I love going to Eileen's place...

Swam, steam-bathed and fooled around before going down to JEC to get baking stuffs.

Reached her place at abt 9.

And guess what time we started baking????? 3 plus!!!!!!....hurhurhur.........


Anyway being ambitious (or is it overly-ambitious).....we decided to bake a strawberry cream cake......chocolate fondant and Hui Boon's cheesecake......didn't have enough time so we gave the chocolate chip cookies a miss....oh btw....we baked from scratch....no premixes used except for the cheesecake....a whooping 100 marks for our efforts. HA.


The sponge cake for strawberry cake was a total flop. It'd look more like the Himalayas...a flying saucer, rock...whatever la...anything but a sponge cake!!!!!!!
It was disastrous it tasted so bad ....I thought it kinda tasted like synthetic rubber....coz we got the wrong flour!!!!!!!!!!!
Eileen's mum then decided to bake a butter cake to be used as the sponge base.

Whipped cream went wrong......our puree wasn't puree....it was jam....everything just wasn't right....
But we still went ahead la.....did up the cake eventually but coz the cream was so watery (yeah I dunno why) we had to freeze the cake in the freezer. So in the end our cake looked like some strawberry ice cream cake.
It look alright. We tasted it. It was okayyyyyyyyyyy la. Just a lil too sweet. But eating too much of the funny cake made us feel so ugh-ish..........
So my sis is so gonna finish it for me. HEH.



Our chocolate fondant was not perfect. But it was much better compared to our cake.
The fondant was supposed to be crispy on the outside with chocolate oozing out.
Alas....it was soft on the inide but NO CHOCOLATE OOZED OUT!!!!!!!!!!
Haha....but it tasted quite ok....thought it was pretty good considering it was our first attempt at a chocolate fondant though it'd seemed like chocolate kueh....HEH.....


Cheese cake was quite a breeze.....I've learnt that premix saves the day....haha......
A lil too soft.....but tasted heavenly.......


The verdict: My Dad thinks the strawberry cake is nice.....My Mum thinks the chocolate fondant tastes better....=)


Oh I love eating at Eileen's place.....aunty Mila her maid cooks damn delicious food.....had a really yummeh dinner there......=)


Eileen has a cool mum with a potential to become a baker. HAHA.
