The holidays are around the corner, and it's time for me to think about the menus and ponder new ways to enhance traditional recipes. There are so many ideas and so little time in between so many tasks. I'm also testing out new recipes that I might add to my repertoire. One of the areas I'm working on is dessert, and my favorite, the cake. Recently, I decided to return to my joy for cakes by signing up for a class in cake decorating. I have always tinkered in the chemistry of turning out a cake from scratch, and have restricted my frosting skills to cupcakes for lack of confidence and time. Four hours into a hands-on class, I discovered the new world of homemade, flavored buttercream and frosting ideas. And the result is this white chocolate chiffon cake with macadamia nuts and mocha kahula buttercream frosting. I think I've found my calling. Maybe I should think of becoming a baker...

Baked a Chiffon Cake

You should make me a cake lah!
Oh my god, this sounds so yummy and looks so good! I want a piece leh! :P
I actually had the pleasure of tasting this cake today. Good thing I got in the breakroom early because it went fast. Words cannot adequately express the experience. Awesome!
A sampling of this cake was brought into work today and shared - here's my thank you note to the person who brought it in:

R####,
The cake was delicious (actually just "delicious" isn't quite accurate - it was one of the best cakes I've ever had - WOW!)! Thanks for sharing it! So the real question is, where did you get it? it really was great! (and I have 3 birthdays in my family over the next 4 weeks!)
Thanks again,
Mike
