Yesterday, i baked opera cake, recipe from this awesome blog. The result was not that bad, but for the assembling and the ganache part, i created it using my personal touch (that's why it looked messy, and lol ...failed). It was my first time making opera cake, and i am loving it. I served the cake as the dessert for my friend Shello who went to my house for lunch, and as a consolation for being alone: Gorilla is away for a business trip to Israel. How sad being in the small apt. alone (euh if it was bigger, i would be sadder?) Luckily there is our daughter Tiarra who keeps me busy and entertained (yeah gorrila's presence was just like a circus too.. so entertaining!).
By the way, maybe in the future i would try this recipe.. sounds easier and more affordable...
And i also trie to make Bagelen...my fav. "cookies" when i was a kid. It involves a childhood memory with my grandma who lived in Kebayoran area in Jakarta. I remember her house there, i also remember that she used to have bagelen in her cupboard very very often... Suddenly i miss her but we were never close. She had many grandchildren from her 6 sons, and i am one of the youngests among the grandchildren, so she was already old when i was around. Recipe from the same site. I used several pain de mie (which is the same as Indonesian roti tawar) to make them.

Last week, i made the same opera recipe. This is the result..well..better i guess, because i finally succeed making the buttercream...

Opera cake sound interesting, i´ve never tryed before or even never heared before!!! I´m curious now! But now that you said all this i´m also curious to know if you have already baked an austrian dessert, the austrian cousisine is excellent in sweets and cakes, hahaha i can not say the same about the mexican hahaha!!
Greetings from viena, i´m looking forward for the next recipie!
Deetha, baik baik...masih suka coba2 resep walau intensitasnya berkurang banget. Kamu gimana? Sibuk sama kerja ya?
Ana, yeah i have been to Vienna (2x) and their desserts are very very nice. I did not know about opera either, and i came to understand from the indonesian site that i linked, while it actually has french's twist. Well, i will try to make one again in the near future...
How's your daughter doing?
