HURRY, WHILE DURIAN LASTS!

Durian Puffs

I'm quite proud of this, it looks quite professional right?

It's amazing how it can morph from some viscous liquid into an airy puff. I got such a huge shock when I gazed into the oven!

Anyway I love these choux pastry as they call it. It's simple, cheap and very very interesting. I can think of a million fillings to put into them. But I think I need a better durian filling recipe. The current one doesn't taste that good.

In any case, I think fiona is going back to the kitchen once more.

Kueh Bahulu 2

Second attempt! Much better than the first but I think it would be best if I could get a new mould. Apparently why it keeps sticking to the mould is due to the lousy mould. But otherwise, it's pretty yummy!

Jodee's Birthday

She's 17 on 4/9/09!!

I made her a cheesecake, it was my first attempt and 3I said it was GOOD!

It could be a potential selling cake too, for those who just wants something simple and who absolutely adores cheese. In any case, I hope Jodee will continue to have many many more wonderful birthdays and now that she has got hooked onto baking too, we can open up our shop if we can't make it past promos.

It's our secret backup plan.

Happy birthday my dear friend! You know I love you, even though you can't remember the words on the cake. XD

Ming Jie's Teachers' Day present

Because tomorrow is a day for teachers, an old friend of mine decided to show them her love. So she came over this rainy sunday and together we baked chocolate cupcakes. I think she got inspired by my happycakes!

They are very soft and delicious. It's a very good cupcake recipe. But I wonder why it erupts like a volcano. Probably due to the chocolate rice inside?

Err the words screwed up a bit, but aiya whatever right.

Finished product! Those in the container are for her class, the lucky people.

So because it's a really good recipe, I'm going to post it! How exciting.
