happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/fruit-pastry-cake.html

I have made some changes to the recipes.

Ingredients:
100g butter, soften at room temperature
180g caster sugar
50g low fat yogurt
3 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
210g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Strawberry, blueberry, peach

Method:

Grease the side of a 9" round pan or a 8" square pan and line the base with parchment paper.
  1. With an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and yogurt till light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the eggs gradually and beat till incorporated in the batter.
  3. Add vanilla extract and zest. Mix to combine.
  4. Sieve over flour and baking powder and mix till smooth.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  6. Arrange fruits on top, don’t press the fruits down into the batter. Decorate the fruits as desired.
  7. Bake in pre-heat oven at 180degC for 60-70 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Cover the top with foil in the last 15 mins of baking to prevent the top from getting over browned.
  8. Leave the cake to cool in the pan for about 5~10 mins. Unmold and transfer to wire rack to let cool completely. Dust the cake with some icing sugar if desired.


Thanks Happy Home Baker for sharing the recipe.

Demo Class by Chef Daniel Tay of Bakerzin









I attended the Demo Class conduct by Chef Daniel Tay of Bakerzin and these are creations done by him and not me. The strawberry tart and Frasier are too complicated for me so I only try to make the Strawberry Short Cake after the class.



This is the strawberry Shortcake I made after attending the class. My niece love the cake so much. But can see my standard is so much lower than the chef, hehe!

Barney Cake




Make this Barney Cake for my son last year birthday celebration. First I didn't use something to support the barney head so the head drop on the next day morning. So I have to redo the head again in a very rush hour. Luckily still can finish making the cake.

I have taken wilton decorating course 1 to 3 and fondant n gumpaste course. But maybe I am not so creative so my decorating skills still very poor compare with others. Here are some of cakes I make during the course.





















My Fondant Cake

Candy House




Saw this in a cake book and I love it so much. So try to make and it is quite simple.




My Silicone Mould











I like to use silicone mould to make agar agar instead of baking because it is very easy to remove from pan after it set. Here are some of my creations.

Bought this castle pan from Chong Trading and it was the most expensive pan among my collections. But only used it a few times, hehe!
