fancy a sugee

For those who love the all-time favourite Eurasian Sugee Cake like me, it's so difficult to find a good one these days, isn't it? So I thought why not try baking it myself right? No harm trying, even if it sucks, I'm sure the hubs and I will eat it ourselves haha! Not to mention a couple of pals who are more-than-willing guinea pigs hehe! Anyhow, guess what? Success! According to most of my taste-tasters, it's moist on the inside and has the right texture of a sugee cake - yay! Oh it's also not too sweet, totally friendly for the health-conscious. I haven't figured out the marzipan and icing bit. So for now it's a "naked" cake and yesss I'm taking orders for Xmas!



Eurasian Sugee Cake, available in loaf or 6" (650g) at $20; or 8" (1kg) at $30. Rich and moist, yet light and buttery Sugee Cake filled with almond bits and fragrant rose essence, topped with almond slivers.



Also available in cupcake sizes of 5cm at $36 for 24pcs; or 6.5cm at $30 for 12pcs.
