Longan Mousse Cake

Again, is another birthday and today is my brother's birthday.  Frankly, I was run out of ideas what to bake beside chocolate cakes.  I have been baking countless of chocolate cakes for my family members on their birthday since it is my children and nephews favourites.  But today i changed my mind and decided to bake something light and refreshing cake for my brother.  Feel a bit disappointed as the side of the cake did not coated well with the mousse cream but overall the cake taste good.  My brother and family loves it but not the kids, as it does not have their any chocolate beside the deco. :P

Rainbow Wheels

Biscuits and cookies are my son favourites.  He has been requested me to bake him cookies quite some time. But due to his prolong cough, i have rejected to his request.  After since he got a cough, he has been a good boy by trying hard not to take any sweet stuffs and drank plenty of fluid.  he never even complain of taking medicine when given.  As a mother, i feel hurt to see him suffer... so today, i broke the rule and baked this pretty colours, rainbow wheels to cheer him up.  His face brighten up and gave me a wide smile....humming away happily and enjoys his cookies.  My heart melts.... :P
