Here is my creation! The pictures are not very well taken as my camera is dying.
Baking the cake is easy, making the fudge and trying to maintain the right consistency to spread onto the cake needs a little effort. Next attempt, BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Verdict from testers... the cake is not sweet and fudge has just a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness.

Biscuits, jellies and etc.
Baked some biscuits (American version of scones) on friday. The first batch I added garlic powder. I did't like it because of the garlicky after-taste. So for the second batch, I did not add the garlic powder. They tasted much better. Well, at least to my liking. Speaking of baking, I finally managed to get a chance to use my Matfer Exopat baking mat that I got my hubby to buy, during one of his work trips to France. This mat is a great kitchen tool. Bakes well and everything comes off easily after baking.
I also baked some blueberry muffin but not the usual way. Added sour cream to the recipe and baked it in a 9" square pan. I pour only a little mixture to make a 1" thick cake. Once cooled, I slice it into two pieces, spread some jam, put the two pieces together like a sandwich. Then I cut into smaller bite-size pieces. As usual, my no. 1 fan... Aloysius, could not stop eating it. Hubby (who is not a big fan of muffin and cakes) said it was nice. Ashley preferred the biscuits. The texture is lighter than a regular muffin. No pictures as I forgot to take.
Made konnyaku jellies today. Its easy to make and taste great too. Again, no pictures as my camera is not functioning propoerly. If the camera decides to cooperate tomorrow, I will take some pictures.
I have plans to bake chocolate fudge cake and make another batch of jellies tomorrow but then again... it depends if I am in the mood when I wake up tomorrow.. hehehe. Stay tuned.
