Baked Treats for the Holidays
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man. Bake me a cake … um, cookies, and cream puffs and … and … ^^,
We’ve got less than a month to Christmas and we know, there’s more to sweet celebratory treats besides the ones from big name brands like See’s, Cadbury, Nestle, etc.; limited edition Xmas chocos, special goodies and more special goodies.
When you have to have a cake or two in your holiday spread or something to serve Santa on his gift delivery pit stop at your house, this is where you might want to get them. =)

UPDATE: Sweetmates (It’s All about Cream Puffs)
Cream puffs … I remember the first time I tried some. My sister brought some home from … err, that source, escapes me. *hihi But from that moment, profiteroles were one of the go to baked goodies that we bought from various bakeries.
I’ve tried regular cream puffs, cream puffs that are not so puffy (but tasty nonetheless), dry cream puffs, good cream puffs, cream puffs that are true to their name – full of cream, etc. =D
It seems we got over the choux à la crème craze and it was not until we took a bite of Sweetmates‘ cream puffs that our taste for this was reawakened. (“,)
Cream puffitas. ^^,

Passion and Indulgence for Sweet Luxuries at Sweetmates
Food – it’s one of our most basic needs.
If you break food down to categories like dessert however, edible treats like cake, pastries, etc., can easily be referred to as luxuries. (If you’re wondering what the difference of luxury and need is all about, you just have to think about it this way: Will you die if you don’t have/get that particular thing? Giving a purely logical, no drama answer =b, it would most likely be a no.)
