BT21 Marshmallow-Macaron Music Box
My friend wanted to surprise his girlfriend again with a BT21 themed birthday creation so he requested for a music box with RJ as the standing figurine.

Hotpot Chiffon Cake
Too cute to eat?
I made these cakes for my dear DG mates birthday celebrations. The soup was made from apple jelly.
Watch the reel video here for more details. Thank God the cake was well-received. I may try planning a class for this in future. Hope you liked it too!
With love,

Capybara in Orangeland Yuzu Orange Swiss Roll
I have been eyeing the U-shaped cake mold from Qeleg for the longest time. I finally have the chance to try it out!
Here's the video of the process:

Capybara in Orangeland roll cake recipe
Feel free to use any patterning method/ recipe you like. I developed my own for a more stable patterning batter that doesn't crack at the boundaries, produces sponge with fine pores suitable as a painting canvas & has a similar soft texture as the base sponge. I am not ready to share the method and recipe for the pattern I developed at the moment.
(Makes one 12x12" thin layer of sponge)
Egg yolk batter
3 egg yolks*
30g oil in
45g yuzu jam tea**
54g cake flour, sifted
Pinches of salt
1/16tsp orange emulsion (optional)
Meringue
3 egg whites*
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
45g sugar
Cake Filling:
25g yuzu jam, blended
100g whipping cream of choice
4 small sweet mandarins, halved
Extra yuzu jam tea
* Large eggs at least 65g with shell on
** Blend 40g of yuzu jam with rind in 40g hot water. Sieve through fine sieve. Use the liquid for making sponge & brushing sponge before filling
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 170C. Make cake pattern using your preferred method & recipe
2. Make egg yolk batter. Whisk egg yolks, orange emulsion, salt & oil together. Add flour & yuzu jam tea in alternating additions, whisking until well combined each time
3. Make meringue. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until firm peaks, gradually add sugar once egg whites are foamy
4. Fold meringue into yolk batter. Pour over pattern. Bake for 15 min or until done
5. Cut the patterned U shaped piece & rectangular piece for the base. Paint the sponge as desired
6. Whip whipping cream until firm peaks, fold in blended yuzu jam. Transfer into piping bag
7. Place sponge pattern side down on parchment paper. Brush sponge with some yuzu jam tea. Put in U-shaped mold from Qeleg
8. Fill the sponge with cream & mandarins. Cover base with rectangular sponge. Freeze for 30-40min. Flip the cake over onto serving plate/cakeboard. Keep chilled in airtight condition. Consume within 3 days

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Rose Tea Marshmallows
My friend requested for some Bumblebee and Optimus Prime bakes. Since I have already made the macaron versions earlier this year, I thought why not challenge myself with the marshmallow version since I was concurrently working on another epic marshmallow project.
Watch the squish and piping reel for these Autobots over here:
