TWD: challenge

Yes! I made the deadline.
I've been totally swamped these days with final papers and just finals in general. I'm going to be at Duke for a business program for the next 3 weeks so i won't be able to post anything/bake anything. =(.
This recipe turned out quite well. The pastry was lovely, just like store bought cream puff pastry dough. The only problem I had was my failure to read. I went to the supermarket today to pick up a little container of heavy cream only to discover upon my return that I had picked up light cream instead. I wasn't willing to return to the supermarket so I just added 3 egg yolks to thicken it. It turned out pretty well. The flavor of the mint is charming. Strong, but charming. This was quite an easy recipe. Next time I'll do it properly.

I totally adore fruit tarts.
And recently, I've managed to make this absolutely delectable and irresistible flaky crust that has conspired to sabotage my diet. And after playing around with the cream for two weeks, I've managed to make a wonderful cream, nice and rich but tastefully so. I've also been obsessing over fruit tart designs. So here's my little tropical fruit tart. The two new chins that appeared magically the next morning were indication enough of its charm. <3

TWD , french brownies

Okay,
mm... I dunno. I think I did something wrong again. -_-.
Well, it turned out pretty well... just more cake-y. I probably measure the wrong amount of flour. I added in walnuts and put in 2 tablespoons of irish cream. It gave the brownies a nice touch. Well, I ldefinitely liked the taste, so the only thing I have to complain about is my lack of skill at measuring.
My camera wasn't cooperating with me either. Pardon the blurriness.
