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...

How to feed A BOYFRIEND when you have no intention to cook

I had almost given up cooking before my boyfriend! I've always been enjoying spending time in the kitchen, but, often time, I just gave in to my laziness. Plus, I had my perfect excuses: 1. I'm a busy phD student; 2. I'm spending most of my "kitchen time" baking. So I'm really used to a rather simple meal plan myself: homemade bread for breakfast, salad for lunch and yogurt for dinner. (I try to balance the protein and starch in it, so, don't worry, I can totally be filled up.) With all my passion (and time), I made bread for myself and cakes for friends. However, all these routine somehow changed when I started to take on the responsibility to feed someone- someone who is an ultimate meat lover, who hates salad (I mean, all the green leaves), who would never join my meal plan. Alas, the game completely changed- only I'm still the lazy girl as I've always been. So I came up with a couple of tricks for the "game": 1. Make it simple...

The lesson from those pancakes, ur... green tea crepe cake, I mean, Green Tea Mille Crêpes

I don't know if it's just the hypes among us trendy New Yorkers, but suddenly all my friends are talking about this bakery called Lady M. It even become a must-try activity in my friends' list when some of them come to NYC. So I can't help but wonder, what's the magic about Lady M? Of course as a phD. student who solves problems by trying them out (rephrase: as a FOODIE who cannot resist to try anything yummy), I waited in the line and finally got to try their signature Green Tea Mille Crêpes. It was worth waiting, the cake was nice with my favorite green Tea and an interesting texture.  However, are all the hypes and craziness about this cake really worthy? I wasn't sure... I was expecting something heavenly. Then I looked up their webpage and saw their description about the cake: Fine green tea powder is infused into every element of our delicate Green Tea Mille Crêpes, a sight to behold with no less than twenty lacy thin crêpes enveloping the light...
