Been making croissant on my own after taking croissant course. My goodness! It is sooooooo difficult to make out of course’s kitchen. Heat and patience are enemies to croissant succeed result. I think, I should be more patience so the result is getting better. Last time I made it, it …
Cake Decorating Course

Rigid Recipe of Chocolate Chiffon Roll Cake (part 1)
Two days ago, I baked a chocolate chiffon roll cake and failed. I baked without a good mood and ‘too’ confident, changing flour and not weight the eggs wouldn’t cause any failure. Then, I failed. I’m pretty shock because “I thought I have” follow my own recipe. These were what …
