I was so happy to be able to do this cake for my friend's mom's 70th birthday. I love when someone takes time to celebrate themselves - well deserved! Happy Birthday Tita!

What better way to celebrate the greenest day in the world with some green tea cookies! At the Winter Fancy Food Show this past January, I connected with a green tea matcha company, Aiya - who then sent me a sample of their cooking grade matcha. I incorporated the matcha into my cookie dough like I do my cocoa powder when making chocolate cookies. The dough came out a bit dry, though not unlike the chocolate cookies.

The thing about Green Tea in general is that the taste is pretty subtle, or rather, it can be easily overpowered. Next time, I won't add almond extract to the dough, and especially since the icing usually has a bit of almond extract in it. Will keep the vanilla though - since i read somewhere that vanilla enhances other flavors.

I will definitely do this again! :)

Chu Hope Wedding Cake

My sister's wedding cake table. Cake and cake truffles! Since it was a destination wedding, the cake was purchased undecorated at a local bakery, and I decorated it in a kitchen that was not my own! How stressful, I forgot to bring supports for the top tier! fortunately, straws are easy to find anywhere! :)

"Interesting Fact: the bride traditionally stands on the left, and the groom on the right. This dates back to medieval times when the groom might need to defend his bride in the middle of the ceremony, and wanted to leave his right hand, his sword hand, free. While few grooms even carry a sword anymore, the tradition has lasted."
cake cutting is serious business!
