Here’s some progress from today to show that I’m not dead. xD
Macaron-making mania. xP
From top to bottom: macha, plain (for passionfruit filling) and gingerbread. ^^ They were made in that order, so yeah, you can see my progress. Feet slowly getting less ruffled and more… macaron-y foot-y. xP
Sorry for the long absence. >.< Spent the last few weeks making macarons like crazy…
I wanted to make some passionfruit curd for a new macaron flavour, so I guess I might as well share that. XD
Here you go, fresh, homemade passionfruit curd. ^^
Homemade hand-whipped marshmallows.
Wow, that was some work-out, rewarded with “cleaning” the bowl… with a spoon. >w<
Yes, they are triangle-shaped… I think outside of the box. xD
I was watching a bit of Antique Bakery the other day and realised that I’ve never made choux a la creme before. (yeah, I used a fancy word for “cream puff”, what do you wanna do?) xDD
So, I made some mini puffs this morning and 5 mysteriously disappeared while cooling… -licks cream off lips- I swear I don’t know what happened to them… xD
I filled them with some hazelnut praline pastry creme I made the other day.
My mom and I recently started a Macaron business and if you don’t mind, please follow our Macaron tumblr as well. It would really mean a lot to me. ^^
From now on, all of my macaron pictures will be posted on that account.

Thanks so much! <3
There has been amazing progress so far, I’ll post up pictures soon.
Thank God that I have a background on meringues, otherwise I think it’ll be 100000000000 times harder. xD
Maracon~
This was my first attempt and though they somewhat resemble walnuts, they taste good~~~ =DDD I’ll be sure to improve. You haven’t seen the last of these tasty babies. =D
Mocha Macarons with Mocha Ganache. <3
My cheesecake has gotten a lot of compliments, so I decided to share with you the recipe and how I did it. =D
Check it out at my blogspot.
Smooth, yummy marbled New York cheesecake.
I know this isn’t really considered “baking”, but you never know when you’re gonna need a bunch of croutons. =D Just in case you have leftover bread, just made a salad or (if you’re odd like me) you can eat ‘em as a snack. xD
If you’re interested how to make your own cheap, less-than-a-dollar croutons, you can read about it on my blogspot.
Pavlovas and most meringues are known for being “crispy on the outside and marshmallowy on the inside”, but I like my pavlovas dry all the way through. After a bit of experimenting, I’ve managed to make a perfectly crispy and melt-in-your-mouth pavlova without any chewy toffee-like bits and eggy fluff in the middle. (of course, if you like it soft and fluffy inside, good for you ^^)
I posted a how-to on my blogspot, so if you want a crisp pavlova, be sure to check it out. =D
Recipe, why have you betrayed me??? D=
Edit: Oh, nevermind. It turned out fine. xD
