moist chocolate cake

steamed.

so yesterday, after such a long long longggg time, i finally made a cake. note the word 'made'. not 'baked'. heheh. since we still haven't got an oven yet, i decided to try making steamed cakes.

banoffee pie

banana + toffee = banoffee = YUMMILICIOUS.



disclaimer: this is a long overdue post. i made this for the farewell party in adelaide during my last few weeks there. tears* because this pie is just THAT good, i've just had to share it here. tears*

i've known this dessert for already quite a while. but never got myself to eating it, nor taste it when i was offered some. i thought caramel + banana would be yucky, since i'm not that big a fan of banana-ish desserts. although everyone around me was telling me how heavenly good this thing really tastes.

i was like, whatevah dude.

until...

kek batik

or kek marie?



HELLO WORLD! okay, i haven't been updating my blog for quite a while now. i've been really really busy with wedding stuffs: newsflash - i'm married! :)

anyhoo. now that i've got nothing to do, i'm starting to really miss baking. but since we haven't yet got an oven, i have to make do with no-bake desserts. and also, since i'm still in shock with the severe price change (aud to rm) on frozen dairy goodness such as cheese, fresh cream, and butter, i finally resort to making the simplest, cheapest (i guess?), yet one of the most scrumptious of all cakes.

yep. you guessed it right (the title helped you guess didn't it?? haha).

my first rolled fondant adventure back in malaysia :')

so i made a fondant cake last week. heheh.

but because of the temperature difference, humidity, etc etc, i was really nervous when handling the fondant. i used a ready-made fondant, bought from a local bake shop. it's really much much softer and more pliable compared to the ones i used in adelaide. i'm guessing it's due to the more warm and humid weather here... or maybe the rolled fondant itself is a bit softer?
