NOT a food blog
(Part 2) – Continuation of Pretty Pui’s Surprise Party
I’ve always had a fascination for prettily decorated cupcakes. I’m not sure if it’s a girly thing because I’ve seen guys look gleefully at them before. Perhaps it’s the anticipation of bite-sized goodness in a gorgeously wrapped package.
I’ve tried loads of commercially produced cupcakes and felt that it was time for a change. So when I found out about Audrey and her delicious cupcakes, I sent her an email immediately. Her prompt reply accompanied by pictures of her works of art sealed the deal for me.
Since we had chosen a pink and white theme for Pretty Pui’s party at My Elephant, it was only apt to have cupcakes with the same colour theme. A couple of emails flew back and forth and we finally decided on a garden theme with pink and white flowers and bits of pastel blue to provide some contrast. I didn’t want it to be overly sweet, so I chose a dark chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. (For those who don’t care much for the bitter edge, there is a milk chocolate option that goes very well with chocolate frosting for a rich chocolate cupcake experience.)
With Christmas around the corner, now would be a great time to try Audrey’s cupcakes. You can reach Audrey at audreyCML@gmail.com.
Food, for me, is a means to an end and not an end in itself.
Food, for me, represents the love of family, the fellowship of friends, and the community and communality it brings.

Everyone has ability to change…
Is it so hard to say that next year you won’t send out Christmas cards or bake dozens of cookies?…
