Happy 4th Birthday !

11 July 2012

The kid is 4 years old ! Before one knows it, he'll be a teenager already.

Eugene's class did the Dinosaur theme and now the Olympic theme for their school term.

And I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate the themes for his birthday cookies to be given to his class-mates.

I managed to find online, Yoke Bakery, who have this 2 themes.

The colours were very striking  and guess what .............

ok, I don't bake cookies and I don't know anything about colourings, icing etc. .... well, what happened was this.

The kid came to me to wipe his mouth after eating the cookies. I turned around and his teeth and mouth were all black ! OMG ! What happened ! But he looked perfectly fine and then I realised that it was from the dinosaur cookies which were a very dark purple. Then when he ate the Singapore flag, his mouth turned red !  But the colours washed off when the kid rinsed his mouth.

Then the next shocker. He need to poo and his poo was bright green. It was so weird coloured like some alien green poo ! lol !

Well, apparently it was the coloured icings.

I called up Yoke Bakery and informed them that they should advised customers of the colouring stains cos it can be very shocking to see it.

It can be quite funny on a kid but I don't think it will be funny on an adult especially if you're at a function eating it.

But the cookies are really very delicious and buttery though.

Yoke Bakery gives complimentary gift tags which I thought was really great.

You might be thinking. Hmm... what kind of a cake is that ? Such an unusual shape.

Would you believe that that's a Japanese Cotton Cheesecake.

I had baked Japanese Cheesecake before quite successfully but I thought I'll try out this blogger's recipe as I want it to be 100% great.

As you can see, it failed oh so miserably. I guess I'll stick to the recipe from "Alex Goh".

But on a bright side, Eugene liked it - he thought it resembled a volcano :)

Happy Birthday Eugene !
