Simon's b'day lunch
I love this time of year! Birthdays and Xmas parties galore! Last week was Simon’s birthday and w e h u m a n s arrived to a feast! Golden roast potatoes, chapchae, fried chicken, grilled meat, salad, kimchi and some fabulous cheese
Some of us couldn’t wait and dove straight into the pile of chicken. “It’s looking at us! It wants to be eaten!”
While others only had eyes for the asparagus covered in cheese
And then it’s dessert time and Karen gets a-flameing
The queen of all things citrus has created a tangy lemon tart with the perfect ratio of brulee’d top layer to custardy soft innards
Jacq has brought a slab of freshly baked brownies which are rich and chocolatey
Sook unveils a cake box from Black Star Pastry revealing the famed strawberry, watermelon and rose cake. It is a beautiful piece of art- the watermelon is juicy, the strawberries are ripe and sweet and the light cake layers with just a hint of rose
HAI! Look at what i made 😀
It’s a giant chocolate cupcake! You know how you make chocolate cups by painting melted chocolate onto a foil cupcake liner? Yeah I did the same but with my giant cupcake silicone mold hee I was all set for failure but I was so surprised it worked! I’ll post the how-to next week. Inside the chocolate cupcake are brownies, blueberries, mangos and several scoops of ice cream 😀
Happy birthday Simon!
ahahaha
