Tadaa!!
Ok, so the "Weekend Bake-O-Rama" is complete and I almost didn't get pictures of all of what I baked up. They were going pretty fast (and I kind of forgot my camera...)! Well, thankfully, hyanan had her camera handy.
These are the シュークリーム and クリームパン (cream puffs and custard rolls). The puffs had regular custard and also a strawberry custard with a drizzle of strawberry sauce added on top. (thank you benschingel for the sauce)
This was an attempt at ベーコンエピ which is just soft roll dough with a slice of bacon baked inside. I think next time I'll add some cheese to it. It looked pretty plain but tasted pretty good. You can actually see one little bit left from the attacking hordes only moments before the rest was devoured! Sorry, I didn't present it all plated up but I figured, take the pic and get out of the way!!
The rest of the time was spent as usual. Watching movies, playing games, ordering Chinese and doing homework (blech!). hyanan, benschingel, nenaluna and Ben's brother Nick were over to indulge in the pastries and seemed to enjoy them (since none of the baked goods lasted more than a day), so I'll call this edition of "Bake-O-Rama" a resounding success.
On a side note, Ben and I have finished reading the newest and last(?) Harry Potter book and are now waiting for
hyanan to finish so we can talk about it without hiding from everybody, but for now, with the exception of only a couple of parts, two thumbs up!
