Honey rolls - 2nd try

The rolls came out slightly more even sized than 1st try, but my glazing/egg wash was not quite right, instead of a shiny top, it looked so dull..

Banana Chiffon

Tried my hand at the Banana Chiffon cake, following the recipe from Chef Judy, adapted for 9" tin. I did not mash my banana finely and my cake turned out very blemished.. with splotches of banana interpersed throughout the cake... taste was okay, but I still prefer the citrus chiffon cake!

Looks like I need to work on my photography skills.. or I need a better camera huh...;)

Honey Rolls

My maiden effort at making bread rolls by hand... was inspired by Raph's mummy (our ShiFu! ~ recipe from her too) who baked beautiful yummy bread. I must admit my skills are quite lousy, the rolls are so unevenly sized!! I used soy milk and raw honey and the rolls turned out soft and nice, but looking quite ugly .. haha... for once Pi Pi's daddy didn't complain that home baked bread was yucky and dense.

More bread rolls next weekend! :)

Citrus chiffon cake

I had intended to do my favourite orange chiffon cake using the KA... in the end I had to use my small hand held Philips to whisk the egg whites (took ages!!) after the KA died on me.

Max's mummy shared this great recipe with us and the cake turned out soft and springy and smelling wonderfully citrusy! I thought it was a little too sweet, but the others liked it. The kids loved the cake and the best part was, Por Por actually gave a thumbs up for the texture! :) :)

Hmmm... how come my chiffon cake is domed when those sold outside are flat on both ends?

I have lots of strawberries in my fridge... wonder if I can make a strawberry chiffon cake? haha..

KaPuT....mummy is heartbroken..

My beloved KitchenAid mixer went "POP" this morning and Pi Pi's daddy says it is a GONER... all because I went to use it at 5 am in the morning and plug it into the wrong outlet on the transformer. The refridgerator power tripped and my transformer fuse fizzled out. *SOB SOB SOB*.. and this is only my 2nd time using it!

Pi Pi's daddy said luckily I didn't burn out the KA on "Li Chun" (the first day of spring??), else I will be burning out the appliances at home for the rest of the year.. *&&^%$#...

Raph's mummy suggested I bring the KA to Mayer for a check and hopefully able to repair it... I really hope so!! else it feels like I have just flushed an iPhone down the toilet :(
