Xiphias

I finally did my caramel flan and presented my chocolate ice cream!!! Oh yay! What a triumph indeed. Well, as promised, here are the pictures. I used the theme of Dia De Los Muertos aagain and I splurged a bit with flowers. Yes, I admit, I may have reused the same flowers...

First up, my caramel flan. I wish the caramel could have been just a bit darker but goodness me, it tasted awesome.


Next up, my coffin shaped chocolate ice cream. This was a pain, cause I had to literally put it in the fridge for about 5 minutes every 2 minutes it was out, since it melted so easily. I tried my best to keep it's shape, and I'm quite content with my concluding result.


What sucked was that on a white plate, it is extremely hard to wipe away chocolate without
1) Smudging it
and
2) Melting it
So yeah, you can see bits of choc melting away a bit.

Yes, I know I know. I got a bit excited with my sprinkles. They were so fun to play with:P
And there you have it. I now have the sugar skulls and the sugar bread left. Sugar sugar sugar.. let's hope I don't end up with a cavity :S

Until next time.

  1. Ohhh! Coffin! Even better idea. They both look awesome, well done. But, once again, you torture me truly ... I wonder if there is anywhere that sells chocolate ice cream this time of night?

  2. It is SO lucky that I just read your comment after I had showered and was in bed, otherwise I would have FLOWN out like the possessed and hunted the streets for a store that was open! You wonderful lady, always delighting but at the same time tantalising with your foodie descriptions. Damn you some times but praise you more often :D
