你做的蛋糕很漂亮，看起来好像和外面买的一样，每次做了糕点都拿给我们吃，拿到都不好意思，你做的蛋糕和糕点都很好吃，可以自己做糕点去卖了，继续加油！
你做的蛋糕和糕点很漂亮，也很好吃，每次做了糕点都会拿给我们吃，很感谢你，有没有想过以后孩子长大了，自己开店做生意，我一定全力支持继续加油！
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for the compliment and support. Opening a shop doesn't cross my mind, I just bake out of passion. I am happy your family love my bakes and kueh.

Hi! It's my pleasure, always feel happy to see more food blogs coming up. Keep up the good work! and I certainly look forward to see more of your bakes :)
Hi Happy Flour
I happened to chance upon your website. All bakes here are so exciting and so beautiful. I like the vanilla cream cakes... it reminds of my childhood's desires....
Cheers

Hi Olivia,
Thanks, for your compliment. During those days, we only get to taste this kind of special cake when some well off relative was getting marriage. So this slice is really precious to me too.
rgds,
Hi happy flour,
this is one of my favourite childhood cake! How about the taste? Do they really taste like those "olden cakes"? If so, i would really love to try baking this. Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
Hi SW,
The texture of the cake is more fine and light.
Hi happy flour,
i will try it out soon! Thanks! :)
Your cake looks very soft and light. Your cake decoration also very nice!
Hi Cherry Potato,
Thanks for your compliment.
Hi Happy Flour,
Love the cakes you made, looks so soft and light. Can you teach me how to make the piping jelly? I bought those ready made ones and it's quite expensive, and the taste doesn't resemble those sold in the bakery. hope you can teach me so that i can save some $ :)
Hi Anonymous,
You can buy a bottle of piping jelly from Phoon Huat or Sun Lik. Then just add food colouring and pipe on the cake.
very nice and cute! ya, really reminds me of those days where these were given when someone was getting married... may i know do you cut the cake into slices before doing the deco?
Hi Yin,
Thanks for your compliment. I spread whipping cream on the cake first, then I slice it into individual pieces and decorate them.
