Saturday morning at @paulbakerysa with @chefpreneursa and all the wonderful people who attended our smarter phone photography workshop. Thank you everyone for bringing along your warmth and enthusiasm, and to @paulbakerysa for always being so generous with their space. And where would I be without @chefpreneursa to make my shots picture-perfect?

Saturday morning at ...

I turned 36 today, the All Gold age as @saminaanwary and @sameera_wadee_dasoo reminded me. What better way to celebrate than to make a cake out of it? Yep, the secret sauce in this batter is tomato sauce. I promise you, you will never guess it on tasting. Click the link in the bio for the recipe.
It's also #eatyourveggiesday - I'm saving the kale and apple cake for next year.

The best camera is the one you have right? Shot my lunch yesterday with my faithful #xiaomimi5s
@chefpreneursa and I are having a smartphone photography workshop on June 22nd in Johannesburg. Email snap@shootcake.com for the details.
Back to lunch; this was butternut soup blitzed up using my blender's soup heating function. It took about 15minutes to prep and cook (counting microwave time for the veg mix). Ingredients for the blender: almond milk, water, Knorr veg stock pot, salt, pepper, garam masala, cayenne pepper, dried coriander and a packet of pre-cooked butternut soup mix.
Souper.

The best camera ...

Had some leftover rooibos and star anise custard from the puffs yesterday (click on my bio for that link or visit @ilovebakingsa ) and decided to use up the kataifi pastry that's been in my freezer for yonks. I mixed melted Stork Bake into the pastry, pressed the strands into muffin cups and baked until golden. I made a simple syrup with lemon, rooibos and star anise to pour over the pastry. Once they cooled, I filled them with the custard and finished off with pistachio and more syrup.
Eid Mubarak!

The only time I post images on IG that aren't mine are when they're shot by @heinstirred.
Don't these crispy crème puffs with rooibos and star anise just sing to you? And don't I look so put-together? Click the link on bio for the recipe or visit @ilovebakingsa - I've done a little summary for their story feed.

The only time ...

For Eid with @ilovebakingsa this year, I came up with crispy crème puffs with a rooibos and star anise custard filling. The team wanted an mmmzansi twist for this year's bakes and rooibos custard was a no-brainer for me. Photographed here are the filled choux puffs from my first trial batch. I'll be uploading the far more photogenic ones from the Cape Town shoot tomorrow. If you're keen on the recipe in the meantime, hit the link in my bio.
