Updates - Zach's 6th birthday, more new agar!

Zach's birthday was held in a fish farm. It's his Big 6 birthday, the age before, he is bogged down with the education system.....

It was great! Kids got to fish to their heart's content and then bring home the "goodie bag" of fishes.....

Zach's cupcakes had Nemo characters and I made him a pirate ship agar!

Remember the puppet Lamb Chops? Quite popular in the 1990s, i think.....She was a puppet ewe , performed by a ventriloquist, Shari.....quite cute then....I don't think anyone now knows who Lamb Chops is (other than it being very yummy, grilled with rosemary and thyme), but I made this for a baby's one-month party, cos it just reminded me of the time I watched the show!

The macho man, a tribute to Zach's capoeira instructor who had been doubly promoted to Professor

I love nordic ware pans.....they are great to dress up plain cakes, cos it comes in so many nice shapes, that don't require you to ice too much of the cakes. I used the fruit pan to make coconut agar....

Also made cakes with other pans....

Chocolate cake

Agar Mooncakes

My attempt at agar mooncakes.....

Mock egg yolks and lotus paste - made of coloured coconut agar and gula melaka agar

Like real??

09.09.09

09.09.09 was my husband's 40th birthday, attempted to be Rachel Ray - everything done in 30 mins (actually, I took 3 days).....made a cake and agar and get a party going at Aloha Changi for family and friends....

Looks vaguely like a sand castle? nah...it's a stadium!!!!

Jazzing it up to look more like a stadium of people watching football???

Druuummmmmm rooooolllll....tada!

Yeh yeh! SPURS!! My attempt at icing a cock, didn't seem to fly.....

The cake was the kids' contribution and tribute to papa's favourite team!

Not able to find a rooster pan, i decided to go for a really girly pan....and tada.....a rainbow hued chrysanthemum

Kids had tonnes of fun at Chalet G. There was a nice big field in front. They found coconuts and pretended to be marooned on a lost island, with only coconuts to survive on. The girls were more dainty and did sand art (as opposed to playing with real sand!). At night, other than being stung by mozzies, the kids snapped light sticks and looked for treasure in the dark.

Birthday Boy was rather pleased (I think?) to have a bash where he actually receives real presents (as vs useful presents only from the wife).

Birthday presents.....

Rafael's 3rd birthday was marked with another attempt to make lightning....this time the paint job was slightly better....but still smudgy! Thank goodness for a forgiving 3 year old, he still loved it!

Rafael also started his love affair with anything from Transformers. Watch as the plain agar transforms into Optimus Prime....

For Natalie's 5th Birthday....a carriage fit for a little princess....

Isabel's 8th Birthday

A collection...

These are some of the character agar agar I have done to date....(pls click on picture to enlarge)

Happy Moo Moo Year!

With the constant viewing of Playhouse Disney, Rafael has picked up some new year greetings in preparation for the CNY.

Me: "Rafael, Happy New Year!"

Rafael:" No, its Happy Moo Moo Year!"

Me:" No, Rafael, its Happy NEW Year!"

Rafael:"NOOOOooo, its Happy Moo Moo Year! Playhouse Disney!"

Looks like I got to explain to the old fogeys, why my son somehow cannot say Happy New Year this year....Long Hiatus again, been distracted with online shopping, bugging kids to do their homework, and the Dec hols.....with 2009, I hope to write a bit more...
