Hello Kitty Lychee Raspberry Rose Macarons (jumbo sized!)

My friend requested for a giant Hello Kitty cake topper for her daughter's birthday. I couldn't resist playing around with my new backdrops for photography! She looks happy on a day out! I was actually preparing some prebaked macaron shells for a bunny teacup class and had lots of leftover white batter. I thought why not make the Hello Kitty macaron. Although it is my preferred way to make the clothes out of macaron batter as well, I didn't want to waste the excess white batter...

How time flies! When I first started on my baking journey, my kids were both preschoolers. They are now in their tweens/teens! Over the years, what they request for birthday bake evolves as they grow. My younger kid is turning 11 soon and for his birthday bake, Among Us macarons was requested. This game is the latest craze among teens today.

Depressed Dave Lavender Macarons

Hubby's book on depression is finally launching! He wrote a book based on his Depressed Dave comics about depression.

Despite its seemingly heavy content, there is humour in there. It covers what a person with depression feels like, treatment options, how friends and family can help to support the sufferer, as well as...

No-Churn Salted Caramel Biscoff Ice-cream

I seem to have many macaron classes these days so I am generating too many egg yolks, more than I can comfortably incorporate in cooking for the family. So I decided to make some ice-cream 😊. Salted caramel biscoff flavoured! My younger kid's favourite flavour! I found out by accident some time back that the frozen diplomat cream I make for choux pastry fillings make excellent ice-creams when frozen. I did some research recently and found that one of the versions of no-churn...

'Kirby and Super Mario at the Beach' Strawberry and Dark Chocolate Macarons

I had fun creating this scene for a fan of Nintendo games 😊. Kirby and Mario at the beach with some sea creatures! The rocks, sand and sea are all edible and not made out of fondant!  I used the Swiss meringue method to make this batch of macarons along with another request. It was a whooping 12 colours from one batch of macaron batter! I worked till past midnight for this one, which isn't usual for me. You may refer to this post for the macaron shell recipe. Just to share...
