Move Over Strawberry Shortcake, it's TRIPLE BERRY SHORTCAKE

Move over strawberry shortcake, it's Triple berry shortcake.

I was thinking what to make this time...and I thought of strawberry shortcake.

but hey, why choose only strawberry when you can add more berries??

so here it is. Strawberries, Raspberries and blackberries. 

Chopped raspberries & blackberries. filled with freshly whipped whipped cream,  strawberry cupcake, then added more chopped raspberries & blackberries & strawberries

and top it off with whipped cream AND garnish with half strawberry.

I really like the color here. and I LOVE FRUITS!!

Red Velvet Cupcakes...AGAIN!

Yes, It's Red Velvet Cupcake AGAIN.
I know I know. Next time, I'll make something different.
Perhaps....key lime pie? *hint hint* Or... tres leches cake?
I actually made this for Youna because she has been craving for red velvet and for some odd reason, she had no luck with it. so..............here you go missy!

Special Thanks to ReeJae for making this so pretty

Hazelnut Tiramisu Cake

 

With lots of feedbacks from wonderful people, I remade tiramisu.

This time, I used hazelnut coffee with hazelnut-chocolate sauce in the middle.

Also, I added more Kaluha and more soaked more coffee syrup in the cakes. 

Lastly, Yes- better decoration with organic rasberries!

I can feel & see my progress, 

oh JOY!!!!!
