Strawberry Vs Pumpkin Cupcakes

Made these mini fruits, nuts and vegetables cupcakes for my new colleagues and family. I had always wanted to try my bakes using fresh fruits and vegetables. So for these cupcakes I had used pumpkin, pistachio nut, strawberry and promangrante.

This is the Strawberry & Pistachio Cupcake that is topped with Rose Scented Cream Cheese and arranged with fresh Strawberry and Promangrante Seeds to enhance it's colour and taste.


Freshly chopped strawberry cubes, pistachio nuts and strawberry milk are added to the batter to enhance the texture and taste of the cake.


This is the inner cut out of the cupcake where you can see the added of fresh strawberry and nuts. It's great to serve this with English Tea for either Morning or Afternoon Tea-break.

These are my special Pumpkin & Chocolate Cupcake that are topped with Pumpkin Puree Cream Cheese and arranged with extra roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

Freshly grated Australia Pumpkin, with added chopped pistachio nuts and spices to the batter to enhance the texture and fragrance of the cake.

This is the inner cut out of the cupcake where you can see the shredded pumpkins and chopped pistachio nuts. For your surprised, I had added a cube of 70% Dark Chocolate at for each cupcakes to enhance the texture of the cake even more.

Orange Marmalade Roasted Chicken

This Orange Marmalade Roasted Chicken is indeed a great and tasty finger food or main course dish if you will to serve it with some salad, rice or baked potatoes to make it more of a complete meal. I modify this recipe from one of my best friend Pamy's Website.


I served these baked chicken wings with a beaded of Homemade Potato Chips and Pork Ribs Watercress Soup for our dinner today. Reyon enjoys these chicken wings as it's really taste good which is like what Pamy mention, it's better than BBQ chicken. But instead of baking it for such a long hours, I do a short cut by simmer the chicken wings and marinate sauce under low heat for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked, then I put it in toaster oven and baked it for about 20 minutes or less until the sauce is caramelised and the chicken wings are crispy and nice.
Ingredients:
3 Medium Chicken Wings
1.5 Tablespoons Of Light Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Of Dark Soy Sauce
3 Tablespoons Of Orange Marmalade
1 Tablespoon Of Lemon Juice
1 Grated Lemon Rinds
3 Cloves Of Garlic

Methods:
1. Wash and pat dry the chicken wings, then mixed all the ingredients together except for the garlic cloves and marinate the chicken wings for about 15 minutes or more in the fridge.
2. Prepare a non-stick pan and put in the garlic cloves and saute on very low heat until a bit fragrant then pour in the marinated chicken wings and sauce.
3. Cover and simmer for about 7 - 10 minutes(turn occasionally to coat the sauce) until the chicken is almost done.
4. Transfer the chicken to a baking tray or aluminum foil parcel and baked in the oven toaster for about 15 - 20 minutes until brown and crispy.

Notes:
a) Before putting into the oven toaster, you can spread some extra Orange Marmalade on top the chicken and baked accordingly to enhance the flavour.
b) You can add more dark soy sauce if you prefer to have a darker colour for your chicken wings.

Oreo Cupcakes & Assorted Donuts

Oreo Cupcake With Dual Chocolate Chips and Top With Oreo Cheese Cream...... How does these sound to you? Sinful Right!!! I really loves these cupcakes as compare to the previous 2 flavours that I had made. Maybe because I am a Chocolate and Oreo lover.......


I had made these cuppies specially for my family, relatives and friend. Especially for my dear Reyon and my cousin who really loves anything that is made of Oreo. So I hope these might surprised them and be of their liking.

The texture of this cupcake is soft, light and fluffy. With the combination of the Ground Oreo & Dual Chocolate Chips it actually add some extra texture and flavour to it. And furthermore with the Oreo Cream Cheese topping, it really make it wonderful for Oreo products lovers......

Made these Assorted Baked Donuts as well..... and I had two new flavour added to my Donuts List which are the Mango and Strawberry Donuts.
