Salted Caramel


I love salted caramel, it's the best filling for macaron. (Haha, a personal preference) I can go into a shop that sells macarons with all kind of fillings and be so spoiled for choices but I'll never ever give that salted caramel one a miss. If you have never tried a salted caramel macaron, you have to get one right now! And after you've tried, there's no turning back!

*CAUTION: Care should be taken when making caramel. They are extremely hot and will stick on skin when spilled or splattered causing serious burns! Wear long sleeve clothes if possible when mixing the cream in because it tends to splatter.

Bake and Shake: Meat Pie


Just a few weeks back, my friend wanted to learn how to make some meat pie so I've decided to teach her how. 
This meat pie puff pastry uses the same puff pastry as the one I used for my chicken pie, you can get the recipe here.




You can use any kind of meat and stock you want. But beef would be the best choice for this pie.

Hello Kitty Macarons (French Meringue Method)


I remember my friend once mentioned to me that the Hello Kitty trend is suddenly coming back, everyone is crazy over it and everything is made Hello Kitty. So I've decided to try making some Hello Kitty macarons. I know mine turned out rough on the surface because I didn't have my sieve with me so I couldn't sieve the almond and icing sugar. If you want to have smooth shells, sieve your almond and icing sugar mixture twice.

This macaron is done with a french meringue method.


I also made some round one with different expressions.

Fruit Tart



I had this huge craving for strawberry fruit tart sometime ago, I think it was because of the hot weather and so I've decided to make one.

I made the pastry cream the day before and the sweet short pastry in the morning so that the pastry is cool enough for me to put the cream and strawberries.

You can get the recipe for the pastry cream here and the recipe for the sweet short pastry here.

Sweet Short Pastry


I know it's close to almost a month since I last posted anything. I was busy with assessments and just right after assessment week Dad and Mum came over to spend time with me.

So I'll be sharing a Sweet Short Pastry recipe that I learn in school. This recipe can be used for making cookies and also for sweet tarts.







I always keep my scraps and make them into cookies (as shown in the picture). If you have enough scraps you can make small individual tarts instead.
