Attended yet another of Joycelyn Shu’s workshop at Shermay’s. If you have been visiting Joycelyn’s blog, you would have read about her laborious undertakings to perfect the ‘jewel-like confections’, which she confesses to have quite a fixation on.
I myself missed quite a few perfect opportunities to taste these legendary cookie sandwiches made by some of the world’s best acclaimed pâtisseries […]

Attended a workshop conducted by Pastry Chef Hannah Wong of The Patissier at Shermay’s yesterday afternoon. There was no hands-on; it was just a demo and food tasting session.
On the whole, it was a rather hectic session, with Hannah rushing to complete all 3 cake recipes:- Tiramisu, Chocolate Fudge and Pavlova. I was barely coping […]

This post is long overdue. And I apologize for that. Frankly, I can’t even remember which day it was when I attended Valerie’s workshop to learn how to bake these delectable strawberry hearts.
Confession time. I have been meaning to make these strawberry hearts after attending the class but I have tons of excuses to give for […]

I’ve taken half-day leave from work again, to attend Joycelyn Shu’s cupcake workshop held at Shermay’s. This Level II workshop is of course a continuation from Level I workshop I attended 2 Fridays back.
I had initially thought that attendance in Level I is a prerequisite to admittance into Level II, but I obviously thought wrong. […]

I’ve caught on the cupcakes fever again, albeit a little late. It’s been such a long while since I baked cupcakes (last July, to be exact).
If you’ve been in the loop about the ‘flogger’ (food-blogger) scene in Singapore, you must have come across this website called Kuidaore by this lady called Joycelyn Shu. And, if you […]

This is how my kueh lapis turned out after trying out the recipe from Valerie’s workshop last night. I thought it doesn’t look too bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement. For one, I need to make each layer thinner so that there are more layers.
Oh well, I have to give myself some leeway. Afterall, it […]

Many visitors to my blog continue to ask me for the recipe of the jellyhearts. I feel compelled to repeat myself; I am not able to share the recipe because I am not able to obtain the permission of both the creator of the recipe or the person who shared it with me. I implore […]

I must be losing the touch. The ‘piglets’ I baked for The Hubby turned out looking really quite horrible. And I am quite upset about it.
The piglets cracked quite excessively. Let’s just say there are just way too many cracks for them to be acceptable. The colour was uneven, and even though the top was […]

As promised in this post, here’s the pictures of baked mooncakes after ’sitting around’ for 4 days.
Two of them are made by me, and the other two by my sis during the baking class. I’m not sure whose is whose now. And I can’t tell which two have the yolks either. The Hubby is not amused […]
