Well, alittle different from "Last Christmas", I've made a log cake instead. Ah....and yes! I managed to mould a Santa, a Snowman, Gingerbread man and also a house made of sponge fingers!! The rest of it...oh I bought from the nearby store...;p

A house built with finger sponge and some icing for the snow. Building this house was fun...like stagging sme legos..haha!

Below was the left over from the log..heehee! Have a peep of the cherries and the sponge...yummy! Recipe was adapted from Kevin Chai.
5 eggs
100g sugar
100g plain flour
20g cocoa powder

Fillings:
Some whipped cream
Shredded chocolate
Pitted cherries
** I've brushed some coffee syrup + rum on the sponge before spreading the whipped cream and fillings.
Method for the sponge:
~ Beat eggs and sugar till light and fluffy. Gently fold in flour and cocoa powder, add in melted butter and mix well.
~ Bake at 180'C for 8-10 minutes on a swiss roll pan (10x14")
