Hi Cake Sweeties
My dear friend Cici just gave birth to a
beautiful baby girl last month. She is now out of confinement (Mandarin literally means “sitting out the month.” During the
first 30 days, mothers are expected to remain at homes and follow a complex set
of rules to care for themselves).
That also means Baby Chealsea is
officially one month old today… Hip Hip Hooray
Mummy asked me if I could make her some
macarons favors to express their gratitude to all their friends for their
support and well wishes their friends have shown them (In Chinese culture as I
previously stated when Miss E was one month old, a baby’s first month birthday
calls for a celebration. Traditionally, the parents hand out red-dyed eggs or
cakes, symbolising happiness and the renewal of life).
We chose three flavours with three designs
decorated with fondant. Inspired by Sweet Boo from Facebook.
The first flavour is hazelnut filled with
dark chocolate ganache and decorated as the little girl from Little Twin Stars.
The next flavour is lemon filled with lemon curd and decorated with a green bow
on top. The third flavour is vanilla tinted a bit pink food colouring, which is
filled with organic strawberry jam and decorated with Baby Chelsea’s initials
and hearts on the top to symbolise the headpiece she will be wearing when she
grows up.
What an intense few days but the result is
awesome.
