Medal reception

Receiving the medal from the cake competition, at Monroe college. I had a great time.

Star Wars Cake

It was a great practicing to make this cake, took me a long time to made the characters which I made ahead. It was a red velvet cake with traditional cream cheese icing. I made one for test and tasted really good.

test with lights 

Cakedoll

I got an order of two cake which one is a cake doll, so before i do it I decide to make one as practice.
This is my first cake doll. Devil food cake with 2 layers of chocolate butter cream and two of ganache.

After a week or so, I made the real one, both cakes have the same flavor.

Cookies

I can't remember where this recipe came from, but it was really good.

 Recipe from Momofoku milk bar book. I love this book but the recipes are very difficult.

My mom used to make these all the time when I was little. Homesick :)

Made from a Brazilian magazine

Strawberry tart, the top glaze was way too thick and the crust could be more flaky, overall was okay.

Corn Muffin with guava in the center. The muffin wasn't too sweet, the guava paste gives a balance.

Made from Sarabeth's Bakery cookbook

I really like this book, all the recipes tested so far  had great results and easy to make, some are more challenge than others but overall anyone with a basic understanding in the kitchen will enjoy it.
Challah bread, instead of baking two breads I decide to work on a big one, because of that it took longer to bake and created a thick crust, but was soft and delicious.

Ruby cake, very easy to make and tasty, best when fresh.

Margaret's Espresso Cake, really good!!!

Strawberry Ice Cream, for me was a little too sweet, but very creamy. 

Eclair practicing for my baking and pastry class, I tried three flavor Chai Tea, Matcha Green Tea and Safran with Cardamon.
