Chocolate cake










This is the first chocolate cake that I've done the icing all by myself, it's not easy to get it nicely coated。Only Auntie Irene can do it in a breeze 她不用吹灰之力就可以很快的搞定它. 不好意思,我知道装饰得很丑no standard,不要骂我哦,下次我会做得更好的! I still need a lot of practices la... I'm quite pleased with the dark chocolate, it tastes very nice and yummy - i don't like it to be too creamy so have slightly reduced the fresh cream. Do u like to have a slice of cake to go with your cup of coffee or tea?

Hello Margaret,

Early bird catchs the worm. Can I have a piece? 真是名师出高徒。还说没standard, 根本就是有水准。Auntie Irene 看了肯定很开心有你这么一个徒儿。

Hi Margaret,

I oso want a pc, u know I choco cake lover hor.Your standard so much better then me.

So do u enjoy the NDP preview?

:-D

Margaret said...

Hi Mary & Oink Oink,

thank you for the compliments & encouragement, sure will let u have a piece. 你们太夸奖我了 this round i consider passable only, I know myself, I need a lot more practices, it's still a long way to Shifu's expectation, hahaha.

Yes, I do enjoyed the NDP preview albeit from afar - 51 storey of Swisstel The Stamford hotel. The view from there is magnificent & breathtaking. The only set back was yesterday the weather was quite hazy & cloudy. How about u? I believe u all should enjoy more intensely than us, being so close upfront, the atmosphere must be excellent. I will be posting some of the photos on the blog shortly. Stay tuned...hahaha

Cheers..

hi margaret,

nicole现在才来会不会太迟啊!呵呵~~~

可能你不知道吧!nicole是不在乎外表的,我比较注重内涵的!好吃就行啦!auntie irene 不会怪你的啦!熟能生巧嘛!练习多几次就可以啦!加油唷!^_^

我知道啦,严师出高徒嘛,有骂才会有进步的。只可惜好师傅有我这个苯笨的,鸡手鸭脚和不听话的学生,有时倒真的是伤脑筋呀!哈哈!

我也比较注重内涵过于外表的,可是有时有外表没内涵也不行的。那晚我在家里尝试做蒸杂果蛋糕,因为犯了几个错误,结果做到一榻糊涂,外表美美的,里面却半熟好难吃,名副其实的有外表没内涵,真是失败,呜呜..也让师傅失望了。。唉..

无论如何,我们是要对自己有所要求尽量做到色香美味俱全才算好,虽然很多时候是心有余而力不足。还是要继续学习和加油再加油!

对你来说可能要求太高才会觉得丑,但是,对我们这些门外汉来说,已经是好得不得了,有机会我不介意尝一块,哈哈!

Camille said...

这蛋糕看起来好好吃哟!不知道我什麽时候可以做到这样。哈哈哈。。。

Hi 子干大哥 & Camille

你们都过奖了,不过还是很感谢你们的鼓励和赏脸。我还要多看多做。
