Giant Yellow Rabbit

by Florentjin Hofman


Introducing the 'stor gul kanin (big yellow rabbit)' by florentijn hofman in örebro, Sweden.


Have you seen this ginormous rabbit installation going around on the internet lately?

It's just simply too cute! I wonder if people can climb on it...like little enthusiastic kids could easily climb to the top...provided it's safe to do so!

or maybe soon this rabbit will be made into a soft toy!! 
My niece would love it to pieces!

Banana Cake & Rabbit Walk


I baked my first banana cake last Friday. I was inspired to try out Poh's recipe after reading Jo's (my wey of life) blogpost using the recipe from Poh's Kitchen cookbook. I bought Poh's cookbook a while ago when Borders had discount to cookbooks. To date, i have only tried Poh's banana cake recipe. Previously i was using her macaron recipe for reference but did not follow the whole recipe to make the macarons.

a fatal disaster nearly happened as i forgot to add my brown sugar to the mixture. Completely forgotten about it until i poured the batter into the cake tin. I felt like an idiot! lol. So, i thought i could still add the brown sugar to the batter and mix it thoroughly IN the cake tin. (i doubt anyone has done that before!) haha. So fingers crossed...i put it into the oven hoping it'll turn out alright.

And it did turned out good! phew! Still yummy & moist. I cut the cake into pieces and brought to my Disciple class on Saturday morning. Feedback was good! Phew phew.

Like Jo said, i love banana cake too. It's a good recipe that will not go wrong. No doubt it's the Best Banana Cake in the World! It's so moist & yummy & packed with nutrients! Definitely going to bake more banana cakes! ~

Although banana price is so expensive nowadays, i managed to find discount pack for overripe bananas. Yay to that!
the Best Banana Cake in the world!
On Saturday, it was a beautiful 24 degree sunny day. A perfect day to spend some time under the sun, so definitely not to be wasted as it started raining on Sunday night and will be a rather wet one this week!
So my friend. Cindy decided to take her darling rabbit, Carol out for a stroll on Saturday arvo. I tagged along too.

I think Carol was a bit shy at first and probably overwhelmed by the new big space...also, she probably did not enjoyed being attached to a leash. haha. It was actually a bit tricky to keep up with Carol. She tended to go her own ways. =P

Little Carol's first outing at the park.

DIY: cute Easter chocolates








What i did this morning. I melted some dark & milk chocolate buttons together in the microwaves for 30 seconds. Stirred & another 20 seconds in the microwaves, they should be nice and smoothly melted.

Then i poured the chocolate into cute rabbits & ducklings molds i've bought from Spotlight. I used a little teaspoon as this process may be a little tricky & messy. Wipe the edges clean before the chocolate harden.
Leave it to dry on bench if cool weather or simply popped them into the fridge. Should be set within half an hour.

For the yellow ducklings, i used white chocolates and added yellow food colouring powder.

Then have some fun taking snapshots. And don't forget to share with others this Easter Sunday. God Bless. =)

Shinzi Katoh's illustration! A cute rabbit fabric badge i bought at Moose stall at Unwrapped market.
Last week i made these dark chocolate rabbits using the molds i bought from Spotlight. Cute!

another cute rabbit wooden brooch/badge bought at Moose stall. Still searching to find out who made this.
If you know, let me know ya!
One thing i'm sure is that it's made by Australian designer/artist as Moose sells all local Aussie goods!

Also i stumbled upon these lovely bubbly child-like tunes at Lullatone via the Little Drom Store's tweet. Cute tunes that i can listen to all day long. You should listen to them too!

Happy Mid-Week!!
