My dearest friends, it'd be a very short post as I am going to go to Hong Kong for a visit. I'll miss you all, and look forwards to "seeing" you when I return in the end of August.These crepes are spreaded with white chocolate cream (store-bought), stacked up high, and cut to smaller pieces by a copper cookie cutter.Remember I just made the cherry sauce in the previous post?
