It's Amelia's Birthday!!

Yesterday was our beloved Amelia's big day. We celebrated her birthday at The Gardens. Almost half of class attended her birthday celebration including one of her close friend.

One day before her birthday, Joyce, Xin Jie and I bake a cake for her. It's a green tea tiramisu. Many incidents happened during the baking process. First, we forgot about the cream of tartar. The function of tartar cream is to raise the cake to make it more fluffy. We skipped that ingredient since it only required in small amount. Till the cake was nearly finish baked, it looks pretty good. It expanded to a size we wanted. We were happy with it because we don't know what the cake will look like since we are out of one of the ingredients. After we took it out from the oven, it shrank within minutes and turned out to a funny looking cake. Next, the cheese filling flowed out of the mould and nearly cause a flood in the freezer. Hence, we took the whole cake out and line the mould with two layers of baking paper and doing it all over again. Yes, it's TWO layers. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure so doing it in a safe way is better than doing it over and over again without succeed. Haha but fortunately we managed to get a round cake at the end. Finally, we decided to use red beans for the wordings instead of chocolate. Own that the size of red bean is too big for such a small cake, it turned out to be very messy. 

This is how the cake looks like. In case you don't know what were we trying to say, it is 'happy birthday Amelia' and the last line is a secret code which I don't know what is it. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of how the inside of the cake looks like because we were happily eating the cake but it looks pretty nice which is out of my expectation. The layers are quite obvious and even.

Finally the cheese wasn't flowing out and stayed in a round shape! Xin Jie was flattening the cheese to make it looks nicely.


Yeah, this is our pretty Amelia in dress!!

Loves, 
See Qing.
