Lemon Cupcakes

These were made from the Hummingbird Bakery Book ^_^



Okay! We all know that the chef at these top bakeries will not just publish their "secret" recipe, instead they are all written up by food writer. *ahem*

Still, they are very delicious to eat! Probably not as good as what you can get at Hummingbird Bakery. =X

I can't wait to go London to visit the Hummingbird Bakery shops!

Carrot Cupcakes

Made these carrot cupcakes for my lovely old school friends!



I made a delicious cream cheese frosting for these cupcakes!


I shaped my sugarpaste into little carrots for the extra decoration to complete the look! ^_^

Blueberry Yogurt Tuiles

I'm learning how to make Tuiles. Basically, its a thin crisp sweet wafer cookie. Originally from France, 'tuile' means tile in French, and is named after the shape of French roof tile it is supposed to resemble.

I made mine in shape like a wafer cup.... topped some blueberry yogurt and blueberry compote that I made.

Voila...



Pretty good for the first try! ^_^ These Tuiles are really thin and have to be watched over carefully while in the oven or it will burn. While they are still warm right out of the oven, have to quickly shaped them... else if they cool, it cannot be shaped anymore or it will snap.

I love Tuiles! ^_^

Enjoy!
