another birthday celebration

It was my MIL’s birthday on Saturday. I decided to make some ice-cream cakes to celebrate 🙂  Instead of using a tray, I bought some aluminium foil bowls (which are for lor mai kai) and made ice-cream cuppies.

Got some pretty heart sprinkles too as topping

Oh, I finally bought a rolling pin.  Here is Ashley helping me to crush the cookies.

After stiring in the melted butter, it’s time to press them into the little bowls.

I bought 2 different types of ice-cream this time – chocolate and vanilla.  Some of the cuppies have vanilla ice-cream as first layer and some chocolate ice-cream.

Here are the cuppies. We celebrated MIL’s birthday at Swez Brasserie, Eastin Hotel.  I brought the cuppies to the restaurant and the staff was so kind to keep them in the freezer for me.

Cuppies blowing time.  Ashley told everyone that her mommy made the cakes and they should all say ‘Thank You’ to her mommy 😉  She also told them that she helped me to make them too *grins*

    It’s good to have a little helper in the kitchen. And what a wonderful thought for your MIL’s birthday 🙂

    thanks 🙂

    Wow, Barb. Investing into aluminium bowls is a wonderful idea. I never thought of that. The cake is easier to scoop and eat, and the best part of all – it does not require cutting. I’ve been procrastinating the making of my ice cream cake because I couldn’t find appropriate container… lame excuse, hahaha!

    i got the idea after seeing MNHL’s Diary’s 2nd attempt. It’s really hard to cut the ice-cream and when you scoop them with a spoon, the cookie crumbs will fall everywhere. so when everyone has their own bowl, they can eat it easily.

    What a great idea, Barb! And what a great help Ashley is. And I love her dress; goes very well with the rest of the assemble :-D. You’re a very thoughtful “sampou” too. I stopped making anything for my in-laws many years ago… haha!

    thanks 🙂 hmm…perhaps this is the only time i’m making something for her 😉

  13. ipohgal says:
