East Meets West: Tarte Bordaloue and Kaya Buns!







































It was one of those days really, where the baking craze kicked in and I really had to make everything and anything. Egged on by my schoolmate KP, the two of us decided to bake the Tarte Bordaloue that looked so yummy (but we couldn't make during practicals) and filled buns!

And since we will have to present a marzipan rose in a few weeks, the ever thoughtful KP bought marzipan so the two of us could practice. Voila! not bad for a first attempt, non? The tart came out perfect, so we were very pleased :)

On top of our diet-busting tart, we decided to put our new knowledge on bread to good use. So in came the bottle of Kaya and Sun dried tomatoes- the sweet and the savoury. I was being really annoying, insisting on making more Kaya buns but hey! its been a year since I had Kaya, so be nice :D Our creative shapes turned out.. strange, but the loaf ones came out nice and fluffy. Double Yay! Can't wait to go back and bake bread for gramps.
