Castle Birthday Cake

My daughter wanted me to hold a party for her at her nursery, so i asked her which cake she wants, she instantly replied castle cake :) i tried to make her change her mind because i was kind of finding it difficult to make a castle cake ;) but she would not budge from her choice of cake, so here it is the finished castle cake for her nursery party...
i regret not taking more photos of the cake in the making.. hopefully will remember next time when i make a cake..

Lemon tarts and mini cupcakes...

Snow white play puppets

My daughter loves Snow white and all of the 7 Dwarfs.. So we made these cute very easy ice lolly stick puppets together...
I searched for the pics online as i did not have the stickers for all of the characters, we just cut and stuck them to the stick and voila she had her puppets to play with... 

Saffron & Almond Cupcakes

 I wanted to make saffron cupcakes from a long time, but never got around to make them until finally now... plus this recipe is actually a little healthy as well, because this cupcakes contains no butter or oil, plus it has almonds.. which normally kids don't eat, but this way my daughter happily ate the almond containing cupcakes..

 ING: 1 teaspoon saffron threads
          2/3 cup milk
          1 cup flour
          1/3 cup ground-up almonds
          1 cup sugar
          1 tsp baking powder
          1/2 tsp baking soda
          pinch of salt
          1 tsp vanilla extract
          1 large egg

Method:
      preheat oven to 375F.
      In a mortar and pestle finely crush the saffron threads with 2 tablespoons of warm milk..
      In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
      In another bowl combine saffron/milk mixture, remaining milk, egg, vanilla.. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together..
       Pour into cupcake or muffin tins and bake for around 15 min.. or until done..
       Tastes best when it comes right out from the oven..
