4 - Build-a-Bear Workshop
Friday is here. Yay!! We decided to spend it by first taking our 4 year old swimming, and then in the mall. :)
There, our man saw the Build - a - Bear workshop and wanted one ( ok,I confess, mommy wanted one more :p) . Anyway, once he was inside, he was pretty excited to choose his bear, fill it, and dress it up. He chose an Arab horse ( so it was called; looks just like any other horse to me ) . The lady there was so nice helping him fill the horse up and put "spells" on the little heart that goes inside.

Look at how much fun he had brushing its hair :)
He didnt take too much time deciding its dress though- he'd found the perfect Harley Davidson tee shirt for it (typical boy!) .
Oh, and they also made him hold his hand up and make a Bear Promise. Now, he actually believes Chocolate is his best friend and hasn't really put him down ever since.
I read a book to both of them and they are now both fast asleep . <3<3

2 - Eggless Banana Cake and Cupcakes with Vanilla frosting
Hubby's birthday Part 2 :)
This is the banana cake I baked with vanilla frosting and coloured sprinkles to top.
I have to say these didnt come out as spongy as I expected them to be, but they were tasty...I need to perfect the eggless variety more. Any volunteers for tasting? :)

And with the leftover dough, I made these cute little cupcakes.

1 - Yumm Tres Leche Cake
So my first post starts with my hubby's birthday! Thats a great beginning!!
This day was baking galore for me, making 2 different kinds of cakes. The first one was this absolutely heavenly Tres Leche cake. I had tasted this in the US, and wanted to try making it myself. I was just waiting for the right occasion. Since the birthday boy loves anything and everything with condensed milk on it, this was the perfect birthday cake for him!
It was an instant hit!

And this is how it looks on the inside... look at how spongy, yet juicy it is :)
