	Apple Rose Cheese Crumble Pie With Salted Caramel Sauce by Smiley Baker When SCS butter announced publicly that a baking challenge would be organized in June this year, I was excited.

First round was open category and we…	1 vote 441 views
	Pumpkin Char Siew Bao by Smiley Baker These were not well received by my kids as they looked golden yellow instead of white, not their expected traditional ones. The pumpkin used in this recipe gave that golden hue and would be spot on if used to serve during Chinese New Year for that auspicious touch which I am pretty sure the old folks at home will nod and approve.I…	1 vote 372 views

	Orange Sponge Cupcakes by Smiley Baker I have tried using whole eggs recipe before but with not much success. After reading her post, I decided that I needed to use my Kenwood stand mixer to do the job and boy! Am I glad...there is indeed a difference. Not that you can't make the traditional sponge without the stand mixer but I guess I am just not 'pro' enough without the…	1 vote 440 views
	Red Velvet Cupcakes by Smiley Baker I was quite tempted to go for a all natural recipe instead of using colourings if I had the time but these cuppies were a last minute thingy and so I went for a recipe which I took from blogger Brown Eyed Baker. You can refer to her original recipe here which is in cups measurements.Look at the red batter all ready in the cupcake…	1 vote 389 views
	Rainbow Cake by Smiley Baker Rainbow CakeHad a great time putting this together. The only daunting part is writing the message on top of the cake.

But when I received…	1 vote 828 views

For this project, I started going through some tutorials available on the internet. The options are…	1 vote 446 views
	Mini Neapolitan Cake by Smiley Baker Pretty,lovely and dreamy. Inspired by I am baker. Mine is a mini size. I used the same sponge roll recipe for the cake layers. I divided the batter into 3 bowls separately and mix in cocoa powder in one, colour one in pink and left the last one plain. I don't have so many round cake pans so I used a swiss roll pan to bake all the 3…	1 vote 343 views
