My brother-in-law was craving for pandan chiffon and he couldn’t get from the supermarkets, so I baked one for him. I used the same recipe as the pandan bloom and did a Keroppi version. I had always wanted to try these character chiffons, but they brown so...

This CB period saw me baking lots of bread and this easy recipe has that nice crust and it freezes well too! I have these 2 scored differently bread frozen in the fridge to be consumed later. Come next week, there will be less time to bake. I’ve been dying to...

Why did I title this butter cake (Thai)? Because the original recipe was in Thai and it was a rave over facebook, so I had to give this a try and I ended up loving this recipe for how delicate the crumb of this cake is and how moist it stayed over a few days in the...

This caught my attention in the versatility it can be shaped, 5 braids, 6 braids, round braids and the likes. This recipe is also so simple and I have fallen in love with the feel of dough while kneading the bread dough into shape. The original recipe, however, used...

Much has happened since I last updated this space, but we’ll keep this space for the bakes. March is the birthday month of the family and that got me motivated to pick up the spatula again. I watched an episode on Anna Olson’s raspberry mousse chocolate...
