coffee macarons with espresso swiss meringue buttercream. success at last! haha (: actually i haven't tried making macarons for over two years :// but anyway, these were really yummy :D
lemon cupcakes filled with lemon curd, with lemon swiss meringue buttercream.
the cupcake was light, fluffy and refreshing. the lemon curd sank to the bottom, haha. my grandparents enjoyed this. my grandfather liked it so much my grandma asked for recipe so she can make it for him (:
strawberry gelato with frozen strawberries. nice and creamy despite not having as much cream as ice cream.
mango sorbet. i always find bright coloured desserts very refreshing, haha.
chewy oatmeal cookies with raisins, chocolate chips and walnuts.
shortbread.
macaron shells with feet! it's so fascinating to watch the feet form in the oven.
italian meringue.
espresso swiss meringue buttercream. smells heavenly (: i'm sure it's not just the coffee addict in me saying that. just kidding, i'm not a coffee addict.
baked two sheets together for the first batch, then found that the lower rack was paler so i switched to baking one sheet at a time.
it's dangerous having so much food and so many desserts in the house at once. must give more away, haha. giving my cousins some macarons (:
