[Joey's post]

The time has finally come to review the amazing Whyzee MSW DurianCake! When news first came about this special review, we were beyond excited for it to come. Our entire family loves durian and welcomes anything from real durian to durian flavoured food!

When the cake finally arrived, we were already amazed at the design on the cake, even before the tasting of the cake itself.

There was an abundance of fresh cream on top, making it look very soft and pretty as well. Don’t you think it really looks like a real durian too? Even before the taste test, the presentation of the cake had already won us over!

Now, moving on to the actual taste test! Our mouths watered when we first saw the inside of the cake at the first slice. It smelled exactly like durian too and that is because there is actual durian inside!

One of the many layers in this Mao Shang Wang durian cake, is a puree made of pure durian flesh. It definitely brought the entire cake to another level! The sponge cake itself was very airy and definitely balanced off the heavy creams on top and the thick puree. And even the frosting that decorated the cake was had durian incorporated into it!

It definitely is one of the best cakes I’ve eaten in a while! The whole family loved it and devoured it in a couple of days. Dessert is always the best course of the meal.

Overall, we absolutely loved this Mao Shang Wang Durian cake to bits, and we are very thankful to Whyzee for sending this over! This cake is definitely our go-to cake during birthdays now!

FavFlorist - The New Way to Brighten Up A Home

Sponsored Review

[Joey's post]

A week or two ago, a package arrived on our doorstep from FavFlorist. To our great delight, there was a beautiful flower dome in it! At first glance, we were already incredibly intrigued at the packaging that we were all clamouring to open it.

Once we opened the box, we were incredibly amazed at the beautiful design and intricate details. It was clear that there was a lot of care and thought put into it. The name of the flower dome is Peter Pan Preserved Flower Dome, and it definitely lived up to its name!

The placings of the flowers and the beautiful leaves wrapped around the centre of the whole piece. In the centre sat a beautiful dandelion, perfectly preserved! As I said earlier, it definitely lived up to its name, as it looked as if someone had trapped a part of a fairy tale in this dome.
It was the prettiest thing we have ever seen!

The flowers and plants in the dome were all very well preserved and we all marvelled at how some of the plants were able to stand up straight without falling, we definitely loved the entire concept of a flower dome!

Just when we thought it couldn’t get better, we found out that it could light up! Thus, we all scrambled up to the room to test it out in a dark room. All we could do was to stare at it in awe, it looked so magical!

With the fairy lights inside, we could see every aspect of the flower dome way more clearly and it seemed to glow from afar!

The flower dome has definitely given us a new perspective to preserved flowers and plants. Thank You FavFlorist for sending us this!

Masons Premium DIY Terrarium Kit

 Sponsored Review
[A special post by Joey Kuan]

A few weeks ago, Masons sent us their premium DIYterrarium Kit for a review. Which naturally gained huge excitement as we had been to several terrarium making classes also by masons in the past and had always enjoyed them thoroughly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this terrarium kit, which is now on sale on the masons’ website, included materials for a perfect Saturday project:
1 glass bowl ~ 1 set of gardening tools ~ 1 bag of mix soil ~ 3 pots of succulents
3 bags of decorative pebbles ~ 1 drip bottle ~ 1 bag of figurines

 The packaging for the materials provided are also re-sealable for future use!

So, on the very next Saturday, we all gathered together in our living room and got to work piecing together our terrarium, which was a rather simple procedure as the kit also included an instruction manual! Allowing us to follow each step and add our own twists to them.

The procedure was simple but very fun to carry out because who doesn’t love a little hands-on activity, especially for young children, as a way to create their own terrarium with decorations they placed themselves. 

The procedure is as follows:

• First, fill the bottom of the glass bowl with small rocks [please caution around young children]

• Secondly, fill the bowl with the mix soil provided in convenient re-sealable bags, to the half-way mark, enough to completely cover the bottom of the succulents and hold them in place. [Don’t be afraid to get your surroundings a little dirty while pouring in the soil, it’s all part of the process]

• Thirdly, you can start putting your succulents into the bowl or you can put the decorative pebbles first, whichever you fancy [note: the succulents can be fragile, so do be careful when taking them out their pots]

• From there on, you can add in the different decorative pebbles/rocks and the figurines provided in the kit as well! Personally, I found the flamingo figurines really cute and the perfect addition to the terrarium, giving it a bright and homely feel.

• The gardening tools provided will serve very useful as well in arranging the plants, the soil around them, and the decorations you put in. As a bonus, they also serve useful for future projects or just as decorations around the house.

• The drip bottle is to easily water your plants weekly, and has exactly the right capacity to water all four succulents provided thoroughly!  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to reveal our final product!

How do you like it? It was honestly a really enriching and fun experience, being able to create and decorate our very own terrarium, especially with such pretty plants. The decorations suited the plants provided and the huge glass bowl we used as well!

Throughout the process, there wasn’t a single time where we were confused about what to do or how to go about piecing together the terrarium as the instructions were very clear and simple to follow! 

These kind of projects where there is a lot of freedom to do what we want and decorate it to suit our likings, my family would specially make time for them as all the opportunities we have gotten so far have been really fun and interesting. 

The last time we made DIY terrariums, also by Masons, was at an event in Garden’s By the Bay. There was a workshop and we had the chance to create mini terrariums which we loved very much. That was why when the news about this review came about, we were all very excited. 

Generally, I think that this DIY kit is something that will definitely garner your family’s attention and get them to spend an hour or two away from gadgets to create the terrarium together! Especially for children that may have become restless due to the long hours stuck at home because of COVID, this DIY kit will definitely entertain them! It is a great family-bonding activity, and your family can take turns watering the plants every week. 

Thank you Masons for sending us this DIY kit, we had a really fun time putting it together as a family!
