Ramadan Kareem

One nice thing to do during the month of Ramadan is food exchanged between friends and neighbors. Usually sweet dessert or something sweet for iftar (breaking the fast).

My friend, Santy gave us these Lemon Cream Puff and they were absolutely delicious!!



On the next day, another friend of mine mbak Ani sent us Putu Ayu...yum yumm! And I couldn't resist taking picture of this cake...they were gorgeous and so photogenic :).





Santy also shared the recipe. Here's the Lemon Cream Puff's recipe.
