Peter Rabbit Macarons with Dark Chocolate Ganache (template provided)

I have a request for Peter Rabbit macarons and got really excited about having a chance to work with such a classic cute character! Peter Rabbit falls under public domain so I am able to share the template freely here. I edited line drawing images from DragoArt to create the template. Please acknowledge the sources if you are using the template as I have taken time to work on it. The original Peter rabbit drawing is narrower but for macarons, it is preferable to have something rounder...

I had some extra batter while rushing out a batch of bears with beer mugs macarons so I decided to make something simple and cute. So here are my Pusheen cat macarons done the lazy way!

Korilakkuma and Kiritori Strawberry Yoghurt Chiffon Cake

I love Korilakkuma and Kiritori! I made this adorable pair from chiffon cake for my old church friend’s daughter! KRK and Kiritori are good friends of Rilakkuma. Last year I made for her Rainbow Little Twin Stars =), maybe she likes things in pairs! The recipe for Strawberry Yoghurt Chiffon Cake is from here, same as Miffy’s. Here, I doubled the recipe for a 9-inch chiffon tin and instead of straight lines, I made wavy lines by depositing mounds (more details on waves in Creative baking:...

Naturally Coloured Rainbow Iced Gems Biscuits

I have the honour of baking some items for the dessert table at one of my church's event :). Rainbow coloured iced gems is one of them. All coloured naturally with purees, juices or plant extracts!! I thought this fits the event theme of "Colour God's world" well as I colour these little treats with items from God's creation. These treats are also flavoured naturally, unlike Khong Guan types that are vanilla flavoured only. As Victoria of Victoria Bakes can attest, these iced gems...
