Haha. Honestly, I haven quite fully recovered from the fun since Christmas.. All that fireworks, Baking, Carnival, Sleepovers, Chilling, Shopping, Binging, movie marathons, drama marathons... But I realise if I don't post the huge backlog of bakes during Christmas, it's gonna be CNY in no time.
Anyway bear with me..
Cookies.. the standard during every Christmas. I made gingerbread cookies using all these tools and cutters unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the final product.
Next up, my all time fav fruit cake. Haha This time people complained the portion shrank.
This was my virgin attempt at baking log cakes. Haha Could tell that they were quite deformed and the cake cracked at the corners...
This was my 5th attempt (below). Didn't have a pic of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th one.. All I could remember was one had strawberry filling, the other matcha filling and the 4th one was a flourless swiss roll ( I would have liked this one better if it was a component of a cake but definitely not for a swiss roll because it is unable to stand the weight of the ganache pressing on it)
6th attempt: Chocolate swiss roll with dark cherries and chocolate meringue buttercream ;)
7th Swiss Roll:
8th Swiss Roll: with sparkling silver freckles
9th: The reason for the additional log on the top was because the swiss roll looked smaller than the other one I made. Nevertheless, I think it made the cake look nicer.
10th Cake!! This was for a mega party of 30. I wanted to include a gingerbread house masterpiece into the picture but due to time constraints, I had to do without ;[. The same cake as above just with additional varlhona crunchy pearl balls and Krispie Christmas tree and a snow floor.
The tree so chocolatey, I wish I could bite off it.
Last but not least, a SWISS- NO cake. Made from pure love, joy, peace and patience- a brownie cake with chocolate mousse and ganache.
That's my little story to tell this Christmas. What's yours ;)
