My Baking Repertoire

The following is a collection of things I have baked so far in 2012. I am constantly challenging myself and I am desperate for improvement!

Baguette - Still trying to work on a lighter, fluffier texture

Chocolate Pound Cake

Red Velvet Cupcakes (prior to frosting)

Red Velvet Cake with delicious cream cheese frosting

Leche Flan - a classic of mine!

Pistachio Caramel Easter Egg Slice

Cheese Soufflé

Intensely rich chocolate cake for my dog
Teddy and his brother Robbie's
1st birthday in April 2012

Chocolate Soufflé

Mango Chiffon Cake with buttercream icing
Mother's Day May 2012

The biggest challenge of them all - my husband's 29th
birthday cake! My very first time using fondant. It was a
double choc-chip choc-fudge cake. The F1 car is based
on Paul's favourite driver, Jenson Button's car.

It took several attempts to get the F1 logo dimensions right

Vanilla Angel Food Cake with Chantilly Cream

My very first attempt at macarons
I invented this flavour: strawberry macarons with a
dark chocolate ganache filling

Hazelnut meringue cake with strawberries
and cream and chocolate ganache
