help mga sis! saan pa ba ko makakabili ng valrhona cocoa powder? phased out na daw sa sweetcraft pati sa cook's exchange huhu... i'm selling chocolate cupcakes and yun ang brand na gamit ko... ayoko kc maiba yung quality

[kookie420]

j27 hehe baka sa probinsya lang namin madaming users ang peotraco at ricoa 

nigella, sorry no idea as I'm not based in Manila. baka yung ibang girls dito may alam.

andee how?, di ko alam Puratos. kung ok naman fat content ng cocoa why not give it a try? 

[j27]

^kookie420,
hehe. or pwede rin baka hindi ko lang napapansin sa grocery/baking supplies?? ako kasi pag may nagustuhan na akong product, diretso na mata ko dun, wala ng lingon lingon.

j27 baliktad tayo, ako naman mahilig mag experiment kaya madaming boplaks na na be-bake

ms15, congrats on your first fondant. did you enroll or was it self taught? 

[ms15]

@ sis kookie420 , thank you! self taught lang sis. fan ako ng cake boss and fabulous cakes. panay basa ng tutorials sa web and nood naman sa youtube.

ako naman takot mag experiment, kasi nga baka sumablay. sayang ingredients. hehe 

[j27]

ms15,
congrats! 

kookie420,
nag e experiment din ako minsan, pero pag naka bingo na ako, okay na yun. hindi na ako nagtatry ng iba. 
minsan naman pag nadisappoint ako sa experiment ko, tinatamad na ako umulit at magtry ng iba. 

sa tinagal kong nagbebake. itong princess themed cupcake palang ang pinaka maarte ko ng ginawa (maarte na yan kasi napaka simple ko lang gumawa ng cupcake hehe), next dun sa birthday cakes at cupcakes na ginawa ko para sa daughters ko nung feb.

malapit na ako mag next level, fondant designs naman ang itatry ko para mas maarte. hehe.

[andee how?]

Ako rin mahilig mag-experiment 
Kagabi yung first time ko ginawang donuts, in my effort to make it kinda healthier, nilagyan ko ng whole wheat flour.  Ayan tuloy hindi sya kasing light and fluffy ng kk or jco man lang. Hehehhe.

sis were this fried or baked?

[andee how?]

Fried sila. Nasobran nga e, hindi na golden grown. Maliliit lang kasi kaya mabilis nag-brown. Hindi masyadong mag-2nd rise (kahit ilang oras sya naka-latag) because nga inexperiment ko lagyan ng whole wheat flour. Hehe.

@ sis j27 , thank you!

Tried to bake cookies today for the first time.

Fail. Mukhang browniesand sticked to the pyrex pa.  Funny talaga. 

Sayang, masarap pa naman.

[kookie420]

sis funky f! classmates tayo sa fondant class nung  march13 dun ako nakaupo sa dulo 

[happy_pomelo]

Tried baking cupcakes last weekend using Panlasang Pinoy's cupcake recipe (used mocha frosting instead - just added coffee dissolved in hot water).  Nasarapan si hubby and my daughter (who helped me mix the batter and the frosting) but I noticed hindi sya ganun ka-fluffy, it's parang compact inside.  What could be wrong?  The ingredients kaya or the technique?  Alternate din pag lagay ko ng dry and wet ingredients ng batter.  Hmmm...

Forgot na lagyan. Hahaha

My first time to bake cookies.

Been a fan of crumb boss in youtube for quite sometime. But iba na ang name ngayon. It's now woodland bakery. The pastry chef is from CIA so ang daming free tips! I've tried her red velvet cake and cakepops already and it was a success. Planning to buy kitchenaid mixer na. Sana soon. Konting lambing pa kay hubby. Gustong gusto ko kasing gumawa ng icing. Hand mixer lang kasi gamit ko. Pag nag stiff peaks na kasi yung icing, parang hirap na hirap yung mixer ko. Baka bumigay, sayang naman.

Baka na-over beat or hindi naisalang kaagad sa oven kaya hindi nag-rise masyado or too much flour (how do you measure your flour?).
