Cherry Cheesecake

This is another winner from Nigella Lawson.  She is a true domestic goddess - I just love her and her fuss-free ways!  Recipes like this are especially welcomed to satisfy the baking addiction on a weekday.  I timed myself, and it only took me less than 30 minutes to whip this up (excluding the time I scrambled around the kitchen looking for the ingredients, and the freezing time of course).

Durian in the news

The infamous durian recently caused a false alarm in Sydney when its pungent smell was mistaken for a gas leak :) Read more here.

In celebration of our nation's beloved fruit, I have baked several fresh durian cream cake for friends and family over the last few weeks. 

The duck pond cake was for my niece's full moon party.  Don't be fooled by the innocent looking pond, for there is an explosive amount of very pungent durian cream lurking beneath :)

Heavenly Lemon Cloud Cheesecake

This was a recent request made by my sis-in-law, who recently gave birth to a gorgeous little baby girl, Iris.

Apparently, cheesecake aids in the production of breast milk... I bet you didn't know that ! We learn something new each day...
