Portuguese Egg Tarts again! :D

Same recipe as my previous attempt - taken from the book "Irresistable Pastry" by Alex Goh. I like the outlook of the tarts this time round but the crust was not crispy enough. I suspect it might be the oven temperature or the too thick containers or maybe the process of making the puff pastry itself. Hope I'll get some answers during my next attempt. :)

Tarts for Sale?!? :P

Disastrous Baking Day :(

On the left is the first disastrous bake of the day... It is a Durian Cheesecake for my sis's birthday. Everything appears to be going well until it went into the oven and a big crack appeared on the surface. That is why it is covered with nuts in the middle... :P But hazelnuts do not complement the taste of cheese n durian.

Without much tools and ideas for deco AGAIN... I decided to just write on the cake. I guess I was lazy too. And my pek-cek-ness with the cracked cake made me feel sian about decorating it. So end product looks.... Eeks... Taste wise, still ok... edible la... (Recipe from: Kitchen Corner)

Next up, is Chocolate Cream Cheese Eclair (Recipe from: Aunty Yochana) The choux pastry was actually still quite good... just tt the chocolate cream cheese filling was more watery than what it should have been and it could not be piped at all. I would say it still tasted quite nice. Worth giving it another try. :)
