My granny's 80th bday coming soon next month (in Feb) and my mum's 60th bday in June. Would love to hear from you how to make such a BEAUTIFUL agar agar so I can surprise them. Can you please teach us? Thanks!
 
hi ladies,
am new in this thread although i been reading and trying some of the recipes here.

have a Q. i baked a banana pound cake yesterday. its the first time i did a pound cake and the texture is dense, even denser than butter cakes. i was wondering if i did something wrong, lousy recipe or its just the texture of a pound cake. its delicious though, just that its not as soft as normal cakes. does anyone know how a pound cake shld be like?
 
PPP...cos my oven is small mah...one time can only bake abt 9-10 tarts...the receipe yield abt 28 tarts so 3 batches loh...i can only bake after my dear Yuheng sleep after 8 pm plus!! this afternoon bake pizza again !! addicted liao...this round is Hawaiian Pizza...makes u all drool again kekeke.

what's the reason that only center rise but side never rise?
 
RE: Agar Agar
Let me go and find out the brand of agar agar powder that I had bought and I will share the recipes.

Here's some steps:
1) Base - I did two layer on a round tin. Coconut mixture first then red colour mixture. Freeze it then overturn onto plate.
2) Peach - Prepare pink and green mixture, use stringe (baby's medicine kind) to lay the leaf portion with green mixture. Wait for it to dry then pour the pink mixture over. (Repeat to get 6 peaches)
3) SHOU - Prepare red and orange mixture, use stringe (baby's medicine kind) to lay the word with red. Wait for it to dry then pour the orange mixture over.

Just arrange all the peaches and the word on the base. And u got it !!

Trick : Get Plain (white) Agar Agar powder. Just add coconut milk and colouring to get the colours u want.

RE: PEACH MOULD
I bought it from Jurong West 500+ market. I bought only 1 so need alot of time to make the whole artpiece. I can help u all to get if u need it. Let me post the recipe, and see how many of u are interested okie? My FIL loves it and many of the relatives say it is nice and taste nice. hehe.
 
CL,
I also interested in getting oven leh. Everytime need to go my mum's hse to bake, very troublesome.

RE: Oven
Anyone interested to share what brand is good and cheap? If I get one, will be able to bake when my gal is sleeping.. hehe..
 
may wong

carefour promotion morries brand 42L $100. U can check it out.
 
fatmum,

sad.gif


cl n mayw0ng,

I also just bought a new oven not long ago mine is tefal Activy S$199. This oven needs to take longer time to bake cake leh....

Maywong,

How much is the peach mould? got any other 'fruit' mould?
 
xiau ling,
Thanks. I will pop by these few days to see.

ppp,
I only notice the peach mould leh. Dun think got other mould. If I pass by, help u see. The peach mould cost abt $2 if I am not wrong.
 
Ladies,
Thank you all for the lovely comments..

Eron,
I wish I know how to make good Durian Cake too. Jane Cake Station Durian Cake is simply wonderful. They use good quality durian to make the exceptional taste..

Chicken Little,
Thank you for your kind offer. So far, nothing to get from Sun Lik yet.. If go, sure got things to buy. I am putting up in the East.

Wow, you scrapbooking too? I have bought all the materials but yet to start. Too hooked up with baking. Cupcakes is my favourite. Next time can ask you for pointers on scrapbooking.
 
May Wong,
Very nice agar-agar you have made for your FIL on his birthday.
I like the glossy texture and wonderful colours on the agar-agar.
Can't bear to eat..
I am sure he is touched.

Lollie,
Can share some pics of the fondant made?
TIA!

Sunny,
I am sorry me no expert on chiffon cake.
Did you overbeaten the batter? It may cause the cake to sink if overbeaten as too much bubbles will be released.
Else, might be your oven temperature too hot and not evenly distributed.
Don't think substituing white sugar with brown sugar will cause that.
 
Peng,
Thanks!
You may try it too, itz simple.
Wow, your Hawaiian Pizza does makes me DROOL AGAIN..
So generous in your toppings..
My gal will sure to attack your pizza anytime.

PPP,
TQ too.
Yes, itz buttercream icing.
This time around trying out the brighter for a change for the New Year.. hehehe!

Mama to 5Js,
Welcome to the baking thread!!
You bought your Kitchen Aid? Wow!
May I know how much was it?
Planning to get one..
 
mama to 5Js,
The name 'pound' was given because the original recipes contained one pound each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour.
Pound cakes are rich and creamy and dence in texture.
Your cake is relatively ok as it should be that way.
Happy Baking!

Fatmum,
Thanks. Ya, will be great if any kind mummies going to Japan can help us buy..

Hi May,

I love your agar agar. May I know if the Jurong West shop faces the big open air carpark or the hawker centre? I was there last weekend but never see the mold leh ....
 
jj
ya, i do think that it's because of the temperature of the oven.... nvm let me try again. thanks!

wieixy
thanks for the encouragement.

pink
thanks! saw that one of the steps is to:
(3) Gently fold beaten egg white into egg yolk batter
what's the correct technique to fold the ingredients into the batter?

the recipe that i used was using baking soda. how would it make the difference if i use baking powder?
 
Steffie,
replied yr mail on friday leh, rcvd?

caramum,
too bad u can't join our party
sad.gif

or you wanna bring her along?

hwee,
see durian cake remind me to yr b'dae, 4 or 5 yrs ago? We had dim sum, but we smuggled in durian cake i made for u.. Then we sing a super loud b'day song for u to make u red face, ha ha! Then i lost my office ID card after tat meal
sad.gif
 
Hi sunny,
i usually use baking soda when the baking ingredient content acid thingy i.e yogurt, or fruit juice.

Jj extracted a full term of baking soda n baking powder, u can scroll up n read it
happy.gif


folding method, hmmm.... Many ways i think, some ppl using write number 8 method.
I'm using my mummy method, like scooping or playing yoyo method, and cutting method, tis is oso the method i'm teaching in my workshop.

frm yr photo, yr sponge cake texture looks smooth, seems like not the folding method faulty. perhaps baking time not long enuf? Oven temperature?
 
pink,
ask u ah, why when i cook the pineapple ah,
1) it become crunchy after bake, why ah?
2) then why my pots burnt ah?

which kind of pot should i use?

peng,

Do u gals beat the egg b4 putting into the mixer to mix wif other ingredients?
 
Hi Bakers and mummies,
Totally enjoyed this thread! Simply loved the passion for baking here. I thought it would be nice if we could borrow the idea of the other bloggers- occasionally(we r all busy poeple!) , we could set one topic like cake using fruits, cake using certain ingredients, whatever. Then we can try to bake the same thing and share our sucess/failures/experience. Like that can learn a lot from each other. Wat u think? Can be fun. Maybe PINK can be the one to set a topic?

Haha.. I talk a lot hor? Seldom post any fruits here.. lazy la.. must resize n upload... paiseh..
 
hoho...i got the receipe from this thread also..if u want extremely thin crust...remove a little portion of the dough b4 shaping onto baking tray...

Dough:
200 gm. plain flour - sifted
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Instant Yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
110 ml. water
1 tbsp. cornoil or olive oil

Toppings:
200 gm. Ham - cut into small pieces
5 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
some sliced Hot Dogs
7 slices of cheese (Kraft singles slice)
250 gm. Mozarella Cheese

Method:
(1) For dough: Mix ingredients in a mixing bowl. Knead into a pliable dough. Add in oil and water, continue to knead until very smooth. Leave to rise until it doubles in volume for about 40 mins.
(2) Punch down dough and shape it into a ball and rest for 10 mins.
(3) Roll dough into a round shape - the size of your pizza pan. Use fork to prick holes onto the dough.
(4) Rest dough for 20 mins.
(5) Half-bake ( 200C ) the pizza dough for 8 to 10 mins. then remove from oven.
(6) Spread tomato paste onto the pizza dough.
(7) Place slices cheese, then ham, sliced hot dogs.
(8) Sprinkle mozarella cheese on top.
(9) Bake at 200C for about 15 mins. or till cheese turns golden brown.
(10) Remove from oven and serve hot.

* You can use any topping you desire like prawns, tuna, cuttlefish rings and clams

hoho03 (hoho03),
1) it become crunchy after bake, why ah?
===> you bake the outside pineapple jam syle issit? did you brush the egg yolk + oil? need to brush lei.
2) then why my pots burnt ah?
===> i usually use the non stick pots / fry pan to cook my pineapple tarts filling.
which kind of pot should i use?
===> using TEFAL non stick brand

Thanks mummies for the compliments on the agar agar. But the peach is for diaplay only leh..it dun stick to the base. I just arrange it on top. Sorry to have mislead u all. I wanted to get a tray that had the peaches on it but dun have. So ended up doing it separately lor.

Sorry dun have sliced photo leh.

RE: Agar Agar Mould

CL,
You going where to get the oven? I was thinking of baking Jamie's cupcakes at my mum's house. As for my own oven perhaps can wait. Maybe we can arrange to get together. hehe.
