National Day 2013: It’s a Red and White Affair

August 9, 2013

Hitting the pause button on Flashback Friday to celebrate Singapore’s 48th birthday!

To celebrate our nation’s birthday this year, I made Red Velvet Cookies with White Chocolate Chips! Apt, right? 😛

Alright, so my cookies didn’t turn out to be very red cos I didn’t use a lot of food colouring. Haha. But I love how rich and cake-like the cookies turned out!

Here’s wishing everyone an amazing long weekend and,


Blake made this in school!
