Still in Baking Mode!

Yup, more baking! Baking is so much fun and satisfying, well... at least when they turn out the way I want them to...

So I finally made a durian cheesecake. I really like the recipe because the cream cheese taste isn't so strong (if you can taste it at all) and did not dominate the cake. Yup, it's not about the cream cheese, it's all about the DURIAN! I know... this ain't exactly everyone's favourite cake flavour, but I love it!

And I was right, LP smelled durian from miles away! Even though I cleaned up everything before he came home that day, he still smelt durian (or in his words "cat pee").


Green tea yogurt mousse chiffon cake...


Yea... you must have noticed by now that I'm a fan of anything and everything green tea! I guess it was also because I bought a package of green tea powder. Each recipe only needs maybe 4-6 tablespoons of green tea powder, so might as well make more desserts with the rest of the package. My favourite so far is the Green Tea Yogurt Mousse Chiffon Cake.

And here's the cake from the last lesson of the cake decorating course I took...



I must say, I am the worse at the rose. We learned to do it over the course of 4 lessons, 1 step every week. Some people in my class got it right away. You've no idea how many roses I tired to make and how much time it took me to finally come up with 4 somewhat decent ones for my cake. I had a lot of fun in the course and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in cake decorating.

Well, this is all the baking I will be doing for now. I will be back to Montreal on Tuesday! Vacation is over... back to crazy work work work mode in Montreal. January Wedding Show preps, here I come!
