I missed you guys, those days when I would bake and just bake for blogspot. Excuse me for finding no time to post even just a photo but I promise to post as much as I can. This is a shoot from my recent baking session with mom. Coconut Caramel Bun, mom's childhood memory of that she calls "Everlasting bread" in her highschool days. She said that the vendor would sing a song entitled "Everlasting" while selling this bread. I wanted to make my version along with mom while we debate on what would go best with the product .The bread is simply filled with shaved young coconut, cooked in a heavy Pandan (asisn herb for desserts and savory) syrup. The dough used here is an enriched type f dough with eggs, milk and butter. Yum! I have a collection of espresso cups and I think it matches the bread with flowers. Ofcourse the bread is finished off with deep caramel frosting a garnished with shaved coconut as well. Missed you all and I am excited to share more of my kitchen ideas and adventures. Mom, had a great time po!
