BROWNIE!!!!!

    Take a look at the topic, you will know how excited I am. That's right. On this weekend, we made brownies in the class. It is the dessert that I really want to try because it's easy for everyone to make such a delicious food.
    First, melt the chocolate and butter. After they cool down, mix them with 3 eggs. Then, add sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder, the texture of mixture becomes thicker than before. Finally, put walnuts into it as much as you want.

Just looking at it makes my mouth watering.~~~

    While waiting for baking, let's recall the past courses.

Time flies! Next week's class is the final one. I remember that one of my plans for university is joining in the baking club, and it becomes parts of energy for studying hard. What I want to say is that trying is a wonderful thing and never be afraid of it. If you have chance, go and do it. I enjoy my lives now!

    Ding! Brownies finish.

And then sprinkle it with sugar.

      In my opinion, it's suitable to make it in Christmas. Some ice cream, brownie and hot chocolate, очень хорошо!

Chocolate with love

    There was no baking course last weekend, so today I want to share another interesting thing with you.
    In the afternoon, someone called me and told me that there was a 巧克力傳情 for me. I was surprised and started to guess who might send this to me. After I got the chocolate, I found that it was sent from my best friend in the senior high school. After graduating, we went to different universities, so we have less time to chat with each other than before. In the letter, she said I was her best friend, and she was glad to meet me. At last, she hope me to be happy everyday.
    Although the chocolate candy is simple, it shows the stong bond and profound friendship between us. I think a dessert is no just a dessert, but love and care. Not only it tastes good but also it was made by a person who have love. So if you have a chance to make a dessert, don't forget to put your love into it.

Fruit Cream Puff

Time flies! This week I want to share the experience of making fruit cream puffs.
I like puffs, especially chocolate cream puffs. However, the fruit puffs were not appealing to me. But when I had a taste on the puffs I had made, I was totally touched by the fabulous texture.
Now, let's have a look at the process!

 

Here were the ingredients of the puff. They were ordinary and essential. Nevertheless, the skill of making the puff increased the difficulty of the process. After mixed the olive oil, butter and flours, we heated the mixture and stirred constantly to avoid burning.

 

 

Then, we used the electric mixer to stir the eggs into the mixture.

 

 

Finishing the dough, we dropped it by two tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet. When dropping it, we had to be careful with the dough, trying not to make oblate ones. Besides, while baking the puffs, do not open the oven, or the puffs would fail.

This is our finished puffs!!!

 

 

After stuffed with cream and sliced pineapples, the puffs looked more delicious and awesome!

 

 

I really love the class this week, and I want to make some puffs in my free time. However, my little oven may not be my equipment to bake puffs successfully. What a pity! If I earn much money in the future, I will buy a big oven to baking all foods I love. HAHA. See you next time!

Cardinal Cake

The topic of my third class is cardinal cake. It was the cake that made me feel baking is not the thing that I am good at any more. Why did I say that? To make this cake, it takes skills and patience.

To begin with, we mixed the ingredient by electric mixer as usual, and then pour the mixture on the baking tray. After baking the cake, we made the stuffing with fruits, cream, milk and orange wine. Moreover, we put the stuffing into the cake. There was the three-layer cake.It looked so delicious.

All the ingredients are here.

mixing again~~~

 

HAHA. We made a cake with strange cake.

 

But now it looks awesome, doesn't it?

 

Our delicious stuffing~~~

 

Knowing that we were tired and hungry, the teacher gave us many kinds of desserts. To my surprise, the desserts he treated us were really rich.

 

 

 

It was so rich that I could go to the class with an empty stomach!

 

And.....

 

 

Finish!!!!!

 

Actually, after I join the class, I am blessed with the chance to get close to baking. Sometimes I feel stressful, and the class gives me the time to relax myself.

No matter how busy you are, don't forget to find one thing you really love to do. We can't escape the hustle and bustle of life, but we can give ourselves a pure mind. Go find it~~~~



Layer Cake

Hi there!!!!!
I can't wait to tell you how my first baking course went.

     My baking courses are on Saturday night. The baking classroom is located in the eastern area of Taipei. At night, there're always many clothes venders on the street. Hence, on the way to the classroom I kept looking around, viewing those many dresses and shoes.
     OK! Go back to the topic. In this class, I wound make layer cakes.That was my first time to enter a professional baking classroom. There were so many machines, gadgets, and appliances which made me want to try right now.

( Look at the machine on the left. Don't you feel excited when you see the electric mixer? No? Maybe you don't have the passion for cooking. haha )

 

      We weighed all the ingrediants first. Here's the ingrediants: flours, sugar, eggs, SP(起泡劑), baking powder, vanilla powder, syrup, and olive oil. After being mixed, the mixture looked so yummy.

 

 == >

( It looks so nice, doesn't it? )

 

     Because this was a layer cake, we had to bake every layer one after another. It took us much time. However, the teacher started to divide various kinds of dessert he had made, such as cookies, fruit cake, MACARONS, TIRAMISU, and coffee cake. How lucky I was!

 

( She is my partner of  the course, Alice.

We all major in Russian. )

 

     The hardest part of the process was to trim the shape of mixture on the baking tray. I had to make its surface flat, or I wound have a strange cake. Of course I had to do this again and again in order to achieve the perfect appearance.



YA~ Finally, we finished six layers.

Here's coming the important part! Slice it! How?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hahaha. With this gadget, we can slice the cake into six pieces precisely. How interesting it is!

 

Finish! My layer cakes

 

 

 

     After this class, I found that I love cooking more than I had imagined. This is my paradise, and I have many passionate classmates. As a result, I am really looking forward to the next class. By the way, I met a Korean girl. We talked about many thing of Taiwan and Korea. I hope that we can become good friends.

 

 

Everybody see you next time!!!

 



 



Chocolate Bean Cookie

Hi, I'm Mandy.
I'm here to tell you the dessert I just made!
This is my first post in this blog, so I want to share one kind of cookie that I usually make.

This is chocolate bean cookie, which is often made in American family.
With flour 150g, butter 100g, sugar 50g, an egg, baking powder 1/4 teaspoon, and chocolate beans, you can easily get about 20 pieces of the cookie. Having it with a cup of tea while watching TV is really a good choice.
However, be careful that do NOT mix too much flour, or you will have drier cookies, and be difficult to swallow it.
It takes me about 2 hours to finish.Before you start, take the butter out of the fridge for softening (NOT MELT).
By the way, replace baking powder with baking soda and mix in the chocolate powder, you will have another kind of cookies. Of course it needs another  recipe for weight.
That cookie has more chocolate flavor. If you want to have a try, I can provide you the recipe for you.
Cooking is very amazing because I can taste delicious dishes with different food combinations.
So come to join me! With this common and easy dessert, it isn't hard to enter the world of cooking any more. Even my sister can bake the cookie by herself.


Share a piece of my memory with you.
When I was in the sixth year at elementary school, there was a supermarket in front of my house where I could easily get ingrediants. Because of this, I entered the cooking world.
Therefore, after I know that which ingredient will give food which flavor, I will mix them together for my " flavor combination" .
Honestly, it taste good.But everytime I eat them, I will have a stomach ache soon.........
At that time, my sister was a kindergarten student, she really likes to eat the cookies made by her sister.........
So we rushed to the bathroom together everytime. :目
Don't be nervous, I don't do that anymore!!!!!
The recipe is very safe for your health. It is from a dessert book.

Haha.Enjoying it. :)
