Honey Glazed Waffles - Valentine 2010

Four more days to Valentine! To this romantic occasion, I've crafted Honey Glazed Waffles companied by Icy Mountain Berry with a tinge of floral note ... Woosh! Cool and Sweeeet! *haha* While describing, I've the urge to 'taste' them.

It took me two days to finish this set of waffles which I called: Berry Love (since pinkish strawberry is the theme for the set?) Anyway the drink was made from trial and errors to get the correct color tone. During my first mixing of color, the pink was too bright and the drink became opaque as I added too much color into the epoxy resin. So I've to redo and yup, I somehow got the impression I want... somehow... though not exactly ... 


Feel free to comment on my handicrafts so I can make improvement ya! :) hee...

This year is special as Chinese Lunar New Year and Valentine fall on the same day :)  Goodies and... awesome time spent together with our love ones! Hereby, I wish you an early Sweety Romantic Chinese New Year!!!  =D 

Cheers! :)

Blessed New Year to All!

A blessed new year to you! 

It has been a busy busy year since my school term started and thus did not have time to sculpt miniatures and hence not much updates for my post... Apologies for that to all my readers... :C 

Thankfully, it's the period of my internship now which means I've got spare time for miniature making! :D 

It got me some time to familarise all the steps of making miniatures....  And the chinese saying ''熟能生巧'' (meaning practice make perfect) has always been on my mind that motivated me to never give up for failed attempts on miniature making! haha :)

These are the type of breads which I've made.

Scrambled-egg with lettuce and mayonnaise bread

Loaves of Baguette and Crunchy Star-Cookies

Chinese Tradition: 喜饼 "Xi Bing" & Push-cart

Here they are, a variety of miniatures that were made during my school vacation :)
Enjoy browsing..! :D

Chinese Tradition: 喜饼 ("Xi Bing") for newlywed,

I got a push-cart as a gift from my sister-in-law few years ago and didn't use it until I started to make miniatures. However, the cart was yet to be decorated and seemed rather unattractive. Oops... Probably will find some time to transform the cart! hee...

Cheers,

P.S: ''Thanks'' to my ''wonderful'' camera shooting skills, I always think that my miniature pictures weren't clear enough :X Dear readers, pardon me for the poor-quality photographs for now ya...  I'm not a good photographer but still hope to have snapshots that are clear and sharp pictures for my miniatures!

I'll be very glad to receive advices from you for better shooting skills :)

Stay Cheerful!

Unique Pastry - Kürtöskalács

I went to Food Fest at Takashimaya and found a new pastry in town. It was such a pity that I didn't bring my camera along to take the unique process of how it was made.

Anyway that was the Chimney cake, has any one tried that before? It looks something like this: From my research, this bread is also known as Kürtöskalács, a Hungarian traditional pastry and origins in Transylvania.

From what I saw, the dough was rolled around a wooden spool and coated with sugar then turned around open oven. The sugar is caramelized during heating and thus coating can be done then. *Aroma* Coating include cinnamon, oreo, or almonds.

keke I'm a ''bread'' person who can fill my stomach just with breads for the entire day! haha, curiousity led me to try it, of cause! I chose cinnamon, it was hot & crunchy and not too sweet. Yummie! I felt it was kinda healthy as the dough was mixed with nuts, raisins etc ... Though the process seems simple, I think it's creative =D

Anyway I've checked online and found that they'll be selling this pastry during S'pore River Festival on 17-26 July 2009 @ Read Bridge-Clarke Quay. So if you're interested, do try it out! =)

Cheers!
