My Dear Eclairs

noreply@blogger.com (Cupcake Lovers) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 06:47:00 +0000

Wonder where you could get those soft, luscious and with a streak of melted chocolate on the top eclairs? Yes! Actually you can make it on your own. Provided you have all the right ingredients, the right tools and method. Voila! Eclairs on the table ready to be serve. But before we're going to start making one. Let's get some flash back on where these beautiful and magnificent pastry came form.

Eclair probably originated from French. The word "eclair" actually means lightning in French. It seems doesn't have any connection with pastry but nobody cares as long it tastes good, right? Now, eclairs are made from choux dough and can be filled with custard or even whipped cream and topped with an icing. Nowadays, it is topped with chocolate icing.

As the celebration time is near, I have some plans to do this succulent pastry. I can't wait to try it by myself. ( Not to mention eating by myself. Hahaha! ) Sometimes it is good to test all of your cooking and baking skills during the festive holidays. I like to do new recipes for baking and cooking...and festive holidays are a good test bed, for as all of your family members and friends will give sincere comments. From these comments, you could improve on any areas that needed the improvement. Ok... your ears could become as red as the tomatoes in the fridge but it is worth it.

I think I'll set off to find all the ingredients and will bake me some Eclairs!

Eggless Tiramisu

noreply@blogger.com (Cupcake Lovers) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 11:09:00 +0000

Sunday. What a nice Sunday to enjoy a slice of Eggless Tiramisu and hot tea. Every bite melts on your tongue with that cold tingly taste of coffee and cream cheese.

As this is not the original Tiramisu but it still taste good. I can't find any lady fingers near my house so I just use normal chocolate sponge cake. Nevertheless, it is delicious and quick to prepare it. The only part that is hard to wait for it to chill in the fridge for few hours. Oh, few hours are a torture to me! Seeing it lay in the fridge with that velvety plush surface,with that layers of divine cream cheese and generous sprinkle of cocoa. Oh, a real torture!

But at last, I plunged myself after the long wait. It was worth the wait. It was a sweet torture.The longer you wait the better of the outcome.

So,you want to make a Lemon Meringue Pie?

noreply@blogger.com (Cupcake Lovers) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 10:33:00 +0000

After a lot of thinking, I thought I should post the Lemon Meringue Pie here for of you friends out there. Have fun!

Lemon Meringue Pie

Pastry

1 and 1/2 cups plain flour
3 teaspoons icing sugar
140g butter
1 egg yolk
2 tbs water

Filling

1/2 cup cornflour
1 cup castor sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 and 1/4 cups water
2 tsp grated lemon rind
3 egg yolks
60g unsalted butter

Meringue

3 egg whites
1/2 cup caster sugar
A pinch cream of tartar

Instruction:

For Pastry

1.Set your oven first at 200 celcius.Grease your pie pan or pie dish. I don't have either both so I just use my normal round cake pan.

2.Combine flour & icing sugar and sift.

3.Then put in slices of slightly soft cold butter and rub it until turns to like bread crumbs.After that, put in 1 egg yolk

4.Fold it and make it into a dough.Wrap with film wrap and pop it in the fridge for 1/2 hour

5.After 1/2 an hour in the fridge. Take the dough out and roll it as usual on your board. If the dough is too soft just put a little bit of flour.Then lay it on your pie pan.

6.Lay a greaseproof paper that fits on your pie pan, put in beans or rice according to your preference. Then blind bake the pastry for 10-20 minutes. After 20 mins,take out the greaseproof paper with your beans or rice. Be careful it is hot. Then pop in the pastry back in the oven again,bake for another 20 mins or until golden brown. In the picture I use rice for blind baked the pastry. Then I use the rice to make porridge. Don't waste any food.
After baked, let the pastry cool.

For Filling

1. Combine water,cornflour,sugar & lemon juice in a saucepan. On medium high,whisk the ingredients until it thickens. After that, take out 1/3 of the lemon mixture and whisk it into the 3 egg yolks in another bowl. At this time you must be quick or you will get a scramble egg.Then transfer back the egg mixture into the saucepan,put in the butter and lemon rind.Cook it at low heat for another 10 minutes.This to make sure that the lemon filling is properly cook and will not make it soggy.

When the pastry is cool a bit, pour in the lemon filling.The proceed to do the meringue.

Meringue

1.Combine the egg whites & cream of tartar.Whisk until soft peak forms. The gradually,put in the caster sugar then whisk again until stiff peak.

Then put the meringue on the lemon pie,use your creativity to give the meringue some texture.The bake in the oven at 190 degree celcius for 10 mins.

After 10 mins, take out the lemon meringue pie and let it cool completely. Yeah, I know it looks delicious not to mention the smell is irresistible but it is important to let it cool completely.

Here's the finish pie:

Well, there you go! The complete tutorial. I will post another tutorial soon. Thinking to do my version of Tiramisu. Yessss...!!! You heard me. TIRAMISU! So watch out the post!

noreply@blogger.com (Cupcake Lovers) — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 03:22:00 +0000

Suddenly I have this obsession about Mr Lemon Meringue Pie. Before this I never have the thought of any pie in my life. I'm such a lazy creature when it comes to pie. One day, I stumbled upon a picture of a lovely piece of a Lemon Meringue Pie.Oh..it looked dazzling! With the white meringue and the layer of lemon filling! So, appealing!

Then I thought, I would give it a try. So, I did made a Lemon Meringue Pie last Sunday. It was a hit! All of my family love it and it was my first time did the pie! In case you wonder how to do it, I will post it in my Tutorial Page. Plus, it was easy!

Ok, above was my piece of pie! Not really a handsome cut but the taste was so heavenly! Something different from cakes and cupcakes. Just love to try new things! Now I'm totally converted! Pies are wonderful! Maybe next time, I will do Chocolate Pie. I love chocolate. I'm a freak when it comes to chocolate! Love the colour, the smell....oooo...better get back to the original topic. So, try make one Lemon Meringue Pie! You will be surprised!

Hi friends,

I've made a cupcake bouquet yesterday a sample for a friend that she wanted to give to her mum for Mother's Day. The size of the bouquet approx 30cm tall and consists of 7 pcs of cupcakes decorated with buttercream.
Again, I must apologize the quality of the photo as I'm using a handphone camera. Nevertheless, I'm open for booking this Mother's Day. Hurry! The early bird catches the worm! Oh, the price is RM40 for normal plastic pot. For using a fancy vintage-like clay pot the price would be different accordingly.

Happy Mother's Day
