Afternoon Tea @ Sheraton Imperial KL

Pavilions Lounge in Sheraton Imperial KL have recently refreshed their afternoon tea offerings and we were invited there to check it out. Guests can now indulge in the Classic Afternoon Tea Set, featuring a 3-tier cake stand as well as a small selection of cakes, savouries and chocolate fountain from the buffet spread, along with a wide selection of premium TWG Tea or freshly brewed coffee.



Complimented with an elegant setting and a pianist playing in the background, Pavilions Lounge makes a nice, cosy spot for afternoon tea. You can choose from a wide range of TWG premium tea; I went for the Magic Flute Tea which had a lovely fruity note, while Hubby had the Grand Wedding Tea, a black tea blended with sunflowers and exotic fruits.





The three-tier stand was served to our table soon after we were seated. There were freshly baked raisin and plain scones, served with clotted cream as well as three types of sandwiches such as open-face sandwich with Scottish salmon and creme fraiche on rye bread, smoked turkey and gem lettuce mini wrap with fresh pineapple and egg white salad sandwich.On the third layer, there were desserts such as lemon curd tartlet, raspberry tartlet and macarons.






Once you have finished your three-tier cake stand, you can also check out the unlimited dessert spread which includes savouries (quiche Lorraine, chicken pot pie, risotto vegetable ball), cakes and pastries, assorted candy, chocolate fountain and homemade cookies.

Cute Easter Chick Crafts for Kids

In the run up to Easter every year, our family has lots of fun making Easter crafts, hot cross buns as well as egg decorating. One of the crafts that we made this year are these cute chicks. They're easy to make and look bright and cheery!



Aren't they adorable?


Watch this video for step-by-step instructions on how to make these Easter chicks (full screen here)

Instructions:

1. Using the scissors, cut each toilet roll tube into 3 sections - they should measure approximately 3.5cm wide.



2. Wrap each tube section with the yellow tape.

3. Using the black market pen, draw the eyes (you can draw on eyelashes for girly chicks). Draw the beak using the red marker pen.




4. Take 1 feather and cut off about 4cm, and stick on the back for the tail. Stick the remaining feather through the tube, secure using either double sided tape or craft glue.

5. Break each ice cream stick into two. Draw on the claws using the black marker pen. Stick under the chick for its feet.

BB8 Cake


Well, my son turned seven last week.  I don't know why this birthday seemed so significant to me... seven sounds so old!!  This means eight years ago, I was nearly pregnant with him (I'm good at math).  Which means I've been a mother for almost a decade.  WHICH MEANS I'M ALMOST 40!  Ok, it doesn't really mean that, but seven does sound old, right?  He had a Star Wars-themed party this weekend with some buddies (at one of those places where hundreds of kids bounce around together and share puke germs) so I made him a BB8 cake.  Which yes, I realize may have been better suited for his 8th birthday, but I never said I was good at math.  

I made two circle red velvet cakes (following this recipe), cut one cake into a smaller circle, and then in half.  I formed the robot's body and head, slathered everything in cream cheese frosting, and decorated it with candy melts similar to the Transformer and Power Rangers cakes below (click on those links for more info).  As you can see, I've had fun with cakes for my kiddos in the past!  

And by "fun" I mean lots of panic attacks and beers.
