Chocolate Strawberry Mango Roll

After a long waiting, finally my new maid arrived. A happy day for baking again :) Actually I have a bit of headache trying to make her understand my Malay, she never leave her country before and she can pass the entry English test with only one try, I think she is clever! 

Today I baked a letter "e" roll with strawberry in the filling and mango juice added to the whipping cream, I love the taste!! The whipping cream is a bit runny, could it be because the mango juice added? I whipped it to peak foamy but the cream still feel a bit runny when I applied it on the roll. Anyway, the soft chocolate sponge taste is...wonderful! Another sinful baked...according to WT ^_^ (He said the whipping cream is full of... fat!)

Strawberry and Mango Tea Cake Rolls

This roll is using Angie's Recipe "Blueberry Tea Cake Rolls" recipe with minor modification, fall in love at the first sight when I saw Angie's roll somtime in March. Has been trying many times, this is my 4th attempt, unfortunately I still can't get the brown skin for a soft roll, whenever the skin roll is brown, the roll would break half way when I did the roll-up :( I'm using Twinings brand "Strawberry and Mango" tea bags, love the taste of strawberry and mango bits.

Flossy Buns: Revisit (Gelatinized Dough Method)

 My first flossy bun was on 15th Jan 2011, when I looked back at my previous baking, I always laugh at myself :) One thing never change is ...at this point of time I still think that I've improved in shaping and glazing my bread ^_^

This round I used the top layer of the oven, with 180C for 18 mins.
