Pistachio macarons

Pistachio macarons

My latest flavour. pistachio shell, pistachio cream filling. 

Basically pistachio madness. 

Chocolate delight with banana surprise

Boy is that quite a mouthful. I baked this for a girlfriend's birthday. 

I'm so glad she likes it. 

3 layers of light chocolate sponge, layered with bittersweet chocolate ganache, flambe toffee bananas and cream cheese. Topped with a glossy layer of chocolate glaze. 

Decorated with white chocolate stripes and three yellow handpainted peonies-made from gum paste (commonly used for flowers) 

Gum paste is perfectly edible, made from icing sugar and liquid glucose. 

The sweet and chewy texture of the flambed bananas provides a nice surprise to the tastebuds.

Sweetness of the bananas complement the buttersweet nature of the chocolate ganache, plus the slight tartness of the cream cheese prevents this cake from being overtly sweet and chocolately. 

 

Garden princess cupcakes

The client specifically wanted dragonflies, as he stated that it's one of his girlfriend's favourites things. When I ask what is the ocassion for the cupcakes, he said "no occassion, just wanted to give her a gift" I was thinking to myself "so sweet..." Hope the girlfriend likes it. :) 

Here's the list of cupcake toppers I made for this assembly of cupcakes.

Cupcake topper: ladybugs on leaf 

Cupcake topper: light blue dragonfly with flowers 

Cupcake topper: peach coloured dragonfly with flowers

Cupcake topper: rainbow

Cupcake topper: yellow and red toadstool 

Cupcake topper: turtle with butterfly

Chocolate Macarons

More macarons

After more attempts in perfecting macarons, i think have finally did it. Thank God! 

3 different fillings. 

classic traditional jam-with sprinkling of pistachio nuts on the top  

chocolate ganache 

italian buttercream 

Next post would most probably be on chocolate macarons. :) 

Tip of those who wants to attempt making it. The secret is in the egg whites.

Siena Torte

Siena Torte-1.5kg heavy

The top surface is blowtorched to create a tiled effect and thus named after the mosaics and facades of buildings found in northern Italy's cities' deep history like Siena. Hence the name Siena Torte. 

• 3 layers of thinly sliced pistachio sponge cake-heavenly taste of pistachios due to our homemade pistachio paste.

• filled with chocolate cream and apricot cream-made from bittersweet chocolate as well as apricot puree. 

• topped with a thin layer of italian meringue and then blowtorched to create a mosaic or tiled efffect.

Montblanc

No, Montblanc does not refer the luxury writing instrument brand. Montblanc here is taken in reference to the highest mountain in the Alps and in western Europe. (Taken from wikipedia)

How so? Topped with white italian meringue-which tastes oh so light and fluffy. Almost like the snowcapped Montblanc mountain. 

Then carefully blow-torched for a nice golden brown colour. Decorated with blueberries for a nice colour contrast.  

Mother's Day cake-Coffee Mill

This mother's day i baked this cake specially for my mom, incorporating her favourite ingredient-Coffee! 

Thus the name: Coffee Mill

Robust whole coffee beans were steeped in hot milk for a strong coffee taste. A dome shaped cake, with dark chocolate poured over the top for a rustic look. Topped with lemon flavoured french macaroons. Chocolate hearts and other decorations made by my younger sister elena. 

3 hidden layers inside this big dark dome. 

The bottom layer-genoise sponge cake

2nd layer-royal honey Choya parfait (dessert of ice cream and fruit)

top layer-bavaroise au cafe (cold gelatin and whipped cream dessert)
