Strawberry . Rose . Scones







Toward the end of March, seasons of big, red and sweet strawberry from US is almost come to the end. The taste of them is not as good and sweet as ealier, but they do still smell good! The best way of making something from strawberry at this time is to cook my beloved “Strawberry Jam” which I can eat that with my breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner.

Rose is always the best partner of strawberry, adding some rose petal and paste into the jam making it’s smell more “attractive”. This step I will never skip, believe me, if you do love rose, put in some and you will love it!

What’s more! Probably some scones to come with the jam will make your days more beautiful. I have trying out this recipe from my friend, it is soft and nice and easy to make.

Let's Start!

Finally I decided to get everything starts my ‘Le Rêve Cakes’.

"Le Rêve" is stand for the dream, in French. I will share all things about my passionate and my dream path - cake decoration and sugarcraft creation.

I am a mother of two and currently staying in Hong Kong. I am not an art person nor having bakery background. So, how I starts the affair with cake decoration? Well, It happened in May 2008, after I joined a bakery class for leisure and I addicted to it. Few months later, I started to attend some cake decoration courses offered from Wilton and even flew to Taiwan to learn Sugarcraft.

I started to bake for friends and family after I made my daughter's castel cake in May 2009. After received a few of good feedbacks from friends and family, I decided to start online baking business while still working full time as an accountant in a professional firm. 

So, what’s exactly is my Dream ?

"If I could decorating cakes, cupcakes and cookies everyday then it would be a dream come true.

How about you, what's your dream?

That’s so my Le Rêve Cakes starting. YEAH~~~ let’s take a look of my creations, hope you like them all and enjoy!
