Tiramisu........

Hi there!! I'm back!!
Been ages since my last entry.. =p

Made tiramisu today... This time, a different style from what I usually make..
The previous ones I made usually comes in the container.
This time round I want to make something that looks more like a "cake"..haha..

Here you go!!





I like my tiramisu with that strong liquor taste... Added a lot of Marsala wine to the mascarpone cheese... so...sorry kiddos, this dessert is not suitable for you guys...hahaha....

"Melting Devils"!!!!

Woke up damn early this morning.. 7am!! Can't get back to sleep... hiaz... Meeting 2 of my close friends today... hmm... can't sleep anyway...

Okie, decide liao! Shall bake some cupcakes for them!! Haha..

Hmm... What shall I bake...

Finally decided to make some Blueberries Chocolate Cupcakes for them, my special "Melting Devils".. hahaha.... or should I rename them.... "Berry Melting Devils"!!!

Contemplating what should be the topping for the cuppies... Swiss Meringue Buttercream? Hmm... Na.. We're staying out till late, the buttercream sure bound to take the gooey state by the time they get the cupcakes back..

Icing? Plain leh...No.. No...

Finally decided with Chocolate Ganache, think they should be able to "tahan" thru the day..

Next, Chocolate Ganache seems abit boring...

Chocolate Ganache with fruits toppings? Looks nice, but.... under this weather.. better not..

OK! It shall be Chocolate Ganache with Pepper Mint Icing topping!!!

This dynamic duo should compliment each other and should be able to withstand being out in this weather for a long day.. I hope.. haha...

See that? This is the end product of my "brain-storming"... Haha.. Pretty?? Ok la... Hahaha...

Plan to give each of them a box of 6 cuppies, for them to bring home and share with their family.

As usual, VC came and pick me and meet EW in town.

Promised to make him Tiramisu in exchange for a bottle of Myers Dark Rum he got me from his recent biz trip.. our form of "trading".. hahaha...

He simply LOVES my Tiramisu!! Even said he's going to order Tiramisu from me for his Christmas party this year.. even planned when to collect them.. Asked me to mark my calendar...hahahaha.. OKIE! On!!

Handed over the box of cuppies to him, and he was quite impressed with my so called "handicraft work" on the cuppies.. haha.. said he couldn't imagine someone so "un-womanly" like me can "create" such stuffs..haha..

Oh mann, you are so so wrong!!! I scored "A"s in my art n crafts during school days k (on canvas and papers la)!!


He started mumbling to himself how and when to eat the cupcakes.. OMG!! He's planning to take all the 6 cuppies for himself!! No..no.. you're suppose to share them with your nephew and sis!!! Not all for yourself!!! Haha..

Ok, off we go to meet EW in town..

Had tim sum for lunch (super late lunch.. its 3.30pm when we met EW), shop around and caught Jay Chow's latest movie, Secret.

After the show, VC said he's hungry, suggested to go TCC for a bite..

While waiting to be seated, both VC and EW were gazing at the panel of cakes display and discussing which cake they should order later... "No!! No!!! You two cannot eat any CAKES!!!! I have 6 cupcakes for each of you waiting in the car!!" Their eyes were wide opened when they heard that... Hahaha.. "Ok la.. You can have cakes.. BUT! No chocolate cakes!! I don't want you two to mix up the tastes when you have my cupcakes later!!!".. No choice, being the "bully", they have to give in to me.. Hahaha..

After supper, we called it for the night and headed home..

VC sms me an hour later after I got home, he tried my cupcakes despite the heavy supper he had earlier. He said the cupcakes were: quoted "Heavenly Fantastic".. He decided to keep 2 for himself, gave 1 to his nephew, 1 for his sis and 1 for his bro-in-law.. Whahahaha.. Madness.. Told him I can bake more for him anytime..

EW said she'll have them tomorrow.. Her stomach is as bloated as a puffer fish now.. Anything that goes down her throat now would explode her belly... hahaha.. She promised to give me her feedback tomorrow.. ok.. I shall wait.. Feedback and see what I can improve on my cuppies further.. You better not forget k!!

Tiramisu Cupcakes... I'm gona master this!!!

Had been making Tiramisu for couple of times.. Can't say I'm super good at it, but my tiramisu had managed to set a few tongues licking.. haha..

Baby simply loves them, said they're divine.. Whahhaa.. He said they're better than some sold in restaurants and coffee joints.. *H..shit.. my head's swelling with flattery...haha...

Few of my friends and peers had tried them, I can catch them licking the containers (at the corner..haha..), licking every drop of it and asking for more... haha.. This is what I call satisfaction, seeing people enjoying what I've made....

Still remember my 1st attempt in making tiramisu.. Oh mann... BIG disaster...

Read thru the recipe *toooooooo* fast and skipped an important process "WHIP THE HEAVY CREAM"!!

Added everything on the ingredient list and guesss what... UNWHIPPED heavy cream + mascarpone cheese + whisked egg yolks = super watery tiramisu... hahhahaa....

Okie, in order not to waste the lot of stuffs, what to do next??? Pour everything into the container and stuff it up the freezer la!! End product??? Tiramisu ice-cream!!! hahahhah.. or more likely, tiramisu icicle... Bro said it look funny, but the taste is good...

2nd attempt? Ladyfingers over soaked in super strong coffee.. Mission failed..

3rd attempt? I made it!! Close la...hahaha...

Bro ate 2 tubs!! And his girlfriend.. Ate 2 also, despite her super skinny and tiny frame... haahhaa... But then, few commented that the ladyfingers were over soaked.. Cannot, must perfect it...

4th attempt? Finally, the right consistency and taste.. Baby said I can sell them now.. hahhaaha...

I've DONE IT!!! I can make Tiramisu now!!!!


And now, my next target: Cupcake + Tiramisu = Tiramisu cupcake

No more ladyfingers off the shelves, I'm gona make my own cupcake!!

First recipe I tried.. Gorly! The sponge cake tasted horrible.. No butter sponge cake, not my type..


See the pix? That's my 2nd attempt with Tiramisu cupcakes... Its more to Chocolate Mocha cupcake with tiramisu filling and rich chocolate ganache..

Another view of the Tiramisu Cupcakes

Bro said the taste is good.. but then.. the taste of chocolate is so overwhleming that he can hardly make out the tiramisu taste...

Friends who tried them likes the combination of the cake and filling.. And? They didn't realise that the filling was suppose to be TIRAMISU!!!!

Baby thot the tiramisu cupcakes were rich chocolate cupcakes!! He liked the filling.. and the cake... But then.... he asked "huh? it's tiramisu meh???" Hiaz.....

Okie, I die also must find the perfect recipe!! Give me some time baby.. I'll show you the results!!
