I’m not quite sure what’s up with me. It seems that I have been hit by the cookies bug recently. I’ve been baking cookie after cookie. I used to shy away from baking cookies because I found them too ’simple’, but I’m now starting to appreciate the lesser work and lesser cleanup to be done after […]

Haven’t had the time to do much baking as work has started piling up. Nonetheless, I’ll try to do some baking at least once a week. And I’m really looking forward to the long weekend next week.
Cornflakes cookies are one of my many favourites during that festive season, and I have always wanted to try baking […]

Happy Mid-Autumn, my friends!
I haven’t been exactly updating the blog because I haven’t been doing much baking, apart from baking mooncakes. And I’ve had so many posts on mooncakes I decided not to blog about them anymore, excluding this final one of the whole mooncake saga.
I think I am super inefficient! I took so long […]

After a failed attempt, I’ve decided to try again with another recipe. Hopefully it turns out looking and tasting more authentic than my first attempt. I don’t have much time to make mistakes since Mid-Autumn Festival is next Friday and I have to bake a batch to go with the mooncakes for our relatives.

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 […]

For the rest of you who are […]

Had some friends over this evening to make some snowskin mooncakes together. There were 4 of us in total, so each of us made a different colour. All colours except for the green one (which is green tea flavour) had white lotus paste wrapped in them.
Aya did the white ones, Fen the green ones, Bun […]

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 […]

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 […]

This is for Ling, who wanted to know how the mould for the mooncakes I made in this post looks like…
Many thanks to Elyn, who has kindly consented to my using her picture.
Ling, the mould that I used was the yellow plastic mould above. You can see that it has a lever, so […]
