Why do I call my little haven Brownie Addict? Well, that's the word came that up most with people begging me to stop making them anymore brownie, cause they were so addicted to my brownie they could not stop opening that little ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=16 http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=25 http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=56 http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=53 I've taken a hiatus from brownies, because I've recently been reminded and inspired by a tin of cookies which we had in HK last year. In laws were in town lately and I managed to get together with my sis-in-law who shares my interest in baking, and we experimented to ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=52 Wow.. Ben 10 must be really hot these days. Friends have been asking me to please help them make a Ben 10 cake for their dear sons. I'm oblivious cos with Nic, 5 and Nat, 3, it's been princess this princess that for everything! Perhaps, things will change in 4 ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=51 Been a while since I've added any updates. Month of July was spent baking brownie after brownie to raise funds for Charmaine and her family. Most of the sales aggregated in the first 2 weeks and response kinda died down in the later 2 weeks. People just sometimes got busy ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=50 I was sent a link recently about a 4yr old cancer patient who needs USD350K to get to New York to increase her chances of survival from 20% to 50%. As I browsed through her site, viewing her videos... tons of thoughts and fear rushed through. Just 3 ft away, ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=49 This year Caleb (my nephew) was very much into being a soldier.. I guess got rubbed off cos his daddy kept getting recalled for Reservist (yup.. "lucky" man and poor preggy sis). As usual, we were cracking our heads over the choice of cake to use. Wanted to use the carrot ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=48 Moist, fluffy, soft, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! Strands of real carrots, plump rum-filled raisins, pineapples and macademia nuts (well I deviated from the usual walnuts cos they tend to be bitter), nicely spiced with cinnamon. http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=47 I was thinking what theme for a bunch of ladies celebrating their birthday in the month of May. And I thought of what birthday present I would have liked. With 3 kids, the idea of a beach resort was high on the list. Believe or not, I've never been to ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=46 Chewy chewy chewy with the slight crunch! Delicious Oatmal Raisin cookies that leaves you craving for more. Be sure to keep the cookie tin close under your watchful eyes. Speaking from experience because cookie thieves are always sneaking up on my cookie tin when I am on conference calls. haha http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=45 Fluffy moist banana muffins! My gals and colleagues sweep these clean. Psst... and there's brandy in these too! I think my hubby is going to send me off to Alkie Anon soon! haha   http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=44 Banana falls into the category of fruits that go really well with chocolate, amongst others like strawberries, raspberries.. well basically any berries for that matter. Soooo... here's BrownieAddict's Go Bananas Brownie with sweet ripe "Ang Bak Jio" slices in the middle. Marital bliss with the crisp top and chewy brownie base! http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=43 HH working overseas wanted to surprise his wife with a Tiramisu on her birthday. But the trouble was they had kids at home and his own 14month old baby girl, who will definitely want a piece of the cake. I totally understand.. I still have my 2 girls coming to ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=41 What is Valentine's Day without bright red cream and a pretty organza ribbon? Can give Mrs Fields a run for their money. http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=40 HL called me and asked if I could make a raspberry brownie for her. I've never done it before but since she says her bf loves raspberries, I decided to do her a favour. I've never been much of a raspberry fan other than the Magnolia raspberry swirl vanilla ice ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=39 My loyal fans call these pineapple balls because of their shapes. These came from growing up with my mum's pineapple tarts which every year, friends of hers would eagerly await her giveaways. It's embarassing but I love these tarts so much myself, I swipe them fresh from the oven and ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=34 Tiramisu was never intended as a cake. It originated as an Italian dessert and best served in a dessert cup! http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=31 Made with mascarpone cheese, Savoiardi fingers soaked in espresso, brandy or Bailey's or both! I've analysed and researched and experimented for the best Tiramisu cake ever cos I am a self-confessed Tiramisu freak. I've gone "blah" at some of the dry Tiramisu cakes I've had at the cafes - obviously ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=17 Was very happy to make these cookies for K who was giving these away as favours.

Think Ice Cream Tiramisu! Soaked with brandy and coffee, a sure winner at any Christmas Party! http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=26 Sarah picked out a piglet at a Taka fair Very decisively. No other members of the Pooh Bear family could distract her or take her away from Piglet. That was like 2 weeks before her birthday which set the entire theme for her one year old birthday party! A multi ... http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=23 Caleb's cake was more challenging. His requests mutated by the week from Elmo driving a convertible, to fighter planes to finally F1! Everyone loved the flags! Strawberry fresh cream cake with strawberry slices in between vanilla sponge. Don't ask me how much this weighs.. :P http://brownieaddict.com/blog/?p=35
