#OneNationTogether 'Singapore Flag' Raspberry Jello-Milk Chiffon Cake (with Video tutorial!)

*Video tutorial up! (1/8/17): Last year, I shared an easy and yummy way to transform our humble chiffon cake into a Singapore flag! I really liked the theme of ‘Togetherness’ this year, so this is my humble take at the interweaving arms inspired by this year’s ‘One Nation Together’ theme! As the logo was 2D, this is my interpretation of how it looks like with overlapping interweaving arms. I used Raspberry Jello to impart yummy flavour and colour to the chiffon cake and a...

Video Tutorial for Piping Unicorn Macaron Shells

I have yet another request for unicorn carousel. Since unicorns are fashionable now, I thought why not make a video tutorial on how to pipe the shells since I have made unicorn macarons many times before. I decided to draw the eyes closed with eyelashes this time, since this is the in thing now :p. I used the reduced sugar recipe for the macaron shells here. Both regular and reduced sugar recipes can be found here. You may refer to my Creative Baking: Macarons book...

Mermaid Themed Macarons II (Swiss method)

I have another request for mermaid macarons along with seashells and starfish. But it's assorted flavours this time. You may refer to this post for my first set of mermaid themed macarons. I made these using my usual reduced sugar Italian method recipe but something happened and I needed to rebake the starfish so I took the chance to try out Swiss method. The "accident" was quite hilarious and I was fortunate it happened to the starfish and not to the mermaids which were a lot more...

3D Minions Chef Chiffon Cake

Haven't made Minions for a long time. This Minions Chef is made entirely from chiffon for a dear friend's son! The yellow is from vanilla lemon chiffon cake, while the plain and black are from vanilla and charcoal chiffon cakes respectively. I really liked the theme of "chef" because it reflects my own love for making cakes! You can see my previous post on 3D Minions cake for more details. I used a similar recipe, except that I substituted the blue with plain batter and charcoal...

Cookies n Cream Macaron Ferris Wheel (complete with moving parts!)

This is a bake that's not requested by anyone but I had the idea since a year ago. I took my time to mull over it and finally worked out how to make it work. Presenting possibly the world's first ferris wheel made entirely out of macarons! Pardon the poor quality of photo as I was in a hurry when I took this. Checkout the ferris wheel in motion! I kept the design simple as I wasn't sure it would work. Future ferris wheels could have cute animals or characters sitting in the cabins...

'Shopkins Soda Pop!'-inspired Chiffon Cake (Strawberry yoghurt-Vanilla Chiffon)

Haven't posted Shopkins for a while since my last Shopkins Ice-cream Chiffon Cake! This is inspired by the cute "Soda Pop!" from Shopkins, from my friend's girl =). I had fun making the cute "Pop!" from chiffon cake! The chiffon cake is a two-tone Strawberry yoghurt-Vanilla Chiffon Cake using the same recipe as here. I kind of made it sloping by tilting the pan a bit haha. Thank God it worked out well =). Have a blessed week ahead! With lots of love, Susanne *New updates...

PJ Masks Strawberry Cream Cheese Macarons (new filling recipe!)

Besides requesting for PJ Mask themed macarons, I was asked to fill the macarons with something that is kiddy, not too sweet and not dark chocolate based. Here's my version of strawberry cream cheese macarons with a small dollop of homemade strawberry jam! I used the reduced sugar recipe for the macaron shells here. Both regular and reduced sugar recipes can be found here. You may refer to my Creative Baking: Macarons book for a systematic presentation of the basics...
