I missed my cooking blog ! I will cook something quite soon.

Luzon Mango Cream Cake

Definitely "Rugi" (making loss) if to use Luzon mango ( check out here for more luzon mango stories) for mango cakes! the seeds are so much bigger than the meat. I m making this small 7" round cake, with 2 medium Luzon mangoes, and still not enough to cover the cake.

When mum eating this cake, she is so 'careful' with every bites she's swaping into mouth. and keep saying ooh luzon mong, must finish. ( in order words, she is more appreciating the mangoes than the cake! )

I realise there are 2 mango good for cakes. Luzon & another type, looks like Filipino mango, but is not! yellow skin, when it's really ripen, really yum yum with beautiful orangey meat !!I like tat more. somemore cheaper than Luzon. I got our Luzon from relatives.

I am still practicing my sponge cake. I want a very spongy, I am still thinking probably is the beat machine tat did the miracle! i.e... to invest a Kenwood or KitchenAid????? ARE MY BOSSES READING MY BLOG? That's my Christmas present!! ;p

Mandarin Orange Cream Cake

"Drying" mandarin oranges from Tin. * I m not sure if this is the way to drain off access water by placing on the kitchen paper*

I am quite busy for the past 2 weeks, really busy. I better post something up here before it goes history or before I go for next errand. I was understressed with both baking the cake + office works when I did it on last sunday, so tensed! so busy! The sponge cake failed in the 1st time early morning at 9am!!! and i need to quickly re-baked it, finally it's okay. I baked a simple sponge cake, sandwiched with single layer of cream only (Dairy whipping cream + sugar + vanilla esc), top with lemon cream and decorated with some mandarin oranges which I bought from TH months ago!


I tot of making some "tangy" cream to balance off the cream cake. Immediately I tot of this Lemon Cream. This time I managed to make it more 'firm', no more gooey like last time even after fridge. The trick is, to cook slightly longer in the pan !

*Cake for mum's birthday*

Mum commented the oranges are quite sour + the cream is even sour! ha ha ha, i use less sugar for cream.. and my sis & the little monkey boy like the cake! The monkey boy cleaned his plate with his tongue! u imagine.

Decor wise...errr forget about it, too greedy on the toppings ( no scrimp!) until almost fall off and the cream really melt fast when I pipe the side. hai, watever again,
