Baking an AI Cake

I admit that I am not good with baking or cooking but sometimes just feel like trying out some easy recipes that I stumble upon online.

Today, however, my 2 boys decided to bake me this AI made cake recipe by Google. It is a Cake-Cookie hybrid. 

First and foremost, it is an easy recipe....and the result is not disappointing although sunken at the center. 

Just as described "It has the crispiness of a cookie and the, well, “cakiness” of a cake.".

We agreed that it is a bit too sweet. 

So, next Cakie must remember to reduce the sugar. 

Yeah, there will be a next Cakie.

Any pointer on how to avoid the cake from sinking?

The source of the recipe is from here - Cakie by Google 

Enjoy, stay safe and stay healthy.

Wire Wrapped Pipa Earrings by William

This wire wrapped dangle earrings with Pearl and Amethyst is created by William for his English teacher as a retirement gift last September.

The dangling piece with Amethyst is the Pipa Knot, first introduced by Corra. This knot is very versatile and you can create variations based on your creativity. I used them for bracelets, pendants, clasps and earrings. See some of the variations that I made here - Pipa knot used in various pieces

Wire Wrapped Earrings by William

William actually made quite a number of wire jewelry projects when i started to assemble all the pictures he has taken of his projects. Some are made as gifts, made for order as well as lucky draw items at school function.

▲This pearl studs is based on many pieces I have made before. See here. 

There is a tutorial for this at my Etsy Shop as well - Click here

Must say this is one of my most popular tutorials. It is relatively easy to execute but the end result will always satisfy you or the new owners ❤️️

▲A bit of twist to the pearl stud above but still the same technique.

▲These 3 pairs of wire wrapped dangle earrings are quite straightforward to do. Just pick and choose your preferred stones and wrapped with simple wire wrapped loops. Lastly, hook them to the earring hooks. These are ready made earrings hooks, so it save you a bit of time.

I you prefer all handmade earring hooks, just google how to make your own ear wire and you'd see lots of tutorials for it.
