Money talks and cash doesn't come any sweeter than this Million Dollar Truffle Cake! Actually it does NOT cost a million dollars but RM 490 but you do get real gold foil, fake gold coins and genuine truffles! Proof you can have your cake and eat it too!

This calke is called Better Than Sex (RM 220) but the lips do not open so it is not possible for you to shove your tongue inside or any other organ but you can kiss the hotlips for sure and eat it too.

I love this Banana Lust cake but despite its name it hardly looks erotic as they should have used an entire, uncut (get it?) and curvy banana fruit instead of banana chips! Doesn't remind me of a lan chiau or cb at all! RM 220

NOW THERE IS A NEW TOURIST ATTRACTION WITH THE OPENING OF MS B'S CAKERY IN HONG KONG!

Bonnie Gokson, owner of Ms B's Cakery, is as delicious, delectable and edible looking as her much talked-about cakes.


NOT MANY MALAYSIANS HAVE HEARD OF BONNIE GOKSON AS SHE IS NOT A FAMOUS MOVIE STAR, SINGER, ACTRESS, ENTERTAINER, TA-TAI OR EVEN A FORMER MISS HONG KONG.

BUT BONNIE GOKSON IS RICH, BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY..THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT ATTRIBUTES. OK YOUTH IS ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BUT BY THE TIME YOU BECOME A STYLE ICON AND TREND-SETTER AND APPEAR IN ALL THE GLOSSY MAGAZINES, CHANCES ARE YOU WILL NOT BE A SPRING CHICKEN ANYMORE.

BUT WHO CARES AS LONG AS YOU LOOK YOUTHFUL, DAZZLING AND RAZZLING!

IN BONNIE GOKSON'S CASE, SHE IS ALSO A STYLE ICON AND MANY HONKEES LOOK UP TO HER FOR HER DRESSING SENSE AND ADMIRE HER STYLE AS SHE IS ALWAYS DECKED IN THE LATEST DESIGNER GEAR SINCE SHE HAS A FIGURE TO DIE FOR AND DOES NIT REQUIRE A NEIGHBOURHOOD SEAMSTRESS TO STITCH UP SOME BAJU TO ACCOMMODATE THE SURPLUS AVOIRDUPOIS.

Now she has opened a Cake Shop called Ms B's Cakery. What a name. I love it. If I open my cake shop I will call it Kee's Kakery!

If you see this outside your house in Hong Kong (many Malaysians have homes there!), you may start salivating straightaway!


The cakes, as expected, is divinely sublime and so are the prices. Be prepared to pay RM 200 with spurts of up to RM 500 for a 500gm cake. Frightfully expensive but this is Hong Kong so what do you expect? Ms B has to pay through her nose for the rent as her shop is not a hawker stand OK?

Hong Kong style icon and lifestyle diva Bonnie Gokson opened her new bespoke cake shop Ms B's CAKERY on April 29 at 39 Gough Street, Central, which is the most expensive prime real estate in Hong Kong.

The opening was timed to coincide with Britain’s ‘Royal Wedding’ of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The launch also coincided with the third anniversary of her fashionable penthouse restaurant SEVVA, atop Prince's Building in Central.

“It was one of the most anticipated events of the year and everyone was in a festive mood so what better way to celebrate with the Cakery launch, plus it' was also the 3rd Birthday of SEVVA! Triple Treat!” said Ms Gokson.

Ms B's CAKERY (www.msbscakery.hk) was inspired by the popularity of her sweet-toothed recipes at SEVVA, namely the ‘Marie Antoinette's Crave and the Original Caramel Crunch Cake '. The venture now extends the market for her delectable and talked-about cakes and sweets to the general public, corporate groups,other restaurants and outlets.

The standalone cakery is located on a quiet but charming and hip side street, uphill from The Centre in Queen’s Road in Central. Ms B's CAKERY promises to “raise simple perfection to an art, from preparation to presentation” - with unique flavour combinations and extraordinarily good taste.

The menu of decadent desserts will include ‘BUTTERFLY KISSES’ (HK$920), a chiffon cake with layers of fresh fruits and rainbow treats topped with handmade sugar butterflies; the ‘MILLION DOLLAR TRUFFLE CAKE’'(HK$920), wrapped in 24 carat gold leaf and coins; ‘BETTER THAN SEX’ (HK$420), an dark and moist chocolate temptations and salted toffee surprise. ‘CRÊPE SUZETTE CAKE’ (HK$420), made of French crêpes and orange bavarois.

Also on the menu is the suggestively-named ‘BANANA LUST’ (HK$420), is simple but to-die-for, a banana cake with fresh cream adorned with banana chips. ‘CAFÉ AU LAIT MERINGUE TORTE’ (HK$420), a multi-layered cake of light meringue with aromatic coffee cream embellished with organic choc-coated coffee beans.

‘MADAME BUTTERFLY’ (HK$580), is an exotic and intense blend of beetroot, pistachio and chocolate layered chiffon with apricot compote and fresh cream crowned with dark and white chocolate. ‘MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA’ (HK$150 for a box set of three) is a taster set of red bean crème on chiffon sponge with lady fingers. ‘LADY IN RED’ (HK$580), is a raspberry mirror cake with lychee crème and berry sponge. ‘PARADISE’ (HK$420), comprises of lavender taro chiffon layers with coconut cream and glazed young coconut. And 'SUNSHINE' (HK$580), is sure to brighten anyone's day made of lemon and poppy seed chiffon with a tangy citrus curd.

“Everything is made from scratch from premium quality, natural ingredients of the finest produce sourced from all over the world,” adds Ms Gokson, "Aside from all the many creations, there's an item for everybody.......Sugar Free and Gluten Free for the ones who yearns for a bite of sweetness! ' beamed Bonnie Gokson whose svelte figure is proof positive of her claims that you can have your cake and eat it too.
