Going Cake Crazy =) Part 1 Classic Cakes...



Yes my life now revolves a lot around these things...sweets, chocolate, cakes, cookies and all sorts..I do admit sometimes I do get bored eating them..but there's this usual force that says eat me! eat me! when I'm craving for something to eat..Of course I do have to refrain myself for gobbling up the whole thing..now,small bites are satisfying enough =) If not I'll a balloon by the time I finish school!haha Well in today's post it's all about the classic french cakes we can find in most cake shops..



First up we have the classic opera cake, I bet everyone knows this one, coffee ganache cake..it's everywhere! =) It was my first attempt so as you can see it's a little messy and the layers aren't that clean but practice makes perfect yeah? =) but I do love cakes with dark chocolate glaze on the top..makes the cake looks all so clean with beautiful layers on the edges..clean finishing..with a little deco and it's ready to go =)


And how can we forget the swiss roll..or rolling sponge as some call it..Don't this just bring back childhood memories..well in the Malaysian society this is a super classic cake..you can literally find it everywhere..thick sponge rolled in cream oh and sometimes in kaya..000ooo0o0oo0o0 =) It's what every mommy will feed their child when they were young..comfort food for little children I guess..But I realised it's not that easy making these babies perfectly round when you roll them up..still we did manage to make them and upgraded them a little =)..



Tadaa! An upgraded chocolate swiss roll =) with yummy caramelised hazelnut inside with chocolate chantily and chocolate ganache as glaze..It so screams CHOCOLATE in your face =) Definitely for chocolate lovers...


OH oh! this is one of my favourite one, LeSucess! Not too complicated to make, especially when you need a last minute cake =)hehe...It's a hazelnut jaconde layered with honey chocolate ganache..It's not amazing in the 'I want to impress someone' cake department but still after all a cake which still taste good =)


Last but not least, Apricot Sacher..I must say the taste isn't that great for me..still need some twinks here and there..Looks nice though..you will like it if you were a major fan of apricots =) Well more to come with part 2 and post about ASSESMENT! lol visit soon! =)

  1. I LOVE apricots, so I will take the Apricot Sacher of your hands ANY time!! Of course, the other cakes look great too, and I am now looking forward to making them too. And if I can keep from gaining weight I will be SO relieved :-D.
