Somebody Asked Me. . .


Why don't you do strawberry frosting more often?



That's why.

Here's an idea for a reality tv show:

you're in a foreign country
you have to make a wedding cake
and transport it
in tropical heat and humidity
on a bus
for about 4-5 hours
go!


Lovely bride Daeng loves our Banana Coconut bread, and requested that her cake be made out of it. That could work. . .


Ae got to bake her first wedding cake!!

Ae, Mary and Rebecca have never seen a flower made out of sugar, and yet they made all of these lovely roses their first try- in about 2 hours!

Oh, and also- there's this part at the end where you walk into the wedding and a crazy aunt is running around slapping everyone with Johnson's Baby Powder. Everywhere. . .


I think that would be a pretty awesome show. I'd watch it.

License Hate.


This is the license plate that came with my motorbike.
It has stickers of some Asian anime character.


At least one of them is reading.

It's Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!


We were on a hunt for ripe bananas to make banana bread.
But the monkeys beat us to it.


Yes, this is the truck from the zoo, buying out all the bananas.

Signs and Wonders



Some awesome things I've seen around Chiang Mai lately:

Aw Nat! You could only watch half an episode then. . .
OOOooh! First the cereal, THEN the milk.


1. glad the additives are fake, for sure.
2. but not enough milk to make a complete breakfast, as shown in the pic above.

But. . . where's the ladies' room?

. . .But not quite.
This stuff makes your hair smell. . .just awesome.

Baking it to the Streets



It's funny the people you meet selling cupcakes in the red light district of Chiang Mai.


I overheard one happy customer with a mouthful of frosting say "I can now go to bed satisfied."

Of my interpretation of the Starbucks classic Maple Nut scone- "Do you mean it? Like a May Pole?" Oh the Brits. Brilliant.

Homemade Oreo Stars. A couple of French guys told me they'd buy all the cookies from me if I went out dancing with them. Then they proceeded to do the robot. In the middle of the street.
I think you know my answer.
A Thai friend shares my adoration for Peach Mangosteen pie- "I never try like this one before but I am very like it!"
Peanut Caramel Popcorn
A tourist from Mongolia offered me 50 baht to take my picture. Would you do it? I took 70. :)
(which was donated to the kids, of course)

An Italian family loved the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Then they returned to buy cupcakes for grandpapa.

An Aussie bought a Cranberry Almond Scone. It was his birthday. Birthday. . ..scone? Sad. Maybe that's why he left Australia. Good on ya, mate.

The ever popular (but why though?) Banana Coconut Bread.
My favorite British Kindergarten teacher hobbled by today, holding his side from food poisoning pain(note: never eat chicken that's been in the 107 degree heat for 6 hours or more) He still bought banana bread for the morning: "I want this to be the first thing I eat!"
Don't worry, we don't sell naked Banana Bread. We dress them all up pretty :

See.
