‘Gundam vs Monsters’ 2-Colour Stripes Tier Chiffon Cake

This is another cheerful creation which made me smile making! I enjoyed making the cute Monsters/Aliens very much! I made a Rilakumma cake for him last year. This year my jaw dropped when I heard he wanted a Gundam cake! Thankfully there was a scenario in which Gundam triumphs over the Monsters and Aliens haha, so this cake was inspired by it. I only had to make cute Monsters/Aliens popping out of the cake, and Gundam triumphs over them with the help of toppers haha!For this cake I actually...

Cat and Bear Banana Steamed Cake

After studying quite a few recipes for generic steamed cakes ( including the famous Junko and Nutella Blossom ones) and banana steamed cakes, and a couple of less-than-satiafactory trials, I have finally found a recipe that is fluffy, moist and flavourful, simple and with few ingredients. Why this requirement? I am looking at making a simple, healthy and delicious steamed cake for my next culinary arts demo class at church as and when I am free to conduct. Probably after all the mad busyness...

3D Minions Chiffon Cake

This is a fluffy and naturally colored (yellow) 3D Minions Chiffon Cake for a friend’s son! I finally figured out how to make a tall 3D Minions with correct shape from chiffon cake (from my previous Minions creations a while ago)! It is thanks to an impulse buy for a pink Unopan chiffon tin at Phoon Huat lol. The pink Unopan 6-inch chiffon tin is extra tall and more cylindrical in shape than most chiffon tins, and has the same dimensions as the wilton ball cake pan. So I paired...

Chiffon Cake Hand Unmoulding Video Tutorial for a Clean Finishing

I get a lot of questions on how I get the chiffon cakes looking clean, neat and showing rainbow colours or patterns. So here's my humble attempt at a video tutorial on how to hand unmould them to get a clean finishing, and also in preparation for the Creative Chiffons book we are working on with Marshall Cavendish. I make on average 1 chiffon cake every 1-2 days with different recipes and have found that not all chiffon cakes can be unmoulded easily with a flip at the side without...
