Matcha Bestie

Dedicated to a close friend who turned 21.

For the love we share for matcha. Hehe. :)

Green tea sponge cake, green tea filling, and green tea frosting.

Hell yeah, The Bakeanista is on a crazeee green tea fever yo! :D

I hope he liked it. :)

Chocolate Molten Lava

Introducing my new addiction. ;)

Can't seem to get enough of 'em.

The next time I make another batch...

Imma gonna make sure it's more gooey! :P

Cinnamon Cake

I baked this for friends who helped make "my night" a success. ;)

It was more or less like butter cake, just with a hint of cinnamon.

The texture was smooth, and the taste keeps getting better. Hehe.

Tira... I miss you!

My favourite cakey ever. *mwah mwah mwah*

I've always loved Tiramisu! And still do a lot.

Over the years, I've been wanting to bake it.

But somehow, I dare not try. No idea why either.

Guess it's cox I have especially high expectations.

But today I gave it a go, and voila! I succeeded! :D

Not to say top class quality, but my mum enjoyed it.

Even the brudder who doesn't like Tiramisu said yum.

He had a few servings, which was very flattering, really!

The cocoa powder melted a tad bit on the topping. :(

But I didn't want to add more to cover the damp parts.

I know it looks quite horrible, but it's my first attempt!

Hmmm, it's not too bad for an amateur, eh? *giggles* :P

I'm happy, but there are still room for improvements!

Vanilla Apple Cakey

I'm still soooo not over the Apple Frenzy yet. Hehe!
I keep buying apples to bake anything apple-ish.
My friend, JS, said, "You can start an Apple Family!"

The cakey looks burnt on the top, but it's not.
The secret is because... I'm not telling you! :P

I'm not that selfish, I was just kidding! Bluek!
It's sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar.
So it's actually really really fragrant. Wheee! :D

It's like my favourite cake this season, can?
I bake it like once a week. Sometimes, twice.

Apple Cuppie Castle

My mum used to bake this for my brother and I when we were still very little. But she's starting to get real lazy now that her daughter is taking over her role in baking. *bluek* I grew up loving this cuppie most. And it still is, without a shadow of doubt, my favourite cuppie!

Put together cinnamon, apple, and vanilla - Voila! :D

The texture of the cuppie is so soft that when it's bitten,

your tastebuds just dances in the air and go wulala,

with cinnamon melting on your tongue. Yummmmehh!

A friend of mine ordered a dozen of them. :)

So, I baked an extra dozen for the brudder and I.

Alrightey, just this one more shot to make you drool all over. :P

If ever you're interested to give my Apple Cuppies a try, buzz me! :D

I baked Mango Strudels too which were really good! :D I remember eating them when I was in my teen years but it got discontinued. I've been searching high and low for it in stores and bakeries, but to no avail. So I decided to give it a go myself.

I'm really satisfied with the outcome but sowie, no pictures! I was actually rushing to give it to a friend, so I didn't have the time to go snappie snap snap. But fret not because I'll definitely make it again, and will make sure I take pictures. :)

Apple Crumble

Best eaten when it's out fresh from the oven!

Crunchy and fragrant on the top layer. *munch*

And when you dig in to the bottom for the apples...

MAMMA MIA! ;D

The whole cutting-the-apples process was the most hassle one for me. Totally dislike peeling the apples' skin, and removing the seeds then having to cut them into small slices. I stood there doing the whole mundane routine over and over again for ten apples, I just got so tired. *sigh*

But finally, when I was done, a sense of huge relief overwhelmed me. Especially after I cook them with a pinch of cinnamon. It smelt just oh-so-good, the effort was way worth it. Though I'd prefer if someone could help me with the apples, in the future. *sticks tongue out* It took me quite a while to rub the butter into the flour, but it was all fine with me. :)

Popped them into the oven and waited patiently for my babies to cook. Only took a short 15 minutes, which was really quick I'd reckon. Did a tad bit of cleaning up and *Ding!* went the timer. I set them aside to cool for a bit, and quickly succumb to the temptation. Took my first bite... and whoah! Scrumptious! :D
