Hello folks, We are making fresh strawberry scones today but before that a huge Thank you for the overwhelming response on the last post I did on my mom’s birthday. If you did’nt read it yet – very bad because it has some super cool life hacks I live by. It was instantaneous, planned and executed in merely few hours and purely out of love and more love and longing for her.fresh strawberry scones

So last weekend was pretty hectic in terms of customized cakes and I was feeling a lot of pressure, well because

  • I had just came back from a quick spring vacation and had to immediately be back on toes.
  • Out of four clients, three are my favorites as they completely trust me on everything, they just tell me the theme and flavor ideas and leave the rest on me – this is a lot of pressure guys to do your best and the bar has to be raised somehow.
  • They were all 20 plus persons cake and lot of details and a few techniques were to be tried for the first timeFresh Strawberry buttermilk scones 

Well, it all went really well (Alhamdolillah) and they super liked everything from design to taste. Lot of people asked how projects like these can be managed. It needs some, ok lot of planning, time management and some pro activity. This, I will tell in detail in my coming posts, so if you are interested in knowing how to manage big projects whether its cake or otherwise along with family and kids on weekends, a bit of socializing here and there, taking care of yourself all while keeping your sanity intact then comment below and I will make sure that I share my top tips very soon.Strawberry Buttermilk Scones

After that crazy weekend, something had to be done to unwind and what’s better than relaxing with friends. We planned to meetup and I made these super quick crazy crumbly delicious fresh strawberry scones. I did not glaze them just to cut down some calories (well, atleast I tried)  and part laziness but my chocoholic friends made me get up, melt chocolate and drizzle over it. I drizzled a few only and the rest of the scones were dunk in the melted chocolate and devoured. They even protested on the flat spatula I put in melted chocolate and wanted a laddle instead. Oh dear, talk about bad influence! But mental peace achieved! Total bliss! Somehow calories consumed with friends should not be counted. Sigh!

These scones are adapted from my virtual baking inspiration Sally’s Baking Addiction website but with few changes like fruits and glaze. They are super easy but make sure you use cold butter, don’t knead them much, work with light hand pressure and fingers only and chill well. A keeper recipe with lot of variation options.

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
