My Fondant cake , watch out, a first timer here

Seems like the fondant was really thick, but what you see is actually the layers of fondant and icing.
看起來好像fondant狠厚 但是其實他是兩層 一層icing一層fondant


OK,so I baked a cake earlier this evening(finally am done w/ my first very scary audition and found time to bake), and yall know that I suck @ icing cakes.
(if yall still remember the cake I made a while ago...it was no bueno)
I always get the crumbs into the icing and it ends up looking all ugly.
So I ran to Michael's and bought some fondant, thinking that , if I'm not gonna ice this cake nice, then I could probably "fondant" it nice. HAHAHAHA
So here is the fondant cake, it start out looking like a very nice wedding cake, all white , w/ an elegant bow on the top.
And yeah, I made the bow too, everything that you see on the cake is made by me!! *proud*
話說今天Millie烤了一顆蛋糕 這是在恐怖的最近 終於考完唱之後找到時間做的
不過 做完之後 想到我實在是狠不會塗icing 每次都會把蛋糕屑給塗進icing去
(如果你們還記得我之前做的蛋糕 就知道有多糟糕了= =)
所以 竟然異想天開的跑去Michael's買了fondant!! (fondant中文是啥母啊?)

M style wedding cake, w/ my sticker on the board.
dang...it looks like a store bought cake because of the sticker...like my own bakery or something..
(the sticker is what I use on my books so I have a bigger chance to get it back when I lost it, and of course, that is if the person who found it is nice enough to do so , however, the printing company print my e-mail address wrong, so they're re-sending me another one)
一開始放上fondant跟比想像中簡單很多的蝴蝶結, 看起來 活就是個結婚蛋糕啊
加上我貼上我的三八貼紙 "Please Return to Mxxxxxxxxxx" 看起來 很像店裡賣的吧
(這個貼紙是Millie用來貼在他的擁有物品上面的 這樣人家撿到才知道還給他 不過印刷的人把e-mail印錯了 所以他們還要重新寄正確的給我哩)

Some nice details
一些小細節

Starting to mess up the cake, just playing w/ it , trying to be creative
開始亂做了 亂加東西

A cake for your valentine , you're more than welcome to place an order since the Valentine's day is just around the corner.

LOL..I'm so random..
現在他變成一個情人節蛋糕了!!
歡迎訂購 我會算便宜的 哈哈

putting on a cute skirt for the cake
幫蛋糕加上華麗的裙子

The final product ..I guess this isn't too bad for a first timer and a person who's never received any training/education on baking and pastry...
and if it is not because of the tiredness that's growing on me, I might just keep on playing w/ it, but I'm just so exhausted..so I guess I'll call it a day.

oh... forgot to mention that it is plain sponge cake with raspberry jam filling = )
這就是他最後演化的樣子了 其實我還可以玩更久 但是實在是狠狠狠累了= =
所以就這樣吧~~對一個第一次接觸fondant跟沒有學過烘培的人 這樣的結果應該是沒有狠差吧我想
然後 這個蛋糕是海綿蛋糕夾心覆盆子醬口味的

whew~~~ 說要搞bilingual blog是沒錯 但是要打兩種語言還真累人 = 9

About my new header 有關我新的header

I was trying to put my tarts on the header, but they were sitting in the Styrofoam box and I thought that it'll probably turn out looking cheap.
But I guess it looks just fine!!
The reason why it was in the styrofoam box was because I was forcing my mom to carry them home so my dad can eat it too. (she was traveling back to Taiwan)
So yeah, I made her hand carry the tart on to the flight. HAHA
At the bottom right corner is the puff pastry I made over the Christmas break.

原本 要放這個塔上header
我心裡還很擔心會看起來很簡陋
因為他是被放在保力龍盒子裡面
為甚麼他會被放在保力龍盒裡頭勒
因為我逼我媽要幫我帶他們回台灣給爸子吃
所以就成為這樣的局面了

We're apple turn overs!!!


Tart w/ Framboise Framboise Framboise!!


These are the first batch~

有一點點長進的Macaron...(應該吧....)

hmm...I guess my macaron making are getting better and better.
I'm planning on turning all my posts billingual.
so that both my friends in TW and here can read it.
Then I guess I'll start doing it for my next post, hahahaa

首先 我不知道為甚麼我拍不出好照片 再來 我真的就是不知道為甚麼 結論 就是我不會拍照 period


吃Macaron配茶(其實這是要讓姊子明天帶去學校的)
最近我很少做Macaron
因為做了之後 就需要試吃
但是他裡面的甜份高到一個極致了
我甚至可以不諱言 他跟本是糖

為甚麼連試吃都不想呢??
因為最近一吃到甜的 頸椎就會很不舒服
不斷的轉轉頭也沒有用 (邊轉還會發出嘎嘎的聲音)
今天為了試吃這一小口
我現在頸椎就很不舒服 然後 原本感冒有好一點點
又開始覺得我的nasal被丟進水裡去了

我只能說

糖

是壞東西

要是Macaron可以不要加糖那該有多好 (因為我只是單純喜歡他的長相 and the idea that it's a very challenging pastry)



用罪惡的塑膠袋子包裝好
因為我沒有緞帶
一梱都沒有阿!!!!!
太不專業了
記得小時候看Martha Stewart的節目
曾經幻想自己有一天可以跟他一樣

所以 現在我決定要多一個開銷
那就是蒐集緞帶!!!
優呴呴

一包賣20塊美金就可以了 謝謝 (伸)
杏仁粉很貴的啊....
