Attended a baking class at Creative Culinaire this afternoon with my sis (cousin YL had a last-minute appointment and had to forgo attending the class).
Initially when I was looking out for mooncake-baking classes, I was looking specifically for classes teaching us how to bake the traditional mooncakes (for The Hubby, who loves the traditional baked […]

How time flies! I’m already into my last lesson of the cake module. And the last lesson, we will be baking muffins!
I’m quite a huge fan of muffins, and had been looking forward to this lesson for quite a while because I’m sure the recipe will be somewhat different from the other recipes I’ve tried so […]

The grand finale of the pastry-making class I have been attending… Choux (pronounced as “shoo”) pastry! Don’t the cream puffs, chocolate eclairs and swan pastries look delectable? Yummy!
Choux pastries are a lot easier to bake than I imagine them to be. But I seriously need more practice in learning how to pipe the roux. The […]

Learnt how to prepare and bake puff pastries during baking class on Saturday namely: - tuna puff, cream horn and danish pastries - using the 3/4 pastry method.
It was quite an eye-opener. Never knew that the laminating of the fat required that much work, not to mention the time required between the folds to allow […]
