I've Been Away....
I've been away - but that doesn't mean that I haven't been keeping busy! Here are a few photos about what I've been up to for the past 2 years.Looking at the old photos kinda makes me wonder how did I have the nerve to put them up - they look so unpolished! Not that I'm so much more polished than I was before - I'm still pretty behind in many regards. But I think you would agree that I've improved somewhat over time.

Feeling very full now.

Currypuffs
I am a great believer in currypuffs. When I was young my mom used to make it all the time and this time I decided to get her to teach me how to do it, me being the ignorant goose that I am.Here they are:
Overall, was very pleased with it. The pastry used was just plain shortcrust and the filling is just chilli, potatoes and mince chicken with lots of onions.
I baked it to reduce the amount of oil in the currypuff - not that it makes currypuffs healthy. But at least I tried.
Can't wait to try making sardine rolls instead.

Strawberry and Blueberry Sponge Cake
After a long break I'm finally back. Really happy to be able to potter around the kitchen again.I've never had much success with sponge cakes but this turned out beautifully - probably because I used a better mixer than the one I had previously. I decorated it with whipped fresh cream and topped it off with strawberries and blueberries.
I love baking.

Strawberry Mango Cake
Yet another 21st birthday and I baked a cake. After careful consultation with the birthday boy, he concluded he wanted a mango cake. It's interesting - half the guys I know say they would love to have a mango cake for their birthday. Must be in the male genes.
I know - where are the mangoes???. The mango is inside the cake - sandwiched between two thick layers of whipped cream sweetened with icing sugar. The strawberries are basically dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. Oh, and I used cream cheese icing.
Cake in all it's glory and candles
Turned out quite well. Only gripe I had was that the cake wasn't moist enough. Also, didn't have much time and frantically used a fork to swipe random patterns at the side. Shall not do things last minute in the future.
