aprilfoodsday:)

below are some of the foods i made earlier this year (in april, specifically)

you know how there are monthly favorites on youtube where gurus showcase their favorite makeup/hair products during the end or beginning of a month? i think i should do exactly the same on this blog, except, it is the recipes i make! what do you think? > :)

anyways, here are the photos :)

above are mini chocolate cupcakes i made, dressed in a creamy rich chocolate ganache, and sprinkled with heart shaped decorations (:

they were absolutely delicious! :3

above are photos of fruit tarts i made from our school's annual Fruit Day, an event that promotes healthy eating across the campus. as complicated as these babies look, they were very easy to make. this recipe only consists of three components:

- the shell, which is a basic buttery pastry crust

- custard

- fresh fruits

there are many variations of fruit tarts on the internet. i am sure you can find one that suits you perfectly :)

potato balls are one of the most delicious treats you can have. whether or not you are a professional chef, everyone has the ability to make these mouth-watering snacks. my mum and i came up with this recipe a few years ago, and our family have been eating these bite-size treats ever since.  these potato balls are perfect for any children's party. 

there are some many variations you can make to this recipe, but this is our family's favorite:

1. mash a few potatoes 

2. add in butter and milk/cream until smooth

3. season with salt and pepper to taste

4. throw in some diced onions and shredded cheese (parmesan and cheddar) into the mixture

5. sprinkle with additional shreds of cheese

6. bake

7. enjoy! :)
