Clownfish Macarons with Peppermint White Chocolate

I couldn't resist making a school of clownfish with orange coloured batter leftover from my crab macarons bake. Here they are! My friend wanted whatever excess macarons I have from my big batch of bake but needed the filling to be able to withstand room temperature storage as she was giving away the macarons as gifts. I immediately thought of using melted chocolate as the filling base and spicing it up with a dash of peppermint. Please refer to my crab macarons post for the recipe....

Barnyard Farm Animals Tier Chiffon Cake

This is my first attempt making a chiffon cake Barnyard with so many chiffon cake Farm animals! I was rather nervous about so much detailing required for the various animals and barnyard, so thank God for really helping me through this! The animals were cut and carved from small chiffon cake pops and I took 1 day to bake and 1 full day of carving and assembly for the various animals. In addition, I made a ‘Moo-moo’ top tier with Vanilla chiffon cake and Charcoal black patches, as...

Nautical Ombre Blue Iced Gems with Miniature Sailboats

After a hiatus of a few months, these gems are back! This time they appear in a nicely gradual shade of ombre blue and whimsical teeny sailboats riding on "waves"! These old school iced gems are really easy to make so if you are a fan of these, do give it a try! No tricky meringue, electric mixers, folding techniques or eyeballing oven temperature needed ;). Ombre blue gems was requested but I couldn't resist playing with the idea of using the blue icing to form waves! I borrowed...

Crab Macarons with Salted Egg Yolk Swiss Meringue Buttercream

It's macaron mania for me again! But will try to intersperse the posts with other bakes so you don't get tired of seeing macarons all the time :p. I have a request for crab shaped macarons with salted egg yolk filling. I was quite excited about trying out this flavour as it is exotic and Asian. Perhaps something akin to 流沙包 (liu sha bao, salted egg yolk custard steamed bun) that is a popular Dim Sum item. Having no recipe as reference on the internet but some experience in making 流沙包 (liu...

6 Flavour Rainbow Hearts Chiffon Cake (Updated flavours/natural colours) with Video tutorial

I first made this 6-Flavour Rainbow Hearts Chiffon Cake a while ago for my hubby. It’s a special chiffon cake with 6 flavours embedded into the cake (and also a heart in every one)! :) It all started because I was asking my hubby which flavour he would like the chiffon, he replied many flavours and this is the result of my wacky experiment! It was a really fun cake for my hubby and he enjoyed the many flavours in the horizontal slice. This is my second attempt at the cake half...

Mickey Mouse Gloves Tier Chiffon Cake

This is my first cake after a hiatus to Disneyland where we met Mickey mouse several times in person! Now I can understand why my friend's son loves cute Mickey gloves so much =). This is a tier version of the Mickey mouse chiffon cake. I added a vanilla chiffon cake tier on top decorated with polka dots. But the challenging part was in carving out the gloves from chiffon cake which took half a day. Made with lots of love, happy birthday to Rayne! Susa...

'Molang with Apple' Apple Salted Caramel Macarons

This has got to be one of my cutest macarons! Molang holding an apple :). The filling for these match the subject too! Apple pie filling with swiss meringue buttercream and a small dollop of salted caramel at the center! I was playing with leftover white macaron batter from making Mickey Mouse glove macarons and can't help but smile :). It's one of those bakes where the inspiration comes along as I am working on it. The idea for Molang to hold an apple came to me suddenly as my...
