Matcha Azuki Bean Mini Cakes

If you are a fan of Matcha and Azuki beans in dessert, you will love this cake --- alternating layers of light matcha chiffon sponge and refreshing Matcha pudding with whole azuki beans!

I will be teaching how to make these mini cakes at Redman. I decided to use Sakura flowers and whole azuki beans for a simple and elegant decoration.

Woodland Themed Yuzu Dark Chocolate Choux Pastry

I will be conducting a class for making fox, raccoon and bear choux pastries at Redman!

You may find this design familiar as these are featured in my Deco Choux Pastries book but in simpler form without the arms and the tree stump. I decided to choose a flavour of filling that will tantalise your taste buds. Refreshing yuzu pastry cream with bits of rind in there to provide some bite, lightened with whipped cream, and with bits of finely chopped dark chocolate to add another dimension to the filling.

Dessert Themed Raspberry Macarons (class with Redman!)

I am starting teaching at Redman in addition to teaching at ToTT! For my first class at Redman, I will be teaching how to make donut, ice-cream cone and cupcake macarons, filled with raspberry whipped ganache and homemade raspberry jam!

Although I started my macaron journey with Italian method, I have come to fall in love with the Swiss meringue method as it also produces a stable meringue, you can work with slightly smaller batches than Italian method, and it is also easier to manage. The ice-cream cone and cupcake designs are taken from my first macaron book, Creative Baking: Macarons.

Click on this link to register and view the details of what is covered in the class. The raspberry jam will be premade for you as it is time consuming but easy. I will provide the recipe for it.

With love,
