Macaronssssssss

This morning mum decided to try and make macarons. Unfortunately I still had a bit of holiday homework to complete so I couldn't help out. By the time I had finished mum was about to pipe the shells so I helped her pipe them.

The mixture was grainy for some reason. And piping is very messy and it's tricky to keep them the same size which is important otherwise the macarons look funny when squished together.

After they came out of the oven. Looking half decent. Except didn't bake them for long enough.

Piped them with the left over durian curd from mum's birthday cake.

Chocolate macarons with durian filling.

Super super super sweet

Back to school tomorrow =(

Cooking: Durian Crepe Layer Cake

3 hours well spent. Enjoyed every moment of making this cake, including eating it =P
Yes I think durian smells delicious and tastes even better. So creamy and just yummmmmmyyyy.

Recipe is modified from Stephanie Alexander's Lemon Curd Cake (found on masterchef). Replaced the lemon with durian pulp. Totally forgot to add the butter so I just omitted it and it still tasted nice. Beyond nice.

12 layers. Layers filled with alternating layers of cream and durian curd. 

Pure delicioiusness
