in continuation of my macha craze, i decided to make something macha-related again. i'm not usually a fan of chiffon or any other "rustic" cakes and anything less than 4 components simply bores me. but i bought some really cute mini angel cake tins and i just hv to use them!
i can't believe myself with all these dangerous venturing into fine dining places, one by one, and my love-hate affairs with them. love - the ambience, the chef's creations/presentations which are like works of art, always, plus impeccable service to boot. hate? probably just the price. if money was never an issue, i forsee going to these places umm..daily? haha. but i was so glad i went to jaan, coz it had been an eye-opener for me. i've been to semi-fine dining restaurants but this one...it just tops all of those i've been to, and i don't just mean the price.
last week saw me through a wedding order and some insane dessert attempts. i made lots of desserts in a span of one week or so, and i dunno where i got the energy & stamina from, consider that i was pretty much shut off few months ago. remember what i said about bringing butter or cream cheese to room temp only to put it back later? i was THAT lazy. then suddenly, i find myself churning out dessert after dessert, never feeling tired at all. basically i think i just wanna challenge myself in creating all these. and everytime i succeed on my first attempt, i get a real sense of satisfaction!
