It starts with whole, ripe pineapples

A few days prior, two entire pineapples were chopped and then reduced down to a chewy jam. This is all that remains. No sugar or thickeners are added at all.

Each dough ball is measured, to the exact gram, as is the filling. Push the filling in, then mould around the filling.

Filled ball is placed in a special aluminum baking form, which we brought back from Taiwan.

I created this animated GIF from this awesome, free web site ​gifmaker.me. A link on their site takes you to another great free image-resizing service, resizeimage.net. I highly recommend them!

Let the cake-stomping begin.

These pretty little wrappers, also from Taiwan, keep the cakes fresh and tasty.

    I'm an applied-math-research Ph.D. and serial startup founder. I am a recognized computer security expert, fortunate to join the ranks of many, great CTO's. I've founded and seed-funded multiple, successful, VC-backed companies. I'm still at it!

    My wonderful wife and I moved from New England to near the Portland Oregon area. We LOVE the Pacific Northwest, and we've been here a few years now. We have an adorable baby girl, Vivi.

    People here are nice and smile a lot. Vegetables are insanely delicious. Driving is not like Mad Max.

    This blog is very Vivi-centric. Our family just can't resist. :) Also, there are some stupid hacking and geek tricks.
