Cakes for friends

During 1 of the dinners I have with my friends, they asked if I am keen to do some cakes for them. It seemed like Feb is a month for birthdays. Bee Leng alone wanted 3 cakes as herself, her husband and her son all celebrate their birthdays in Feb. Lisha's husband also celebrate his birthday in Feb too.

After some chatting, I was convinced by them to make the cakes for their family. Here are the cakes that I have made for them.



Vanilla Baked Cheesecake for Bee Leng's Hubby
Summer berries creme brulee tart for her son.


Strawberry mousse cake for Lisha's hubby

Rich Chocolate cake for Bee Leng

Interested in any of them? Or you have any cakes that you crave for? Let me know and I will make 1 for you :P
