rack and discard parchment, then cool completely,
about 1 hour.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Preparation Instructions</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bake your favorite chocolate cake and let it cool. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">In a small saucepan, whisk flour into milk and heat, stirring
constantly, until it thickens. You want it to be very thick, thicker
than cake mix, more like a brownie mix is. Remove from heat and let it
cool to room temperature. (If I’m in a hurry, I place the saucepan over
ice in the sink for about 10 minutes or so until the mixture cools.) It
must be completely cool before you use it in the next step. Stir in
vanilla. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">While the mixture is cooling, cream the butter and sugar together
until light and fluffy. You don’t want any sugar graininess left.
Then add the completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat the
living daylights out of it. If it and fluffy. You don’t want any sugar graininess left. Then add the
completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mixture and beat the living
daylights out of it. If it looks separated, you haven’t beaten it
enough! Beat it until it all combines and resembles whipped cream.</span></span>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Grab a spoon and taste this wonderful goodness. If there is any left
after your taste test, spread it on a cooled chocolate cake. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cut yourself a piece and put it on a pretty plate. Grab a fork and
prepare to experience the most divine pairing you can imagine. This
frosting on chocolate cake is to die for. Sure, the recipe sounds
strange — it has flour in it — but it’s sublime. Try it, you’ll see.
You’ll love it so much you won’t go back. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I used the rose mold for this cake and used water to glue them to the cake (the sides) before realizing its too 'plain' This was for my grandmother to celebrate her 81st birthday, so it had to be more festive, so I used red petal dust to paint the roses.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> The problem with painting with the glued flowers was that the colors bleed. Thus, I piped buttercream and painted the swirls with gold.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Challenging myself to make 3-tiered cake. Everything went well except... Making a bright color from colored gel and mixing them to cover the cake was tiring and disappointing. I used Americolors and the Fuchsia color didn't even come close to bright pink. I had to use petal dust to wash color over the cake. Lesson learnt: buy ready made color fondants</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> Frosted both cakes and chilled them before placing the fondant. I found that using plastic gloves is so much more neater than using the cake smoother or greased hands. I had more control, no sweaty palms, and need I to mention- more hygienic? Next I inserted cake dowels to hold the weight if the top tier.</span><br />

I made some sketches of some woodland animals and tried to make my first fondant 3d characters from scratch. It would be easier if I purchase books on how to make 3d fondant characters step by step... All I can say after this cake is that - I will be on a long hiatus to make characters<br />

The base was my sister's favorite Rose Levy's Grand Marnier Chocolate Chip Cake. I will probably find time some day to post the recipe up. Frosted it with chocolate ganache, then fondant the cake.<br />

The tree trunk needed a extra layer of cake and each layer was frosted with vanilla buttercream.Since I don't have brown fondant, I made chocolate from scratch with marshmallow and cocoa, which was surprisingly not very difficult as I expect it to be. Using toothpick and fondant veiner tools, I tried my best to give textures to make the trunk look somewhat real. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I first bought the princess crown headbands for my daughter and my nieces from Pasar Pagi (traditional wholesale market in Jakarta) and decided to go back and buy more to give as invitations so all the little girls can be princesses. Since they sold out of the crowns, I went about to buy few dozens of other cute headbands from for average $10 for a dozen.</td></tr>

One pillow case envelope only uses one A4 paper. I used local bookstore bought Conqueror 250gr fancy paper, drew and cut a prototype. Once I have the prototype done, its easier from there to draw the sides to cut. Using the blunt side of scissors to pressure carve on the curves so that it will be easier and neater to fold. I the double-taped the sides. To finish the envelope, fold in the curves. One done...30 more to go... <br />

Next to do was printing the invitation. Cut them and used a puncher to punch round corners on the invitation. After that was to put the invitation and headbands in. Ummm... the double tape didn't do much a good job on sticking the sides and the envelope was bursting. I tried to a tape to stick the sides from the exterior then almost decided to overlook the imperfections... then finally, I resorted to staple the gaping envelopes.<br />

Mommy's hard work on the cakes. Making full tiered cake was not easy at all. Should have been smrter annd used cake dummies instead. I bought the cake pop online and had them shipped to my NY hotel when I had business trip there. All 200pcs! I had to purchase a new luggage to bring these pops back. My sis made 50 pops for me for the kids birthday and I don't think she will be doing more pops any time soon after this :)<br />
Font used on the sticker was Budmo Jiggler.<br />

Rejoice and flaunt
your fabulous tummy! Unless of course if you are conservative, have skin
problems (my case for both #1 and #2), or like some of us who don't have svelte or toned arms, by all means- throw on a cardigan to cover up.<br />
<br />
Maybe it was my third pregnancy that I don't want to look frumpy and
wear those boring pregnant dresses like in previous pregnancies. I want
to look good and feel great even in my third trimester. Here's some
fancy day looks that bring forth best of Spring/Summer 2012 for pregger
ladies who wants to look pretty during events.<br />

This was my niece's birthday in Seoul and it took place in 2010 December. The Koreans celebrate their 1 year old birthdays festively and my niece's birthday was done elegantly in hotel ballroom with close family friends and relatives. We had sit down dinner and it proceeded with the career picking items before my brother-in-law, his wife and baby, cut the cake.<br />

Adrian Gan's last year Chinoserie Chic Collection was impressive, and a video on it can be found <a href="http://www.swankglossy.com/sg/newportal/?go=swankvision&visid=52">here</a>.
