Foodelicious!

This has been in fashion for the longest time but I was just too busy with work and baking to have time to try it out. So, during the recent Raya holidays, I finally had time to do some experiments and was very pleased with my artwork. Hehehehe... and yes, will be making more of such fun rolls.

For this first time experiment, I made simple hearts and dots pattern and slap on home made buttercream and strawberry compote as filling. The end result was pretty! Hehehehe.. I am now thinking of other designs I can make for this fun rolls. Oh yes, the sponge cake is superb.. old fashion sponge cake with no chemical enhancers added on but yet soft and moist. That's what I like.

Will there be more?? Hehehee.. oh yes!

So, when the many fruits started to ripe all at once, I had a challenging time as to how to use up the passionfruits and that's when I remembered eating this awesome marshmallow from dish restaurant. Thus, I set out on my quest to make that same awesome marshmallows.. Hehehehe...

What I never like about marshmallows is that it's simply SWEET! I could never stomach the sweetness, although I consider myself as someone who can take quite a bit of sugar.But I like is the cloud like texture and in the case of marshmallow from dish restaurant, I simply like the melt in the mouth and tangy taste. It was love... hahahaha.. so, the first two rounds of marshmallow making was not quite successful. Partly could be that I cut down on the sugar.. and partly could be that I am impatient. Hehehehe.. will go disturb and cut up the marshmallow before it's time. I was more or less successful on the 3rd round...

This time around, I added back on some of the sugar (decreasing the sugar by only 100gm instead of 200gm) and adjusting the liquid, I was very encouraged with the outcome. And this round, I was patient, letting it set and ready before I sink my knife into the spongy, cloudy marshmallow. The taste is simply simply awesome. I love the tanginess of the passionfruit making it not sickly sweet, although, yes, it was still too sweet for me. Texture wise, it was so good... hehehehee.. now I know why children loves such things.. it's like a dream...

I am so happy with myself.. I finally succeeded in my quest.. I dont think I will sell this as our weather is not cooperative and let's face it.. seriously, who actually will want to gobble up so much marshmallows??? Hehehehe...

Each cake was sold at RM145 with ribbons and box. Yes, the box is no big shake but with less than 3 weeks to go, one cannot expect miracles! But anyway, my friend's boss was very happy with the cake and so were their clients..

The bunny is 3D!!! I found this cake pan that could make 3D bunny and grab it and enticed my customer to order this since she wanted something special for her son's first birthday. To add on, I made the bunny in vanilla butter cake sandwiched with lemon curd and coconut buttercream. The taste was just simply out of this world! Hahahahahaha.. my customer called and told me that everyone wanted to know what flavor was the cake.... 

As for the garden piece, it was in chocolate buttercake and that was whalloped by the kids in a jiffy. 

This cake weigh in at 3kg and was sold for RM320.

This is my first attempt at Wonky cake and trust me when I say it's a sweaty work! Hahahahaha... It's not easy to construct the Wonky part.. gotta have some calculation done and architect experience to make sure the cake dont topple or break. Anyway, it was a very very good experience and I am glad I made it. Hahahahaha.. the cake didnt toppled or break or slant or fell off and the birthday girl was simply thrilled to bits when she saw her cake.

This chocolate butter cake weigh in at 3.8kg was to serve 120 guests and was sold for RM400. For the 7 hours of work, I must say it's cheap!
