We posted both at Instagram and Facebook this picture of the chocolate cake that we baked last night, and it made a lot of our friends crave for one! For our first try, this is really a jackpot cake! From the smooth and intense chocolate ganache to the moist and almost melt-in-the-mouth soft cake - everything was what we hoped for a classic chocolate cake. This cake ... READ MORE
Food Post: 10 Dove Street
I first read about 10 Dove Street from one of my favorite bloggers, Ms. Aileen of Travel.Food.Finds.

Sweet Gifts for Christmas
Christmas is that time of the year where we receive the most number of C's - cookies, cakes, chocolates and candies. All sweet food! And we love receiving them, right? Unfortunately for me, I am not a sweet-tooth person but I do crave for one once in a while. On the other hand, AJ loves sweets.
