Dark Chocolate Moelleux

DSC_0219Hello everyone! So I missed my weekly posting last week due to the fact that I’ve been overwhelmed with truckloads of work (schools’s ending so I’ve awesome lot of presentations & finals ’round the corner).

I made a post on my Facebook page that there’d be a 5-week hiatus and that I’d be back when exams are all over.

However, I’ve still got one recipe to feed your hungry eyes.

It’s one from Master Patissier, Eric Lanlard, the Cake Boy himself!

This was a work stint for PoachedMag and a really enjoyable hands-on class. Lanlard was supremely friendly & didn’t hesitate to help out anyone who needed help. Yes, we didn’t have any machines. So everyone had to cream their butter by hand. I think I was the only female in the class who could do it. Three cheers for LCB no machine training back in June ^^

So if you’d like to see how this was made, feel free to head down PoachedMag for the Dark Chocolate Moelleux recipe!

It’s Halloween!!!

& we have one of the more eerie festivals of the year – Halloween!

 In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. – Mean Girls

This is one of my favourite quotes about Halloween (comes as no surprise as it is one of my favourite chick flicks of all time). Well, if Halloween is the time for people to dress up and girls to look like total sluts and get away with it, then Halloween is the time for lovers of dessert-making, like myself, to experiment and get crazy in the kitchen.

Pillowy Pandan Chiffon Cake

School work has really been piling up. With it being the third last week of school, the number of assignments, projects, presentations and all sorts of miscellaneous stuff is endless.

In the midst of all this stress, baking is probably my only comfort. My friends find it weird that instead of spending my time studying or chasing my work, I’m instead, baking away in the kitchen. I wouldn’t say that baking isn’t time consuming. But really, it doesn’t take up that much time (especially when you have help to clean up hehehe). It’s a great stress reliever and while I don’t really eat much of the stuff I make (gasp!), feeding other people makes me feel really happy.DSC_0153 (more…)
