coffeeee........

Try out a recipe on coffee swissroll. did not have instant coffee, use my coffee machine to make some coffee for the nmaking of swissroll.

Although, my coffee sponge did not rise as much, but it is still soft. I also made some buttercream too. I found that the buttercream is too much for my liking, need to twitch the recipe for my next doing.

My future son-in-law liked it.

Never Give Up

Last few days, have been trying to do macarons, result fail.. no feet.. reason... didn't wait for the skin to dry.... impatient....

Talk to my buddy, she say she has confidence in me (really look me up), encouraged me to try again... surf the website and saw a recipe from here, the recipe says you don't even need aged egg white and can even do on raining days... yay! it's a bonus if it works.

I pipe the macaron and there's a tip, I knock the tray and still there's the tip, can't be bothered, I just want to see whether the recipe works for me. After finish piping, left it on the table with my ceiling fan on to let it dry, half an hour later, it's was still damp to my touch, from learn't from my previous lessons, on the aircon, "ta ta" 15 mins later, the skin is formed. In to the oven.

Well, at least I have some result, the next time, I will do a neat job on this...

too soft,,,:(

I have a habit of not reading the details of the recipe, normally, I just glaze through, too confidence, that's why sometimes, I did fail in attempting in what I am making. Serve me right.......

I use the water portion meant for the skin dough and put into the rice, result - too soggy... No doubt, the failure of the rice but overall the taste is nice. Will do it again.
