Sinful and deep desires!
Today marks the end of my 6-months internship in the Faraway land. I decided to treat the company to some cupcakes as an appreciation to the company for being such wonderful mentors, colleagues and friends! Thus, I spent half of my weekend baking some chocolate espresso cupcakes in the kitchen (or maybe it’s just an excuse to satisfy Miss Chocoholic’s cravings).
Mhmmm…these cupcakes are just soooo rich and soooo sinful! But who cares? I love them! The first batch of cupcakes didn’t have the strong espresso taste I was expecting, so I added a tad bit more espresso in the second batch. Ahhh…the subtle aroma of espresso, mixed together with a rich chocolate flavor…heavenly! I topped the cupcakes with a layer of chocolate ganache (get what I mean by sinful?) and decorated them with an assortment of lil things such as chopped nuts, thousands and hundreds, white chocolate chips, silver sugar balls and chocolate rice.
Here are the visuals for the cupcakes!

Pick me up!
I had some Bailey’s and Sponge fingers left over from the Tiramisu I made for my mum’s birthday. Since I have the tendency to let things sit on the shelf or in the fridge for too long, I decided to make something out of it. After much research, I decided to try something rather unique – Tiramisu truffles. Okay… I admit it’s not THAT unique, both Tiramisu and truffles are common desserts you find. Then again, how often do you see Tiramisu truffles?
So here you go, the first batch of Tiramisu truffles! (Yes, there’s mascarpone cheese in it)
The truffles are now on our menu!! They were the best sellers for our ‘lil Father’s Day event. The base comes in a choice of white chocolate, milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Coatings range from cocoa powder, dessicated coconut, chopped nuts to icing sugar. We’re going to try out new flavours and coatings for these babies, so stay tuned!
PS: I finally made a post on our blog! Hurray for procrastination! Now no one will say I don’t ever blog, hahaha.. =P
Toodles,
Cherry
Having Fun while Baking
The Sweethut Team gathered again at my place on Saturday to rush out a new set of orders, among which was a “special” order. We actually spent Friday night shopping for the various items to make this “special” order. Its really amazing how efficient we are getting at churning out orders these days, or maybe its my uber mixer.
So anyway we managed to come up with the usual Linzers, choc chip cookies and…. our brand new CUPCAKES!
Here is the “special” order
Oh yea and who says baking was merely slaving over an oven, I decided to get creative and made the sweethut team out of spare dough
Signing off….

The Case of the Missing CHERRY
Most Saturdays is when the Sweethut Team gathers for a nice lunch, discuss what is going on and do some mass baking together. So just last Saturday, we met at Holland village (me and Sz met first). Cherry was suppose to meet us after her lunch at city hall, but the poor gal’s phone betrayed her and died :p.
Fortunately before her phone gave up on her, Cherry (our protagonist) managed to squeeze out 1 last sms telling her friends (me and sz) that she was by the food court in Holland V. But there were several food court and I got her sms only after a delay. So due to this communication breakdown, sz and I went round the entire Holland V, entering shops, checking the shopping centers, even the Phoonhuat nearby! But in the end we concluded that we had a missing Cherry and decided to head off to settle the baking at my place :p
Turns out Cherry was safe at home after waiting for us for 40 minutes. Which brings me to the point….. should I get everyone a walkie talkie set?
Signing off…
