Steamed Durian Cake

I have made it finally!

Survived!

I present to you, Steamed Durian Cake!

Hand Crafted Sugar Roses

Requires early preparation to allow petals to dry.

Once these are dried, calyx (or rather, sugar calyx) were incorporated to complete the look.

Later, it will be positioned on fondant covered cake.

Steamed Moist & Rich Chocolate Cake with Silicone Mold

People generally sceptical about silicone products. Due to its texture and flexibility, the people that i come in contact with, thought that it was made of rubber, but in fact its made of processed sand. Therefore it will NOT melt.

I have always loved it, because of its versatility & convenience. It allows freezing, chilling, baking & steaming. It can withstand temperature changes such as going from freezer directly to oven, and can be used as a mold for things such as gelatin, ice cream, ice, dips, etc. I might add on more to my kitchen collection.

Today i did 2 batches of Steamed Moist & Rich Chocolate Cake using silicone molds. The finished product was excellent.

Feeling all lovey-dovey for the incoming St. Valentine's Day, i used love-shaped silicone molds to hold the shapes.

The recipe weren't bad either. I steamed the cakes till the gas ran out. The cakes were tender, moist and all chocolatey.

The results were "match-made-in-heaven".

Rich Moist Chocolate Cupcake with delicate Daisy Flower

Daisy Flower on Moist Chocolate Cupcakes.

I am beginning to appreciate the small "flowers" in life. I am beginning to pay special attention to it, especially the wild flowers at my back garden, often un-noticeable.

Until the bright yellow petals caught my attention. There were whole lot of them! Which inspired me to try my hands on Daisy Flower decoration on my cupcakes. I love the color co-ordination of white, gold dragees and chocolate. They complement each other really well...
