"Hi my name is Far and I'm a bakeaholic."
I can't believe this. I'm having withdrawal symptoms from baking. I haven't baked in about two weeks now and I am itching to bake. I have been trawling food (particularly dessert) blogs, always looking for recipes, looking at lipsmacking cakes that just screams out EAT ME.
It doesn't help that I have a new stand mixer that I have yet to try, and ingredients on standby: loads of unused Hershey's chocolates waiting to be chopped/melted, a whole pack of Optima flour in addition to other opened packs of flour, 12 eggs waiting to be cracked and whisked, two little cartons of heavy cream, two (or was it three?) packs of cream cheese, and three packs of butter! Gasp. I do have lots of ingredients hahaha. Oh and I have a box of instant brownie mix too.
So to tame - yes, tame, not satisfy - my baking addiction, I decided to make sago gula melaka last Saturday night. That too, after a looonnng ponder of whether I should bake, do a simple dessert, or just stay out of the kitchen!
I succumbed, especially cos Husband wasn't around to ban me from baking (hurhurhur), it was just me and Junior. Sago gula melaka wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but I think next time round I shall add less water to the gula melaka. What I made was kinda a healthy version haha! Oh! And I wanna get nice moulds too! I resorted to using my muffin pan to mould the sago huhu.
So. With all that much ingredients, I think I should bake a cheesecake, no? Before the cream cheese and the heavy cream go bad. Teeheehee. Alright! Time to look for a cheesecake recipe!
