White Chocolate Mousse and Strawberry




Today I made Strawberry Cream roll, yes again . I like cream roll, the texture is so soft and light. Filled with white chocolate mousse, it tastes better if you put it in the fridge. The cream gets really cold and refreshing just like ice cream. Great for summer weather with a glass of chilled lemonade and a good book to read.

Anthurium and Alan Dunn

Add caption
Anthurium with Gingko Leaves

I was very fortunate to attend Alan Dunn's workshops. He is a world leading sugarcrafter in making flowers, his flowers are so lifelike and delicate looking. He is such a wonderful guy in real life, very humble, patient and of course very talented in his skill. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and I will be going for more of his workshops in the future. Because Alan has written so many books on sugarflowers, I am not sure which book the Anthurium is in. Here are some of Alan's books, have a click on them to view the contents of each book.

Lemon Curd Cheesecake



The base is made with crushed ginger biscuits, the top is lemon curd, which is homemade with real lemon juice and zest. No artificial but if you don't want to make the curd yourself or you are pressing for time, store bought lemon curd is always and easily available. It is worth to get the good quality one tho.

Death by Chocolate

Ribbon, heart, leaf and rose are made from white chocolate

The cupcakes were a choclately going away present made for a friend.  There's a rocky road, chocolate glaze and chocolate fondant.  I took the opportunity to road test a couple of recipes I hadn't tried beore.  Think the results are pretty good, though practice makes perfect.

Heart shaped Cake



My first time attempting to carve a cake into a heart shaped. Get to learn from Lindy Smith herself. It was really interesting even though it didn't look anything like Lindy's -Flora lHeart cake . Well, there is always the first time to everything right?

I don't really like the recipe of this cake. It was Medeira which I find it rather heavy and dense. Also, it has to be baked inside the oven for quite some time. The cake is supposed to be densed as apposed to light, soft and fluffy; this is for the purpose of easy carving.

I will have to tweak the recipe or find another good cake recipe such as sponge cake or anything but madeira for carving in the future.
