Fruit Tarts


I thought that this would be a good size for fruit tarts but everyone's been complaining that it's too big. Will try to look for a smaller mold or something to make some comparisons.


You might think that i'm nuts with that amount of kiwi on a tart. Honestly, I have never been a fan of kiwi. I just had too many of them sitting in the fridge.

Chocolate Malted Cupcakes

Whipped up some chocolate malted cupcakes for Justin's 25th. He's a sucker for fountain soda, that's why I added the malt.


In case you do not know what malt is :

Wikipedia: The term "malt" refers to several products of the process:

  • the grains to which this process has been applied, for example malted barley;
  • the sugar, heavy in maltose, derived from such grains, such as the baker's malt used in various cereals; or
  • a product based on malted milk, similar to a malted milkshake (i.e., "malts")

The icing got a little messed up while I was transporting them. Not to mention the scorching heat from the Malaysian sun. Sigh.

I liked the malt taste though. It had this zingy sort of feeling, something different in a cupcake. I'm definitely putting this on my bakeshop menu.

Victoria Beckham - Every Part of Me



Funny, when I look at you, I don't see me anymore.

Help.

Can you please tell me how it's like to smile?

Genoise with Ganache Filling

Wikipedia: A Génoise Cake is an Italian sponge cake named after the city of Genoa and closely associated with French cuisine that does not use any chemical leavening, instead using air suspended in the batter during mixing to give volume to the cake.

I'm doing another run on this cake for my brother's birthday that's coming up this weekend.

This time i'm going to try to be a little more creative with the deco.





I still have a gazillion pictures of different cakes which I made over the past two weeks but haven't had time to post them up on the blog. Hopefully I'll get to do it soon.

Also, I'm doing a bake spree this week until Wednesday. Wish me luck!
