Steak Cake

 

Made Hubby the best cake ever!

He's more of a savory guy,

Meat and potato kind of guy.

He told me months before his Birthday that he doesn't want 

cake for his Birthday.

I told him what if I make it?

He said he would like it.

So I did it!!

Ladies and gentlemen!

A steak cake.  =)

Isn't she pretty!??

The cake is layered inside with mashed potatoes.

The aka frosting is also mashed potatoes.

The Rose bacon was cooked in the oven.

It wasn't that hard.

I made sure they had toothpicks while being cooked.

I think he loved it!

It was so good!!

I would love a cake like this for my Birthday too!!!

It's not hard to make I swear.

It does take time to make it.

I highly recommend!

Enjoy!

Pandan Custard Cake

 

For this year's Dessert. 

I made something different. 

I thought the color of this will suit the occasion. 

I used the same recipe of making 

( Ube Flan )

..And it turned out as good!

The only difference I did was I used Pandan Flavoring,

Instead of an Ube!

It is definitely a lot of process making this

And it was so worth it!

Let me know what you guys think!

Enjoy!!!

I am such in a Baking mood these days.

Now that I'm pretty much done unpacking and just doing little bit of cleaning here and then..

It's so nice to have a lot of extra time!

I still have some Apples to use so I decided to make Bread this time.

I love love Bread, It's the easiest food to eat for breakfast of just for snack.

Not everyone loves bread in the house but it still quickly get eaten. 

 This bread is definitely one of the easiest to make.

If you are a new Baker this is the best thing to make.

Let me know what you guys think!

Boston Cream Poke Cake

I made a lot of Pumpkin dessert lately.

So I decided to give Pumpkin a break and make something else last weekend. :)

I've been wanting to try to make Poke Cakes.

I had it one time when I went to a house party and it was so good.

So moist! You don't need Ice cream for sure.

This cake needs to be kept refrigerated.

It taste better after it has sat in the fridge overnight.

I've been seeing a lot of  Poke Cake recipes. 

I will definitely try the other ones.

Enjoy!

Boston Cream Poke Cake

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• ingredients needed to make cake; eggs oil and water
• 2 3.4 oz boxes instant vanilla or French vanilla pudding
• 4 cups milk
• 1 tub chocolate frosting

Instructions

1. Make cake mix according to directions and bake in a well-greased 9 x13 pan.
2. When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake (about 1-inch) intervals using a wooden spoon handle or other similar size object.
3. You want the holes to be fairly big so that the pudding has plenty of room to get down in there.
4. Be sure to poke right down to the bottom of the cake.
5. In a bowl, prepare pudding.
6. Whisk together instant pudding mix with 4 cups milk.
7. Whisk until all the lumps are gone.
8. Pour pudding over cake. Taking care to pour it right into the holes as much as possible.
9. Spread it all out and using the back of the spoon, gently push pudding down into the holes.
10. Put the cake into the fridge to set and cool (about 2 hours).
11. Remove the lid and foil covering from the tub of chocolate frosting.
12. Pop it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
13. Stir with a spoon.
14. It should still be a little thick but pourable - not bubbly hot.
15. Pour chocolate frosting on top of pudding.
16. Spread frosting evenly over cake starting in the center then spreading it towards the sides.
17. Allow to cool on the counter for a few minutes, then put into the fridge to fully cool and set up.
