ooooo... yum yum

there is a phenomenon

at christmas time in singapore

when bakeries are rife

with log cakes

(this concept is quite alien to us aussies -

here fruitcakes reign supreme)

so of course mama was dying to try some

for christmas day

it's actually a swiss roll sponge

covered in cream forked to look like a log

and cheesy christmassy decorations plonked atop

well do you think the folks

bothered to offer me any???

well i got my own back

on the day we visited my uncle's place

and there were 12 other children causing havoc

so i sat quietly (unnoticed) in a corner

licking the cream off a plate of log cake slices!
