Gone Fishing

My old favourite coffee chiffon cake.  One of the cake came out lopsided.  I kept the lopsided cake top and used as part of the lake bank.  I used a marsmallow and icing mixture to add more height to the lake bank resulting in an interesting elevation for the cake.  I made bulrushes by sticking one mini marsmallow into a cocktail toothpick.  I squished the marsmallow until its long a narrow.  I then dipped the shaped marsmallow into cocoa powder.  For the water I spread light blue pipping gel at the lowest part of the cake.  I pipped out green butter cream for the leaves and grass using Wilton tip #352 and #233.

Minion Cupcake Cake

This is how I made my Ube (purple yam) Minion cupcake..  Enjoy! Come see how I made it in this youtube video.  Don't forget to subscribe for more updates! Used Wilton tip 1M to create the rose pattern on the cupcake.  Start pipping from middle cupcake and out.

Pilipit - Filipino Twisted No Yeasts Donut

Pilipit is a Filipino style donut.  It has a crunchy outer shell and a soft inside.  It is similar to bannock or elephant ears.  These are similar to donuts and leavened with baking powder.  Traditionally coated with sugar or glazed I coated mine with powder sugar kind of like their elephant ears counter part.  But you know what they are perfect on their own without sugar.  The dough is sweet enough to hold on its own.   The ones that I made are for some reason soft on the inside.  I'm certain it's because I rested my dough for more than 30 minutes instead of the usual 15 minutes.  If you guys want more crunch in your pilipit just proof it (resting stage) for 15 minutes or less. Pilipit Ingredients: 2 eggs 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil 2 cups all purpose flour ( add a bit more if the mixture sticks to your hand) 3 tablespoon of milk ( add more if final mixture is dr
