Sugar and milk

It is amazing that plain sugar and milk can create such a lovely flavor. This is my latest creation - caramel mousse cake, to celebrate our hard work over the previous year and embrace a more challenging 2008.

There are three layers in combination - fluffy cake base, crunchy chocolate corn flakes, and smooth and velvety caramel mousse on top and around, with caramelized banana for garnish.

Of course the procedure is a lot more complicated that it seems....ex. soaking and moisturizing cake base with godiva chocolate liquear, adding hazelnut paste into chocolate for a nuttier crunchy chucks. It is the subtlety of flavors that I will always strive for..which indeed absence from commercial cake shops. In the end, I am glad that everybody likes this cake a lot, giving me a confidence bust to create more new recipes with modern twist.

Caramel is next to chocolate in terms of adaptability with different ingredients.. I will make more sweet recipes to continue my lust for caramel.
