Clover Chee VS Clover Cakes-Who wins?

See how delighted she was with the bakes...hehe...
No prizes given for guessing who's more appealing to me...haha...Clover has grown drastically over the past few weeks and never fail to delight us with her smiles..Indeed ,she melt my heart each time she smiles...Bought a clover cookie cutter and attempt to cut the cake with it.However,my lao gong remarked that the shape of the cake resemble a cross rather than clover leaf.Hmm...But I still like the cutter though,and I even purchased a clover cake tin,alas it was too big for my oven and I only realised it after I made the purchase.Sigh,seems like I have to search for a smaller clover tray.Anyone seen it before?
By the way,the cake was dark chocolate with white chocolate as topping,taste even better the next day.In addition,I also added in cream cheese to experiment with.A good choice if you cannot decide between chocolate cake or cheesecake.Who says we can't have it all?hehe...
Can try if you wanna...
