One of our young baking enthusiasts, Aditi, baked us some Brownie Biscuits. They were crisp on the outside, yet had a brownie cake texture on the inside.
Saniya’s Chocolate Cupcakes were very professional. The look, the texture and the taste, could rival most bakery made cupcakes.
Madhumita made a real effort with her Chocolate Orange Cheese Custard in Orange Cups. She made cups out of the oranges she used for the recipe and filled them with the custard. I’m sure it was hard work but much appreciated by all. They looked very pretty and colourful and begged to be eaten.
Orange Cups :
Cut the Oranges horizontally. Take out the orange segments from the half cut oranges. Use the Orange Shells as cups to set your custard/mousse.
Manonita was full of energy and passionate about her baking. These skills took her through three rounds of Masterchef India. She shared her recipes for Pinwheel Cookies and Chocolate Date cake with us. The cookies were buttery and absolutely delicious. The date cake was made in the microwave in 6 minutes.
Vandana made us Chocolate Milk Shakes, a change from all the chocolate goodies we sampled.
