Clash Royale's Birthday Cake Arena | Birthday Cake In Reality

Happy 13th Birthday, Louis! You're officially a teen! Son, regardless of whether you're a teen or an old man, you're forever my little bundle of joy. May love and happiness accompany you throughout this journey of life. 

Birthday boy and his customized Clash Royale's Arena Birthday Cake.

Every year, I'd make at least one birthday cake for my boy. This year, he requested a "simple" cake that took me 6 hours to bake and decorate 看似简单其实不容易做呀！ That's because I made everything from scratch, based on a picture that my son sent to me...

Reality VS Expectation ~ Clash Royale's Birthday Cake Arena 
It's not 100% look alike, but my son loved it so much and he was very happy with it. 
Looking at the smile on his face, mommy's hard work is well-paid off! 

The base is Bandung flavour sponge cake, and the topper cake is a strawberry checkerboard cake layer. Toppers are meringue cookies and chocolate cookie stick ladders.

YangCheng Lake's Hairy Crab is here in Singapore! 阳澄湖大闸蟹

Hairy Crab is here in Singapore! These are YangCheng Lake's Hairy Crab that I got from Choimart. It comes in a package with cooking instructions, condiments and tools, it's so convenient and easy to cook at home. Basically just wash, steam and indulge! 

Here's a quick video to show how to prepare hairy crab at home:

What is Hairy Crab?

They’re seasonal crab and the season is from around October after Mid-Autumn Festival to end of December but it varies slightly year to year. They’re called hairy crab because they’ve got patches of brownish hair right around the claws. It’s a Shanghainese dish and Hairy Crabs are small in size, so it’s not about the meat in the crab like an Alaskan King Crab or Sri Lanka Crab, it’s all about the crab roe and crab milt.

The top quality Hairy Crabs, think of the "Bordeaux of Wines", come from Yangcheng Lake (阳澄湖) in Jiangsu Province in China…

👉First lake encountered by sea water and fresh water at the intersection of the Yangtze River.

👉The unique geographical conditions provide a high quality environment for the growth of Hairy Crabs.

👉 The ratio of calcium, magnesium, silicon, aluminium and oxygen in YangCheng Lake is rich and balanced, making the crabs healthier that provides the uniquely sweet flavour.

(Picture/ source: Choimart Singapore)

YangCheng Lake's Hairy Crab is now available in Singapore at Choimart Singapore.

Spinning Lego Theme Birthday Cake

24 July 2015

Back to the grandparents home...Lego theme birthday party to celebrate my son's 6yo birthday with families.  Back here, I do not need to bake and decorate cake because my cake decorating mentor is here ~ My sister in law :) In the past, before I started cake decorating, she's the one who made beautiful cakes for my son's birthday. And, she's the one who inspired me, given me courage and sharing useful tips with me. A big THANK YOU to you, Jasmine Ng. 

This Lego theme cake was made of Lego, I mean the structure that made the cake SPIN! 

With the effort of 3 of us ....

~ My sister in law design, bake and assemble the cake.

~ My hubby built the 'spinning' structure with Lego bricks. 

~ I made the fondant figurines ~ Emmet and Good Bad Cop

.....the cake was really awesome! Everyone enjoyed the party, EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

Here's the Spinning Lego Theme Birthday Cake...
