The agreement was that i would make my signature osmanthus jelly (with red dates & Chinese wolfberries) cake for mom's birthday this year as she's not exactly a cake person.
However, a box of sliced cakes from The Pine Garden appeared that night; darn, all the time and effort i spent in making the jelly could have been avoided but its' okay since mom can never say no to my healthy osmanthus jelly.
Such a hearty laugh from her because we found out she was the one who insisted on purchasing the cakes! Unlike my mom, Jovyn is the direct opposite when it comes to cakes although she's fixated only on a few types; in this case, cream cakes with chocolate rice.
Let the singing begin!
Mom making her wish and blowing out the candles on the cakes (plural as there were technically more than two with each slice counting as one). Knowing my mom pretty well, she would likely wish for good health for everyone in the family and for herself; the luck to win more in lottery.
Taking photographs with the family! As the designated photographer, i am seldom in the pictures, which isn't much of an issue with me as i am camera-shy! Haha.
Obviously there's no question about the goodness of my osmanthus jelly cake; for those from The Pine Garden, i enjoyed their lychee martini and pandan coconut!
Happy birthday once again, Mom!
再次祝你生日快乐！
