Amazing or what?

This is what home economics is basically about:

consumer resource management (purchase house items wisely)

sewing to create or decorate

the kitchen :D

limiting unhealthy foods

fashion / textiles & clothing

Best of all, it also includes..


See how everything collides together? A lot of things relate to home economics.. it surely isn't just cooking and sewing.
Would you even believe me if I say that the photos above that you just saw are all actually cakes? Haha..
What do you think?

Take a look at this video.. and note the same cupboard cake as the first photo above, on the table.



The cakes you see above are from www.pinkcakebox.com except the kitchen and sewing machine cake, which was made by Zhanna Zubova.
Anne Heap, as seen in the video showing us how to decorate the cookies, is the woman behind Pink Cake Box, the one who designed and decorated the cakes you see above. It's amazing, isn't it? I couldn't believe it when I first saw those photos myself. They looked real at one glance.

Check out other beautiful cakes by Anne Heap on her website.
Elegant Cheese Cakes also have a wide variety of designed cakes for different occasions. Take a look and be amazed. ;)

Is that a cake or what??

During a recent family gathering, I was lucky enough to take a picture of this very unique "cake" made by one of my aunts. It is actually "pulut serunding" - a Malay dish primarily consisting of tumeric-flavoured glutinous rice eaten with serunding (toasted grated coconut), and other items such as the prawns you see above.

Taste test? It was really delicious and filling! =)
