... yesterday was Easter and we were invited to an Easter egg hunt and picnic with some families from our kids' school. The day before my kids and I planned to bring some cookies to give away to their friends (instead of the usual chocolate Easter eggs) and I planned to bring an Ube Macapuno cake for my plate to share. This is what I like most living here in Australia, everyone brings a dish to share... no one has to bring all the food, the responsibility of it lies with everyone. So the whole of Saturday was spent baking and cleaning up. I baked 2 cakes, one I brought to my in-laws for Saturday dinner and the other one for our picnic the next day. Both were a success, so now I move on to the next cake to perfect...
the cake I brought to my in-laws... Ube Macapuno Cake (purple yam and coconut) with Vanilla cream cheese icing
... the cookies I baked and the kids iced (including the 2 toddlers)...

... the kids are now getting interested in baking, everytime they see me bring out the measuring cup, they will start coming over and ask what am I baking... this is what I love with the school holidays, we don't need to wake up early, no need to be in a rush and we are able to spend the day together... now that I am so into baking, I am hoping that I will rub it off to the kids so that it will be second nature to them to love the kitchen as I have learned to love it... I thank God that he has given me this absolutely wonderful talent in baking...
