And I changed the coffee cream to vanilla custard cream. Custard filling: Ingredients: 1/2 cup castor sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 cups milk 2 eggs beaten 2tsp vanilla Directions: 1. Combine sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan. 2. Stir mix, let boil for 1 min and remove from heat. 3. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Stir 1/2 of the mixture into the eggs. 4. Blend that into the rest of the mixture. 5. Bring to JUST BOIL, depending on the consistency you want. If you let it boil, the custard will curdle. 6. Cool and blend with vanilla. 7. Set aside in the fridge. Choux pastry: Ingredients: 125ml water 50g cold butter 65g plain flour, sifted pinch of salt 2 eggs, lightly beaten Directions: 1.

Mix butter, FOUR (4) cups of sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy. 2. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time (not necessary to add all) until you get the consistency that you want. (more sugar --> stiffer frosting). 3. Beat for about 2 minutes. 4. Divide into portions and add food colouring that you desire. Mix well. Note: It's better to use gel colouring, instead of liquid ones, because liquid ones make the frosting softer and harder to work with.Gel colourings are more intense, so be http://extremelyrandom.multiply.com/reviews/item/13 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 01:41:11 -0000 Remember my first ever egg-free chocolate cupcakes? This one tastes alot like that, except that it's less sweet, which makes it better since the icing is super sweet. But I love this! And plus, it's fat free. Totally sinless-chocolate! Okay maybe not totally, since it has sugar, but which cake doesn't? Enjoy the recipe below! [edit] I've decided to demote it to 3 stars instead of 4 stars, because the cake became like a dodol. Literally dodol-like texture. I'm so gonna try a full-fat cake, instead of no fat!

Honestly, the mud cake by itself is really nice, especially when it's freshly baked. But other than that, appearance wise, it isn't that appealing. I guess it's cuz of the white choc chips that peek out from the dark brown surface. It just looked too damn weird, and a bit on the icky side. Oh ya. The ganache is too buttery. Maybe I should just stick to Betty Crocker's frosting? *************************************************** Ingredients: 175g butter, chopped 300g dark choc, chopped 3/4 cup brown sugar 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 1/2 cups plain flour 3/4 cups white choc bits cocoa powder for dusting Ganache: 100g dark choc 100g butter Directions: Melt butter and choc in a bowl, over a pan of simmering water.

I've been searching, yeap, and experimenting for the best ever chewy, fudgey brownies, but sadly, I haven't found one. Usually recipes from Hershey's Kitchen works for me, but not for brownies I suppose. This one's too cakey and dry, even though its very simple to make. This would suck a whole lot more if its not for the white choc bits. And this whole brownies isn't even sweet!

The most important part of the cupcakes! The cake itself! Love this recipe. The vanilla flavour will be really enhanced if I could just get my hands on vanilla sugar. But! No worries.

Ahh this is soo crap. *bangs head on the wall* The only thing Ive achieved during this holiday is going to Sarawak and bake!&nbsp;Bake like 6 different types of cupcakes, out of which&nbsp;1 really sucked, and another one had a really good base cupcake, but disgusting, cina-sembahyang-red-candle-coloured frosting because the stupid damn website didnt put up the proper recipe. Which means I still owe Sya her pink frosted cupcakes. And I owe Mash red velvet cupcakes since she already asked for it about 2-3 times. Not like I mind baking actually, I just need my proper baking equipment! I wanna be able to pipe pretty shaped frostings, and decorate my cupcakes instead of the normal glob of frosting.<BR><BR>Any other cupcakes requests? Ive barely made a dent in my 500 cupcakes list, but then Im not gonna bake ALL 500!

The cheesecake tastes light and fluffy, instead of having the heavy aftertaste. Might be because I used the whipped Philidelphia cream cheese instead of the normal one.

Smells like my lip balm. hah.. The main thing I really hate about this is that it sticks to the paper, so maybe the next time i shall try with aluminium cups. Anyway this is supposed to be a low fat muffin but really doesnt taste it,except with the bursting flavour of fresh strawberries and rasperries with every bite. ******************************* Ingredients: 1 1/3 cups plain flour 3/4 cup superfine sugar 1 tbsp baking powder Pinch of salt 2 lightly beaten eggs 4 tbsp sunflower oil 1 1/4 cups low fat milk 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 2 cups fresh raspberries + strawberries 1.

Oh yah. Baked cheese cupcakes. Low fat or high fat? Whichever I feel like doing anyway. And after that once I come back from holiday I shall bake the strawberries&amp;cream one.

I cant say the same for the frostings. Ill give 3 stars for the frostings. They are too buttery for my liking and since butter is yellow, the frosting didnt turn out as white as i envisioned. I would say the oreo bits were the saviour for the frosting. However, the buttery taste mellowed after 2 days of storage, so it didnt taste so bad after all. I guess I would have to make the frosting beforehand if I were to ever try making this again. ******************************************* Ingredients(for cupcakes) 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup superfine sugar 2 cups self raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 4 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 10 crushed oreos (Frosting) 3 cups icing sugar, sifted 1 cup butter, softened pinch of salt 10 chopped oreos 1.Preheat oven to 175 deg celcius. 2.Combine all cupcake ingredients except cookies and mix until smooth and pale(abt 2-3 mins).

Highly recommended! Ingredients: 1 cup white choc chips 5 tbsp milk 1 1/2 tbsp icing sugar, sifted 3 tbsp chopped, toasted macadamia nuts 1. Melt choc and milk in a double boiler, stirring frequenty. 2. Remove from heat and beat in icing sugar until smooth 3. Spread over cupcakes and sprinkle with nuts. (Do this FAST because the white choc hardens easily and its hard to spread over http://extremelyrandom.multiply.com/reviews/item/2 Thu, 7 Dec 2006 09:43:30 -0000 This is the best ever choc cupcakes I have ever tried, and its egg free. Technically its sugar free, but there's hidden sugar in the recipe (I've included the recipe below). The choc cupcakes are moist and soft and not crumbly at all. It can be eaten without without frostings, but choc frosting would be the best. Chocoholics BEWARE! Im not really a fan of cooled cupcakes so i would say that it's best eaten warm, within 10-15 minutes after being removed from the oven. *************************************************** Total time taken: 1 hour Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 14 oz condensed milk 2 cups self raising flour 1 cup cocoa powder 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup semi sweet choc chips 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 1/2 cups cherry cola ( i used vanilla coke here) 1.
