Durian Cake and Matcha Green Tea Cupcakes

 Durian Cream Cake with creamy whipped icing.

Not being a fan of durian myself I would have never attempted this cake unless someone ordered it specifically. The fruit itself has a such a strong odor that every time I opened the refrigerator, I could smell the cake through its container. But it seems like those who love it, really love it, and don't mind subjecting their friends to its pungent smell.

However the cake did turn out stunningly tall and sturdy, and the cream went on smoothly. I even started thinking I wanted to try a slice.

Along with the cake was an order for half a dozen chocolate, green tea cupcakes. These turned out pretty tasty. I made my regular chocolate cupcake recipe and put in a tablespoon of matcha powder into the batter. Then made a matcha  butter cream, by heating up the milk, sugar and matcha powder and  letting cool, before stirring in the butter. ( And a little food dye because it was sort of, "off brown")

 

I love the look of this cake. I'll defiantly have to try it again with a flavour I'm fond of.

Cupcakes!

 Here are some cupcakes I've made in the past few months!

Chocolate Coffee Cupcakes

Entering week three of a Wilton Decorating course at Golda's Kitchen in Missisauga, ON!

So far it's been an amazingly fun experience, for more info please visit them online!

 This week we were asked to bring in six un-iced cupcakes to decorate in class.

I chose to make a rich chocolate coffee cake batter, with some cayenne pepper thrown in for a kick.

 

The decorating portion was done in the class.

We made the leaves and flowers from butter cream frosting. It was a lot of fun to do, and overall I think it was successful and I would definitely do this recipe again.
