Angry Bird Hatchlings Marshmallows

While making a batch of brown sugar teddy bear plushiemallows for my friend, I made some marshmallows in the semblance of my kids' favourite plushies! Blue and green hatchling plushiemallows!These were made with the same recipe and batch as this post so you may head over there for recipe. I would have preferred using all white sugar so I didn't have to compensate so much for the light tanned colour caused by the brown sugar but I didn't want to end up having too much marshmallow by...

Chocolate Filled Strawberry Marshmallow Bouquet

 This is rather last minute but I have decided to share how to make this edible bouquet made out of marshmallows!The marshmallow flowers are all filled with chocolate!The marshmallow recipe and technique is different from all the plushiemallows I have been making. These are actually traditional Russian marshmallows called Zephyr or Zefir which are agar and fruit-based. No gelatin is used for the version I follow so there is no pork, beef or fish source in there. I use lots of strawberries...

 I made these Mermaid Pusheen choux pastries in early January this year but only got around to posting it now. Better late than never!These creampuffs with crunchy cookie dough (or craquelin) are filled with vanilla diplomat cream.Choux pastries need not come in round choux buns, long Eclairs or donut shaped like Paris Brest.

Totoro and Mei Earl Grey Salted Caramel Macaron Scene

 I had a request for a macaron scene with birthday girl's favourite characters in there so I created this!Totoro and Mei with elephant, giraffe and koala!I used my default swiss meringue method recipe to make the macaron shells for the characters and the large round base. The trees are made of black tea brown sugar meringues. I got the basic recipe from a baker friend but tweaked it for the added flavours so I am not able to share it. Yes the entire tree is made of meringue!...

Bunny Pandan Coconut Gula Melaka Swiss Roll

This project has been on my waiting list for a while after I made the corgi swiss roll based on my 3D corgi design. Presenting my bunny swiss roll based on my 3D teacup bunny macarons and 3D bunny macaron designs!Pandan coconut gula melaka chiffon sponge with the same flavour of diplomat cream and coconut agar jelly in the middle. To be honest, I had trouble taking photos of the roll cake together with the macarons because which ever angle you choose, something will aways look odd😅....
