New year, new start, new life~

I got to say that, I've been procrastinating about this post for too long- from 2014 to 2015 lol. It was made for little Sam's baby shower party back in December of 2014; by the time this post is on, he should be delivered at any time! 
It is exciting to post this cake as my first work of 2015.  I tried to add more fun to the cake, coz I was asked to make something special for the party~ FYI: the biscuits surrounding are made of meringue and the tidy bear is made of marzipan and cocoa powder. As for the cake, it is a layered cocoa sponge cake with raspberry cream cheese mousse.
Was doing a terrible job taking the pics though as I was in a rush :(


Not gonna do lots of ramblings about 2014 or 2015.
A lot more happened in the past year than I thought/ Should always appreciate what I have at this moment./ Will try worry less and do more in 2015.


Most importantly, will keep baking and posting :)
xoxo~

First bread in my new kitchen: Thomas Keller's multigrain batard

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Isn't spring the moving season? Yes, to me I guess as I've been moving for two years in a row at this time of year. Sadly I finally moved out from the glorious upper east side of New York after being there for 4 years (can't believe! is it that long already??), to the "humble" Queens.. However, after I moved in, I'm starting to love my neighborhood. There is actually quite a few to explore and to discover (I mean, hmm, restaurant) in Queens. Indeed, I can't just improvise to make a call to order some Chinese food delivered to my door, or walk to the French bakery a few blocks away whenever I want. Luckily I can opt to make my own.  With a good multigrain bread, some jam/spread, slices of good cheese, I am considering myself having a perfect breakfast/brunch. Of course, the world is even better if there is a cup of tea :) Multigrain batards are the most frequently-ordered bread I do in store- they're crust...

Continue the whole crepe theme: cocoa& banana infused crepe cake

I've been making crepe cakes in a row for three weeks! That sounds ridiculous even to myself, but I just like to keep practicing one recipe until I finally feel happy about it. As a result, I never get the have the 'beliked' cakes often. Now, after my crepe cake battle, I did learn some tricks, especially about how to have really thin crepes. Let's have some troubleshooting, shall we? For those who are not familiar with crepe cakes, or care only about how they taste but never bother to know how they're made, crepe cakes are assembled by layers of crepes, filled with cream in between. To make a crepe cake, you make the crepes individually, let them cool, and layer them to compose the cake with the cream as 'glue'. The whole process is nothing fancy, just get your 'bricks and cement' ready and be a good builder! What is tricky are the quality of your materials, in other words, to get your crepes as thin as possible. There are professional crepe ...

Chocolat in my bread- meet my cocoa&chestnut sourdough light rye bread XD

As a phD student who is "with all her heart" devoted to science and conquering cancer- lol just kidding... by which I mean life is kinda boring and simplified- I figure that I really need to have some serious hobbies! Baking of course pops up first and it has been more or less my weekly routine. But recently I got to think that I should more or less expand a little bit. Let's say,  after I baked this bread (baking), I spent time taking pictures of it (photography), I posted it on my blog (blogging), and I need to work out to burn out the calories the bread brought me (jogging and rock climbing). See, now I have quite a few hobbies lol.     Part of the above is joking, but I've never really doing something consistently for long, so I really hope I'm going to putting new stuffs in my blog. And I met so many cool friends while climbing, and I never expected I would be enjoying it so much!  As I've been baking artisan bread for a while, I'm consisten...
