My path down this particular branch of cake decorating was brought on by two events - a wedding next year and a themed party hosted by the very lovely Lynn of Enchanté two weeks ago.

I was feeling a little under the weather last week, but with Fathers&#8217; Day coming up that weekend, I knew that I was going to have to put something together. It was certainly a case of the spirit being willing, but the flesh having to be dragged out of bed.
I decided to go with a [...]]]></description>

Given that I hadn&#8217;t baked in a while, there was no way I was going to let a 3-day weekend go by without firing up my oven. A quick flip through a couple of newly acquired books and I settled on an orange hazelnut praliné bûche. 
All right, so it&#8217;s not Christmas yet, but one [...]]]></description>

Just a few photographs of the dessert I made for mum on Mother&#8217;s Day for now. I haven&#8217;t got enough time to write a proper entry; I&#8217;ve got to go to bed soon &#8230;

The recipe for this Mont Blanc comes from Aran at Canelle et Vanille. I&#8217;ve replaced the chocolate mousse bombe centre with a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m starting work at a new place on Monday. The plan was to take it a little easy for a couple of days before that, i.e. no baking, no running errands, no anything. BUT it figures that things rarely ever go as planned when it comes to rest.

A week ago, my cousin SL texts me [...]]]></description>

A Baking Session
It&#8217;s been a while since I posted an entry on this blog and an even longer while since I baked macarons. Given the amount of time and effort that goes into macarons, I had no problems avoiding macaron making. That is until H invited WL over for a baking session one Saturday.

Bread making has never been a strength of mine, which is why I haven&#8217;t made it more often. Most times the bread either tastes too yeasty or just refuses to pass the window pane test, no matter how long I knead the dough. Fortunately, those days are now over, thanks to two recent discoveries.

With the fast approaching holiday season, my head is filled with visions of &#8220;chestnuts roasting on an open fire&#8221; while snow falls gently outside. Except that we don&#8217;t have a fireplace, at least not here in Singapore, nor do we have snowy cold winter days that is a quintessential part of my holiday season fantasy. [...]]]></description>

Chocolate &#038; Nutella Cream Macarons
What do you do with 400g of egg whites leftover from making ice cream and custards? Make meringue, of course, you&#8217;d think. Except that meringue on its own isn&#8217;t all that exciting. I guess it was time to make macarons again!

Pâte Sucrée (Sweet Tart Dough)
In my opinion, the most important part of a fruit tart, or most tarts for that matter, is the crust. For fruit tarts, I prefer a firm, crisp, not-so-crumbly that it falls apart on the first bite, sort of crust. The perfect dough for that is pâte sucrée.
Pâte sucrée is a [...]]]></description>
