Ok, my true self is back! The one that now spends her weekend mornings trimming the leaves and flowers is a new side of me, but the Miss Bakerholic side did not disappear. She’s back! Instead of only favouring Zoji the bread machine for the past 3 weeks, the oven is finally getting the attention that it well deserves. Macarons on Saturday and pandan chiffon cake on Sunday.
I have got lots more to improve on the macarons. I decided to bake some macarons yesterday as I just bought the mat from Kitchen Capers some weeks ago since they are having some July promotion. But then my macarons have feet but they can’t be removed nicely from the mat. And I need to learn how to pipe them nicely. I so need an Aunt Agony for baking… Hopefully the 22nd August demonstration class will provide me with the solutions that I am looking for!
But the pandan chiffon cake that I baked today made up for yesterday’s disappointment. After my frankenstein’s cake a while back, I was very mindful of the proportion of pandan paste that I use to make sure that I don’t scare people off with the green colour. Nonetheless, it was a challenge though trying to work within my baking corner as much as possible, so I don’t have to invade my Mum’s kitchen top.
Used to be my nemesis in the past
