Bitter and strong taste from the Kahlua, light and soft spongy cake, and nutty from the sprinkled almonds, glazed with coffee syrup when warm. Perfect for your morning wake up or afternoon refresh.

Apple Pie
The all-time favorite... Apple Pie!! Flaky crust, sweet and nutty brown sugar, slightly fragrant spice of cinnamon, and soft buttery apples, topped with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Delish! My kids had two spices!!
Coffee Roll Cake
Bitter from the coffee, spongy from the cake, and slightly creamy from the buttercream. Perfect with milk-blended coffee.
Sweet Potato Cream Cheese Buns
This is one of my favorite buns and I would eat it every single day without getting sick of it. =) The buns are slightly sweet from the sweet potato, creamy from the cream-cheese and soft from the well-risen dough, then sprinkled with sugar crystals and black sesame seed.

Pumpkin Spice Macarons
Now, with the Thanksgiving and Halloween season being, I wanted to try something with Pumpkin Spice and came up with the idea of Pumpkin Spice Macarons. They came out rather better than I thought. They are creamy from the creamcheese, yet has a hint of spice, nutty from the macaron caps, and then has the essence of Pumpkin Pie. Perfect for Thanksgiving. ^^*
Happy Thanksgiving!
Mini Croissants
Miniature Croissants; flaky and buttery. Kid's would love these for snacks and they would be gone within seconds.

Creamcheese Walnut Buns
The buns are creamy from the slightly sweet creamcheese filling, nutty from the walnuts in the dough and the almond slices sprinkled on top, and soft from the well-risen dough. Although, the buns are really big, you may be quite full after eating this.
Sausage Buns
These are my kids' favorite Sausage Buns. The buns are topped with onion, corn, cheese, and mayonnaise filling, then decorated with mayonnaise and ketchup.
Butter Rolls
The rolls are soft like a baby's butt and as soon as you take a bite of the rolls, you can taste the essence of the butter and feel the softness of the rolls.. You can also slice it in half and spread it with jam or peanut butter, or add some ham or turkey and some veggies, and have it as a snack size sandwich; whatever your choice may be. It is also a great size for kids hands and for them to enjoy.

Lemon Creamcheese Bread
These are soft buns filled with Lemon Creamcheese filling, topped with meringue and slices almonds. These were supposed to be baked in Brioche Pans, but since I do not have them, I baked them in Jumbo Muffin Pans which I shouldn't have done and ended up over-baking them. They ended up a bit dry, but still soft.
Twist Sandwich Loaf
This is my go-to Sandwich Loaf... my oh~so soft and moist Sandwich Loaf that goes great on it's own, or as a sandwich filled with lots and lots of deli meat and vegetables. I love my sandwiches with pastrami, pickles, red cabbage/green cabbage/carrots/cucumbers/red onion coleslaw and dijon honey mustard. Or you can make French Toast with cream cheese/strawberry jam filling. Just the thought of filled french toast, I'm getting hungry. YUM!
Chocolate Soboro Buns
Chocolate Soboro... this a chocolate version of the original Soboro Buns. My nephew who came over during the summer with her two sisters and mother was picky of everything he ate... VERY~ picky! He would not eat anything without chocolate and this was one of this favorite buns. But then again, who doesn't love chocolate?? =) I once made my Green Tea Cranberry Cookies and he thought the cranberries were chocolate, so he was overly excited until he took one bite, then tossed it on the ground. =( But then overall, it was understandable because his mother spoils her kids and herself is picky, so I got nothing to say about the way they eat. That's who they are and not like our family who eats whatever we get.
Soboro Buns
Another famous buns most Asians love... Soboro Buns. I guess you can say it's kind of like Streusel Buns. These buns are soft and moist with a slightly sweet and nutty streusel topping.
Red Bean Buns
The oh~so famous Red Bean Buns most Asians love. I'm not really a Red Bean Buns fan, but the buns are baked with a thin layer dough filled with lots of red bean. The red bean filling can be found at Asian stores in cans or in sealed plastic packages/bags. OR you can go the hard way like my sister-in-law and let the dried beans sit in water over night, then cook them in boiling water, drain them, and cook it again in low heat for a long long time until it gets paste-like. Not worth the time unless if you don't like it sweet, then you're more than happy to go ahead and take the longer way. =)
