The birthday kid's favourite colour is blue so the theme ocean was born. Think ocean one would think of undersea creatures.

French Baguette
It's been a long time since I last did a bread post !
These loaves were baked about 3 months ago. I used them as base for my crostini with prawn.
Recipe adapted from Don Yong's Bread Winners :
Ingredients :
500g Bread flour
7g Bread Improver *
7g Instand dry yeast
10g Salt
330g Cold water
With an electric mixet and dough hook at low speed, blend the dry imgredients together for about 1 min. Add water & mix on low speed for another min. Increase to medium speed & mix for 12 mins until dough is fully developed.
Transfer the dough onto a flour-dusted work surface & round up dough with both hands. Place the dough into an airtight container & let it rise in a warm place for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs until the dough is double in bulk.
Divide the dough into 4pcs, each weighing 200g. Round up the dough & leave for 15mins. Mould each dough pc into a cylindrical shape 30cm long. Do this by flattening the dough with a rolling pin & then rolling the dough tightly from one end downwards, making certain that the seam is properly sealed.
Transfer the dough pcs onto a lightly greased, perforated tray & prove in awarm place for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. When the dough is ready, make 3 diagonal cuts on the surface of each dough pc, using a sharp knife. Space the cuts 10cm apart.
Preheat oven to 230C. Bake with a tray of water to generate steam for the first 10 mins of the baking time. Open the door of the oven & remove any wtaer remaining. Continue to bake for about 10 mins or until the bread is golden brown.
* I omitted the bread improver, as usual.

Football Fever (Worldcup 2010)
Gin's hubby is a great fan of Spain football team. His birthday falls in June & it coincides the World Cup this year. She was cracking her head on what cake design for his birthday cake & decided on football. We made fondant footballs for cupcakes & D made a jersey to be placed on the cake. Her hubby was so thrilled, glad that we were able to meet their expectations !!
Another Spain supporter ! For this 'cartoon' football player, what we could do was just the red-orangey jersey similar to the team colour & a fondant football next to him.

Cupcakes With Kimono Design
President Cake
Every year, when end of May is approaching, I'll be cracking my head what cake to bake for hubby's birthday. To me, it has to be special, as in it'll not be one of the cake on my list. So that's a 'headache' & challenge !
Berries has been on my mind lately, especially raspberry. So the cake this year has to include raspberry. Last year, he had the L'Opera.
I've been drooling at Pook's wonderful cake recipes that she posted on her blog. She has one President Cake, which is a cream cheese mousse cake with raspberry layer. It looked so beautiful & yummy that I've always wanted to try making it.
It was a real winner, hubby & the girls liked it. A very healthy cake, with lesser sugar & fat.
The full recipe & instructions can be found at Pook's Daily Delicious.
