Macaroons!

and so, we baked macaroons 

I didn't do that. I took that photo from google HAHAHAHA!
but I would really want to do colourful macaroons one day.
I like to see these colours so vibrant hehe! 

So arranged with my dear aunt who's interested in baking and she can bake really well!
She's always baking this and that, and it didn't seem too difficult for her.
Always baking things like Tiramisu, or what...Chiffon Cake. 
which I shall just name it the pandan cake. #cheapskate
HAHA!
But really need to thank her alot! If not I guess those who ate my macaroons today wouldn't survive either.
HAHAHA!

and after that of course I got my bff to come over
it's really amazing that my aunties and whoever whoever like knows her.
and they're like..
but this aunt of mine is special. She takes me and this Jiaen for lesbians.
OH well..
we're one big family! HAHAHA!

okay so she came over to my house on this rainy day.  

while I was attempting to do my IB tutorial which apparently... I failed.
pfffft.

then we walked over to my aunt's house! 
and she started playing with Kookie while I watch my tv. OOPS HAHAHA!

soon we started to bake!
Boiling the milk, adding orange flavour into the milk, then melting the chocolate in it! 
So that's why you'll taste Orange in it! Not sure if my friends tasted the orangey essence in it muahahah! 




and here comes the toughest part of the whole thing...well at least it was tough to me.
I'm someone with reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllyyyy little patience.
So we're supposed to sieve the icing sugar and almond powder mixture.
Even though the almond is already in the powder form, but it's not that...fine.
so we had to do some manual work... like grinding it on the thing.
it's mad tiring. Plus it was a BIG BOWL of it!!!!


and after we're done with whisking the egg white and addding sugar after it, we finally succeeded.
For the first trial I guess we mixed the sugar and egg white together first, then whisk it and it failed.
So smart aunt tried it another way as soon as we're done with almond thingy!
It's fascinating to see machine doing the work for us hehe~!

and tada~~~~ it became fluffy!! It loooooked so much like whipped cream but it's not.
It's like foam!

oh and meanwhile while we were doing our second try, we both were hungry.
But aunt said, "NO FOOD UNTIL WE SUCCEED." 
and guess what. I still had my senses, but Jiaen totally lost hers..

We were measuring the sugar, and suddenly this girl took a pinch of the sugar and ate it.
SHE'S TOO HUNGRY.
ahahahahah weirdo friend of mine -____- 

back to the baking, we added orange colouring to the....idk what's that called. 
 
 
and when everything is done, we're cool to squeeze it out for the very final step!
I see my emerging muscles ohgosh



they look funny ahahah like bao! 


and after baking the crust...? Should I call it the crust? IDK. SEE for yourself then! .
It's already freaking nice to eat this on its own without anything else.
allow me to explain for a bit!
It became this colour because initially, the orange colouring we added wasn't a lot!
that's why the colour was kinda light..
and this hungry boy! Forever giving the puppy eyes when it comes to food....

then after matching the biscuits up, we're left with the reallly final step!
which is to spread the choco that we've prepared earlier, and kiap it together!
AND WE ARE DONE! ~~~~ TADAAA!!!


the taste turned out to be very good!

Brought it to school for the clique to try, and they said it's nice. HEHEHEH!
Feel so happy, although I wasn't the one who really baked it! I did part of the job.
like washing the plates, wiping the tables etc. 

it was much more easier than I thought cause I expected it to be like what..
do this and that then this and that.
like a troublesome! 
But it turned out to be just okay~ could be done quite fast if we're much more experienced! 

And it was fun doing with the retarded bff. 
HAHAHAHAHA! 
like right after we broke one of the biscuit, we just couldn't help but just to eat it first!
So eager to try how it turned out to be. 

Shall attempt it next time when I have the feel :p
that's it! 

BYE for now ~~~~~~~~
