Fresh strawberries and cream macarons recipe!

For my first practical in my tech lesson, I have decided to make fresh strawberries and cream macarons!
I am not a big fan of macarons, as I always think that they are too sweet due to the buttercream fillings. So I have decided to try something different and found this recipe, using fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream as the filling instead! It is also less fat and calories :D!

Baked Alaska

It was a really crap day...
So I thought I will cheer myself up with some sweets..
Baked alaska.
 
This is basically a dessert of layering up sponge cakes and ice cream and then cover it with meringue followed by blow torching the meringue to give it a burnt look.
Fast, easy and nom!
:)
 
I have chosen to use chocolate sponge and oreo ice cream this time!
I have also added some brandy into the meringue to get myself drunk!
jokes haha! just to add some flavouring :P

Tofu + Greentea Cheesecake

I have been testing out new combination of unusual cakes today.
I have try to make Tofu and Greentea cheesecake together in 2 layers on top of each other with a layer of greentea jelly glazing.
But the greentea jelly powder I used didnt really gave me looking I wanted it to be.
I expected it to be clear and quite see through, but it turned out to be kinda too dark?
Surprisingly, this combination actually quite suit each other? Especially for tofu and greentea lovers!
