A sweet New Year's treat with coffee cream and chocolate cake.

Happy new year!

Everyone❤︎Thank you for your continued support this year.

It has been a year and a half since the Haikara Museum of Art (online) opened.

This year, let's have peace of mind and power up!!
I'd love that to happen~

Today let me introduce you to some New Year's Day snacks.

This is the buttercream cake I baked.

Regardless of appearance

It focuses on the content.

Hokkaido strong flour Co-op eggs Cane sugar Four-leaf clover Butter Couverture Chocolate Homemade plum jam

I've been making cakes for about seven years.

Is he surprisingly clumsy?

It always looks like this...

But it's really delicious.

What is the secret to success in making delicious cakes?

A book titled "Easy Recipes from the Internet that Anyone Can Do" (Cookpad)

No, no! In my case, it's all no good.

I had a lot of failures and it was hard work.

Amateur cake making

I recommend a recipe book by a professional pastry chef.

~Introduction of my teacher~

* His favorite recipe is "The Basics of Italian Sweets" by Chef Mamoru Kataoka
This is a very helpful book that gave me the solution.
*I also like Chef Kawaguchi Katsuhiko's books.
As expected, it's different! It's the real thing! After watching and reading it, I've enriched my brain.
My way of making cakes is to incorporate some of these recipes into my regular cake making. It makes me feel like a chef.
"Au Bon Vieux Temps" by Katsuhiko Kawada: The Delicious Reasons. The Basics of Sweets, Complete Recipes (Cooking Lessons from Top Chefs)
Let's make and eat lots of it this year too.
