Baby Chef

Friday's here again and it means that it's baking day! :D

But today, it's a little bit more special. Today, my little Baby Chef, Ryan, decided to hijack the kitchen completely. Ryan is four years old and absolutely LOVES cakes. My cakes specifically. :) He's my biggest fan and I'm so proud to share that he has shown interest in baking since he was 3 years old. I have always believed that kids should be given a little bit more trust and let them show what they can do. He's always helped me in the kitchen (though, I don't let anyone, I repeat, ANYONE, within a five-mile radius of the kitchen when I'm baking for you guys), so I let him explore his curiosities. Trust me, he's just like me when he bakes. He does not let me do anything!!! The only help I did was do the measurements and putting the muffins into the oven.

We're now waiting for the second batch to bake. The first one's here:

Banana Muffins fresh out of the oven! (Oh, those empty slots are because Ryan scooped the mix into them without the wrapper hehehe!)

Banoffee Pie

*Storage: Please keep your pie in the fridge and consumed within 24 hours. :D

Offee Banoffee Pie

The smell of bananas drives me... well, bananas!! :D

Will be uploading a less messy (and yucky! teeheehee!) picture of the Banoffee Pie soon! :D

Offee Banoffee Pie

There's been a request for Banoffee Pie for quite some time now (thanks for the request!! And I'm so sorry for the delay! Hehehe) and I only managed to whip up some last Thursday. :D It was also the perfect opportunity because we had a family get together... children would be around (my number one fans! XD ) and there would actually be people (apart from myself and my parents) to eat a giant piece of Banoffee Pie. So yayyyy!!

A Banoffee Pie is essentially made up of a biscuit crust, a layer of bananas, a layer of dulce de leche (toffee or caramel are the less snooty names hehehe) and topped with freshly whipped cream, garnished with dark chocolate. YUM!!!!!!

My Banoffee Pie was a smashing success (yayyyy!!!!). Though, I was so amused when the kids requested that I NOT put bananas in. I said that it wouldn't be BANoffee Pie then since there's no banana. The response: It's alright. They are happy with just OFFEE Pie. XD Hehehe! All in all, the bananas weren't such a problem because they enjoyed the pie nevertheless. :D I was so pleased when a cousin insist she smuggle the last quarter home! LOL!! I hope you guys will enjoy my Banoffee Pie too! :D Yes, with bananas! :D

PS: I only had less than a couple of hours to prepare this pie, so please excuse the awful pictures and presentation! IT WAS A MESS! I didn't have the opportunity to take a decent picture of a slice of the pie, so you'll just be viewing messy plates!!

Eeee awful!! I was extremely in a rush I just basically poured dark chocolate all over the pie!! Hehe! Whoops! I'll make sure yous will be pretty! :D


A jumbled up mess!! But everyone loved it! :D

Bananas For Cupcakes!

Haroooooo everyone!! :D Here's a new addition to the family! :D Say hello to Bananas For Cupcakes! XD

I LOVEEEEE bananas! Actually, these are similar to Bananarama, except that the texture of these cupcakes are dense. We can't have bananas in the house without making a cake out of them hehehehe!! So, you can betcha bottom dollar that I use REAL, fresh bananas in my cakes. No artificial flavorings, thank you. :D Hope you love them as much as I do! :D
