WEEKEND BAKES # 5

25/6/2017
SUNDAY


Lemon meringue tarts. 

I have been baking for cake orders through Sarah's friends mostly and here I wish to say a BIG THANK YOU for their support.  As I always want to give the best and to deliver fresh cakes, many times the leftover ingredients could be wasted and thrown away after a week in the fridge.  So this time, I found decided to use the leftover lemon curd to make these tarts.  

These were baked in the oven for around just 15 minutes (watching them nearby as they tend to brown rather fast). The short crust pastry were first baked blind for 15-20 minutes till golden brown and cooled. Lemon curd then goes in and top with meringue frosting. 


Braised tea leaves eggs, peanuts and yellow tofu ....

Green tea swiss roll with red beans and mascarpone cheese 

Had the Red beans paste and leftover mascarpone cheese and surprisingly it was a delicious match... 

Japanese Condensed Milk bread... BakeforHappy Kids Blog.
I tried the recipe last weekend and while during the final proofing, I fell asleep.....and result the bread has  overflowed  as stupid me, I had covered the lid of the loaf tin and boy, it was so difficult to remove the lid then! So this time, I shaped them into rolls and added some of the rum-soaked raisins and it was totally very good.

Banana Chocolate Rice cupcakes ..recipe from NasiLemakLover blog. 
Easy to make and taste yummy. 

trying to do white chocolate drip.... failed! A too thin ganache..
Strawberry shortcake - recipe from JustoOneCookbook. Instead of just using strawberries and whipped cream, I decided to give it a twist with the white chocolate drip.
So I added more white chocolate to the ganache to thicken and then coated the extra strawberries with it... tasty good as the strawberries though looking so red were actually rather tart.

  1. You are truly innovative and smart inside the kitchen. You should be opening a bakery shop by now. There will be no wastage for sure.

  2. Hahaha, I remember what my instructor told us at the baking course.."always scrape the last bit of batter into the cake, don't waste, it all adds to your profit/loss". So I really hate to waste anything.
