Failed Crepe Cake. =(

Not sweet enough pastry cream. Fail #1.

 I was so excited. I really wanted to make this. The recipe looked so easy. Another lesson to learn, must at least try/taste the thing before attempting to make it. As I have never eaten a crepe cake before, I had not idea whether the crepes were suppose to be thick or thin. =(

So I was happily and excitedly frying the crepes one by one without an inkling of how it should be.

 The process of assembling the cake. I also did not know how much sugar to add in as it was not given in the recipe. I was afraid it would be too sweet as the recipe said that sugar was to be added at each layer of the crepes. So I just sprinkled a little sugar and cinnamon on each layer.

I know it looks good. Not to say that it tasted bad but, due to the lack of sugar, and the crepes were too thick, tasted more like salty pancakes. Salty because the crepe batter had salt in it and no sugar. Weird, I know right.

But my sis liked it when she toasted the crepes and added honey and a little sugar, she said it tasted like pancakes. Which thankfully, a little sugar and honey could fix this otherwise disastrous "crepe cake".

So, I would like to announce, that this would be last baking spree for this month, or maybe two. =( One can only take that many disappointments. Remember the cheesecake? Yeah, sisters may like it but it was a far cry from the blueberry one that I made eons ago. =(


Have I lost my baking touch? =( *sad*

Cheesecake and couple pics.

Made cheesecake without an electric beater. =(

 Made cheesecake using the recipe from SORTED, Pris and Chris liked it but Mum and Dad felt that it was a little hollow. Wasn't my best cheesecake. The best cheesecake that I've ever made cost me almost RM60++. The recipe called for sour cream, this cream that cream. It was expensive but it tasted heavenly according to those who ate it. This cake totaled to a mere RM20++.

Had to make everything using hand. Didn't have my trusty electronic beater with me. =( It was tiring.

Looks good but not my best cheesecake. =(

Some couple pictures  just in case. I just realized that we seldom take pictures together. Not much of a camwhore  couple we are.

Japanese food and Mash & Bacon.

 Pip brought me to Yuzu in KLCC. Food was not bad. Price was a little bit pricey but the fish were FRESH! A must for Japanese restaurants.

Ordered the dinner set. The little teapot has soup in it! =) Such a nice surprise.

Unagi Roll! Yumzzz.

KL cell had a cook out the other day. Shook Yee and Ryan competed against each other in the Battle of the Patties! Shook Yee made potato tuna patties while Ryan made pork patties. Or was it beef? Can't remember but I just knew they both tasted delicious. 

Since it was a pot luck I made mash potatoes with bacon. Lots and LOTS OF BACON. =)

Ezra joked and said that he would bring Bacon and Potatoes. Hahah.

Didn't have a masher so had to use a fork instead. Arms grew muscles overnight thanks to the work out I got from mashing the potatoes by hand. XD

Don't mess with me, I mash potatoes with a FORK ALONE!

Muesli bar from KF/Pip.

Pip introduced this to me and even though I do not really like the chewing, I kinda grew to like it. Not bad for a girl who hates eating oats and almost anything healthy. I have indeed grown to love healthy stuff. =)


That's all. For now. Keep reading, more updates coming soon. VERY VERY SOON! Hahahaha.

Transformers Car.

 

Car that transform. Enuff said. XD

Cranberry Butter Cake.

Made Cranberry Butter cake as Chris was pining for it. Made this quite some time back. Sorry for the long absence. I will now cram all the activities that I have done for the past month into this blog. You can slowly take your time to read it at your own leisure. =)

Had to use honey to stick the dried cranberries on the cake. Just for show. =)

 

Packed and ready for delivery to Pip.

Good to be eaten on it's own.

According to Pip and my family, it tasted good but I felt that it was missing something. Lacking in butter taste and it was kinda too floury for my taste. But not a bad effort nonetheless.

That is all for this post. Keep reading to find out more eateries that I have made. =)

My apologies.

Sorry for the long absence.AGAIN. This time I am quite busy with my assignments. Lots to update though. Stay tuned!

Pancakes for tea.

Promised my sis that I would make pancakes for her, and I procrastinated for quite some time, till today. Finally she had her pancakes.

 

Made a whole stack of em.

Pancake face mask.

Pancake trouble!

Looks good, just missing slabs of butter and maple syrup.

Chris fooling around with her pancakes.

Well, that's all for now,dad's birthday is coming up soon. Will be celebrating it today though. Pip traveled to S'pore. =(  Missing him and feeling alone.

Haizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

On the bright side, I might be making Mille Crepe tomorrow.

Lots of pancake-like batter on top of each other sandwiched with lots and lots of whipped cream.
