Sprinkle Bakes: Espresso-Biscoff Heart Cake

Time flies

Hello,

Sorry for not updating anything for the past two months. As I'm pregnant right now, I tend to get tired easily and resting a lot. Now I'm in my last chapter, having contraction come and go most of the time is very tiring. I barely got no time to experiment my food or take any orders due to the pain I'm going through.


Now I know its not easy being a mother, through the early pregnancy everything was so easy and running smoothly, no morning sickness or anything..was so happy that I'm able to do anything. Until now I'm 38 weeks. Just counting down the days for it to *pop* 

Due to this I'm not able to take any orders at all, was informed by the doctor to have completely rest.

I'm just hoping my little one to come this week. As I and my partner can't wait to have him around.

The Velvet Fever

From red velvet to blue velvet cupcake, who doesn't love red velvet right? everyone does. Its so tempting, I myself couldn't resist if I walk through the bakery, sometimes my husband will take me to different route haha, knowing that I'll bug him to buy for me :D 

But living in Malaysia  blue velvet are not much famous as 'red velvet'. Sometimes they like "what the heck is blue velvet"...so I'm unable to find blue velvet in any of the bakery chain around here. So one day, while I busy browsing one of my favorite blog : Sprinkle Bakes, I discover this 'Blue Velvet', immediately I write down the recipe and the next day itself  I try it. Omg, seriously i'm loving the colour..Its BLUE like serious blue haha...I was shocked and in-love with the colour. 

After few time of making it, I did a little experiment on it..instead using buttermilk, I change to yogurt and lemon. I was afraid it will turn out horrible but I'm not afraid of taking the risk. So, I did, glad it didn't turn sourly taste on it but it taste perfectly tender and moist. 

The frosting is the same cream cheese that how i like it and drizzle with chocolate. My customers love it,

basic scone

This is my first time sharing recipes with others, hope that it will turn out great! :-)

Here i wanna share a recipe that i made with my student today for his bf birthday.  oh fyi, I'm actually a baker and sometimes I conduct classes.Okay anyway, here are the recipe. I never made scone until someone request for a class but hey it turn out perfectly awesome! lovin it...

Basic Scone Recipe : 

Plain flour, for dusting

3 cups self -raising flour

80g butter, cubed

1 1/4 cups milk

Jam & whipped cream to serve


Method : 


1. Preheat oven to 200*c. Lighty dust a flat baking tray with plain flour. Sift self- raising flour into a bowl.

2. Using your fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resemble breadcrumb.


3. Make a well in the center. Add 1 cup milk, mix with a flat- bladed knife until mixture form  a soft dough, adding more milk if required. Turn into a lightly floured surface, knead gently until smooth ( dont knead too much or the scone will be tough).


4.  Put dough into a 2cm thick round,using a 5cm round cutter and cut out 12 round. Press dough together and cut remaining 4 rounds. Place doughs onto prepared baking tray. 1cm apart, sprinkle tops with a little plain flour. Bake for about 10 - 15 mins or until golden and well risen. Transfer to a wire rack, serve warm with jam and cream. 



P.S : when i conduct the classes, i allow them to create their own shape. So, its not a problem if you want something diff instead of round :-)
