Flower Pot

I forgot to upload this... Oooops..

I organised an afternoon for Be Gorgeous to a tea in October. An event which they raise money for a project called A-21: against human trafficking.

This cake was up for auction, which to my surprise, it was sold for $75 :) extravagant!!!!!!!

It is CHRISTMAS time!!!

Christmas time is by far the BEST time of the year. People are very generous about giving gifts, lots of yummy food, family and friends gathering together, and of course, our Father God gave his Son Jesus, so that we can have an eternal life and a relationship with Him!

This year, Shisei and I organised all the dishes. There wasn't a lot (I thought), but everything was prepared perfectly and extravagant!!

Watermelon and lychee cooler

Japanese egg salad - something that I just made it up LOL

This is really delicious and so simple - all it takes are cupee mayonaaise, egg yolks, salt and pepper. "SO SIMPLE, ITS PERFECT."

Wendy's Birthday/Be Gorgeous to a tea party 2010.

I believe I can fly

Le Papillon - The Butterfly

I watched Poh's kitchen few weeks ago. Emmanuel Mollois made this cake for Poh. It was just simply BEAUTIFUL. The chocolate mousse looks so sweet, the glaze is so glossy, the butterfly is so delicate... ALL I wanted was to put my hands in the TV and grab a bite to eat.

I modified the recipe a bit and did not use the exact ingredients, but everything is perfect! All I can say is - The acidity of the strawberry balanced perfectly with the bitterness of the dark chocolate mousse, the Papillon is a slightly big, but that's the title of the cake, it's gonna be outstanding!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PASTOR DREW!!!!

Macaroons

I have never tried a macaroon before. The reason I made these was because of Masterchef... getting a bit obsesse with this show. Anyway, they taste great.. a bit sweet, I think!!

I can't wait until next week. I am going to visit Adriano Zumbo's patisserie XD woohoo

Master Pasta

Salmon Ravioli with mushroom tomato sauce

I am in love... in love with my pasta machine!!

I was inspired by the Masterchef to make fresh pasta. (I was addicted!!) I bought the pasta machine for about 4 weeks now and have been make fettuccini and I was wanting to do something different..

Cath bought some smoked salmon and she wanted to have it with pasta. She gave me 2 hours to prepare the dish. So the clock started ticking, "chop, chop"...

With the freshly grown dill in our backyard, I added the dill in the pasta dough to make "dillie" pasta. With a twist, I then made ravioli.

The mushroom tomato sauce: fresh tomato, mushroom, bulb spring onion and garlic.

I left a bit of a mass in the kitchen at the end, but it was ALL FUN and tasty!! The other good news is that I made it in time with 1 minute to spare!!! AWESOMENESS

First time Pasta

Pasta - here I come...

I just bought a pasta machine - WOO HOO..

First time making pasta, it was LONG... it took me almost 2 hours to make 3 serves of pasta - the dough was too sticky and the rolling pin kept falling out, it was exhausting!

At the end I made carbonara, something simple. It was all worth it, the pasta was fresh and well cooked... LOVE IT!!
