Christmas creation 2010

Holiday time~ December is the busiest time of the year.  Busy baking, busy decorating, busy delivering goodies~~ full of happy stress and fully exercise my creative brain muscle.
十二月是全年最忙的一個月 ^^. 忙著焗蛋糕曲奇, 忙著裝飾家居插花, 忙著把快樂送到親戚好友家~  雖然是忙, 但是是快樂的壓力, 再忙一點也值得.  也因為要創作, 所以腦袋的"創作部"得以舒展筋骨.

Yule log for my co-worker.

Yule log (Buche de Noel) is a pastry from France to replace the real tree Yule-log.  Egg white and egg yolk are whisked seperately ~ and then combined & put into the oven quickly.  This is my first time to make/eat it~ actually it is very light~ as no oil are used. ^^

給同事們的樹木型的聖誕蛋糕

樹木型聖誕蛋糕是原自於法國, 以取代聖誕木來慶祝聖誕 . 先把蛋白及蛋黃分開打至企身,再在焗蛋糕前快速伴均勻. 第一次製作及品嚐這蛋糕~ 沒有油的蛋糕感覺清爽~效果不錯
