Baked: Blueberry Scones!

Blueberry Scones (Makes 6 - 8 pieces)

- 2 1/3 cup sifted flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 egg whites
- 1/3 cup full cream milk
- 1/3 cup chilled butter
- 3/4 cup caster sugar (or 1/2 cup white and 1/4 cup brown sugar)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C
2. Cut butter into small squares. Whisk eggs. Add the eggs and vanilla essence into the butter.
3. Combine all dry ingredients together (flour, salt, baking powder)
4. Pour in dry ingredients, gently mix and alternate with the milk and mix again.
5. Texture should be pretty thick and tough. Add in blueberries and mix, do not overhandle.
6. Optional: Divide dough into 6 - 8 pieces into slightly floured board to mould into balls.
7. Bake on baking sheets for 20 - 22 minutes until golden brown edges form.

Enjoy these scones WARM ! They were super delish. If they are no longer warm, just toss it into the microwave for 45 seconds to do the trick.

Tip: Make sure the blueberries do not come out of the scones when you scoop them out and make them into moulds or else you will have blueberries lava just like the pic above hehe. xx

Baked: Cupcakes with Fondant Toppers

The production house, literally!

The project was for a girl's first birthday, so it I thought it would be cute to have a safety pin in one of the fondant decorations.

 To this date, my strength is still in butter icing. The person who ordered wanted the pink carnation design in the end -- phew! less fondant, more yummy butter cream :).

The end result was actually a dessert table. Unfortunately, I could not attend the event because I died from exhaustion lol. I just started to make dessert tables, so if you want to order, please do so 2 - 3 months in advance so I can customize each and every element for you! (: 

Baked: Lemon Cupcakes with Christmas Fondant Toppers

These lemon cupcakes turned out super fluffy and light. It's not the norm, but it was getting close to a light cheese cake texture. The trick is to add one more egg, slightly more butter, slightly less flour and also bake it at lower temperature but longer time... Yup!

 I made these Christmas fondant toppers for an order this week!
December = Time of Christmas Orders = Fondant fondant fondant
