焦糖奶油泡芙 (Salted Caramel Cream Puff)

公司的一位男同事，即将在11月成为人夫；最近也突然对下厨产生了兴趣。有一天他突然问我为什么他做的闪电泡芙连狗也不吃？我当时可是觉得莫名其妙，后来才知道他在烤好了泡芙后还让其留在烤箱里待完全冷却，结果拿出来时泡芙已经硬得咬不下了。

经他这么一问，触动了我想做甜点的念头。



早前煮了一份焦糖，做了我自己心目中想做的甜点。出来的成品，无论味道和口感都让我出乎意料的。

泡芙的食谱我参考了 Sonia 家的，只是面层的饼干面糊在烤出来后的成品觉得自己做得太马虎了。

"爆酱"烧包

这是早前做的烧包，也是我一直很想做的。我很常在外边买烧包吃，我最喜欢市区老
街有家卖包子和糖水的茶室的烧包，其味道很好；只是随着物价高涨，感觉包子里
的馅料也好像"缩水"了。



这烧包的食谱收起有段时间了，一直都嚷着想做可就是少了一份冲动；也是因为酥
皮费时多工的步骤让我一再给自己迟迟不动手的借口。

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival !!!!

Chocolate Banana Cake

这是做给父亲庆生的巧克力香蕉蛋糕。其实父亲的生日是在中秋
节的前三天，因为时间关系和母亲商议后就趁他俩老人家在开斋
节假期来渡假时预先为父亲庆祝了。

这个蛋糕装饰的很简单很单调，可是我本身还是很喜欢那些立在
蛋糕上的 fondant小寿桃。

Green Tea Cake (绿茶台式蛋糕)

My auntie called me and asking a piece of cake to her yesterday.
She was reminded to me this cake must came with not so sweet,
healthy and not oily. I've understood that my auntie always
keep to say she want to reduce her weight, but she always "eat
first than diet later......"

This is a Taiwanese sponge cake. It's soft, light, spongy and with a
strong green tea flavour. Some of my friend they don't like the
green tea taste but I've strongly recommended to one of my
baking friend of this spongy cake.

Another Parent's Day

I've made these chocolate brownies for another parent's day
celebration dinner.

I was informed by them these brownies will given to everyone
especially for the parents who have attend to this function. They
were requested me to pack the brownies into a nice small gift boxes.

Since this is a charity work and have to save the cost, I've decided
and sponsor these gold and silver small boxes for their celebration.

When I'm packing this, I've think of my dad, did he blame to me
or unhappy because I not celebrate this father's day with him?
Anyway, I hope all the parents who were attended to this dinner
will have a happy and lovely night.

My First Scone

This is the first time I made scone.

What I was understand in scones: this small cake is a quick bread.
A British snack of Scotland, made of wheat flour or oatmeal;
usually with baking powder, sugar, butter, milk or cream and
sometimes eggs. Scones are often lightly sweet but may also
savoury.

I was made this scones with "rubbing" the butter into the dry
ingredients become bread crumbs before adding the wet
ingredients to form the soft and sticky dough. Then shaped and
cut out with cutter, place on a greased baking tray and baked in a
preheat oven.

I've not prepared for my dinner last night because I was enjoyed
with this scone!

Cakes

Mango Cheesecake

I got a call a week before from David & Rachel were asked a
mango cheesecake for their best friend, Brother Pang's birthday.
This is a 1.5kg mango cheesecake, made with fresh blended
mango puree and extra mango cubes inside the cheese filling.
They also requested that filled the top of cake with additional
mango cubes and with the word writing "Happy Birthday
Brother Pang".

I was not satisfied with the word writing because of not clear
enough and nicely done.

Durian Cream Cake

Another cake done as requested by my brother's house mate
for his friend.
This is a sponge cake filled with two layers of durian cream and
with simple decoration.

My Holiday Baking

I was enjoyed my three days holiday with cake baking last week.

My adopted father had celebrated his 75th birthday last
Saturday, he had a chocolate mango cake on his birthday.
I baked a chocolate sponge cake and filled with 2 layers of fresh
mango cubes and cream.

Unfortunately, the cake was damaged on my way back to home
town because of me wanted to dodge a dog was rust out to the
road on my driving.

"Before damaged look"

"After damaged & decorated look"

With a heavy heart, I removed all the damaged cream and
mango, re-filled the cake layer with the fresh mango cube
and cream I had bought at my home town.

Another 2 birthday cakes had requested on last weekend.

I baked a chocolate sponge cake for this cake, and filled with two
layers fresh mango and cream.

A vanilla sponge cake also filled with peach slices and whipped
cream, top with fresh grape fruits.


A chocolate cotton cheese cake for my mum. I baked this cotton
cheesecake and celebrate the mother's day with my mum on last
Sunday also. This was a early celebration of mother's day this year.
