Meet My Ginger Cookies!


Meet the ginger cookies I made, with the help of my sister and my friend (Who is a professional Chef) I successfully baked 22 cookies.

decorating them was the fun part! This is an Arabic Dressed Ginger Bread Boy!! :) it's really nice to use your creativity to make unique designs! These are the things you'll remember!

Again I insist that the most important thing is oven baking timing! The cookies too exact 8 minutes!

Awesome Chocolate Cake




I over baked this one, but it turned out good! for next time I will only put it on oven for 30 minutes although the book says and hour!! Oven is the tricky thing in baking, I still have lots to figure out!

What made this cake is the icing! it's also tricky the making and applying of it! Anyhow all turned out perfect chocolate evening :)...

Spinach Pinwheels with a Twist!


Yup! these are spinach pinwheels, but with an add on, my sister suggested we adding dried tomatoes and feta cheese which ended up to be mouth-watering experience!!! It's always nice to have company in the kitchen! Thanks "D" it was your idea after all xx.

Oh I admit the spreading of the filling was not all that perfect, add all the filling on one edge is not the best way, but it's a learning experiences. It's better to spread the filling all over the pastry evenly then roll it.

This is for you Ala':

Ingredients:

250g Frozen Spinach Thawed
100g Feta Cheese Crumbled
1\2 Cup Finely grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Sheets Puff Pastry
1 Egg

Preheat oven to 220C Fan forced
Oil tray and line with baking paper
Squeeze excess moisture from Spinach, chop spinach coarsely (The one I bring is already chopped) pat it dry with kitchen paper
Sprinkle spinach and combined cheeses over the pastry sheets roll tightly to enclose filling.
Cut each roll into 12 slices
Place wheels cute-side up on tray/s brush with little egg. Bake about 15 minutes or until browned lightly.

Family Chocolate Cake!

A Successful experiences indeed! The Family Chocolate Cake was extremely successful, I hosted a tea afternoon for my closest friends, who objected over adding topping cream on the cake, so I suggesed we put the cream aside for those who can afford to eat, everyone ended eating.

This cake was very special it was fluffy moist and heavenly delicious!

As I am blogging I am baking another chocolate experience, "The Chocolate Peppermint Cake" will post pics soon.

My Baking Mistake #1!!




I started off my baking marathon 2 weeks ago, I baked nice things and whoever tasted my cakes loved them. I must admit I bake good but that doesn't mean I didn't do mistake, the mistake I did in this recipe is I added the chocolate layer and candy on the dough before baking where I should have done it the other way round! I promise myself I will not do this mistake again! Baking is a really sensitive task you must be extremely alert when you are baking!!
