My little Angel's Birthday

Shannea is 2!!!







There are 2 important persons in my life who were born in the month of July. My little darling Shannea is 2 years old on the 16th and hubby's birthday is on the 21st.

Helen gave me 4 trays of fresh blue berries, more than enough to make this blueberry cheese cake. My husband always asks why I don't make a "normal" looking cake. So I must comply to his request on his birthday. I cooked the blueberry into syrup and added some gelatin to help it set on the top of baked and chilled cheese cake.




Although I'm quite happy with the look of the cake, I must practise more using chocolate to pipe wordings. It is quite tough coz I let the moist get into the melted chocolate and it became hard for piping. I discarded 1/2 packet of the white chocolate to get these result. The names are barely readable. They kinda ruin the cake, my hubby says... Also the wordings are too big. Wanted to write "Shannea 2, + Daddy" but ended up "Shannea 2 Daddy" humm...



I make the cake with "LOVE" and here I wish them "Happy Birthday".

Oh, I also have some extra cream cheese to make these beautiful blueberry cheese tart.

Taste delicious of course! Forgive that I'm being Hau Nein! This is one of my signature cheese cake which i think you should have tried it before. I use strawberry topping instead!

Hi there, it looks really good. Maybe you can choose a smaller tip? But most importantly, it is made with love; that's the secret ingredient.

Hi Rei,

Thx 4 yr advice! I "cheap bo" didn't want to use plastic pipping bag, used grease paper instead, so kinda messy! Must improve next time. :)
