Durian Mousse Cake

I wanted to differentiate my Durian Mousse Cake from the rest of the cakes that I have done before... Thus, it came to mind that piping a "durian" on top of the cake is the best differentiation... haha... maybe I shld do something about the "empty" white space around the "durian"... Just feels that the cake looks abit plain... hmm... time to brainstorm again...

Well, for the interior, I used 2 pieces of sponge cake and 2 layers of durian puree.... Have not tried this cake at time of posting... Let's cross our fingers that it taste yummy! :-D

Banana Cake

I was just lying on the couch on a lazy Sunday afternoon.... looking like a lazy Garfield... and it suddenly came to my mind that I have some bananas left.... decided to look through my cake books and found this easy-to-do banana cake recipe... like I've just said, it being a lazy afternoon, the least I would wanna do is to get bogged down by complicated recipes and unsuccessful cakes)... so tadaa, this is the final product... It took longer than expected to have it thoroughly baked.... and I expected it to turn out like all my previous attempts at baking banana cakes... disaster... but hey! surprisingly, this one turned out to b soft, moist and tasty... Yumz... time for a nice tea break! Till then.... *munch* *munch*

Conquering Tiramisu Cake

I have finally plucked up my courage to make Tiramisu cake again... after a disastrous and expensive 1st unsuccessful try... At my 1st try, the mousse seeped out of the cake ring and onto my table top... it was such a mess... i spent more time cleaning up than making the cake per se... Duhz...

This is my 2nd try.... after attending a cake lesson.... and this time, it was much much bette... It really boosted my confidence... Will try it again... the improved version... and I can put it on the web for sale already... Have decided to make 2 different kinds... one with Kahlua....and one without.... the latter being more suitable for family with kids...

Time for cake baking again.... :-D

Strawberry Mousse Cake

I baked this cake today... It turned out ok... But I guess the strawberries were abit sour... Well, this is really for the strawberry lovers out there.... One thing for sure, this must be eaten immediately after taking out from the fridge... and it can't be eaten immediately if it has out for some time... erm, sounds abit complicating huh... but anyway, i can only say 'Best Refrigerated'... as that the mousse and cream isn't so melty....

Happy Mother's Day!

My cousin and I baked a cake for our respective mothers over the weekend.... I guess heart-shaped cake is the most appropriate for this occasion... It was a fun-baking session where we got to decorate our own cakes... luckily we took pics of the cakes before presenting it to our mums... coz apparently, my Auntie lost her balance, and accidentally smashed the cake against the fridge... oops... heard that half the cake was smashed... and my uncle did not even get to see the "original"... hahaha... Never mind, it is always the 'thought that counts'....

Trial and Error - mango mousse cake

I have decided to try mango mousse cake... the first one was abit "untidy"... I just have to blame it on my own impatience... i did not wait until the mousse has set before putting the mango cubes on top and poured the jelly over it... the end result? a "cloudy" top causedby liquified mousse and jelly... eeew.... It was edible though... but doesn't look nice..

This picture posted was much better... It's my 2nd try.... the "improved" version... was really glad I waited till it set... and then I add the jelly... hmm... now i know, baking cakes can really "train" a person's patience...

What a "great" start... my cakes!

What a "great" start to my blog.... I was staring at this screen for the past 5mins, not knowing what or how I should write... Well, in this case, I shall just write whatever comes to mind. After all, this blog is known as 'Sharon's Cake Adventures'... I guess i shouldn't fill it with tons of words.... let the pictures say it all... :-D

I have my fair share of trial and errors while baking these cakes... Ever since i made my 1st successful sponge cake (after failing for years)... there is no stopping me from then on...Suddenly, my mind is always filled with the different types of cakes that i can make from the basic sponge... These baking adventures "accompanied"me during the boring pregnancy period... duhz...Unfortunately, i had to stop baking upon doctor's request :-P I have since started baking again, 6months from my last cake... woohoooo.... 'Fun-time' starts!!!

My cakes:

Fresh Cream Mango Cake
Mixed Fruit Cake
Pandan Cake
Yam-layered Fruit Cake
