This is the reason why this web site exists. Why do I call my little haven Brownie Addict? Well, that’s the word came that up most with people begging me to stop making them anymore brownie, cause they were so addicted to my brownie they could not stop opening that little box and telling themselves “Okay one last one!” or sneaking pieces out of the box before it can reach the party or like in my brother-in-law’s case, scolded for eating the brownies and “snatching” with the other family members.
My loyal fans call these pineapple balls because of their shapes. These came from growing up with my mum’s pineapple tarts which every year, friends of hers would eagerly await her giveaways. It’s embarassing but I love these tarts so much myself, I swipe them fresh from the oven and have to keep reminding myself to leave enough for others!
Tiramisu was never intended as a cake. It originated as an Italian dessert and best served in a dessert cup!
Made with mascarpone cheese, Savoiardi fingers soaked in espresso, brandy or Bailey’s or both! I’ve analysed and researched and experimented for the best Tiramisu cake ever cos I am a self-confessed Tiramisu freak. I’ve gone “blah” at some of the dry Tiramisu cakes I’ve had at the cafes - obviously trying to cut cost! That’s the one time they will make my money. And I swear by Brandy. No substitutes.
Now I have 2 camps who’ve tried both versions of my Tiramisu.
Camp 1 - Has sweet tooth, likes the Tiramisu to be creamier.
Camp 2 - Likes the Tiramisu to be less sweet and of a lighter texture.
Since Camp 1 members have tried the Camp 2 version without much protest, I now just make the Camp 2 version. I’ve shared a cake like this amongst 4 very extremely happy people. *Big Grin* *Hic* Well.. I’m the excessive one!
Was very happy to make these cookies for K who was giving these away as favours. YUP.. giant Chocolate chip cookies with a chocolate base - soft chewy sort. I am still working very hard towards the legendry Mrs Fields Choc Chip Cookie.. almost there la.
Made these for K who gave away as favours.
Best served semi-frozen. Think Ice Cream Tiramisu! Soaked with brandy and coffee, a sure winner at any Christmas Party!
Sarah picked out a piglet at a Taka fair Very decisively. No other members of the Pooh Bear family could distract her or take her away from Piglet. That was like 2 weeks before her birthday which set the entire theme for her one year old birthday party! A multi layer mango mousse cake packed with mango puree. I decided it wasn’t enough and laid mango bits on top of the mousse at every layer. Call me Kia su!
Caleb’s cake was more challenging. His requests mutated by the week from Elmo driving a convertible, to fighter planes to finally F1! Everyone loved the flags! Strawberry fresh cream cake with strawberry slices in between vanilla sponge. Don’t ask me how much this weighs..
