Cheese Patties..... kids loves it hot.

Pastry-Tuna and Cheese Puff

The usually tuna puff pastry..... but this one topped with cheddar cheese.

This is how you twist the pastry for cheese sticks

Nice golden brown..... so remember if you have excess pastry dough this is what you can use them for...... Cheese Sticks..... kids love them

Cupcakes - Ben 10 (Airbrush)

This time Mabel ordered another set of cuppies for his son Joel, so this time I decided to do an airbrush.... technique taught by my sifu Tan See Fong. Airbrush technigue actually saves time and excess buttercream after mixing colour. All you need is to prepare the plain cuppies and colour them with airbrush.

Pastry-Pithivier and Canolli

Bon Apetite!!! Bonquor!!
Almond filling Pithivier originates from France...... this pastry recipe uses butter instead of pastry margarine. More healthier..... no trans fat but needs to refrigerate each fold. Five minutes before baking time to sprinkle icing sugar and re bake till the glossy look.



Canolli.... originates from Italy... Sicily. With cream filling custard.... choc chips. The dough is deep fried and later dipped with chocolate on each sides and piped with filling. Taste like ice cream.... another Italian dessert.... Mamamia!!!
