Hari Raya Cookies!!!!!!!!

Blueberry Tart. I went to Bakewell ingredients store the other day, saw the "blueberry filling for cookies" and later remembered Ita's Delight was also conducting the class for blueberry tart. Since I didnt have the recipe, decide to create my version of the blueberry tart and to my surprise my brother love it.

Petites Fours

For the past 2 weeks we practised on Petite Four cakes. Petites Fours-A French term used to describe a multitude of small daity confections and biscuits - no longer than one or two bites most commonly served with the coffee at the completion of dinner or lunch. The word Petite means little and Fours means oven in French. Carefully observe the importance of layering jam, marzipan as a lamination between the cake base and fondant. The proper procedure of melting the fondant and steps to achieving to consistency and gloss. For topper we used marzipan ornaments..... fruits, royal icing... it up to your creativity.
For the base we used heavy Genoese, the texture is lesser crumbs compared to butter cake and the method of whipping the eggs and sugar is slightly different, at the intial stage we manually eat the egg on a double boil which is also known as Sabayong.

You can also decorated it with chocolate decor designs.

Hari Raya project 1

Despite the sad news today - the passing of my cousin, I stole the extra time to fulfill my what I wanted to cover this weekend. Even though there are ready made pineapple tart fillings in the market, I choose to do it the traditional way, just like my mum did since 50 yrs ago. So as usual this festive, I will open my mum's 50 yrs recipe book to do the traditional tarts, daliah, marble cakes, caramel cakes, wajik, dodol,,,,, etc.

Thanks to mum my mentor, who never stop encouraging to bake.......... I once heard people said the best way to sing is just simple singing, and I guess when you apply it to baking the best way to bake is from your heart.
