Some time ago this cake was a hit on many baking blog sites and everyone seemed to agree this is a great recipe, it is lighter than the usual cheesecake, it is soft like sponge cake but smooth and creamy at the same time. This is also a perfect dessert for those who always say desserts are too sweet for them, I can assure you this is not too sweet. But beware you are not going to stop at just one slice.

What you do when you have some over-ripe bananas at hand? Make a banana bread or banana cake! đ my husband uses banana in his morning smoothies and sometimes, especially during the summer (I think), some of the bananas just went over-ripe too quickly.

Soap bar also lasts a lot longer that soap liquid, hence the savings that I can allocate to other stuffs on my shopping list đ It is also a good practice that is environmental friendly (still proud however small my contribution is). Since I started my research on handmade soap bar, I became more conscious of long list of chemical substances put into a store-bought soap bar and that I actually rub them on my skin. Although they have never irritated me so far or as I aware of, it still kind of puts me off buying them.

January 14th marks my birthday and I cannot be grateful enough for 30 years of blessings through ups and downs, for a husband who always supports me, for my family and friends, my colleagues, my mentors. All these people have made me who I am today, and I thank God for giving me chance of having them in my life.
I got a Fitbit One from my husband and a lovely earring stand from a good friend of mine. My husband also got me my favourite Watermelon Cake from Black Star Pastry.
