As we shall be celebrating our 3rd anniversary this coming September 26, I would like to flash back some of the photos that we have taken during the celebration of last year's 2nd anniversary.

Brunei's Best Cream Puff
"Brunei's best cream puff" - This was the comment by a famous DJ on her FB page recently. I felt honored to get such a comment really. Thanks to her, our daily production on our cream puffs have since then been increased by at least 30%. Whether or not it's the best, I guess it's for you to find out.
Our hot-selling cream puffs come in 2 flavors ie. plain and chocolate toppings. We have introduced a new flavor (Fresh mango puff) last week and it's gradually becoming popular too.

Swiss roulades
This is definitely no ordinary roll cakes. The fillings are a combination of three flavors ie. melted chocolate ganache, custard and light amount of shredded cheddar cheese. The roll cake itself is covered with light vanilla cream sprinkled with cocoa powder and strawberry toppings.
Price: $1.80 per piece.

Do you know her?
I was browsing through some of the photos uploaded by Tiger Lim in Flickr the other night and I came across a very familiar looking elderly woman (see below). At a closer look of the photo, I remember who she is. I don't know her name but people used to, or still calling her the "$1.00 lady".
I grew up in Seria town and I remember seeing her begging for money almost every time I had my $1.50 kolomee at the popular mee stall. The thing is she would only ask for $1.00. Nothing more than that even if you want to give her extra. I don't know much about her background but after more than 20 years, she is still carrying on with her daily "routine".
This photo touches me in a way. It makes me realise how lucky we are to be where and who we are now . Life is full of ups and downs and there are times when you feel like the world is going against you but one thing I know for sure, every obstacle in life is a learning path that leads us to a better place and we grow smarter and stronger from there.
Cream cheese roll
If you like our swiss roll, I bet you'd like our latest creations "Cream cheese roll" too. The fillings in the middle of the roll is made of premium vanilla cream folded with cream cheese and the same cream is used for the toppings as well. Each roll is selling at $6.50 which comes with a transparent cover and assorted designs. You may even have the cake customised to the design you like. T&C applies.
Each roll is 4" in length

Fresh Fruit Vanilla
When we had a 30% discount promotion on this cake 2 years ago in celebration of Mother's Day we received quite a number of orders which we had to work through sleepless nights just to complete the vanilla sponge. Since then, our fresh fruit vanilla becomes the signature cake of Mr.Baker and the most ordered cake particularly during special occasions.
It is essentially made up of 4 layers of light vanilla sponge sandwiched with generous amount of diced fresh fruits and folded with special made cream. What you see from the above picture there is what you would actually get (I am referring to the amount of fruit toppings). If you want to know how a sponge cake would taste like without the addition of any stabiliser/emulsifier, have a try today of our fresh fruit vanilla and I am sure the answer is apparent.

This post is dedicated specially to my beloved wife
Earlier this morning, I posted a comment in our FB page that I came across a gift which I gave my wife 13 years ago while doing my Sunday house chores. Well, here comes the same old saying, time really flies, as me and my wife had just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last month.
Do you agree that we tend to do things that we don't normally do when we are in love and of course I am of no exception as I am a human being too. Here the story goes... About 13 years ago, when I was back in Brunei after my graduation while my wife (girl friend then) was still in Australia doing her final year in Music, I used to spend almost half of my salary on overseas telephone calls every month which lasted for about 8 months. There was no such things as Skype or Facetime during then hence telephone was probably the only easiest way for voice conversation.
Today when I was cleaning the study room, I found the cassette tape that I gave to her about 13 years ago. The tape contained some of my favorite love songs then and it was sent all the way from Brunei to Perth as a gift. I have tried to play the tape on my mini hi-fi, sadly the sound quality was quite bad. Guess what, I even wrote a love story by connecting the titles of all the songs recorded in the cassette. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find the 'letter' anywhere or else I would have shown it to my kids or even post it here :)

BruneiTweet
G'day mate! I had the opportunity to meet up with Delwin today at the International Wedding Expo held in the ICC. Needless to mention further, everyone knows he is the person behind the famous twitter, BruneiTweet, who currently holds the record of the "most followed twitter" in the country. Anyway, if you want to know more about him you may visit his website at www.projekbrunei.com

A mindful thought
No matter how busy you are during the day, do remember there are your loved ones waiting eagerly for you to come home just to have dinner with them. They don't need ice cream or chocolates but rather all they want is your companion. A simple calling of "papa" could mean so much and I am glad it's still not too late for me to realise it. Ever ponder when was the last time you ever had an outing with your family? So folks, be grateful of what you have now and spend more quality time with the people you love most.

Love it
Photo taken in a well known shopping heaven in Singapore. These miniature collections come in many sets and if you plan to collect them all, be prepared to spend hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars. Too bad, this one here is not for sale.
