I wish Halloween would come really soon...


On friday I had a really nice day!! In the morning, I had a interview for working at the Barbie Shop here at Barcelona... there are only 3 in all around the world! I'll know about this next week, wish me luck! After having lunch, I prepared myself and went to Plaza Catalunya for meeting some gorgeous people and take some coffee with them... 




Yes, the people from Skins' blog had a meeting! We played with the happy baloon, talked and laugh a lot! I adore these guys! And it was really special because Olivia, a girl from Madrid, was staying here for the weekend, so we could meet her!!
Isn't she beautiful?

We played with fake meatballs, drunk some delicious drinks and had a great time!


Did you had a good friday? I really hope so!
Next week i'll be writting from my home at Algeciras , I'm taking a flight to Malaga on Tuesday... yaw!


KBB # 18 MACARONS





Kali ini tantangan tersulit dan gatot tot.....next time pingin aku coba siapa tahu berhasil, ditantangan ini baru sekali mencoba karena awal juli liburan sekolah setelah itu lanjut acara retret kemudian lanjut kemping....setelah kemping malah flu berat dan tak bisa mengulang juga sungguh ini bulan yang panjang rasanya. Tanpa berlama lama simak resep berikut ya :








GRUE DE CACAO MACARONS


Untuk 12 sandwiched macarons




(Resep dari bu hosting "Arfi")






Bahan:




2 putih telur


2 sendok makan caster sugar


100g icing sugar, ayak bersama 60g almond powder (3 times)


1 sendok makan grue de cacao (saya skip untuk yang ini)




Cara membuat :


Kocok putih telur hingga berbusa, lalu tambahkan caster sugar sedikit demi sedikit, sambil terus dikocok sehingga menghasilkan stiff peak. Matikan mesin. Masukkan sekitar 2 sendok makan ayakan icing sugar dan almond powder ke dalam kocokan meringue. Aduk untuk ‘melemaskan’ adonan, lalu masukkan sisanya dalam dua tahap. Aduk, lalu masukkan grue de cacao. Terus aduk sehingga menghasilkan adonan yang makin lemas (ketika diaduk, akan merata dengan sendirinya, meskipun mengaduknya masih di dalam mangkuk). Masukkan adonan ini ke dalam piping bag dengan nozzle plain round. Semprot setiap bulatan ke atas baking tray yang dilapisi baking paper (or silicone paper, whatever convenience for you). Biarkan selama 1 jam. 15 menit sebelum 1 jam, panaskan oven dengan suhu 150C (oven saya pas untuk macarons segini, tapi sesuaikan dengan panas oven masing2 ya). Panggang selama 8-12 menit, atau jika sudah kelihatan ada kaki dan berwarna kekuningan. Keluarkan dari oven, biarkan sekitar 2-3 menit di loyang, lalu kelupas dari baking paper. Jika matang sempurna, maka macarons tidak akan lengket, tapi jika kurang matang atau terlalu lama dibiarkan di atas loyang panas, maka macarons akan lengket. Transfer kepingan macarons ini ke atas rak pendingin. Rekatkan dengan




Coffee cream filling.
Coffee Cream


50g white chocolate


1-1 1/2 sendok makan fresh/whipping/pouring cream


1 sendok teh coffee powder/instantcaramel essence (non alcohol) / butter rum essence




Masukkan semua bahan ke dalam heatproof bowl, jerang di atas panci berisi air panas (simmered). Biarkan hingga chocolate meleleh, lalu aduk. Segera angkat dari panasnya panci. Aduk terus hingga dingin dan filling mengental.


Tambahkan essence jika pakai.Extra, cream Chantilly atau sweetened whipped




Penyelesaian :


Ambil satu keping macaron, lalu sendokkan coffee cream ke atasnya. Sendokkan sweetened whipped cream, taburkan sejumput grue de cacao jika suka, tutup dengan kepingan macarons yang juga sudah diolesi coffee cream.
