Feed me some beetles, please!

Alas, a scrumptious and abundant start to the New Year came knocking on my palates’ door in the form of a pack of vivid handmade beetles! If you’ve read my previous posting, I was highly recommending a dear friend’s baked creations for both its ingenuity and healthfulness. Just yesterday, I finally got my hands on 50 vivacious beetles all neatly stacked and packed!
My oh-so-colourful box of joy <3
My first taster of the soft yet spongy steamed beetle simply left me hankering for more. The texture of the steamed cake was nothing short of perfect, with a decent proportion of sweetness and velvetiness.
Who would resist?
Because I’m almost the world’s number 1 fan of Nutella, I vouch it by ordering a batch of 50 Nutella beetles. The Nutella beetles were not cloyingly sweet and the spurt of Nutella was just of the right amount – not too saccharine, not too heavy on the palate.
Soft, spongy texture
These bite-sized beetles will substitute all the unhealthier Chinese New Year goodies for me and I no longer have to feel all that guilty after all that snacking! The beetles are made with no butter, no margarine and no unnecessary fats and oils – almost the best chow for vain people like me!
Just the right amount of Nutella!
They also come in Kaya and Coconut flavours. 
Perfect gift/ pot luck item for any occasion!

Cutesy Cup of Joys

I admit that I’m no fan of cupcakes and anything cloyingly sugary, but I have to admit that I fell instantly in adoration of these cute little bites which are oh so very unique. Kudos to my talented friend who’s also the proud baker of these endearing indulgences! Not only are they pleasing to the eyes (I bet your grandma wouldn’t be able to resist them too), they’re also bite sized and wallet-friendly! What better combination can you think of?
Vibrant Beetles and Dotty cakes
The vibrant beetles are retailing at $25 for 50 pieces and they come in my favourite flavour of the century – NUTELLA (besides Kaya and Coconut, which I don’t doubt they’d be any less nicer than Nutella!) For the health freaks, fret not! These cute creations are steamed cakes and are spared from dense coats of oils and butters!
Mini ecstasies of flower power and popcorn surprises
Recommended for kids' birthday parties, family get-togethers, baby's 1st month celebration
