Our lunch, braised duck bought by HS. Eggs and Wanton soup cooked by the Host ... for us. Thanks for hosting us !
Home-made non-baked cheesecake by HS for MF's birthday the day before. We have the fortune of tasting it too. The cake is prettily decorated.
We chatted for quite a while and almost forgot about baking. We wanted to bake a pandan fudge cake which none of us has baked before. I have eaten this cake baked by LL and thought that it tasted really nice. Thanks to LL for sharing the recipe.
This requires 5-6 minutes of beating at 5-6 minutes.
A brand new oven and we were very privilege to be the first one using it !!!
Our first Pandan Fudge cake ... really greenie in colour. I suspected it was because we did not mix yellow colouring into the green colouring to lighten the colours. Anyhow, we were quite happy with our achievement of the day .. teamwork rocked ! We had a lot of fun baking the cake together despite the fact that I did not set the oven at all to bake the cake at first ! We have to wait a good 30 minutes more for the cake to be baked ! What a blunder ! I must admit that the 2 ladies did most of the baking ... kinda give instructions only .tsk tsk
While we have time, we admired the pretty bridal photos !
As usual, I was armed with a camera for this occasion. Went around the house to take some photos of the happy couple's house !
The kitchen ...
Peeping through the shelf divider at the ladies.
