Baking Thread 4

[sarsingkit]

^When I started baking, I only have measuring cups, measuring spoons, hand whisk, spatula and baking pans. Sa baking pans, I have yung pang bread, for cupcakes, baking sheet and a 13 x 9. Eventually, I progress into buying more equipment much to my husband's dismay. Hehe.

Another blog that I stumbled upon is pinoyinoz.blogspot.com. This is my go to for Filipino baking recipes. Her ube macapuno cake is perfect. Perfect talaga everytime I make it. Most of our visitors are asking me for orders. Hehe. But I don't do that so I just promise to make it every time may celebration.

^ I agree sis with pinoyinoz, I tried her fluffy mamon recipe and it's delicious. Very detailed steps and may explanation pa kasama. Very helpful lalo na sa beginners like me. Her mamon recipe did not sink much unlike the mamon recipe from other bloggers. 

sis xsugar, I started with cheap measuring cups and spoons spatula, whisk, muffin pan and cheap cookie sheet yung mga aluminum muna. Lahat mumurahin muna yung una ko binili. Important talaga din oven thermometer, lalo na kung yung oven analog ang temp setting. Start muna sa mga cheap tools, pag nagustuhan mo talaga baking, then you can start investing sa mga good quality tools.

I learned the basics kay youtube, and mga articles sa internet. It helps habang wala pa ako budget mag-enroll sa mga baking class I'm lucky that my sister is a professional baker so kapag may palpak ako I consult her what went wrong. Yung mga comments sa mga recipe binabasa ko talaga lahat, useful sya sakin para maiwasan yung same mistakes sa mga nag-try ng recipe nila

thanks sis sarsingkit and sis momoiro07, i wrote down those things i must buy so i can finally try baking na.

Those easy to do recipes ba, yung less ingridients parang ganun pwede kaya sa microwave oven? Parang gusto kong mag simula dun muna.

I bookmarked the site too, thanks sa suggestions!!

I can imagine the dismay of my husband too pag nalaman nya to:)hahahah!

^ Nung wala pa ako convection oven, microwave ang gamit ko. Very first ko is banana cake and sa microwave oven gamit ko, bumili lang muna ako ng ready mix, Maya Celebrations by Sharon Banana Cake Mix ang binili ko. Mura lang sya less than 50 pesos ata

Pag microwave, you cannot use aluminum. And pwede lang porcelain/glass baking dish, coffee mug and silicone. I tried several recipes tapos sa microwave ko ni-bake, may mga time na overbake kasi walang temp control sa microwave, then trial and error sa baking time. Ang ginagawa ko nun naghahanap ako ng recipe na for microwave oven talaga, mostly ng microwave oven recipe sa coffee mug lang nilalagay.

thanks sis momoiro07, i will try the Maya banana cake this week.

will search and collect recipes na din na pwede sa microwave oven. after reading some baking details, i think i need to be familiar din pala with ingredients. Baking 101 ata talaga need ko

I think i'll be very busy this weekend and i'm excited

[sarsingkit]

Same with sis momoiro07. if you want to use microwave, better to find recipes na pang microwave talaga. Microwave and a normal oven has different ways of heating up food so baka maiba ang end result mo if you substitute one for the other.

Napakadaming elements ng baking so I would say, just practice and matututo ka din. Masaya magbake lalo na ngayon magpapasko na. Brainstorming na kami ni hubby ng pang handa.

^^thanks sis, i will.

will be going to Divisoria this weekend to check on some baking supplies / tools na binigay nyo

[xsugar]

just an update: nakabili na ako ng basic for beginners ng ilang tools for baking! na curious ako kasi ng sobra:) spatula, round and square pans, measuring spoons and cups, molders, cupcake pan, whisk, bread pan too.

And i'm planning to buy more like yung thermometer, cupcakes lining, paper sheets and bahala na anong makita kong dapat bilhin. Nakapag save na din ako ng mga easy to bake recipes sa you tube. ganito ako ma-addict pag may nagustuhan akong hobby. good luck sa bulsa ko

Any suggestions san mura mamili ng baking items? I'll be in QC this weekend.

^try all about baking sa congressional extension, and meron di isa pa ko nakita sa west ave malapit sa mr. kebab di ko pa lang napuntahan.

[sleepy_grfld]

Hi sis sarsingkit. yung ube macapuno recipe ba ni pinoyinoz, same temp lang pag sa convection oven?thank you.

[sarsingkit]

^I use conventional oven so hindi ko sure. I suggest follow the same temperature but check after the 1st 30 minutes. Use oven thermometer para accurate.

yun mga gamit kong pang-bake sa Japan 88 ko lang binili. Ang cute ng mga gamit dun. 

Electric oven lang ang gamit ko. Wala akong idea sa baking nun una, sa youtube at foodie group lang sa Facebook ako nagaaral ng recipe. ilang beses ako nag-fail sa pag bake, hanggang sa natutunan ko ang importance ng preheat.

Hi. Anong brand ng cream cheese ginagamit niyo for cheesecake? Yung available dito sa Pilipinas. Sinubukan ko kasi dati mag-bake ng cheesecake pero naging super maalat. Wala akong asin na nilagay, unsalted din yung butter na ginamit ko. So iniisip ko baka yung cream cheese ko ang may problema. Nabasa ko kasi somewhere na depende yata sa bansa, iba-iba din timpla ng cream cheese. Salamat!

Saan ba mga sis nakakabili ng rolled parchment paper? Yung nabili ko lang kasi is yung sa National Bookstore na parang bond paper lang lol. Pero nagamit ko naman. Yun lang kasi mas maganda yung buo na, sakto sa cookie sheet.

Also, about sa cupcake liners naman. I'm looking for cupcake liners na ideal for brazo de mercedes. May nakita ako sa lazada kaso from abroad pa pala manggagaling. I was just wondering kung saan meron dito sa Pinas, either online shop or physical store? Meron kaya nun sa Landmark Makati?

I'm referring to this kind of cupcake liners - http://www.lazada.com.ph/50pcs-paper-cake-cup-cupcake-cases-liners-muffin-dessert-bakingpink-owl-3833812.html

TIA!

May nabili akong paper sa trade fair last year ang ganda. Pede siyang ilagay sa ibabaw ng kawali tapos dun ka magluto ng adobo di nasisira yung paper. Pede pang poach at pede ding liner I just forgot name ng store. Dapat tinandaan ko.

Hello! lately lang ako nahilig sa baking. may question ako, hope you can answer. i made vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting yesterday. success yung cupcake ko, pero sablay [textspeak!] frosting. softened naman yung butter na ginamit ko. beat it for 5mins or more pero hindi siya naging light and fluffy. hindi ko alam kung dahil mainit lang kahapon. pero lahat kasi ng napanood ko youtube nagiging fluffy naman. help naman po :-(

[choco_monster]

I usually see recommendations on what are the basic tools etc. how about, oven?  I cant decide which one na good for cooking and baking as well between La Germania and Elba. Ang daming options.  For baking, what features should I look ba?
