Sticky Buns & Bread
Since i've started work i havent got time...but now that i got alittle free time...i did some baking.
These are sticking rolls waiting to rise before going into the oven. :))
The thing is...according to the recipe i left them in the fridge overnight to rise..but i honestly think it rose too much so the next time i'll maybe let it rise for 2hrs before baking.
I should add more sugar cinnamon in the centries..and more syrup on top!! hahah wasnt enough.
Sticky buns arent as good when they come out from the oven..they taste better when they cooled for an hour or so :)
Bread Rolls...i followed a channel 16 travel and living show..i think its Rachael ____ : Bake! haha i forgot her name.... anyway it turn out nice...

Loaves...unfortunately my sister was cooking ribs with the bigger pan so i could only use the pizza pan to bake my bread...and they conjoined together!! lol...baby loaves..so cute.
I love them...If you like the reciepe i can post it the next entry...im just wondering if i should do a tutorial version of it. hmmm should i or not?
XOXO

Lemon Meringue Pie
This is a mini Meringue pie.. actually its not that tall i just placed it on a souffle bowl so that it looks nicer haha!!
Out of stress from exams, i needed time off..i decided to make lemon meringue pie but ended up with lemon as well as chocolate+raspberry pie fillings.
Did u know squeezing and grating 4 big lemons needs alot of work! so damn tired.
Horrible table setting..actually its just my room.

My personal notes...collections of things i love.
Initially i was quite dissappointed with the pie cos the cream didnt seem to thicken even after i baked it.. i though i failed but after i refrigerated it last night..i took it out this morning and the texture was really nice...the taste was sweet and tangy i love it.

It turned out more like lemon cream than curd.

Cake fest!
I duno why or wat has gotten me into a cake baking frenzy...
This is the 2nd cake i've bake in this week...well i didnt bake it...my sister did...i meerly just decorated the cake.
She wanted this cake for her boyfriend's grandmothers 85th birthday! lol The strawberries were add ons by her bf.
I thought this cake turn out really gorgeous (better looking in actual view) except i haven quite prefected doing the sides that well.. i Love the pastel colors and all..v romantic...
Kenny(her bf) said it looks like a wedding cake.
Anyway i found out the cake didnt go too wellwith the crowd...cos it was too sweet for some...singaporeans dont have a thing for sweet western pastries...anyway i think its cos the whipped cream has sugar...i didnt ssee...i bought the one with sugar inside already :P my bad!
My failure attempt to do a fresh cream flower. haha
A dollop of love on a sweetheart strawberry.

Je fais un gâteau de chocolat!
Mid night cravings have left me mad for chocolate (not to mention the monthly business)
Therefore fast approaching midnight...i risk the fact that i may as well gain 2kgs from this...I BAKED A CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR MYSELF!!
Oui! Merci!
I like the outcome of the cake...dark and moist inside...with a layer of raspberry jam...and choclate buttercream! The cake deco..well not much thought was put into it..but it look damn cute....its a waysided cake..but who cares if the goal is to swallow it asap!
Tea at 1am anyone?
