Here are a few photos of my orders =)
A friend of mine has a little obsession with strawberry cheesecake. And i got bored of making a plain only normal strawberry cheesecake. I was googling cakes and this strawberry cake photo pooped up. So i got an idea of combining cake and cheesecake. Something a little different but you get the best of both worlds!. The filling is a strawberry cheesecake mixture (literlly) with chunks of fresh strawberries inside.
It wasnt o so pretty but im not really disappointment because there is always room for improvment =D.
isnt that an awesome name for a cupcake?!. Chocoholics dreams are finally comming truueeee!!
I made these cupcakes to tease my friend you know who you are (a).. i call it chocolate revenge!
I first woke up in the morning ready to start baking my orders and BOOM! The electricity turns off -.-. I waitied and waited and waiiiiiiiiiiteed till it finally turned on again so i can finally start baking. There was also something fishy with my butter it was kept out for hours so it would soften and well it wasnt getting any softer! so i had to use a mixer to get it softer and to a lower tempreture. But in the end it everything ran smoothly.
The other thing i baked today is banana bread! I made banana cake before and banana cupcakes both topped with either caramel or the classic cream cheese frosting. Thie loaf smelt oo soooo sooo good when it was being baked up in the over and the hint of cinnamon made it ever better as i said before i love cinnamon. You could drizzel some hot caramel sauce on top or even chocolate but i kept it plain since i know that my dad loves banana cake and he doesnt need any extra sugar lol. The only disadvantage that i had was the cake was all browned outside but it wasnt ready yet on the inside so the bottom of the cake burnt a bit. Maybe i should have turned the oven off and let the inside slowly cook. I cut a little part of the bottom off so now my lil mistake isnt noticable ;)
Ive been a lil sick for a few days and its been hell not being able to bake! But today i just had to had to haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadd tooo bakkkee!!!!!! anything at all!!! im short on ingredients at home so i tried looking for a simple recipe and whats on my to do or should i say to bake list is a chocolate torte. The recipe was quite simple actually but you need to whip up your eggs whites alone, chocolate alone, egg yolk alone so lets just say that my kitchen was a bit of a mess after finishing up this recipe.
Was it worth the mess? YES IT WAS =D! i was a bit worried at first cus the batter looked so little and my spring form pan was a lil big but after folding in the egg whites the volume literlly doubled up! ( dont underestimate whipped egg whites) I baked it for around 30 mins and it came out just the way i wanted it to with the lil crumbly top. suuuuccceeesssss!!!! Chocolate quality is importent.
A yummy bar topped off with cinnamon apples and streusel.. sounds like comfort food doesnt it? well it sure it!
The best part is having your whole kitchen smell like an apple pie (which is also on my list) there is something about cinnamon that makes food more comforting.
I cant babble much since im a bit on a rush! ive been sick for the past few days but i had to bake something today! days without baking is pure hell! The kitchen is like my second bedroom lol since i spent plenty of time in it.
YUMM YUMMM!!!!!!!!!
that was a proper way to start this post dont you think? dulche de leche is my new obsession. i love the color smell and ofcourse taste!
Whats better them a soft chewy delce de leche cookie with filling! to make it even better drink a cold milk to complete the cookie break.
dulce dulce dulllllceeeee oo what will we do without your sweeetness?!
Sounds a bit yacky doesnt it? but it wasnt that bad really! great smooth texture and not too sweet im not a huge avocado in the first place so it not one of my favorite flavours. it had a hint of coconut in it too!
Good morning my fellow readers! (if anyone is out there)
So does anyone know how the sun tastes like? well ill tell you its a deep deep dark secret so shhhhhhhhhhhh.... is it sweet, salty or sour? we'll ill reveal the hidden truth right here and now!. PASSION FRUIT AND MANGO!!!!! SHHHHHHHHHH!
Passion fruit mango bars are deliciously refreshing with a slight tangy flavour due to the passion fruit. Baking these are extreamly easy. The base is a gramcracker crust, simple right? and tastes soo soooo goood. I didnt puree the passion fruit because i like the affect the seeds give the bar but you can if you want to. Sadly i dont have any left since my mom took them all to work.
After a busy week i finally got the time to bake a cake thats on the top of my to do list! I never made a full on coconut and i absolutely LOVE coconuts! There are so many desserts which you can incorparte coconut in.
So my day started of as a lazy one to be honest but the thought of warm coconut custard changed my mind! The filling of the cake is coconut custard with some shredded coconuts (yum?). After i cooked up the custard i poured the custard in a bowl covered the top with plastic and placed it in the fridge to cool. I started preparing a simple white cake recipe with coconut milk and a drop of coconut extract. I should count each time i say coconut in this post lol.
When the cakes were done baking I let it cool at room tempreture and when it was completly cooled i started preparing the cream cheese frosting (no coconut here) the sweetness of the coconut custard filling with perfectly compliment the sweet get tangy cream cheese frosting. I also semi-toasted some shredded coconuts.
Assembling the cake was pretty easy only took about 10 minutes! You can judge the result on your own!
My favourite part of this cake is the filling its so creamy and so so COCONUTY! It also thickned up beautifuly. I dont mind eating down a whole bowl of warm coconut custard, thinking about it makes my mouth water with joy!
over all the level of difficulty for this cake from a scale of 1-10 is a 3 =)
Warning thinking about this coconut cake might cause weight gain.
So Ive come to realise that my blog isnt what you'd exactly call eye candy! im still learning how to manage everything and i cant seem to find good designs..tsk tsk tsk..
If anyone one knows some great sites or ways of how i can change the look of my colume so it isnt so skinny please do share! Since i have a feeling that my photos arent big enough to really make your mouth water lool.
A good friend of mine has taken these photos of my cupcakes and they look FANTASTIIIIC.
