Above pictures were taken by Indra (Fang2's hubby). He's a photographer.
So much professional than this picture below. Hehehe.

Wow! I made this cake specially for Fang Fang's birthday (18 April 2008), which was my 8th month wedding anniversary :) It was 3-layered cake with creme & pitted cherries inside.

Sausage Roll

I made this pastry because of "idle" sausages & leftover puff pastry.
This was how I made it:

Ingredients:

• Pampas puff (thawed, cut into 2 either rectangular or triangular, your choice). 1 sheet makes 2 rolls.
  
• Sausages, cut horizontally into 2 pieces.
• Cheddar cheese (either block cheese or the slice one). If you use block cheese, you need to grate it. For the slice one, you can cut into 2.
• BBQ sauce.
  
• Italian herbs for spice.
• Parmesan cheese.
• Egg.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to medium temperature.
   
2. Arrange Pampas puff on a tray, brush the BBQ sauce on top of it. Put the cheese, sausage on top of it.
3. Sprinkle Italian herbs on top of the sausage.
   
4. Quickly roll the puff & tighten the sides by pressing it with finger / fork. Don't wait too long for the puff dries quickly. You can cover it with a damp cloth if you have more to make. You may need a little bit of water to stick both sides together.
5. Brush egg on the top of the roll.
   
6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of it.
7. Bake it for 15 minutes. Just watch it. It bakes quite quickly.

Now you can enjoy your Sausage Roll!!

Homemade Pizza Hut

I'm a fan of Pizza Hut. Since the Pizza Hut taste is different here, I'm curious to try making my own. I searched for the recipe online & I got it from cdkitchen.
In terms of shape, well..you can see, it's definitely not very Pizza Hut. I have no special baking pan for that. In terms of taste, I think it's not bad. Quite close to its original taste, especially when it just comes out of the oven. You just have to eat it quickly to get the taste.

Salmon Roll

My hubby loves to eat salmon. Consuming salmon is considered to be healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids and high vitamin D content.

It's not different to make it from Sausage Roll. Quite simple & quick.

Ingredients:

• Pampas puff (thawed, cut into 2 rectangulars). 1 sheet makes 2 pies.
  
• Salmon, cut thinly.
  
• Cheddar cheese (either block cheese or the slice one). If you use block cheese, you need to grate it. For the slice one, you can cut into 2.
• Italian herbs, parsley for spices.
• Egg.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to medium temperature.
   
2. Arrange Pampas puff on a tray, put the salmon , cheese, on top of it.
3. Sprinkle Italian herbs & parsley on top of the salmon.
   
4. Quickly roll the puff & tighten the sides by pressing it with finger / fork. Don't wait too long for the puff dries quickly. You can cover it with a damp cloth if you have more to make. You may need a little bit of water to stick both sides together.
5. Brush egg on the top of the roll.
   
6. Bake it for 15 minutes. Just watch it. It bakes quite quickly. You don't want the fish to be too dry.
   

Salmon Pie is quite filling. It's great for simple lunch/dinner. It's easy, and very nutritious.

Orange Sponge Cake

Making sponge cake is not as easy as I think. The ingredients is quite simple but the technique of baking it has to be precise, eg., the oven temperature, the way you mix the dough. I like this sponge cake. Very soft, spongy & yummy. It took me a few hours to make it from scratch until baked, especially when squeezing the orange juice...tedious...

Truffles

I make 3 kinds of truffles here.

• Chocolate
• Caramel (with white choco topping)
• Rum (with real liquor)
  

My hubby loves the caramel one soooo much that he can finish it in few days...

He wants to finish 'em all! Lucky I don't like white chocolate. Good for you Mark

Japanese Cheesecake

This cheesecake is very different from Western style. Japanese cheesecake is not very cheesy but lighter, rather spongy & tangy. The texture is very soft and it just melts in your mouth. It's best to keep it refrigerated & eat it chilled.


It comes in 24x24cm square baking tin.

Banana Bread

This banana bread was made due to the BAKING RECIPE book given to me by cell group members for my birthday present. It's so easy to make & fast. The taste is yummy & moist. Thank you guys for the birthday present. It does enrich my baking experiment.
