Can't beleive that I made it!

I made crossaint! Yes, I made it....I have baked many cakes, but I never thought of making an attempt to make homemade crossaint.

Making any desserts that requires a special skills of molding, folding or decorating is not my type. It's not as difficult as I thought but it's not as easy as some people said so. It was a boring night..my house was out of Internet connection. It was too early to go to bed, so I needed to find something to do. At least preparing something for breakfast, so I can enjoy my beautiful morning talking to my flowers in the garden.

It requires patience as well as making any homemade puff pastry, but the most challenging part for me is to roll them nicely. They all turned out to be a little bit different from each other, but I can recognize their shapes as crossaint. I think I made it a little too big ....... I will improve it next time.

I could smile at my crossaint only after I cut them. It's much nicer than I thought I would turn out. Yes, I and Huggie enjoyed it for our breakfast.

Wherever you are, hope you have a beautiful day.

I hesitate to ........

It has been quite a while that I didn't bake. The first reason is that I was enjoying summer gardening and the second reason is that I was on a diet.

Well, it is difficult for me to live without desserts. It is something to color my life. I have to admit that I hesitated to bake this brownie, but I finally did.

I was deciding between baking prune cake and brownie.....prune cake sounds more healthy but dark chocolate is also a superfood,right? Needless to say, I went to the kitchenand and started to bake "prune brownie". Just to be fair, I combine them into one !

The brownie turned out to be super delicious. The added prune makes this brownie unique...a tad of sourness in prune is wonderful. I adapted my cocoa brownie by adding prune. It's not only enhance the taste, but also make this brownie moist and chewy.

It's really worth the wait. I can now enjoy munching my brownie while sitting out in my garden where the flowers are in bloom. Sometimes a little treat can brighten our day, so give yourself a reward after a tough day at work.

Have a beautiful day, everyone.
