Earl Grey and Hazelnut Chocolate




Earl grey mousse, hazelnut chocolate mousse, flourless chocolate cake, feuilletine base. This cake has been made before but I did some tweaking and made some improvements. I love this log mold and think I'll be putting it to good use from now on.

Bibimba



This was a packet of Bibimba mix that I bought from the Muji in Hong Kong. I love Bibimba! For those who don't know, it's a fried rice mixture, usually a little spicy, that they put into a very hot clay bowl so that the outsides sear making it crispy. I made this with some egg, shrimp, green onion, and shiitake mushrooms, added the packet into it, and then placed it in a frying pan to mimic the sear from the clay bowl. It didn't quite do the trick with the crispness but the flavor was very good.

For All the Twilight Fans


This is a recreation of the cover of the first "Twilight" book. I admit I struggled with the hands but they turned out pretty good! I wanted to make a stiff top so that they could just lift off the cover and cut into the cake so I decided to decorate the inside "front page" as well so it's not too plain when they cut it. Not having read any of the books myself, I had to look online to see when the 1st page looked like.
