Bake Off @ House  


Our little group of participants...we pretty much demoninated one portion :)

The Bake Off @ House took place yesterday. We arrived there bright and early at 10am. Can I just say that it's the earliest I have gotten up on a Sunday in ages! (8am!) 


My cupcake (made my friends pose with me)


Closeup

I entered my carrot cake with green tea icing for the competition. Very simple entry when compared to the other things on offer. But I was stretched way too thin this weekend with the photoshoot , that was all the time I could spare. 

It felt good though because firstly….FJ won!! Secondly, the cakes were sold off after that to charity.


FJ WON!!! ($375 spa voucher, $125 dining voucher)


Her entries

 

We didn't raise much in the end because the bake sale for charity was in one of the private rooms at House, and the public traffic was not very high unfortunately. 


Yvonne with her Pandan Cake


Choy with her Coconut cupcake with lime curd and meringue topping

The other entries













Thanks to Debs,

[info]crankymike,  [info]vamprilaand the rest of our friends for coming down to the event…it was greatly appreciated. 

 

Now...we were meant to get a participation goodie bag...I have emailed the organisers to check up on that :)


Well done FJ, Yvonne and Choy!  It was their first baking competition...:)  Everything looked really pro!
