Cheese Cake Anyone?

Major love for cheese cake this week =). Thanks to my good friend Kent who helped me out with the photography part, the pictures were AMAZING! You can see the major difference in the quality, angle LOL almost everything about the picture..Super happy! excitement much! =) It makes the dessert looks good 'winks' and taste good too I hope..haha! Joys!

I know! It feels like wah!!!!!!! LOL I feel it too when I saw it  =). It was really fun finally working together on our 'mini photoshoot'. Taught me many many new tricks with I never realised. Thanks Kent!!! More to come! Well back to the cheese cake yea? I made a lighter version of the regular cheese cake you can find outside. But it was a little too moist I think..I felt a bit mushy but still can be accepted ..The colour, taste and size was really good! One of my success for cheese cakes!

It kinda looked a little boring at first,,but as you can see I tried to make it look more interesting..Then I upgraded it using bananas and melted chocolate, I thought it would make a good combination =) and the outlook of it was great! Light creamy cheese cake in between sweet banana and smooth squeezed chocolate =)..Imagine that!  Anyway let me just show you more pictures if you can't haha..Come visit soon! =)

white mice must be wishing for some? =)

HuMBle,CruMBle, all so MuMBLE, Apple PIEeee!

Ahhh the delicious apple pie..Best served warm..Hmmm the aroma of sweet cooked apples and buttery pie crust fills the house! I made crumbles with oats on the topped to make it a little healthier and it gives it a crunch. Chunky soft cooked apples caramelized with sugar yums! I'm not too much into to the all blended mushy apple, doesn't give as nice of a texture on the taste buds.

Next time try scooping vanilla ice cream on your apple pie..It quite awesome! =) More to come!..

Chocolatey Tart =)

Hi all =)! A really simple chocolate tart this time. Everything is made from chocolate..well just except the tart..from the filling to the topping to the deco is all chocolaty goodness! yums!

And no! Chocolate don't exactly make u fat! Well at least that's what every girl wants to believe..They are full of anti-oxidants which keeps you looking good! and it's the BEST thing when you're feeling down and sad ='(..awwww So I did made some more recent due to a little bump in my life..Well I think it's quite a mega change haha but maybe just a little exaggeration =)..The best thing to give me a little lift is chocolate..Just a little cause they do contain SOME calories..haha! Well till I get use to the little bump, desserts will be my best friend! More to come! come back soon ok?

Brownie REloaded !

Chocolate-ty brownies are back! *screams* hehe =) Yes I have made this delicious before so no harm making them again! I have to say they look much better this round, wouldn't you agree? And this time I had 2 of my blind mice friends to join me =) Unfortunate for white mice that he was busy that day =(..hehe too bad for you! and blind mice no.3..

This round I added the all so guilty chocolate ganache, which made the brownie 10 times yummier! Forget about the calories..hehe =) Warm brownie with crisps edge and the center that was soft and moist topped with ice cold vanilla ice cream and thick chocolate sauce and toasted walnuts..hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm =).

First bite =) Blind mice no. 1 said it looks better when we poked into it..haha..Drooling while taking the pictures. All pretty photos this round is courtesy of HuiYi =) Thank You! And test mice no.2 (Ging) liked it too! Must have a picture of them while they eat next time =). Sad for mice no.3 that she was sleeping. Haha! your lost! Anyway there would be many more times to come! Come visit soon! =)

Hungry?

Carrot Cake! Omg a veggie cake?

A lot people are quite against this cake, and I use to be one of them. Can you imagine? A carrot which is a vegetable cooked in stews, soups and malaysian popiah, which are all savory made into a cake? It's just plain wrong! Well all that changed after I unconsciously took a bit of carrot cake at a birthday party and surprisingly taste nothing like what I imagined! Some people might still not like the idea but it is quite good trust me  =).

Introducing! =) tadaa! my version of carrot cake! Soft moist cake filled with raisins and a hint of cinnamon and the all so healthy carrots! which is what I think keeps the cake moist =) and for the top, smooth cream cheese icing and loads of caramelised nuts! I prefer putting the caramelised nuts on top which stays nice and crunchy  =) They are good on their own already but with everything together it's awesome! 

So for me it's a 'healthier' cake  =) so go give carrot cakes out there a chance! you might not regret it =) Well at least I didn't ..If you still don't like it maybe you'll get to try mine one day  =) might chance your mind..hehe!

Little rabbits will be over joyed! =)

Creme Brulee ^^

Finally success! After the failure of my first attempt at creme brulee haha no post on that 'blek', I was determined to try it again!..Heh heh and this time it worked. It set to the right consistency and still silky smooth texture on your taste buds =).I also had a new toy...a mini blow torch thank you daddy! It's the coolest thing like the ones you see on tv but smaller! It created the caramel crust on top of the creme brulee and when you put your spoon into it, it cracks like glass..OoooOoOo....

A great contrast between the crunchy sugar top with the silky smooth pudding on the bottom..But what brought me joy was the beautiful caramel top.It's kinda felt like a science project I was doing in school, burning stuff and all =) I have to say the taste wasn't really as exciting as I thought it would be..maybe I've been having too much custard recently..Will try a more citric flavour the next time..maybe orange? haha but for now I'm happy with this result =)

 

Will be back soon! told ya 'winks'! enjoy!

Cream Puff, Choux Pastry Love! =)

I have good news! More free time in my hands now joyous! This means more pastry for you and me =) More time to have more consistent blog posts. winks =) So let me introduce you to choux pastry, what cream puffs are made of. It's quite magical how they work..It's liquid-y when you place them in the oven but then within minutes..TADAA! Poof-y golden brown cream puff rising happily in the all so hot oven =) I have made them many many time and some people have tried them too but through many attempts I have much improved from  before well at least I like to think so hehe..

They are very versatile which is why I love making them..I made a few variations this time..the first is Strawberry and Chocolate Cream sandwiched in between the warm buttery aroma cream puff and topped with icing sugar to give it a snowy feeling =) yes it's quite tempting isn't it? hehe..strawberries! *hearts*

Next up! Éclairs..sounds very French =) Well usually I make them smaller in size but I wanted to try something else and I've realised smaller is better this time cause they pop faster into my mouth haha  =)..and usually I make them with regular pastry cream but wanted to be a little out of the box so attempted chocolate one, which was good too! thumbs up..Topped with chocolate and some almond flakes too..the chocolate looks so shiny! wait till till you see the last one =0!

Profiteroles! one of the best dessert after dinner =) You know why? Cause it has one other favorite dessert of  mine...ICE CREAM! =) jumps for joy! hopes it burns calories at the same time..Well anyway it's also easier too, cause it saves me the effort from making the cream haha =) Imagine ice cold vanilla ice cream in between buttery cream puff and poured warm chocolate! omg I bet you're thinking what I was thinking, too bad you weren't there to eat it with me..haha! *evil smiles* This one is my love out of the 3 =) I hope inspired the cream puff in you and more pictures for your enjoyment =) Will update real soon! heh heh! ^^

shiny shiny chocolate =)
