happy place, happy space: Artistic Bake

I love cake. I love pineapple. And because we are still celebrating the Chinese New Year (until 26 February), I was favoured with a delightfully light, fruity Pineapple Chiffon Cake, with handmade pineapple “flowers”. An artistic bake.

Delicious artistry gifted by Baking Maestro Friend, who also is one of the persons responsible for our favourite Banh Mi style sandwich shops, Rebel Gurl.
