Fruity Christmas Log Cake



Christmas season is here again. This is the season where we remember God's precious gift to us - Jesus Christ, our saviour, Prince of Peace. It's a season filled with love, warmth, joy and hope.

When it's January, I look forward to December. It's the time when the kids have finished their exams and holidays begins. no more stress from school. A time for travelling and relaxation. A time for nice cool weather to enjoy outdoor activities, if it's not raining. A time to find reasons to shop and feast. A time to bake for family and friends. Lovely season, but it's gonna end soon and a new year begins .... 

This time round, I decided not to bake the usual log cake that I've been baking the past few years. I wanted something different, light and fruity (healthier I guess)  for my cell group Christmas party. Thus I settled on a light genoise sponge cake sprinkled with rum-flavoured syrup, frosted with vanilla fresh cream and filled and decorated with lots of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I'm so glad that my cell group members love it.




Pierre Herme Viennese Chocolate Sables



It's Christmas season again ..... Time to bake some cookies as gifts for friends. Let's go for one of the recipes in Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Herme's book - Viennese Chocolate Sables. Everyone (or I would say majority)  loves chocolate. Furthermore, I have leftover egg whites in the fridge. Don't waste them. And this recipe uses egg whites only. What a good timing .....
