March Hare - Chocolate Chip Cookies with Nuts

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum - Chocolate Eclairs (ordered)

Chershire Tail - Marshmallow with Candy Melts

This item was done by my hubby, must give credit to him. =)

As we were unsure of how to handle the candy melts, the whole of first batch was thrown away. Candy melts is very sensitive to heat and MUST avoid steam / water while melting. 

Hubby did the melting and coated the pink layer until 4am. hehehe Thanks dear. He even cut out Styrofoam board to hold the marshmallows for overnight drying. 

The next morning, he melted the lavender candy melts, this round he piped one of the "Cheshire Tail". The rest were done by me. hehehe

What makes fragrance Char Kway Tiao? Pork Lard and Lard Oil. Thanks hubby for making the pork lard from scratch. We know it's unhealthy, but don't eat it often it's fine. =)

We will try it again with proper proportioning of kway tiao and yellow mee, this round with cockles. Maybe the cockles juice makes it tastier?
