Ann, Remember I said, if any entries submitted to the White Christmas Challenge through Quay Po Cooks wins a prize at VGR, they will get an extra price from me which is my son's band, ROSEVELT's first Album named 17:25? Well, the result is not out yet but to me, whoever have given me the support is a winner in my heart already. May I have your address so that I can courier the CD to you? My email is quaypocooks@gmail.com

hi ann, love n trust all ur recipes. would love to ask u do u have any good yummy recipe for kids ginger breadman? please recomend me some tecipe.
Hi Sue,
I'm posting a ginger bread x'mas tree cookies soon. You can use this recipe for ginger bread man. Same as most ginger breadman cookies, mine are quite hard.
Hi ann,,
I saw your post on the Christmas tree cookies. I relise the amount of butter is vert little. you mention it is quite hard, hmmm is it nice? I mean too hard for kids?
Hi Sue, I think is fun to make gingerbread man with kids but taste wise is not everyone's favourite because there is nutmeg in the recipe.
Mmmm… You can try half of the recipe and judge it by yourself.
