. The Tasting Palette .

My messy island table- with my recipes and cooking accessories

It gets better with practice. That's what everyone attest to; that's what I believe in. J and I spent Sunday evening baking to preempt our Monday blues. Firstly, baking cheers us up. Secondly, we will be cheered up by little sweet treats for the next day.

J: hard at work
Whisking the lime mascarpone mixture

It's my second weekend baking the Lime Mascarpone tart. It's just a practical decision because I still had unfinished Mascarpone cheese and I didn't want to let it go to waste. It also turned out better this time. Firmer texture and less sourness (adjusted based on feedback though I really like sour stuff). Just think that the quantity of the recipe needs serious tweeking because for some reason or another, I don't have enough filling to go around making the ratio to tart unbalanced.

Peeking out abashedly

Also, baked the well-received burnt butter cupcakes. I love this cupcake tremendously. The texture is perfect. The taste is wonderful- nothing can beat the taste of burnt butter: so fragrant, so sinful. This cupcake is really one hell of a recipe because it's really tedious and I only made a dozen of them so I felt a little sad. My parents still think that the icing is too sweet. That I agree- I need to find a way to make the icing gel nicely without adding too much icing sugar. I'll leave that for another time.

Little treats to chase away the Monday blues

My next item of fancy: Langue De Chat in matcha flavour. I can't wait to try that out.
