He's my love at first sight... I made this cake for DinhPhong 7th birthday party. This year, we decided to stay away from the usual big party and geared toward a simple gathering with a handful of friends and cousins instead. We had the party at the local community pool and a penguin birthday cake, per the birthday boy's request. Just like every kid, my son has his favorite stuffed animal that he plays and sleeps with. The green "Penguiny" was named after it was given to him about four years ago by his best cousin, Ivy. He confides his daily problems, and seeks comforts from this Penguin ever since. He is never without this stuffed animal unless he’s at school. So, when he asked for a penguin cake, I know that I need to try to mirror his birthday cake to his all-time favorite toy.

It has been a lazy summer for me. I decided to take a break for the last few months to complete a handful of home projects, to master a selected dishes for the hubby, and to spend some quality times with the kids. We had a wonderful summer where we made a new mudroom in our garage, took a short road trip to Vancouver, British Columbia to savor several amazing tropical fruits, and enjoyed an 8-day long in Florida to explore South Beach Miami and Disney World. It was our first time in Florida, and we know we will be back for another visit in the future. My goal is to roam around the entire World case at Epcot the next time I visit Disney World.
So, here we are back at the first posting in "awhile." Before I went on our last trip, I have accepted to bake for an old, elementary school friend for her baby shower. I was lucky that she's one easy gal to bake for. With her love of fruits topping, we both agreed to try lemon sponge cupcakes with coconut whipped cream. And that’s how this posting comes to live... |
