Cake, cake & cake ?

Today is my little nephew one year old birthday. The little boy has grow up already. His birthday is just one day different from his aunty's birthday. I remembered all my 3 nephews birthday, cos the dates are easy to remember. I have only seen my little nephew once and that was when he was still a little baby, at the age of 2 months old (during my previous trip to Bintulu in November last year). I really wonder how he looks like now. Kids really grow up fast.

Well, we can't separate birthday celebrations from cakes. These are some of the cakes I had yesterday :) The Black Forest Cake & Walnut Cake. It's something sinful, but it's xin fu/hang fook (幸福) to indulge in these once in a while, right? It all depends on how you view things, or is this what we called as... playing with words ???

Black Forest Cake

I still prefer the "original" black forest cake which I had in Lake Titisee (nearby Black Forest) in Germany few years back. I was sua ku previously.. Never knew the existence of a real place called Black Forest till I visited Germany :D

Walnut Cake

Nowadays, cakes may not longer contain the sponge cake element.

some are ice cream, some are agar, and some just cream
