I have another Christmas party to attend this Sunday. Strangely, it's another 'popiah party'. Why is everyone detoxing? I haven't been over-eating, I don't need to detox!
So I have gone the whole hog and loaded the carrot cake with lots of jumbo raisins, walnut and grated carrot. The 2-layer cake with cream cheese frosting weighs at least 2kg!
Since I have a small oven which can only bake one layer at a time, I got up really early to get the job done before heading to work.
All the baking was completed by 8am but I had to wait for the cakes to cool down completely before I could slather on the frosting. Since I was in a bit of a rush, the frosting turned out looking very rustic. Maybe too rustic.
In the midst of all the baking, SL and Karen dropped by with their own home-made fruit cake and cookies! I feel so blessed to have friends like them.
They had just returned from a snorkeling trip in Lombok and are on leave until the end of the year. After the visit, they were headed for East Coast beach with their dogs. The weather's perfect for the beach today. I'm pretty envious actually.

That's lovely cake! I don't mind having it! hahahha...
Oh.. I have been thinking Ting - you need an oven for Christmas!
And a breadmaker...
Dropping by to wish you and your family a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
First of all, I need a bigger house! I have just enough space now for a little oven and completely no space in the kitchen for a breadmaker. I might have to start cooking in my bedroom!
hey Nick, That's so nice of you. I wish you Merry Christmas too and may you win the best dressed house award again this year!
