Tutorial • How to decorate hidden surprise cake

Alright, so you are probably at this blog post because you read my Condensed Milk Buttercream recipe (*'▽'*)♪ and you knew I did not bake the cake from scratch! Haha!
Of course, you may use your preferred cake of choice. I used store-bought mini chiffon cake. And may I clarify, I am not a professional at baking. I am sharing a method that worked well for me and hope you'll benefit from this sharing. (｡’▽’｡)♡

 Ingredients:
Chiffon Cake or a round cake
(extra cake to cover the hole if using chiffon cake)
Buttercream
M&M chocolates
Colourful Sprinkles (Note 1)
Fruits (I used strawberries & blueberries)

Tools:
Round cutter
Knife
Palette Knife/Silicone Spatula
Spoon

Method:
•Slice both the chiffon cakes into 2 layers.
•Use a round cutter, the size slightly bigger than the hole of chiffon cake, cut out a circle. Place this piece of cake into the hole of the base cake.
•Spread buttercream on the top of the base cake, place the top layer of cake.
•Combine sufficient amount of M&Ms and sprinkles, fill the centre of chiffon cake to the brim. You may use another circle cut-out of cake to cover the hole.

•Spread buttercream all over the cake.
•Decorate with berries and more sprinkles.
There you go, a cake with hidden surprise!


Note
(1) I used "Birthday Surprise" sprinkle mix from  @HappySparkles.SG on Instagram.

Recipe • The Very Versatile Anchovy Soup Stock!

Image
I cook chinese style vegetable soup pretty often. It's a good way to increase the kids' vegetables intake and convenient for days when I only whip up a soup and meat dish. Most importantly, the boys love drinking their soup when it's cooked with this stock! This stock is suitable for many types of Chinese soup, example: Chinese Spinach meatballs/fishballs soup Wolfberry Leaves egg drop soup Yong Tau Foo soup Cabbage soup Shrimp-Pork dumplings soup Winter Melon soup & Cai Xin or Xiao Bai Cai soup too! I often get queries on what is the soup base when I post photos of such soup, so I think it's high time I give this delicious and versatile soup base its own space in this blog! Also, I hope my own kids will get to follow this recipe here and cook their favorite "mummy's soup" in future and be able to reminisce the taste of their childhood!
