That's dedication. They look fantastic.<br /><br />I always wondered how you managed to make all those 'Heavenly' cakes in the heat and humidity. It's certainly more challenging.<br />CatherineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113118423277176336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691107354521190985.post-68603942942216289072014-12-02T23:43:15.208+08:002014-12-02T23:43:15.208+08:00Great Post!

Yup..i found out the hard way that Japanese flour is a huge no-no when making laminated pastries! :D I wish we had winter here so it's not so hot always and I get a chance to wear winter wear too..lol! The good side of such tropical weather is we can wear the same kind clothings for year round. <br /><br />@Jenn: I didn't wear a sweater, cos our room temp is usually 28-29c and often humid.. I just needed to walk out of the cold kitchen to 'defrost' and go back in again. We often just wear t-shirts/singlets and shorts around the house.<br /><br />Faithyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389566076963800125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691107354521190985.post-30545326825565345982014-12-02T09:44:59.370+08:002014-12-02T09:44:59.370+08:00ב''ה
