Happy New Year!!!
Monday, January 01, 2007
New Year'r eve was all about peace and solitude. I decided to stay home, really wasn't in the mood for crowded places and blasting music. I spent the last few minutes of 2006 in front of my TV, watching the Vivocity countdown while eating bread and butter. Haha.
Today was much better. I went out to shop at IMM and bought some ingredients for the cake that I was gonna bake - Chocolate Valentino. The name sounds pretty intimidating but surprisingly it's so simply. You only need baking chocolate, eggs and butter.
Airil came over to help. He's really skilled at egg beating. Anyway, the chocolate batter turned out fine but the cake sort of got burned in the oven cos the temperate was a too high and I used the wrong type of circular pan according to my mom. Who knew that baking pans could make such a difference. Lesson learned. I had to scrape off the top layer which was nearly totally black. Haha.
Overall, the cake turned out fine and it was pretty delicious especially when we added whipped cream to the topping. I guess I need more experience when it comes to baking cakes.
