Cynthia's Mini Mango Cheesecake

Similar to the Mango Cheesecake, I made these Mini Mango Cheesecakes with the extra ingredients I had. 

This recipe is fun! I adopted the mango mirror layer from Ann's Mango Mirror Cake but I made slight adjustments to it.

I'd rate this recipe a difficulty level 4 out of 5 and it takes about 2 hours to make all in all. 

Cynthia's Mango Cheesecake

I've probably been too stressed of late.Well, with that, I'm down with Shingles. It really caught me by surprise but there's nothing I can do about it other than rest and take my medicine and apply the cream prescribed by the doctor. Being confined at home is super boring. 

With that, I decided to bake as my hands were itchy. With the mango my dad bought a couple of days ago, I made this Mango Cheesecake. I love the colours and my dad loves mangoes! Fear not, he has gotten chicken pox before so he's safe being near me. It's only infants, children, the elderly, the sick and those who have yet to contact chicken pox that I should avoid. I can't wait to make a full recovery!

Nevertheless, this recipe was fun! I adopted the mango mirror layer from Ann's Mango Mirror Cake but I made slight adjustments to it. 

I'd rate this recipe a difficulty level 4 out of 5 and it takes about 2 h 30 minutes to make all in all. 

Cynthia's Cranberry Cheesecake

I chanced upon these beautiful cranberries in the local supermarket while I was out shopping (yet again!). I decided to try this beautiful version of Cranberry Cheesecake. 

This recipe is relatively simple and I'd rate it a difficulty level 4 out of 5 (only difficulty is getting the layers right) and it takes about 2 hours 30 minutes to complete. 

Cynthia's Mini Oreo Cheesecake

This is the dainty version of the Oreo Cheesecake that's really well received! 

I'd rate this recipe a difficult level 3 out of 5 and it takes about 2 - 2.5 hours all in all to prepare. 

Scallop Aglio Olio

Here's a simple recipe for a really fuss-free meal! (: Linguine with awesome bacon and scallops. SLURPS! Love the heat to this dish too!

I'd rate this recipe a 3 out of 5 in terms of difficulty and it'd take about 30 minutes to cook. 

Cynthia's Nutella Cheesecake

I'm probably a little too obsessed over cheesecakes these days. The number of cheesecakes I've been creating have been a little insane. Then again, I really love to bake! I also love to feed people around me. Hence, I had the idea to infuse Nutella into the cheesecake recipe that I've been meddling with. Little did I know it'd be such a hit with my colleagues! (:

One set-back of this cake is that the glaze is REALLY SLIPPERY. It tastes amazing but it doesn't cling on well onto the cake. I'd suggest that you follow the suggestion I've made in the video. Also, just be a little more careful when transporting the cake! (:

Anyway, the cake is relatively simple so I'd rate it a difficulty level 3 out of 5. It should take about 3 hours in all to complete. 

Cynthia's Mango Strawberry Cheesecake

I'm on a cheesecake roll! I decided to bake for my cell group since I'd see them after service tonight. Hence, I made this Mango Strawberry Cheesecake after a short walk in NTUC.

NTUC is like one of the best but yet worst places for me to shop. I simply spend too much money in NTUC! Then again, it makes me happy... (: Anyway, this Mango Strawberry Cheesecake is fun to bake and colourful to boot! (: Do check out the video tutorial at the end of this blog post!

On a side note, something really cheesed me off today. I don't really care if someone wants to use my recipes to sell the cakes for a living. But have some damn decency to BAKE THE CAKE YOURSELF and use the picture of what you have baked for sales. https://www.facebook.com/wendy.lim.165033 obviously doesn't even know how to remove watermarks as she merely CROPPED my images and reposted as hers. Have some integrity woman. That's obviously LYING to your potential customers as you DID NOT BAKE THE CAKES YOURSELF. After being confronted by me, she conveniently BLOCKED me. Woman, is that the best you can do? SHAME ON YOU! 

I'm still considering what I should do to her. I can go all the way and bring her down. But of course, I can be nicer. She still hasn't removed the images. Probably just acting like nothing happened. 

Anyway, angry stuff aside, I hope that you'll enjoy this recipe. I'd rate this recipe a difficulty level 4 out of 5 and it'd take about 2 hours 30 minutes in all to complete of which 1 h 30 minutes of the time you're pretty much free to do your own stuff.

Cynthia's Rainbow Strawberry Cheesecake

This Rainbow Strawberry Cheesecake was done last Saturday as a joint birthday celebration with my girls. It was really fun to see all the beautiful colours come together. The most challenging bit of the cake would probably be the pouring of the cream cheese mixture to get the right layering effect. 

I hope that you'll enjoy this recipe. I'd rate this recipe a difficulty level 4 out of 5 and it'd take about 2 hours 30 minutes in all to complete of which 1 h 30 minutes of the time you're pretty much free to do your own stuff.

Cynthia's Ribena Cheesecake

Today, I couldn't wait. I made a Ribena Cheesecake yesterday. 

However, it wasn't strong enough in the Ribena department. Of course, me being me, I could not wait to perfect the recipe. Today, I headed into the kitchen to work on an improved version. Also, I did a video tutorial for it! So instead of the usual photographic step by step recipe, here's a video tutorial recipe (:

This recipe is relatively simple so I'd rate it a difficulty level 3 out of 5. It will take about 2 h 30 minutes to complete this project. 

Cynthia's Chocolate Raspberry Tart

Sometimes, we all just need something that is so sinfully rich that it blows us away. This is one of those glorious tarts that's mind-blowing. 

It is pretty mind-blowing too that such a pretty tart can be almost effortless to prepare. This tart takes merely 1h 30 minutes to put together and you have lots of free time in between to do your stuff! (: I'd rate this simple tart a difficulty level 2 out of 3. 

Cynthia's Vietnamese Spring Roll

Inspired by Sharron, I made these Vietnamese Spring Roll since my colleague gave me a pack of the rice paper yesterday! There are many renditions of a Vietnamese Spring Roll and this is my rendition of it. It may differ from what others have but I like it this way! (:

My dad loved this so much he had like 7 of them! We loved them with the dip. It can be bland without the dip so I hope you'll enjoy my rendition of it.. Else, you can always tweak it to suit your taste buds! (:

As the quantities for this really varies on how much filling you put, I can only advise a rough amount of each ingredient to prepare. 

This is really simple to prepare so I'd rate it a difficulty level 2 out of 5 and it'd take 30 minutes to prepare. 

Cynthia's Oreo Cheesecake

This has been one of those bakes I've been wanting to try. I may not be able to eat cream cheese but the cake has been well received by those who have taken it! This cake is similar to the Cynthia's Strawberry Cheesecake and Cynthia's Berries Cheesecake which were ultimate hits! They were so highly raved by those who made it and those who were lucky enough to taste it. With that, I made this recipe for Oreo Cheesecake. It does not use whipped cream like most recipes ask for. Instead, it uses yoghurt. As such, the cake is soft and tofu-like (according the Billy) without being sickeningly rich like most cheesecakes. Even my dad loved it so much that he had quite a bit of it! 

Anyway,  I'd rate this recipe a difficult level 3 out of 5 and it takes about 2 - 2.5 hours all in all to prepare.
