Traditional Cakes

Or thats how I called it. and maybe because it’s traditional, I don’t really fancy them :P

I made a Gateau Marbre (Marble Cake) in a Gugelhopf tin and a Light Fruit cake with a streusel (crumble) topping

The christmas-y cake decorated with icing sugar, cherries, angelica (the green stuffs)

Fruit cakes contains about 35-50% of their batter weight in fruits, like orange peel, cherries, sultanas, currants, nuts..etc. *tip* Just makes sure that before u add them into the batter (which is added last) lightly coat them with a layer of flour so that the fruits does not sink to the bottom.

*need to go to the loo, will be back later with more stuffs from LCB… like …. COOKIESSSS !!!!!!*

wahhh how did u get the ganache over so smoothly??

babe : i boiled equal amount of cream, then stir into a bowl of equal amount of dark chocolate.. stir till it’s thick n the colour’s darker, then just pour if over the cake, and let it chill in the fridge. No spatula needed, oh, just to scoop out the ganache ?
