Caramel Earl Grey Cat Box Cakes

 These cat box cakes are not only cute, they are delicious too!

Here's the cake composition:

🔸Earl Grey honey chiffon sponge (as the base)

🔸Light coloured Earl Grey vanilla chiffon sponge (as painting canvas)

🔸Caramel Earl Grey custard cream

🔸Crunchy Biscoff spread

🔸Earl Grey cinnamon honey tea agar jelly

🔸Freshly ground salt

I used the printing technique for the painted chiffon so there is no need to mess around with a patterning batter. This "cheat" method yields great results while saving the environment by eliminating the use of piping bags and cutting out a ton of washing.

Hojicha Yuzu Horse Macarons

Welcoming the Year of the Horse with these Hojicha Yuzu horse macarons!

Here's a peek at the hojicha chocolate ganache and yuzu jam fillings!

The ganache is made dairy-free and temperature stable enough for gifting in tropical Singapore so you may share this with your family and friends during this Lunar New Year without fear of it melting into a puddle during transport. All post-baking decorations are made using edible cookie dough and edible marker. 

I will be sharing the recipe and technique for this in an upcoming class. Please click on the link below for more details or to register:
