		<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>

		<title>Pineapple and coconut crunch cake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Dear all, since the last time I wrote about cake decorating, my piping skills still suck so bad it could frighten small children. But! *cymbal clash!* I have found a solution to my dismal handicap. And it&#8217;s really quite simple.
Don&#8217;t know how to pipe? Don&#8217;t pipe!
There are other types of cakes in this world that don&#8217;t need [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=843&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Easy cream puffs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The other day, I was at the Malay stall in my office canteen when I saw something that made me snigger in the way movie villains do &#8212; with eyes squinted to a slit as I smiled a slow, evil smile.
But first, a bit of background. This Malay stall has been the reason that I&#8217;m known to be a bit of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=824&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A not-so Happy Birthday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I could lie and say that the above is a fancy update of roti prata, but I won&#8217;t. In truth, it&#8217;s a no good piece-of-crap choux pastry I ended up making for my husband Z&#8217;s birthday last month.
Ever heard of Paris-Brest? It&#8217;s a French pastry in a shape of a wheel that was created in 1891 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=793&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pear Tart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Something very disturbing is happening. The other day, I had nothing to blog about and mused aloud to my husband Z that I might stop blogging altogether.
He didn&#8217;t toss back his usual tart reply, which used to always sound something like, &#8220;Wow? Really? And I get back my wife?&#8221;.  Instead, his eyes were the size of saucers. A look of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=crummb.wordpress.com&blog=3730963&post=776&subd=crummb&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
