Baked Orange Slices Orange Chiffon Cake

Do you like the orange slices baked into the top or the sides of the cake? So happy my experiment worked! I first baked Mandarin oranges into chiffon cake 4+ years back. The 'Ji' chiffon cake is now in my 2nd book Deco Chiffon Cakes (without the baked oranges). The orange slices were a little sunken and not so pretty. Glad to finally come back to this and able to bake it both into the base and sides of the chiffon cake with minimal shrinkage! Baked Orange Slices Patterned - Orange...

Chip N Dale Chiffon Cake

This is actually Dale from Chip n Dale! But it was so weird to call it a Dale Chiffon Cake hehe. So here goes! I am loving my little cute square chiffon tube pan from Japan which I also used for my Spongebob cake! Here I made some simple zigzag grass using vanilla and pandan batter. It's similar to my Waves chiffon cake from Deco Chiffon Cake Basics. You can refer to the book for picture tutorials. Here I just made the arcs more pointed to create a slightly different design =). This...

'Miffy with Rainbow Scarf' Blackforest Macarons

My friend requested for a few Miffy macaron cake toppers for her daughter's birthday as the celebrations span over a couple of weeks. I made Miffys with rainbow scarves as requested :) The round macs with little Miffy heads were made with extra batter. I usually prefer the Italian method for making character macarons as it is easier to adjust the colouring. But because this batch is so small, I decided to use French method. The recipe is a little different from what I normally use...

Vanilla chiffon cake with dark chocolate ganache in between and topped with Maisy and friends macaron cake toppers! The class of 3 year old tots really enjoyed this cake!
