Eid Cakes!

Eid was slightly different this year because I opted not to make any cookies. I baked cakes instead.

This was the coffee sponge cake I made the day before Eid. The cake was torted into two and I layered them with coffee buttercream in between. The outer part is also coffee buttercream and I plastered some chunky peanuts onto it sides. The piled up truffles were simply Ferrero Rocher, The white truffles are actually coffee flavoured truffles which I made earlier in the morning and were then covered with melted white chocolate and left to set in the fridge. The coffee buttercream was wonderful, I have to say. Eheh..
And this one is my Oreo cheesecake. This was easy to whipped up. Doesn't require any baking and i got it all done in less than half an hour. Easy peasy. It doesn't taste too cheesy (which is perfect to me.., I don't like cheesecake that is too cheesy to the throat) because I used gelatine powder to make it firm instead of just cheese.
So that's for Eid. I'll have birthdays to deal with next month and I hope I'll be able to make more whole cakes.
