In the Meantime
Hello... How r u people? Hope you all do great.

It's been way too long since I blogged last time.
Days by days were quite busy. I almost baked everyday. If you were thinking that my business is going so great and popular that I need to bake everyday every time... NO, you are wrong. It doesn't always mean like that.

Macaron business is doing OK for now. Not like nothing at all but not THAT popular... yet. I wish *fingercross

Besides, I was busy traveling too. hahaha... Yes, I just went to Korea last month with friends in a tour. It was super fun, super exciting. Korean food was yummy, korean people were great and Korea itself... it's pretty. I don't mind going back there for the second, third or fourth time. A lot of things to be explored there and a lot of food you need to eat.

Anyway, right now I am thinking what I should do next for my business. How to make it grow? How to make it bigger and more popular? How to gain more market? Hence, I am thinking to move to another city, bigger city... but it's all just in mind and heart now. Nothing confirmed yet, especially the permission from my parents. Hope they agree... *fingercrossagain

Secondly, I made another macaron boxes which is prettier than before. I wish this can bring up the name and attract more people. If you want to see more about my macarons, you can visit its Instagram page (ID: cappellomacaron) or its Facebook page.

'til next time then :)

Green Tea & Coffee Macarons
I've been practising macarons recently as I had a lot lot lot of leftover egg white from nastar.
I've been trying to make lemon, coffee and green tea macarons. 
And I am struggling with the lemon one. I made twice and both failed.
I tried using my powder and liquid food colouring and both of them still does not work right.
Now, I am really confused what kind of colouring I should use in macaron. 
In fact, if I buy the colour in-store here in Melbourne, it's damn expensive.

I assume once I get it right (using food colouring), the rest is easy.

Anyway, pictures are here.
The green tea one I use recipe from here but only use 1/3 of the recipe. Also, I found out that this one is really sweet. I should prob find the exact recipe that is not too sweet.


The coffee one, I used my old recipe, I forget from where but I love this recipe cos it's not too sweet.
Also, you can clearly see the difference. This time is much much better than the previous trial. Practice makes perfect.


And if you notice, this time, the macaron has few brown dots on the top (that's the coffee powder). It comes naturally, not sure how, even I did grind my almond meal, icing sugar together with the coffee powder twice and sift it twice. It's kinda cool tho, I love it!

Until next post then!

Classic Cheesecake for Val's Day
Well well well... Time to start baking again!

First time baking in this new year and first time baking in this new apartment.
Trying my new oven, and the result is not too bad but need a lot of settings at first tho.

I baked New York Cheesecake for my colleagues and will bring it tomorrow on Val's Day.
Why cheesecake? Cos they said they love my NY Cheesecake that much. So honoured!

Anyway, I use my usual recipe but this time I decided to put and follow the topping which is just a mixture of 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp caster sugar and 2tsp lemon juice.

I took a bite of the cake just to taste and I feel it's too sour-y. Hmmm...
Maybe it's too much of sour cream and lemon....
I hope inside will taste fine from the sugar mix. 
I am happy with the look tho, I learn something here.
The topping actually makes the top edge does not look burnt as my previous cheesecake, but the taste? Still, I wonder why my very 1st cake in every new recipe always taste better. Sighhhh!
When it comes to baking, I bake into perfection so I am not that happy this time.
Need to edit my recipe then.... 

I am thinking to add something on the top so that it gives the sweet taste and make it not too sour-y but poor me my fridge is just empty at the moment :(

Anw, hope my colleagues will like it!
