The Baking Queen in the house aka Drama Queen aka Sherilyn has embarked on some baking projects to kill time during the school holidays. This is the best activity for her to distract her from all the electronic gadgets in the house.
Here’s what she baked over the past 2 weeks:
Homemade pizza with the dough that she made from scratch:
Pizza toppings ~ mashed avocado, cherry tomatoes, overnight sauteed broccoli with fresh mushrooms, overnight ‘unwanted’ chicken breast from dinner and mozarella cheese. She ‘recycled’ leftover dinner into a yummo pizza!
Pancake using the Japanese pancake mix that her doting koo ma from Hong Kong gave. Sherilyn mixed the pancake mix with dried blue pea flowers tea from her granny’s garden. She was so delighted to have finally made a blue colored pancake using natural blue coloring 💙
Organic sweet corn fritters with kafir lime leaves (everyone’s favorite!):
A loaf of banana bread with pecans. I love this. This has a tad room for improvement though in that more bananas should be added and lesser flour used. She made this with only 2 leftover bananas in the kitchen and whipped it up in under an hour. But it tastes like an expensive banana bread sold at some fancy cafes. This is off-the-charts delicious when it’s lightly toasted in the oven the next day. You’ll get crispy exterior and spongy interior. Stays good in the fridge for over a week.
Nope, these are not coconut candies, though they smell like it. These are a work-in-progress project. They are bath bombs made using baking soda, extra virgin coconut oil, lemon juice and essential oils. Sherilyn’s still experimenting these and they are not saleable / usable just yet.
Lemon meringue tarts, which is another item that you’ll find in a fancy cafe costing over RM15 each.
The other day we were at Antipodean for breakfast after Cass’ appointment at the hospital. The hubs asked if I’d like to takeaway any of the cakes and tarts at the cafe and I told him that his Baking Queen could bake all those items ranging from chocolate brownie to oversized chocolate chip cookies, lemon tarts, banana bread and carrot cake. So thanks and no thanks. Our Baking Queen bakes the best cakes, tarts and cookies 😁
Evading the paparazzi again 🙄
The lemon meringue tarts are such a hassle to make. There’re 101 steps and our baking queen spent the entire afternoon in the kitchen to whip them up.
She baked a large round tart and several smaller ones to give away to her dance teacher and to her beloved kakak Maria.
Chocolate molten cake baked in the microwave oven for Alycia’s 15th birthday on 5 December 2018.
And these cookies were baked yesterday. A batch of butter peppermint cookies…
… and a batch of chocolate (using organic cocoa powder) peppermint cookies. She used my Peppermint Essential Oil from Young Living. She used 4-5 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil for each batch of cookies.
Sherilyn’s next project will most likely be gingerbread cookies for Christmas! And probably another meat pie which everyone loves.
