It feels just like another day, another wonderful day of the weekend… But I wanted to also make sure he felt extra special.
So dragged my sleepy self out of bed this morning, and made gluten-free chocolate cake topped with almonds; his 1st birthday cake from me!
Then brought him to Hediard for a nice Parisian lunch. We hardly go for fancy meals, so this really delighted our taste-buds.
Then we scooted over to Tanglin Mall (one of my fav. cos’ it’s so much quieter!) and window-shopped. Recalled our past dates over there, and monkey-ed around:
Bought some groceries, and decided to head home since my flu med was kicking in…and so I napped while he played his new computer game. He couldn’t be happier.
Upon his request, made pasta for dinner:
And we topped it off with another slice each of his birthday cake:
It’s going to be another awesome year for him, I’m sure!

Happy birthday to Bren! 🙂 His cake and spaghetti dinner look so good!
Yes, the cake and pasta were really satisfying! Love cooking for him. ;P
Happy Belated Birthday to Bren! 🙂
The gluten free choc cake looks amazing – would you mind posting up the recipe one of these days?
Haha, I wouldn’t mind at all, except it’s super easy cos’ I used a gluten-free choc mix! Had to play safe and make sure the birthday cake was edible. 😉
Anyway, here’s the recipe for the icing:
1. Place 2 cups (300g) sifted icing sugar in bowl with 1/3 cup (40g) sifted cocoa powder + 3 tbsp boiling water.
2. Stir till it’s smooth.
3. Spread icing over chilled cake.
Have just posted a recipe of yummy bruschettas though! Hope it’s useful too. ;P
If I come across good and easy gluten-free choc cakes, I’ll try it and update again!
