Lemon Meringue Pie

This is a mini Meringue pie.. actually its not that tall i just placed it on a souffle bowl so that it looks nicer haha!!

Out of stress from exams, i needed time off..i decided to make lemon meringue pie but ended up with lemon as well as chocolate+raspberry pie fillings.


Did u know squeezing and grating 4 big lemons needs alot of work! so damn tired.





Horrible table setting..actually its just my room.





My personal notes...collections of things i love.






Initially i was quite dissappointed with the pie cos the cream didnt seem to thicken even after i baked it.. i though i failed but after i refrigerated it last night..i took it out this morning and the texture was really nice...the taste was sweet and tangy i love it.
It turned out more like lemon cream than curd.

Cake fest!

I duno why or wat has gotten me into a cake baking frenzy...
This is the 2nd cake i've bake in this week...well i didnt bake it...my sister did...i meerly just decorated the cake.

She wanted this cake for her boyfriend's grandmothers 85th birthday! lol The strawberries were add ons by her bf.

I thought this cake turn out really gorgeous (better looking in actual view) except i haven quite prefected doing the sides that well.. i Love the pastel colors and all..v romantic...

Kenny(her bf) said it looks like a wedding cake.























Anyway i found out the cake didnt go too wellwith the crowd...cos it was too sweet for some...singaporeans dont have a thing for sweet western pastries...anyway i think its cos the whipped cream has sugar...i didnt ssee...i bought the one with sugar inside already :P my bad!




My failure attempt to do a fresh cream flower. haha




A dollop of love on a sweetheart strawberry.
