I wake up at 8am and out of the house by 830am to be at office by 9am. :D <br /><br />@Vicki: Wait..what i mean supper = after dinner. Cos i read in UK, supper = dinner. Yup, no heavy food after 930pm except fruits. I find it quite uncomfortable to sleep with a full tummy. It's more of a habit i think. <br /><br />@Monica: LOL! You made me laugh out so loudly! :) My reason for working is the same as yours!

I thought about using the microwave to do the sugar, but I chicken out!<br /><br />And thank you that I was part of the inspiration to get you moving and baking that late at night... Like Hanaa, I would neeever do that either! Deep down I'm so lazy its scary I get out of bed in the morning.... oh wait, its coming back ... the only reason i do that is so I can work and I can afford to buy pistachios!<br /><br />Your cake looks awesome even at the speed that you made it at.Monicahttp://www.sweetbitesblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691107354521190985.post-21213262427242543272010-03-16T05:53:51.298+08:002010-03-16T05:53:51.298+08:00Hello Faithy

WOW. Thanks for all the short cut tips, especially about blanching the nuts! If I ever make this cake, I will remember the microwave.

That's your secret for staying thin with all this baking?

Looks so beautiful. I wonder what time you have to get up to get to work - if you don't sleep until midnight over there.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691107354521190985.post-33020217826035902602010-03-16T01:27:28.390+08:002010-03-16T01:27:28.390+08:00Amazing decorations.
