I had 3 almost rotten bananas, so instead of throwing them away, I made the banana cake from Rose's Heavenly Cakes' page 391 re Tropical Wedding Cake. I made them into cupcakes..and they yield about 20 muffin cups. Ran out of time and ended up making normal cream cheese frosting.
After baking this, i realised that there's another banana cake recipe - refrigerated banana cake in the book that i haven't not made it yet! I should have made that instead. Nonetheless, this banana cake is amazing. It's very dense, light crumbs and extremely moist. Everyone in my family loves it.
Lately, i find it harder to blog, i made some cupcakes and cakes but was just too lazy to blog. Also seems like recently i have a lot of things going on at the same time..like i'm constantly pressed for time but yet i have no idea what i'm that occupied with either! It's either a sign that i'm aging and can't muti-task as fast as i used to or just bad time management. As a typical Singaporean, i always expect things to be done asap...so that i can have more time to move on to other things... Hence i was wondering if it is because of this, i found it impossible to enjoy the dinner i had last Friday at a supposedly well-known restaurant called Waku Ghin. A family friend invited us there and i had no idea it was a popular restaurant and impossible to get a reservation too..apparently i heard you have to book months in advance! The 10-course dinner took about 3-hours and i wanted fall asleep half way through the dinner. Food was good and above average but certainly not worth the $ that our family friend had to pay...6 of us cost $3,200 or there about. With that amount of $, i would rather buy a branded bag and hug it to sleep. I could even buy 2 pairs of Jimmy Choos or Christian Louboutins or Manolo Blahniks. But since i'm not the one paying for it, i shouldn't complain too much but be appreciative for this opportunity to fine dining. :p

Beautiful frosting!
Great use of bananas!
faithy the cupcakes are so pretty!!!
$3,200 for dinner, WOW!! Even for 6 people that is like WOW!! I guess if someone has the money and wishes to pay for it then I tell them go right ahead!! But boy I don't know if I could even if I had the money!! GOSH!!
That was a very expensive dinner! OMG.
Your cupcakes look delicious and the way you frost them so cute!
Thanks ladies!
@Carsedra & Kathia: Know what? I've just been told that that is normal price for fine-dining per head about $400-500. *shrugs*.. i guess that shows how little i know about fine-dining..and to me too, it's just way too expensive for dinner!

I am also finding hard to blog lately.
"Why is the last mile the hardest mile?"
Hi Faithy... i feel the same way too sometimes.. my desire to blog and write goes up and down a bit! I found that taking a nice break from it refreshed me...
Hilarious also that I just used up 3 rotten bananas last night to make a banana chocolate chip cake... !
