On other news, Miss Iv chose a Gateau St Honore for her birthday cake. She rejected my pretty rainbow cake, since she described it as a wedding cake for a gay couple.
So.. after a burnt finger, here are the results.
I managed to take some photos of my work in progress. Except, it just means that my phone gets sticky from my dirty hands.
1. Choux pastry getting piped on my (flat) puff pastry circle. I think I won't spike it with so many fork holes as much, so that it was rise like a normal puff pastry.
2. Profiteroles getting piped
Final results.. the photos can't show the toffee plaque well. But did taste good!
Forgot to mention, I used the Creme Diplomat, which uses chantilly cream in it. But, since I left it to the last minute, and needed to get Mr A to do a quick pit stop to the supermarket since I ran out of cream. The creams didn't set as well as I had hoped.
And to make it a signature Gateau St Honore, it requires the cream to be piped using a St Honore nozzle. I couldn't find it in any kitchen shops, so hence, its just flat and boring looking.
At least its tasted good right.. hahah.. I tried! =)
