I could finally bake!! And i'm so happy. Hubby ordered a mixer for me online when i was sick, his reason was to cheer me up but somehow, things don't come 'free'. Hehe, his hidden motive: he wanted me to bake some cakes as gifts for some VIPs. So here's the first one i did today, which we will deliver later in the evening along with a box of Ferrero Rochers.
Due to the limited resources/materials we could find here, i decided to bake this blueberry swirl cheesecake. 8" in size, this weighs about more than a 1kg. One word to describe it: RICH. One cake which i don't personally fancy coz it's simply too rich which makes me feel like 'puking' whenever i had just a few spoons of it. Nevertheless, Hubby wants something 'posh' so we both agreed this is the best, besides Tiramisu which is more on the selective side considering some people are not coffee drinkers/fans (just like mom).
The cake is basically just cheese...with blueberry preserves on top, and chocolate wafers as the base. Took nearly two hours to bake inside the oven.
As usual, i'm always bad in decorations. So typical 'non artistic geek increative' me always think of fruits when comes to decorating a cheesecake. Too bad strawberries are too expensive nowadays since they are not in season, otherwise they'll make good and colourful combinations with these kiwis, hami melons and grapes.
One thing good about here although baking ingredients are not easily accessible is the beautiful boxes they sell to house cakes. Here is the one we chose to fit the 8" cheesecake. We are ready to deliver the cake now!
