Recipe books review

Hi all,

Since I am no longer teaching and this blog has been empty for a long time, I will change this blog into a recipe book review blog.

As many of you know that I am very free now and doing home experiments on food. I thought to record my testings here. Stay tune ;)

Love,
Angeline

Cakes for friends

During 1 of the dinners I have with my friends, they asked if I am keen to do some cakes for them. It seemed like Feb is a month for birthdays. Bee Leng alone wanted 3 cakes as herself, her husband and her son all celebrate their birthdays in Feb. Lisha's husband also celebrate his birthday in Feb too.

After some chatting, I was convinced by them to make the cakes for their family. Here are the cakes that I have made for them.

Vanilla Baked Cheesecake for Bee Leng's Hubby

Summer berries creme brulee tart for her son.


Strawberry mousse cake for Lisha's hubby

Rich Chocolate cake for Bee Leng

Interested in any of them? Or you have any cakes that you crave for? Let me know and I will make 1 for you :P

Basic Baking lesson 2

Yesterday was the 2nd lesson for the basic baking class for 2010. I run this class at Palate Sensations, 4 times a year. I did not take any photos of the 1st basic baking class, as that was the busiest class. All the students are new to me and also some are new to baking. The 1st class was all female. We actually had a good time although we were rushing for time.

The 2nd class was also a busy class, with 4 quick cakes to bake. I thought I will give them a kick start by melting the chocolate and butter for the brownies in advance. Everyone came early and was very excited to get. Menu for the class is Brownies, Raspberry and white chocolate muffins, Banana cake and Marble Cake. 4 cakes, 13 students and 2 ovens, is it possible to finish in 3 hours? Well, we did it. Here are some of the photos from the class. Enjoy.

Getting ready, measureing out the ingredients and working as a team.

My 2 jokers in the class. It was fun having them as they reallybrighten up the class.

Triple Chocolate Brownies

Raspberry and white chocolate muffins

Banana cakes

Greedy students who put too much mixture into the moulds and see how they overflow out? hehehe In the end, it is all about having fun right?
