Vanilla Custard Crepe Cake

After several attempts over the week, I am finally back up posting. This post had me excited and I desperately wanted to share it with you so badly. Have you ever been excited about something that you wish you could share it in an instant? I suppose luck isn't at my side as I kept having network issue. Oh! the agony.

Moving along, this is somewhat out of my comfort zone, and certainly well worth the effort. French Crepes are pancakes too, and in a much thinner and lighter form. Lately, there has been a craze here in Asia and possibly this originate either from the French or the Japanese or maybe a fusion of both. Anyhow, where it came from now has certainly driven me to further dig up the roots as they have come up with something so brilliant, transforming these light crepes into cakes. Layers and layers of french crepe, slathered with custard cream and topped with jam, glaze, or as simple as powdered sugar makes this my new found love for cakes. To start, and to many more to come, I am starting off with the basic classic love for VANILLA CUSTARD CREPE CAKE.

Almond Cinnamon Rolls wtih Maple Glaze

HAPPY FRIDAY y'all! As the week starts to whine down, I am in the mood of something warm, satisfying and full of flavour. To start off, the smell of blooming yeast, in the fluffy dough, while waiting for it to rise and double up in volume is truly intoxicating. You just know that the end result is going to be something so comforting and delicious. Enough to satisfy any crave. Oh! I truly love the smell of freshly baked bread out of the oven. Plus the hint of cinnamon, almond and butter mixed together just makes it a little special.

To many of you, this may just be a simple recipe, and may have baked rolls over the years but honestly, every single time when I yearned for a classic treat, I always go to my ALMOND CINNAMON ROLLS with MAPLE GLAZE.

Lime & Mango Sorbet

Hoorah.. the weekend is here again! Then it came and gone with the wind. Oh! can I now freeze time and enjoy every single second? With the heat wave making my head spin, I decided to get started with "work" by sitting down here on my cool living room marbled floor pondering on what could I possibly make to cool off? It has to be something refreshing, light, quick and delicious of course. How does LIME & MANGO SORBET sound to you? I think it's perfect!

Baking Recipe: White Chocolate and Pomegranate Mousse Tart

I have been really excited and have been holding back a while now. Ah! finally I get to share this recipe with all of you. When Foodbuzz and Frigidaire sent out an e-mail asking for us to share our favourite Spring recipes, I jumped right on it and was praying really hard to be selected. After all, I have always wanted to take part in some fun cooking or baking campaign and this is just perfect.

This is my chance to work with another of my favourite fruit: Pomegranate. I just love those rich tangy ruby gems. Throw a couple in the mouth and it feels like candy pops, popping away. Juicy, sweet and above all delish!!

My main focus for this recipe is to allow the Pomegranate to shine. It sure sounds like Spring and perfect to move into a Summer treat as well. Another main ingredient here is the luscious smooth white chocolate. In my opinion these two will work out as a perfect couple. Slightly sweet and sour....yummm!!

The tart is filled with fluffy white chocolate mousse with pomegranate curd swirls. I have also decided to make individual white chocolate and pomegranate mousse tart to tantalize my family's the taste buds; where the bright flavours of pomegranate awakens their senses in every bite.

I hope you will enjoy them as much I did making them for you. Caution: These tarts might have you asked for more; so make sure to stash some away. To finish off, the tart is then garnished with some fresh pomegranate for the extra bite and kick and some topped with whipped cream. Bright flavours and light, perfect for any time of day.
