Foodelicious!

Tangerine and Chinese New Year are twins!! hahahahaha... I was asked to create something interesting for a friend's open house party.. something easy to eat and refreshing.. and me being me, wasnt happy to just pick out one of the many cakes I have made.... so, while I was cracking my head, an idea came to me..... slices of tangerine! Hahahahaha...slices of tangerine sitting on a cheesecake....

So, to make it really interesting, I revised the normal cheesecake and added a big slosh of orange and tangerine juice, a tiny slosh of orange liquor, lots of orange peel and when I taste test it, I still felt something is missing.. something to give it a boost... what??!! what??!!!... until I saw my Green & Blacks staring back at me... ooooooo....

And with a 80% cacao chocolate in hand, I melted that and swirl it into the cheesecake... Viola!! you never could have guest that a tiny swirl of chocolate could create such an effect! It was explosively awesome! Hahahahahahaa...

So, with the slices of tangerine stuck in my head, with the cheesecake all made up.. with a small secret nicely tucked in the cake.... I went about to create what I have in mind.... The above! Hahahahahaa.... it was simply spectacular if I may say so! and as for my friend.. she was beaming like a child with her first angpau! Hahahahaha..

This is on sale for RM110... heh! heh! heh!.... for an explosive CNY treat.. why not??

A delicious cheesecake nicely flavored with raspberries and topped with lots of berries.. blueberries and strawberries. The delicious aroma from the 3 berries is simply enticing and one will not stop at 1 slice...

Another successful cheesecake creation sold at RM120...

Ok.. I am no big fan of soft like cotton food... For one, I got teeth, for another, I find such food very mushy. I like my food firm and with texture.. so, if you ask me, I am no big fan of the above. I made that because I was having friends over for tea and I know they like such cotton food. Hehehehe..

So, back to this Cloud.. hehehe.. it is easy to make..infact, I used to make this to give away to my monster's teachers during all sorts of celebration. Yup, easy to make, most people like to eat and it definitely look very yumms!

Anyway, back to my little tea party.. yes,! everybody love this.. Heh! heh! heh!.. this with a hot cup of moroccon mint tea....

Hahahaha!! Yes, blueberry macarons with tangy cream cheese filling.. what can I say?? Addictive dont even come close to it!!

These are sold at RM3.50 each with a minimum order of 20pcs.

Remember I said that I will be creating a lot of new flavors once I get my hands on these yummy new flavors from across the little sea?? Hehehehe.. so, here we go.. This is my first creation... Raspberry & Cream...

This is one flavor that I have always wanted to have but couldnt find it over this land and when I found it across the little sea down south, I grab it! Hehe... the flavoring paste smells simply heavenly.. very natural and the best part is that it doesnt color, so, I can actually add my own coloring. Hehehehe.. Anyway, I am very cautious about flavoring..they are unpredictable!! They can smell heavenly nice and sweet but when you add them into your food, it might just turn into something else! I think it's all about chemistry... hmmm.. Anyway, I only wanted a hint of the flavor so, I was careful not to add too much... a slight hint will entice and tempt the palate.. but a strong dose will just remind the mind of cough mixture! Hehehee..

So, these little delicate morsel of macarons are delicately flavored and paired with rich and creamy cream cheese frosting with a twist! A little lemon is added to give it an addictive edge and a hidden treasure of raspberry jelly is added to give it a jewel effect.

These are sold at RM3.50 each with a minimum of 20 pcs..

With the current Royal Wedding fever building up, every young girl's dream is to be a princess and have fairytales..aaaaaahhh... I have quite a few orders for such theme!! Watch out for my next creation.. Casle and princess! Anyway, back to my story, I wish life is as simple and plain like fairytales. I recently watched the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles and noted how blushing and radiant and happy the bride and groom were... yes, watch it to see that Charles didnt look like he is sad or didnt want to marry Diana. I suppose at that moment, he did! but for some reasons only known to them, he couldnt sail the storm of life... so, even the royalties are not spared of the reality of life.... Aaaaahhh..... life!!

Anyway, the above is the request of a 5 years old girl.. She wanted Princesses and fairytale.. hehehe.. and specifically chocolate and must be pretty! Hahahahahaa... And her wish came true.. a set of rich chocolate cupcakes with orange cream cheese frosting.. yes!!! wanted to try something different.. hence the orange and cream cheese frosting and my! oh! my! it is explosive!! The frosting is tangy but not tart.. sourish and blend well with the taste of cream cheese making it light and fun to eat.. and together with the cake.. it was awwweeesooommeee!!!

This set was sold for RM6.00 each with a minimum of 16..

I wanted something exciting with my chocolate macarons.. I wanted something that is earth shattering! Hehehe.. at first, I wanted to pair these chocolate macarons with something unusual like chilies..yes, you heard me.. chilies. It's a rage in europe!! chilies and chocolates are the most happening thing since platform shoes... hehehe.. but since I was out of chilies and have yet to do my little research on what chilies to use, I ransacked my fridge for something I could use to make the cream and lo and behold!! I saw something I know it will give my chocolate macarons some excitement...

It is an orange.. the skin was so orange and fragrant and I know the fruit is juicy with the right balance of sweetness and tanginess.. I also know that orange and chocolate is like day and night but they are meant for each other! Hahahaha.. so, off I went to create an orange daiquiri cream.. it wasnt easy.. I had to balance the consitency with the sweetness and tanginess.. I like it really tangy.. really citrusy orange.. not just flat out sweet.. but with a balance of sweetness. So, after an hour of mixing.. I got this cream... a cream cheese base flavored with a very zesty and citrusy orange flavor... Delicious!

And together.. it is refreshing and delicious! Together, they make a happy pair.. hehehehe.. again, such pair are addictive... at RM3.50 each for a minimum order of 20!! Yay!!

This is a hummingbird cake fashioned into a birthday cake for a grand lady of 82 years old! She, the birthday girl, loves hummingbird cake and what a treat it would be for her.... Her daughter threw her a surprise birthday party and I heard she was thrilled to bits...

This hummingbird cake is a southern cake with bananas from my garden, pecan nuts, crushed pineapple bits nicely flavored with cinnamon and top off with cream cheese. Yes, those tiny flowers are made of cream cheese.... This was sold for RM110.

Lalalalalaa..... lalallaa... life is good!! Heh! heh! heh!... since Christmas season ended, I have been having a good time taking things easy and working on new things at my leisure pace... Life is good... Have a look at some of these yummies I have created for my clients...

This is lychee & rose water cream.. Lychee macaroons are simply addictive and a sell out! Partly because lychee blends well with almonds and so does rose water. Partly because lychee is always some yummy to have no matter what mood you may be.

Lychee & Rose water cream...

Peaches & Cream.. this reminds me of my time! Wahahahahaha.. I love the color and flavor... peaches is something that goes very well with cinnamon and for this, a very light hint of cinnamon has been added and it simply open a new whole dimension to peaches...

As for the cream, I used cream cheese and it is simply yumms when combine with peaches lightly flavored with cinnamon is out of these world!

Strawberry & Cream.. ahhh.. this is every girl's dream to have strawberries and cream! I think it is something to do with the heady taste of strawberries combine with the smooth and creamy taste of cream that gives every girl that pampered and loved feeling... Hehehe.. This is another addictive flavor.. Pop one and you will not stop until it is all gone!

Strawberry & Cream...

Life is definitely good with my cream range of macaroons.... Life cannot get any better.. Woo Hoo!!

I was in a very arty farty mood when I created this cheesecake. I wanted something to suit the friend I was making this cheesecake for. It was a friend whom I have known for 25 years!! This friend always reminded me of something that is fanciful and fun and I had this idea of having strawberry compote swirl together with blueberry and apricot puree on a cheesecake and the look was exactly what I would like to make for my friend.

The taste of this creation is also simply divine.. The 3 different types of fruits in its different texture combine very well with the cheesecake I made which is light and luxurious. The whole effect is further enhanced with a chocolate cookie base. As for the taste, I must say it is terribly yummy... I took 2nd helping!! Wakakakakaka...

This cheese cake is priced at RM95.

This is a chestnut cheesecake.... Well, the story is that I saw these really huge and delicious looking chestnuts in the market and couldnt resist!!! The chestnuts were just calling out to me.."buy me! buy me!"

So, I lost the battle and bought the huge and delicious looking chestnuts... boil it and had a great time eating them. They were very luxuriously yummy.. sweet and creamy. Hmmm... however there is just so much I can eat and there are still some leftover looking at me.. and that got me thinking....tick! tick! tick! tick!

And this is what I made... pureed the chestnuts.. mix them into a dense cheesecake recipe and for added fun, added some chopped chestnuts at the base.. bake it and viola!! I must say, the chestnut flavor isnt too pervalent.. just a right amount in taste and flavor.. it made the cheesecake even more luxurious..but not in a gooey thick and hard to eat type.. It made the cheesecake a yummy treat!

I should think this is quite good for people who like a cheesecake with no frills.. You know, no whipped cream, no fancy deco or funky methods to make.. To me it is good for afternoon tea parties..

Try it.. this is sold only during this chestnut season at RM90... After the season, I dont think I will be selling this as commercial chestnut puree cost more than both my arms and legs!!

Decided to have smething different for lunch today and made this using filo pastry with Gruyere and moazarella cheese with lots of rocket and basil and juicy tomatoes. It's relatively easy to make, the only tedious part is the lining of filo pastry but it is all worth it as the whole makeup is simply delicious!

I have a feeling that this is superb for parties and tea... Hmmm....

These are for LeeAnn and she is One up! Yes, her first birthday and her mama wanted something special... Banana Lime cupcakes with Lime Cream cheese frosting. Her mama was not too keen on fanciful fondant so, I made some simple cute animals for LeeAnn.

These were sold at RM5.50 each with a minimum order of 16 cuppies.

The weather is simply horrible nowadays. It's hot! blazing hot and really bright. The air is humid and heavy and even if there is breeze, it is hot to my skin!! Global warming is definitely happening here. Sigh... I hate such weather.. give me the rain anytime... oh ya.. come to think of it, I cannot remember when was the last time we had rain.. oh! oh!

Anyway, this is what I made to pacify myself during such horrible time... A very rich cheesecake that is flavored with lots of lime! It is tangy and refreshing, it doesnt give you that heavy feel when you eat it.. The best part is the balance of the richness from the cream cheese and tanginess from the lime. Oh! the crust has crushed macadamia too! Yes, you will be able to stop at a slice!

This is definitely a great dessert during hot times or if you are planning a heavy meal at RM90.

Anyway, I had some leftover blueberries from my yesterday's fruit tarts and decided to make myself a blueberry cheesecake. Nothing earth moving except the fact that I made my cheesecake "eating friendly". I swirl the blueberry filling onto the cream cheese and added loads of fresh blueberries on top. To beautify it further, I drizzle just the right amount of blueberry filling on top of the cake to make it yummy. Yes, I am not crazy with the idea of sticky and sweet blueberry dripping and gooing all over my cheesecake. I hate the fact that it's messy to eat and beinig clumpsy, I am most certain that my shirt will hold testimony of me having something blueberry!

So, something common and old from me... A blueberry cheesecake to remedy grumpiness at RM95... By the way, I added a sprinkle of magic in the blueberry cheesecake.... making it addictively yummy....
