I know I was meant to publish my new menu for orders last month but due to unforeseen circumstances, this will need to be put on hold until i find another avenue to launch it officially so do bear with me for a little bit. Also, with the current economic situation, one has to be prudent with spending. Keeping up with baking each week is not a problem but to do this professionally and at the quality which i am comfortable with, cost is a big consideration.
Anyway, enough with the boring stuff, suffice to say, i am determined to make this work!
Ok, so what have i been up to for the last few weeks? Firstly, i finally spent the vouchers which my colleagues gave me for my birthday last year. I spent it on 3 baking books (surprise surprise) of which the 2 cakes which i have baked last week and this week have been taken from.
The Strawberry Poke Cake was a recipe originally found on the Jell'O boxes but has since become an American classic. The interior is 2 layers of vanilla sponge cake separated by a thick filling of strawberry puree, slathered with chill whipped cream, topped with slices of red, juicy strawberries and silver baubles for that bit of bling :-)
The next cake is a Chocolate Fudge Bundt. For those who have followed by posts, I did swear off baking another bundt cake but everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Learning from the previous mistake, i buttered and floured the bundt mold like there was no tomorrow, before pouring the chocolatey mixture in and it turned out PERFECT! Don't take my word for it, check out the pictures below.
