Finding back my confidence in baking :)

After my disappointing exam bakes & a few failed sponges in a day... I started to doubt my baking skills... until I made these chocolate pear cakes...

Chocolae Poire Torte

 

Chocolae Poire Domes

 

These were nothing near to perfect but they made me feel good and motivated once again! The torte was supposed to be covered in chocolate glacage but once again, they were not frozen enough for me to do it... a re-enactment of my fateful exam day. Haha... The small ones were frozen enough to be covered with glacage though. However, in view of the non-aircon environment, I think the temperature for pouring glacage will have to be lower so that it will cover better... Anyway, I overwhipped the cream and the chocolate mousse for the cakes was a little on the heavy side but I would say the overall taste was still good!

 

On the very same day, I made my usual cinnamon rolls... these were delicious but I think I would want to try a different recipe the next time. I want more fluffy cinnamon rolls....

 

 

Continuing on my baking journey... Happy bakers = Yummy bakes
