I know.. the lack of updates and the MIAs...
Works been, well, rather time consuming lately... and that doesn't really take me away from baking... it just kinda take me away from updating this blog.
I've made some creations, but unfortunately with my rather poor photography skills, the photos turned out really blah..
Oh, and the battle between the carrot cake and the marble cake? I made them both, but my marble failed miserably with an uncooked center and a seriously hideous marble effect. Oh well, I guess I aren't that artistic after all.
I promise I will put up the carrot cake recipe really soon, and hopefully baking a second batch... so.. stay tuned

Indecisive
It's been one of those nights when you really feel like baking, but have no idea what you wanna make.
I've been blog hopping, bake books flipping, and googling, and still can't draw even an ounce of inspiration! And that frustrates me a lot. What's more, to add salt to wound, I've had a fail bake last night.
I attempted an Amish bread. It actually turn out alright, just that I didn't lay the dough in the pan well enough that the bread sort of get "folded". I am beginning to wonder has my recent pastry making generate an automatic "fold the dough in three thirds" mode whenever I lay hands on dough?
But anyways.. the bread didn't taste like a white bread at all (well, I wasn't sure of what Amish bread was until I googled it while its in the oven baking, and realized it wasn't white bread at all). It's kinda like a sour dough bread, and of course, since I am envisioning a white bread, well, this is considered a "failed" bake.
Well back to my indecisiveness, I am torn between a carrot cake and a marble cake. Both aren't exactly my favorite, but I really want to try swirl a marble cake batter and see if I've got the artistic touch of creating a wonderfully marbled effect. And carrot cake? Well, cause I stumble across a recipe that seems so scrumptious that I want to give it a go.
So, the battle between the marble and the carrot. Who will win? We will know in a couple hours (or days) when I next bake.
Cheerios!

trial post via mobile
Although I've been a smartphone user for two years now, I have never actually tried blogging through a phone before.
Consider this a trial post. Who knows I may be blogging on the go in the future when the laptop's not at hand
