Birthday times...

♥ Ceri makes...  celebrated my birthday with some of my best girls at the London pad.  With a leisurely afternoon to spare I whipped up some treats from my Chinese Food Made Easy cookery book by Ching-He Huang.  For starter I made the roast char sui pork puffs,  which were delicious served with crispy seaweed.


Followed by the not so photogenic but incredibly flavoursome Singapore Noodles...


And lastly some refreshing lychee & lime juice jellies  ...which having now made I would advise to prepare the night before to ensure that they have fully set.

All of this was washed down of course with plenty of birthday fizz and in the oriental spirit a few glugs of sake!  The girls also suprised me with some yummy red velvet cupcakes...

Mostly baking cupcakes...

♥ Ceri makes... has been offline for a few days mostly due to LOTS of baking birthday cupcakes! Seem to have mastered the basic Vanilla Hummingbird Cupcake recipe so I'm trying to be a bit more creative with my decorations. My best make so far has to be the 'Top Gun' themed cupcakes I whipped up for my friend Russ' 80s Top Gun party, a bit of clever colouring and some royal icing decorations look fab...



Also had a first attempt at the Chocolate Hummingbird Cupcake recipe, which may not look as impressive definitely passed the taste test ...yummy! x
