I was busy during the kid’s school holiday, which I got visitation from family and friends from overseas. Really have no strength or mood for baking. So ... sorry guys for not being updated the blog and visit you guys. However, I don’t want to miss out the Aspiring Bakers #8 event. Here, I am submitting this post to Aspiring Bakers #8 – Bread Seduction (June 2011) hosted by Jasmine of The Sweetylicious.
