HAPPY EASTER & LATELY . . .

happy easter, and some photographs of my latest creations . . . *

1. ombre berry bavarois
A three-tiered mousse dessert which is a favorite, mostly due to the fact it brings back childhood memories of making it with my grandmother. Flavors are vanilla, strawberry, and raspberry, and while the strawberry is quite good (if I do say so myself), the raspberry and vanilla need tweaking. Hopefully, will be able to post the recipe soon.

2. chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream
These cupcakes were a special project for a very good friend of mine. I started with a completely different idea in mind, but this was how it turned out in the end. Will post the chocolate cupcakes recipe soon, and the raspberry buttercream recipe is from the lovely Linda Lomelino.

From a while ago; leftover pâte feuilletée rapide and leftover crème pâtissière turned into a spring dessert. Please excuse all the crumbly messiness . . . *

. . . after three catastrophic attempts in a row (can never seem to get the oven time right), the fourth try came out close to perfect — and could not help celebrating with a dusting of confectioner's sugar turned into a shape of a pretty unicorn *

朝に強いほうだと思う。
用事がない日に率先して自ら早起きするタイプではないけれど、昔から寝起きはかなりいい。
ただ、この "用事があるかないか" というのがポイントで、必要がなければ (早起きの)、いつまでも寝ている怠け者であるのも事実だ。

珍しく、用事もなく早起きして写真を撮りに繰り出した去年の夏。
誰もいない街は新鮮で、ちょっと知らない場所に感じられた。
