The preparation for my 21st birthday party is on going. Or should I say, its pretty non existent for the moment. Apart from sending out invitations to my friends, I have done nothing much except cake hunting which I am in charge of. For me, it has never been a question of what cake, but where to get it from. Chocolate cake is a must of course.

I wanted to get from The Pattisier and Choc-a-bloc, but the prices are beyond my budget though the cakes looks so tempting and beautiful. And I have finally settled on a cake from Panaderia.

It's pretty affordable and it's delicious. Quite simply a chocoholics dream, with several layers of chocolate sponge sandwiched with a layer of hazelnut crunch, chocolate mousse and topped with delicious ganache. My only problem would be the mess when I cut the cake cos of the hazelnut crunch which is quite unwielding to the folk.

I have mostly invited my care group friends, kaetna and close jc friends. And my family of course. For friends whom I didnt invite, I am really sorry, I am trying to keep it small. And for those I did invite, do go check your mailbox and rsvp to me as soon as possible. I need to know the numbers so I can prepare the food and also decide on the size of the cake. Just to tempt, apart from delicious homecooked food from my mum and my aunts, I would also be preparing some desserts. And my aunt is contributing her durian cream puffs which I do proclaim is the best in Singapore and some say JB.

Oh, and so many people have asked me what I want as a present. But I am too shy to say leh...hahah. Normally the standard for girls would be perfumes, bags, accessories etc. I seriously don't mind all these lah. (hint hint, but I do like Anna Sui's Dolly girl on the beach and also Incanto Charms by Ferragamo, the bottle is so pretty). Hmm..a good cookbook for desserts would be good too. If you really can't think of anything, a good box of chocolate would do too, the none supermarket kind hor..hahah
