my first totally-handmade steamed egg cake. the egg-beating almost killed my arms. coz i didn't have a electric hand mixer. and since in the olden days they used only hand whisk anyway...so i thought i could try it. and well...the cake turned out nice so it's okay =)
and then there was my green tea red bean cake. it was better than the first time, but still a lot of room for improvement. will try cooking the beans like how we make the red bean sweet soup. and the sponge cake...gonna add more green tea and i'll have to remember not to overcook it and overstir the batter. oh and two layers of cake is totally enough. i'll jz have to make the red bean layer thicker. and i'm not gonna do the frosting anymore. coz i suck at it. and it doesn't really make it look nicer anyway.
(no pics coz i totally forgot)
then i experimented with fresh lemon for my cheese cake recipe. i really like it. that tangy lemon zest taste was really nice, fragrant. knowing how my parents don't like sour stuff...i was surprised they quite like it. in 10 minutes..half the cake was gobbled up among us ^^ gonna make it again with more zest. coz i like that zesty kick =)
oh well...my first pizza dough failed coz i added too much water. and this was my second dough. and it was okay. jz need to bake it a little more. and i need to work on shaping the dough. and add more cheese. and cook the sauce to taste before i use it.
i like baking. though sometimes it stresses me out if it doesn't turn out as expected. or when they have too many comments. but the moment i take it out of the oven, i feel happy, no matter how it turns out. it's therapeutic, and it fills my stomach and satisfies my taste buds XD
