~ first baking demo



This swiss roll was made using 5 eggs recipe, with extra cream as requested by my boy.


First time baking with my dad ?????~?????

Last week when I was back to my hometown, I visited my dad and as usual, we chat a lot sharing our cooking and baking stories. Yes, my dad is a great home baker! He is 75yo this year. The way he bake is no-recipe method and that's where I learnt to create new recipe. Perhaps I should say I'm lucky to have his gene...and I knew that gene was from my grandma. My grandma was in the generation that she could bake madeleine and cakes using a tin and charcoal. No oven, no electricity required. Alright I think I should stop here else I'll be blogging my grandma stories...

Back to my swiss roll stories, yes, I was so happy that I get to bake with my dad for the first time. He whipped up the meringue with a hand whisk, I did the rest of the work. No worries, my dad has strong muscle power! lol.... The one that we made together, we did it without fresh cream because my parents don't eat cakes with cream. It was filled with his homemade Kaya and I can tell you, it tastes even better than the one with fresh cream! No kaya swiss roll photo was taken on that day because I always leave my phone in my bag when I spending time with my family.

First time baking for 100 pax for food tasting





I was one of the volunteered baker in SHC anniversary event. Helped to bake some swiss rolls for the food tasting session, with a live demo on the spot. 

These were the rolls that I started to bake on Saturday night 10pm and ended my baking on Sunday at 2:30am. My very first ROLL AROUND THE CLOCK baking, although it's tiring but I enjoyed the process to the max until I forgot how many rolls I have baked! lol...Just baked more to be given out to my son's music school teachers and his friends :)
