    lemon brulee

    Ingredients:

    • 150g egg
    • 120g castor sugar
    • 1.5 lemon zest
    • 100ml lemon juice
    • 175ml cream

    Method:

    • Combine egg, sugar + zest and whisk gently
    • Add strained lemon juice slowly
    • Add cream n mix until combined
    • Set aside till use
    • Heat oven 160⁰C
    • Blind-bake tartshells.
    • Pour lemon filling into prepared case
    • Cook for 50-60mins (it could be less than this depending on your oven. don't let it overcook as the pastry will be too dark or the brulee will be too stiff. look for a nice light golden colour and the brulee should just be set at the top.)


    fruit tarts~ i can't assemble fruit tarts.. grrr! they do my head in!!!!! hahahaha!!! =( its basically the sweet pastry filled with creme patisserie ;]




    catchup class stage two*
    palmiers ( they look like those asian butterfly biscuits!)


    gateau st honore - not my choice of cake! its got layers of diplomat cream, choux pastry, genoise, biscuit.. XD too much for my liking! XD

    ♥♥♥♥♥ HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY ^____________^ ♥♥♥♥♥

    another attempt at making a chanel bag for my best-friend's 21st :] the cake turned out alittle FAT. but fed everyone well so that was ok XD the vanilla sponge turned out alittle dry for some reason so that was disappointing for me!!!! grrrrrr! at least the chocolate part and the hazelnut buttercream made it taste better =D was a great night!! everything turned out perfect :]

    like i said, sorry i cant afford a REAL one of these babies for you now, but this is close enough =P
