Strawberry crumble bars

 I was really busy last week, so many things to do, so little time ^^". Most of the things that I had to do was related to house renovation. 

 But everything is almost done, I can use my kitchen now (not fully function but almost!!!). So start from this week I have to put all my things into places. 
I miss baking, cooking, and taking photo, ^^ plus posting the recipe and taking with you (my reader, hehe). I hope that I can get back to my routine soon. 
Now we can stop taking about my hectic life, and start talking about this cute little crumble bar instead. This bar is very, very, very easy to make, but the look is so lovely. You just bake the crumble and put it in the mold then boil the strawberry and put onto the top of the crumble, decorate it and Voila! you get super cute crumble bar.
