Pikachu Cake

Around this time every year, it’s like a kids cakes showcase here, thanks for my kids birthday! And I know I’ve said it before, but it’s true. It’s true that once you become a mother, you lose your mind. You will do all kinds of crazy things for your kids. I still remember how obsessive I used to be about my kids poop. It’s like I wake up starting to think about it, and I can’t go to sleep also because of it!

Halloween Monster Cake

This year was my kids’ first time having their birthday party with their friends. We used to celebrate their birthday with our family.

Easy Cherry Puff Pastry Tart

Cherries are one of the fruits that we’ve had way too many this summer. They were incredibly sweet, juicy and cheap this season. Right after we bought a pound or so, we would get another pound from a friend who came over for dinner, then another pound from my mother-in-law who has a crave to fill up my refrigerator no matter how full it already is! Quiet often we had loads of cherries at home. And it’s simply too crude to watch them ripen and get moldy.
