Berry busy this Christmas Season ...

Don't get Berry wrong... Berry is not busy with cakes but work ... So left with berry little time to think for presents and parties ... left alone requests from all around ...

Berry decided to do something special for friends & loved ones so came up with ideas how a log cake can be different from the usual ones...

Berry started to picked up skills for chiffon cakes & Swiss rolls since Oct ...and finally baked a soft and fragrant Pandan cake ... maybe Berry should gather more researches and post a separate blog for PANDAN CAKE :)

It's was said very soft and fragrant - big slices were all taken up by family and friends ...
After many tries of PANDAN cake, Berry's confidence builds from there and decided to bake mini log cakes for this Christmas give aways ... EY's birthday was round the corner then, so Berry baked her very 1st Log cake with fresh cream - It was very armature ... very ugly Mickey and J even commented it's not Berry's standard to have this cake ... Opps true indeed!!!


Berry was so disappointed with this - her 1st fresh cream cake...
 After many tries on plain Swiss rolls, Berry decided to go for designs that must be beyond the usual log cakes' designs that come with botox or clone looking plastic toys ... Berry was so disappointed with many visits to the bakeries to find their inventory for this season is really weak so Berry decided to create Berry's own Jingle Log Cake...

1) Rocher, cookies & cream log cake was pretty rush since Berry has to work till late that night so this was done in less than 3 hours

Rocher, cookies & cream was created for Prince X Sunday's class Christmas party - customised to suit the young palettes

The next day, Berry decided to self challenge on sugar art - gum paste flowers...

Inspired from a fully bloomed Cymbidium Orchid Berry saw last week on a table arrangement...Berry decided to create a fair lady version this season. Since Lychee Martini is all time favourite lady's cocktail

TAR DA!!!! Berry presents Berry's Lychee Martini Log Cake - dressed with the elegant Cybidium Orchids


infused with Volka and Champagne - this cake is pretty to look at toxic to handle :p
Berry wishes all in advance Merry Christmas and happy holidays ... ...
