Dessert Recipe: Bon Anniversaire ChicGorgeous & Kiwi-Orange Creamsicles


Woo hoo.. for she's a jolly good fellow.. for she's a jolly good fellow.. for she's a jolly good fellow..[ya da..la la..di..da!] Chic & Gorgeous Treats is now 1 years old. Wow.. has it been a year? Time is really flying. I keep saying this every single day. It just feel like the earth clock has speed up the time. Don't you?

It has been a lot of ups and down plus a couple of months I went MIA. It's because I was just tired and lost some of my motivation to up keep the blog. However, many thanks to my loyal blogger friends and personal friends for poking me left and right making sure I don't give up. That is something I value at heart and treasure most. So here's a shout out to Elisabeth from Food and Thrift Finds and Pei Li from Pei Li Miniatures, THANK YOU for constantly stopping by to check on me. As for new foodie friends, I'm glad that I've found you and in return that you've spread the word about me or stumble upon me. For once I know you guys and gals are reading and that made me want to write even more, sharing my views on tested recipes.

Now this post is deeply inspired by Stephanie from Desserts for Breakfast. I remembered sometime ago, I tagged Stephanie and she gave me a shout out at her blog too. I may not know her personally, but boy oh! boy her dessert making and photography skills is to die for, if I say so. I thought it would be fun to celebrate my blog anniversary with a twist. Instead of a cake or tart, I think it's more fun to serve creamsicles or ice lollies or ice cream in a matter of fact. For recipe click here as I think it's only rightful of me to link it back to Stephanie from Desserts for Breakfast. When I saw that orange and kiwi is involved, I knew I just had to make them as orange is my no.1 favourite juice and kiwi is packed with vitamins. Put them together, I bet we can conquer cough an cold anytime. And what can I say further? A PERFECT Summer treat. The balance of vanilla cream, kiwi and orange is refreshing, light and will sure have you asking for more.

I think I'm going to take a break now and enjoy licking my Kiwi-Orange Creamsicles! Yummmm.. YummmMMmm.

P/S: Do stay tune for the new Chic & Gorgeous Treats and I'm truly happy that I now have 30 followers. To the 30th follower, you made it happen too and I hope there will be more followers to come. So keep them coming and I will certainly do my best to write more interesting food topics ;)!!

  2. Happy 1st Blog Anniversary, Joanna!
    You've come a long way since you first started. You have produced such beautiful and gorgeous desserts, and yummy dishes...photos are simply gorgeous. Love the refreshing creamsickle!
    Thanks so much for the shoutout!
    BTW-I put your blog back on the list. For some "glich" problem I've had with google, actually they all disappeared or they just did not show up. I had to redew the entire list, and must have forgotten to put yours back on. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
    Also, when I passed the award on to you abt. 10 days ago, I thought it did not go through, and you did not get my msg...posted another comment re: the first, unfortunately you did not comment back on to my blog...commented back on yours, and I did not know what was happening!
    All the other blogger who I awarded came over to my blog to mention it, except YOU!
    I have been busy for the last month and a half house/dog sitting for both my children, and had to rely on their computer...so sorry for the mishap!
    Have a wonderful Sunday, and keep up the great work you have been doing, and keep producing your amazing desserts:D
    Hugs,

  4. Hi Elisabeth: No worries, I left you a comment back too thanking you, how can I not. That would be really rude of me, and my mom will not approve of that. Not sure if you got a notification from me leaving you comments in your posts. Hopefully everything is sorted now.. and I can't wait to see what else you whip up.

    You have a great week ahead and a new month.. Take care.. huggss..

  7. Spoon and Chopsticks: Hey! How's it going? Great to hear from a foodie friend from the Land Down Under. Have been to Sydney back in 2009, and can't wait to be back. Sipping hot choco walking along Circular Quay, enjoying sunset, and taking in the Darling Harboour view every single day was a dream. Perhaps we can meet up when I'm there.. Yeay!! Thanks for making it 31st.. and I'm counting.. Am following you back and sending you some buzz. Cheers, Jo
