(all photos taken by dee at sweet scarlett)

I love Desserts.

Its in my blood and my hand. And my mind.

It gave me a lot of happiness when i'm making them...taste them.

I just looooove desserts...

Meet The Trio ...

Sexy Fruits on da Cream...Greenie Matcha and Coffee Chocolate Delight.

Inspired from Bakerzin Dessert Tapas and PH's Emotion Line that presenting desserts in to small or medium glassess.Usually line of Moussess, Triffles, or other desserts creation. I love to make this trio of desserts. So much fun...so many refreshing colour and dont forget the cream-finger lickin' ... Yum!

Coffee Chocolate Delight

I used my -allready-chocolate mousse and coffee mousse recipe posting. But for this recipe i added some liqouer on it. Rum to chocolate mousse and Kahlua on coffee mousse. And for the base i used coffee sponge cake brushed with kahlua coffee simple syrup then layering with chocolate rum mousse topped with chocolate sponge brushed with rum simple syrup layered with last kahlua coffee moussse. Topped with generous of rosette whipped chantilly cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Sexy Fruits on Da Cream

It was kind of Triffle. But i dont used custard on it. Just used Rum Chantilly Cream,a cube of white-rum syrup brushed-sponge and those sexy fruits (in my opinion) ...fresh slices strawberry and Canned sweets Peach.

I love the reflect of their two contrast colour. Just put them -arranged in layer or free from- in glasses , chill for 1 or two hours and its ready!

Greeny Matcha Luvable

Its a matcha mousse layered on a matcha sponge cake sprinkle with matcha powder.

I never get enough on a desserts something - with matcha on it. i love the slowly bitter taste of Matcha. I love how they smell...

its changed!

Haha...feel so bored with my own foodblog. So i decided to changed! No need the theme as usual. Its free posting style now. My foodblog still so young but i love it! This is my second home. Do really hope all of u enjoyed it...

The UniqueTaste of Black Sesame Paste

Sesame Seeds

Its not Sesame Street...well, its seeds. Its unique. Its fragrant after you toasted them. I love to eat them ... the toasted allready or as chocolate-peanut-sesame martabak (asian thick pancake, very famous in Indonesia). I have been making Black Sesame Paste a couple days ago, to complete the mini eclair's order (read the post after this post) . Well...its kind hard to find black sesame paste here in Jakarta, so i try to make it. The first time i only used (Only) black sesame seeds. But i found it too bitter, less that unique-i love-taste. So i change some with white sesame seeds. And...i got the taste! i dont know if black sesame paste was made from 100% of black sesame seeds or not. So, please, if any of you knowing about this, just leave me a note.
The Sesame Seeds
This is my homemade Black (or Black and white? since i used both of them) Sesame Paste. I have only tried it to mixed with custard to fill the mini eclair (very yummy!). I still have the paste in my refrigerator so i think i will make some of mousse, cookies and sponge cake. i am curious...can wait to put my apron and the oven on!

Mini Eclair Galore...The Sweet Order

all photos by dee at sweet scarlett

A couple days ago one of my friends called me and asked if i could take an order to make mini eclairs for one of leading woman magazine in Indonesia (F*m*n*a)...and i said off course i could. So i contacted the one that in charge in the Kitchen Test in that magazine. Very nice woman of her. it tooks 2 times test food. the first one just like this...Its 4 variants...Chocolate Rum Eclair with milk chocolate topped and diced peanuts, Citrus Grand Marnier Eclair with orange flavour chocolate topped , Coffee Kahlua Eclair with coffee fondant glaze and Green Tea Eclair with green tea fondant glaze.

1 day after they tested my minie eclairs, they gave some conclusion. After short phone talking, i go back to the kitchen to make what they really want...they want to cut up the glaze .they want it to be simple but still looking nice. and they changed the Citrus Grand Marnier Eclair with Black Sesame Eclair. its an unique one. i made my own black sesame paste because its difficult to get black sesame paste here in Jakarta.

And...they agree! so...i have to make 400 pcs (*update:well, they asked for another 100 mini eclairs, so the total was 500 pcs) of this mini eclairs with 4 choosed variants ...

1.Black Sesame Mini Eclairs; i made very classics style of Custard that used a lot egg yolk. Then mix with black sesame paste after the custard slowly cooled. Love the taste!

2.Green Tea Mini Eclair ; the usual one . Just mix the green tea powder with cooled custard.

3.Chocolate Rum Mini Eclair ; I used Belgian Cocoa Powder that i melted it first to become a paste, then mixed with cooled custard and a lot of Myers Black Rum.

4.Coffee Kahlua Mini Eclair ; make a coffee paste first than add to cooled custard with generous Kahlua mixed well. My Fav!
