		<title>Kinako chiffon cake with red bean whipped cream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is shaping up to be a sucky Christmas.
For the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve been put on a low-carb, high-fibre, no-joy diet because I&#8217;ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes &#8212; a (hopefully) temporary condition that afflicts pregnant women on the wrong side of 35. (Nawww, really? You always thought I was 28? Gee, thanks!)
I feel like blaming [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=1085&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A&amp;R&#8217;s Tiffany blue wedding cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s the thing about making wedding cakes. Baking and decorating a 9/7/5-inch three-tier is like tackling Mount Everest right there at your kitchen table. But once it&#8217;s conquered and displayed at a big venue, it can suddenly shrink into a blink-and-you-miss backside pimple.
Case in point: the cake I made for my cousin Ricky&#8217;s wedding last week. The venue was One 15 Marina Club in Sentosa [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=1043&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cheesecake pops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit. When I first learnt I was pregnant earlier this year, I sent a few upward missives that went: &#8220;Lord, please give me a son this time round.&#8221; My firstborn E is a girl, so out of the purely selfish reason of wanting one of each, I wanted my second to be a boy.
Just think of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=975&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lollipop Garden Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For my daughter E&#8217;s first birthday last year, I came up with the idea of making a mini bundt cake tower. For one whole year since then, I&#8217;d had this question niggling at the back of my head: What clever cake can I come up with next year?
In the end, her 2nd birthday came last week and I found [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=969&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Earl Grey Pound Cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ever since I started this blog over a year ago, I&#8217;ve received lovely comments about how my posts are down-to-earth, unpretentious and self-deprecating.
Well, this is not one of those posts.
Today, I&#8217;m going to brag about what an utter genius I am for coming up with this most astounding of butter cakes, the Earl Grey Pound Cake. And [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=955&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dad&#8217;s 80th birthday cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I made a two-tier cake for my dad&#8217;s 80th birthday last month. But this post isn&#8217;t about how much he loved it (which I&#8217;m sure he did, even though crusty, conservative Teochew men like him don&#8217;t often express their feelings), or how much my relatives loved it, or how my 23-month-old daughter E wolfed down an entire slice all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=927&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Worst TV Host On Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I watch TV these days, I am confronted with a slew of urgent, sobering questions: &#8216;When will the economy pick up?&#8217;, &#8216;Why so many natural disasters?&#8217;, &#8216;Can climate change be stopped?&#8217;.
But perhaps the most disturbing of all, &#8216;Why the heck is Bobby Chinn hosting a TV show?&#8217;
Every time I see his trailer on Discovery Channel, I ask myself: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=908&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Best Show On TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As it is with many foodies, Discovery&#8217;s Travel &#38; Living is the centre of my universe.
It&#8217;s pretty much the only channel I watch, and I only hop out of it for cursory glimpses of the outside world during commercial breaks (or when that nauseating Bobby Chinn comes on).
Recently, I kept seeing this trailer for a new show called [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=890&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Mummy Returns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look who&#8217;s baaaaaaaaaack&#8230;
I&#8217;ve gone AWOL for a very long three months but it&#8217;s not without good reason, folks.
1. I was renovating! Yup. Changed the floors, hacked a wall, relined a bathroom, overhauled my entire kitchen and installed a brand spankin&#8217; new oven which is bigger and meaner! But&#8230;
2. I lost my camera. So I can&#8217;t take [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=886&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>W&amp;A&#8217;s confetti wedding cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This is what I&#8217;ve learnt from making the cake for my cousin Ambrose&#8217;s wedding last month. No matter what you wear or how stylishly you&#8217;re turned out, a wedding cake maker will only emerge from the occasion looking like a drenched chicken.
This is what happened.
Ambrose and his adorable wife, Wendy, had wanted a really pretty, romantic [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=869&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
