Elmo and Cookie Monster Chocolate Drip Cake

I made this Elmo and Cookie Monster chocolate drip cake a few months ago but didn't get around to posting it. You may have noticed that I seldom place macarons directly on cakes as they turn soft and soggy in no time due to moisture released from the chiffon sponge, fresh cream and fresh fruits. But since this type of cake is totally  frosted with a higher fat content type of frosting (ganache), it is pretty safe to place the macarons directly on the cake. But for large macaron...

Nut-Free Rainbow Unicorn Macarons

My friend requested for some nut-free rainbow unicorn macarons. Since St Patrick's Day is just around the corner, I threw in some shamrock and rainbow cloud macarons as well for photography! I made nut-free macarons before using a mix of rice flour and pumpkin seed flour, as well as cake flour. This time round I needed a pure white base so I can't use pumpkin seed. Wheat-based flour is a convenient alternative.  The last attempt of wheat flour-based macarons were made using french...

Animal S'mores Class

 I am finally venturing into having character marshmallows as class material! I have stayed away from making marshmallows because to me, they were nothing more than candies with single flavour and texture profile. But when it comes to marshmallows as part of S'mores, it is a different thing altogether! When eaten freshly toasted, S'mores are an explosion of flavours, textures and aroma! The lightly spiced sweet and salty soft Graham cracker, topped with rich chocolate, followed by...
