Baked Original, Double Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Fig Cream Cheese Financiers.
I had lots of egg whites left over from baking Egg Tarts, so I decided to make financiers!
Because I was able to make a lot of them, I decided to make different flavors.
Original: plain financier with egg whites, almond flour, sugar, honey, and browned butter.
Double Chocolate: I added melted chocolate in the batter and also chocolate chip on top.
Salted Caramel: I hand-made caramel with heavy cream and sugar; I added the caramel in the batter and also on top, finishing the financer with maldon salt.
Fig Cream Cheese: I added fig pieces and cream cheese in the orignial batter.
Used Macao-style without tri-fold method for the pastry. Filling with vanilla extract and heavy cream that was rested for over 24 hours.
It was my first time make egg tarts, but they turned out pretty good! I shared it with my family friends.
Baked crumble cheese cake with blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
I made crumbles with almond flour, flour, and butter.
Then I made the cheesecake, added frozen berries, and sprinkled crumbles all over!
It's even better when frozen.
Baked chocolate roll cake -> Buche De Noel with cream and wood-texture
I wanted to make a Christmas cake, so I decided to try Buche De Noel. I've never made a roll cake before so I didn't know how it was going to turn out, but it tasted pretty good! I baked chocolate batter and rolled with fresh cream inside. Then I decorated with chocolate ganache and various toppers.
I love brownies, so I decided to make Christmas-themed brownies. Baked brownies in heart-shaped and round-shaped tray. Decorated with pretzels, red M&Ms, and icing to make reindeer face.
I also love meringue cookies, and they are really easy to make, so I added food-coloring and sprinkles to make it more Christmas-y.
Cream Cheese Cookies
Baked chocolate cream cheese cookies. Thick chocolate cookie dough outside with sweet & cold cream cheese filling.
This is one my and my sister's favorite! The cream cheese is sweet mixed with sugar powder, and the cookies are the best when they are frozen.
Matcha White Chocolate Cookies
Baked cookies with matcha powder and white chocolate chips.
It was my first time baking matcha-related baked goods. My sister wanted matcha cookies, so I baked brown butter cookies with matcha powder and added white chocolate chips for sweetness.
Banana Bread
Baked banana bread with sour cream, peanut butter, and almond powder. Put half of a banana on top for decoration.
I had many banans left over, so I decided to make a banana bread. It was really soft and moist!
Basque Cheese Cake
Baked a cheese cake with only four ingredients: heavy cream, milk, cream cheese, and eggs.
While orignial cheese cakes require rusks, these basque cheese cakes only need the batter. Also, the key point is the burnt surface!
Lemon Bar
Sweet and sour lemon pudding + crust
For summer, I wanted to make lemon related snack. It was really lemon-y and sweet, but I didn't really like it...because it was too mushy for me.
Sausage Bread
Bread with sausage and onion, sweet corn, yellow peppers, mayonnaise, cheese mixture. Ketchup on top.
One of my favorite bread to make! I kneaded a dough and put a long sausage inside. Then I cut the sausage into flower-looking shape and added mixed veggies and mayonnaise on top with cheese!
Brownies
I love thick, crusty brownies, so I made one with lots of dark chocolate.
These are also really good when refrigerated!
