Lemon Curd Mascarpone Cupcakes: Because something good will be great when sharing!

So, I got a lot of cookbooks again, haha, for this month, I got about 15 more cookbooks (I count only the one that already arrived but more are on their way). I really think that I should stop buying, but there are something in life that you can't resist it, ^^". 

January 2011 Daring Bakers’ Challenge #48: Joconde Imprime Entremets, Chocolate Banana

I know that it's not a usual cake to bake at home but I think it's fun to make ^^. I love the feeling of thinking what pattern that I will make and what I will put together to make the  Entremets, and I know that you might think that I'm crazy, haha.

Apple Crumble Sponge: Turn to me when you need comfort.

I just made it last night, with a feeling that I really needed something to comfort me. Well there are so many times in life that everything around us, is not in the way that we want ^^", and for me when I'm facing that's situation, I want a comfort food.

Entremets Glacé "Cappuccino": You'll need Frozen Coffee!!!

I know that I have a bad habit, ^^", when someone ask me for something, I rarely say no. But it's not always a problem when coming to recipe, haha, because when the person who ask me for the recipe get the recipe that he or she wants, I have both recipe and delicious time. For this time, when Khun Kris ask me about the "Ice Cream Cake", I just couldn't say no, because I really want to make it too.

Simple syrup

100g ................................. Water

100g ................................. Sugar
1/4tsp .............................. Corn syrup (Optional, it will prevent the sugar to crystallize, 
......................................... but if you don't keep the syrup too long you don't need it) 

Put the water, corn syrup and sugar into small saucepan and bring to boil, until all the sugar dissolved, take off the heat and let the syrup cool.

Keep it in a bottle in the fridge, easy to use every times you need.

When using mix it with liqueur of your choice. 

Brown sugar mini muffin with coffee glaze: Little treats, with a big smile!!

Oh! I love this ^^. I always love the taste of brown sugar, it didn't have a sharp sweetness as the white sugar and it makes cake super moist too. Actually I bake these muffins when I feel I need a little treat for myself. It's different from other muffins esp. on its softness.

Aspiring Bakers #3: My Favorite CNY Cookie (Jan 2011) Chinese almond cookies

 I love to bake and well, everything about baking can make me excited, so when I saw a post about  Aspiring Bakers #3: My Favorite CNY Cookie (Jan 2011) in Jess' blog (j3sskitch3n), I really want to join this event. For this year the Chinese New Year is on the 3 of February and having a lot of recipes to choose from is a good idea ^^.

Chicken Farm Baker's Project # 30 : A Valentine’s Baking Treat for My Sweetheart, Devil food cake with Pink buttercream and Dark chocolate Ganache

Baking for someone is very special (well I mean "baking, itself), the feeling when you thinking about it, and the feeling when you making it, I think they are all important. So, for this month the Chicken farm members have an important project, we have to bake for the Valentine’s Day.

Easy French Bread ?: I like to take it easy!!!

 Actually, I can't call this one traditional French bread because it's not ^^. But what you will do if you want to have a rustic bread, just bake it by yourself!!! This bread is very easy to make and when I need French bread, I bake this one instead. It doesn't require a lot of preparation, no need for sponge, or anything else, just an instant yeast that's all. 

Roulade Chocolat au Cointreau: There's an orange hiding in this cake!!

 Because I love to collect cookbook, I feel I need it every time that I saw it. Just last month I saw that my friend showed her new book “.......................” and I think I need that too, haha. Well, luckily the Amazon shows inside of this book and Voila! I finally know that it’s the same book as ............................ that I already had it in French ^^.

Basic Butter Rolls: Plain and boring, I don't think so!

We need some basic and simple thing, like the bread that is so versatile, the one that you can have as a breakfast, or as a companion to any meal. I want to make a butter roll for a long time, but due to the feeling that it's so simple (and plain or boring ^^"), the other recipe always wins. 

Cornmeal Thumbprints Cookies: Crunchy delicious, need I say more?

I have to make a confession, I didn't buy this magazine ^^, I just took it from my sister's house when I saw the recipe list. The magazine that I talk about is ....................................

Old Fashion Chocolate Whoopie Pies: I do believe it's classic!

 Well, I know that the whoopie pie trend is about to go but it doesn't matter at all, when you talk about the food ^^, the trend comes and goes but the delicious taste never gone.
