Lemon White chocolate mini cake: Mini size with a lot of happiness

 You know that I can't stay away from my oven, hehe, even I still don't want to move myself, I still want to bake.


It's one of my hobbies that I can't stop doing (actually I started to realize that I have TOO MUCH hobbies, I don't have enough time to do my job properly, ^^"), and don't ask me about my hobbies because it's a long long list.
Lately I have a problem that my family can't finish my creation as fast as I want, haha, I know that they need some times to rest but I want to bake everyday!!!!! So, I try to bake mini size of everything instead. Like this cake it's so small and because of its size no one feels guilty after eating it (my plan is success ^^). I always believe that we need to enjoy all the things that we love and desserts, cakes or cookies are not bad at all if you don't eat too much them. So bake it, enjoy it and sharing it with your friends, don't stop doing the thing that you make you happy. I once heard that it will be great if you can do something that you love one thing per day, so no matter how busy you are don't forget that your mind and body need a time to rest. And today I suggest going into a kitchen, and baking a cake with me, you will get delicious cake and relaxing time as a reward.
