Yuzu Honey Ginger Chiffon Sponge and Pudding Cake

My brother requested for a simple birthday cake for his colleague. After discussing what flavour options to go for, we decided on yuzu. I took the liberty of adding other subtle flavours into the cake as well... Honey, ginger and a little lemon juice! I am a foodie of sorts so I love to focus on bringing an interesting touch to tantalize the senses with flavours and textures that are not one-dimensional, especially when called to create bakes that are simple in design. Here's my take on...

Merlion Chiffon Cake

Very excited and thankful for the opportunity to bake for K-pop star Chung Ha when she was over in SG in collaboration with LG Singapore! The Merlion is our Singapore icon, so it was specially designed for her as a surprise gift. Of course, mine ended up being the cartoon version as that's me haha! The colour palette was chosen to match her concert theme. And the chiffon cake is pandan flavoured as we wanted to showcase our local flavour =). I used freshly blended pandan juice, but...

Ladybug, Beetle and Spider Coffee Macarons

Sometimes I get unusual requests and this is one of them. Bug themed macarons. Filled with coffee flavoured filling. For a kid 😱. I go 😱 because there are more parents being concerned about feeding kids tea flavoured bakes from me because of the caffeine content but this kid wants coffee! Anyway I am using decaffeinated coffee here so there's the flavour but without the high caffeine content 😆. I gave my own take on what bug macarons should look like. Proper roundish bug shaped of course,...
