Seriously thinking about making "Delectable" macarons.

There has been more than a handful of people requesting for us to have macarons up on shelf at the Delectable stores.
I've been using them in our Delectable events; catered parties, even cascading over wedding cakes!
From the beginning of the year up till about just recently; I've felt the macaron craze from different parts of the world. It didn't take Malaysia long to jump onto the bandwagon.
I've been seriously thinking about making a mini macaron bar at our stores. Have been working on the idea the past couple of days.
Let me know what you think. Are you into macarons? If yes; what flavours.. if not; Why?

Delectable Cookie tins and Pretty aprons!?


Yellow (Chocolate chip cookie + walnuts) RM78
Green (Double chocolate chip cookie + pecans) RM68
Pink (Butter cookie) RM58
Blue (Oatmeal raisin cookie) RM38

In terms of designer cakes I've been making during the weekends; I thought i'd share a couple interesting projects I had done recently.

It's always a challenge to make cakes that don't LOOK like cakes; but there's nothing more exciting than a challenge like that!

Trip to Cocoaland; Jengka, Pahang

Mmm.. looks like a soursop huh?
Didn't ever imagine it would be purple inside when they're freshly picked.

He's ready to split em pods! and leave them to ferment. Fermentation creates the flavour we all recognize and love.


TADAH! dried cocoa beans! They finally now taste and smell like the end product.
