Purple Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Figuring out that diet and sweets basically dont match exactly. I suppose many are facing these problems. Its a life long battle for people who loved to eat. But we all also that the speed of our in take can never defeat the little calories we burned at gym. 

I only need 15 mins to intake 600 Calories EASILY.. hahha 

But I would requires load of work hard, an hour ish of high intensity workout in a gym class or 1.5hrs jog. 

So being a baker, I would definitely love to eat what I have made and created in my kitchen. Counting calories isn't really the best. 

Thats why I have made a very healthy complex carbs dessert to replace BUTTERCREAM. 

This is the closest texture that can be piped into flowers that I like to recreate. 

This flowers have taken the pastries industry by storm. They have always been popular but ever since the Korean reinvent the way they look from the American style. 

Everyone is basically posting and learning this style of decoration techniques.

My midnight indulge.

At first I was worried how the turn out will be, 

end up the silky texture and light cheesecake blends in really well. At least my family thought so. 

Maybe will try with Chiffon cakes too.

Simple Love Story: A Seaside Cake

It's for 19th Feb, I love baking for special occasions. It gives me additional boost to plan, design and execute the cake. As me and my Bf had just came back from a beach getaway. I thought why not a beach theme cake, since I yet to make before. I used crushed digestive biscuits as the sandy beach. Some two tones blue colored cream cheese frosting and simple piping to depict those lovely waves. I love deep blue sea, but I personally dislike to eat too much coloring. So I always try to use minimum but at same time try to achieve the color I want (give & take abit). I made a 3 tier cake to make it look impressive. A very simple Chocolate recipe for a moist and fluffy cake (which I will post soon). The cake is sandwiched by a vertical rainbow layer cake. The usual horizontal one are #mainstream =P . I think the appearance of this cake is by far my most beautiful looking piece. And I am very pleased about it. Baking makes me happy. I really really want to pursue this path, finger crossed I am heading LeCordonBleu to learn it professionally.

Pineapple Tarts 2014

Some of my relatives love flacky chewy texture pineapple pastry. Some loves melt-in-the-mouth ones. I personally prefer the melt-in-the-mouth. These little ones are flacky types which are quite suitable for open face design. Because of the texture it can be hold and grip without shattering into mini bits. So I made about 700pcs or so for about 6-7days in total, from purchasing of ingredients to making the dough, chilling them in fridge before they can be used.  Its definitely not easy as I have spent whole 12 hours rolling the dough, weighing           the pineapple fillings. Each individual are like newborns for a baker. =)

Love this recipe because instead of full favor from just cream cheese, the tofu and yogurt gives this dessert a very smooth and creamy yet LIGHT and refreshing.
