Getting into day 5 I burst my bubble of confidence, today chiffon’s was not as good as I expected it to be. I over whipped my meringue and upon folding them into the yolks batter, it started to show every sign of “Oh No”, I kept losing air bubbles and mixtures quickly turn into liquid instead the usual foamy kind.
Based on what I learn at baking course and previous failed attempt I now I can still bake and get a good taste but the cake won’t turn as high as usual nor as fluffy or airy as usual.
Normally my cake will rise to the edge of the tin, today it only rise to the middle.
However they still taste good. Hopefully tomorrow Chiffon will be better.

I am not sure on how to grind a right sesame seed so I use this instant black sesame paste that I bought from Singapore.

Even though it did not go as planned, it still looks pretty good and tastes good!
Yeah, one good thing with chiffon, you can’t go wrong with the taste so despite lack of air, they are still edible and delicious. And as usual if I failed, I quickly eat and finish them all to get rid of the evidence 🙂
Rabbit, Have you ever been to Japan? In Japan you find all kinds of western sweets made with surprising common Japanese ingredients, such as this black sesame paste. 😛
Hi Fae, yes I’ve been to Japan 3 years ago however during the short 2 weeks trip I did not have enough time to explore everything. Come to think of it, it must be wonderful for you to spend childhood times in such fascinating country. I felt like I am a kid again when I spotted those cute unique things you can only find in Japan.
That is right! You had mentioned it before! So, we both love Japan and its cute things. 😀
Yup… probably should set a get together or fellow blogger friend meeting in Japan 😀
I will definitely shop like crazy there 🙂
