Approximately 5+ years later, I finally downloaded (a few of) the photos of when we were younger, happier, fashionable and when summer holidays (and Azure window) still existed. ☀️ Thankful we had the chance to see the world through the Azure Window 🤣 (at Malta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQ6EC0lrc0/?igshid=8u58v040x48z

One recipe that I would like to recreate using the @mayerspore Mayer 5.5L Stand Mixer is a lemon meringue tart! 🍋🍋🍋 Swipe right to see the delicious lemon curd. I just love lemons 🍋🍋🍋 Making the meringue can be pretty boring and tiring 💪🏻 if you are just there holding the hand mixer for a couple of minutes. And if you don’t hold it properly you may get egg whites splattered everywhere! The Mayer stand mixer comes with a anti-splash cover to help prevent that and it can whip up to 18 egg whites. Best part is I don’t have to hold the mixer 😝 Thanks @mayerspore and @sophiensyy for the giveaway! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEtq-KzFe_x/?igshid=dmfuhync9ms

Made this Kerokeropi inspired buns using @dressacake ‘s recipe today and they are so fragrant and fluffy! And it’s so cute 🐸 would definitely make it again! @dressacake made this buns using the @mayerspore Mayer 5.5L Stand Mixer. They are hosting a giveaway I would love to recreate this recipe with the stand mixer if I win the giveaway! It comes with a dough hook and will make kneading dough so easy 😄 Swipe right to see me tearing open the fluffy bun. 🐒 As I didn’t have kaya I replaced the filling with shredded coconut. The features are drawn with melted chocolate. I also proofed the buns using the dough proofing function of my Mayer Smart Electric Oven - it makes life so easy! 😍 And my oven thermometer is now neglected because the oven comes with build in thermometer and every bake comes out perfect since the temperature is so accurate. #mayersingapore #bakewithmayer #pandanbun #pandanbuns #pandanbread #kerokeropi #cutebuns #coconutbuns #fluffybuns #breadrecipe #cutebread #frogbuns #kerokeropibread https://www.instagram.com/p/CErQvEvlppd/?igshid=nipnojdph966

You must be wondering why I’m posting photos of making traditional wanton from scratch. @mayerspore & @mfa_dingoozatfood are kindly doing a giveaway for a Mayer 5.5L Stand Mixer and I would love to win it! Stand mixers are versatile and it’s not just meant for baking sweets and bread, it can also be used to make dough and other savoury dishes using the dough hook attachment. It’s sturdy built and metal accessories will make kneading a breeze, and making these delish dishes is a great way to bond with family. Pictured is a traditional northern Chinese dumpling known as 混沌 (wanton) but quite different from the version we have in Singapore. Grandma makes the best wanton and even though she taught me how, I found it tedious to knead the dough, prepare the filling, make the wanton and cook the soup. (Obviously I found taking photos easier) With Mayer’s stand mixer, I could complete the steps (kneading dough, mixing filling) with less effort and recreate these traditional homemade dishes. I’ll also be using my Mayer Chopper and Blender to chop/blend the filling (and isn’t the ice blue shade lovely?) It’s not that hard with the right tools! Aside from wanton, you can make delicious homemade noodles (swipe right to see picture). Thank you grandma for making these delicious traditional goodies and teaching me these recipes passed down generations. I hope I can continue to recreate them with the help of modern technology 😆 #bakewithmayer #mayersingapore https://www.instagram.com/p/CEo3plaligG/?igshid=1hqftukgjzn1p

Can you believe that even though I bake so much I don’t even own a mixer? Not even a hand mixer! That’s why I would really love the win the Mayer Stand Mixer giveaway by @mayerspore and @baking_taitai 😍 One recipe I would love to recreate is a lemon chiffon cake! Before I attempted chiffon cakes, I whipped everything with a whisk and pure brute force. Picture above is the most successful attempt at a lemon chiffon cake so far (and only because my kind friend @mini_flamingo lent me her hand mixer) Swipe right to see the failed pancake attempts and the biggest arm workouts I had attempting to whip meringue with fork, whisk and a milk frother. It was tiring, messy and a pure disaster - please don’t try! Hope that with the Mayer Stand Mixer I can finally bake a tall and proud lemon chiffon cake! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEl_zBVF5tW/?igshid=o0cm3zfxeg00

Thank you @jolenekcw and @mayerspore for the giveaway! One recipe that I would really want and need the Mayer 5.5L Stand Mixer to recreate is sourdough bread. It is so hard for me to knead the 500g dough to achieve windowpane effect. The hand mixer I’m using does not even come with dough hooks and will be too weak. Hope that with the stand mixer my sourdough bread will no longer be so gummy, achieve better oven spring etc! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEdpY1jl8zq/?igshid=1wiyw5j6eqhle

Not just one, but there are so so so many desserts and breads that I would love to create with the Mayer Stand Mixer - it’ll make baking such a breeze! (Compared to using a hand mixer!) Top of my mind would be a Lotus Biscoff burnt cheesecake as I can just throw everything in and fully automate the process 😊 I can also make banana bread, whip meringue for lemon meringue tarts and chiffon cake, bake lemon pound cakes, rye breads and cute turtle bread! And oh everything is baked using the Mayer Smart Electric Oven MMO40D which I love love love so much and have recommended to many. Love the real time thermometer, the dual heating elements and how it bakes so evenly and accurately. Best Buy this year that totally changed failed bakes to successful bakes. @mayerspore @thankgodforpink https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcdBjqFJnd/?igshid=wpyo3y3wlmxj

I ❤️ PASTA Also my feed was filled with photos of pasta back in 2013-2015. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5zGjIlOSl/?igshid=1nrgybm7wbiaa

Since we can’t travel to Korea now, I tried to make some 流行 bread which is apparently popz in Korea. It uses more oil and fats than cake 😖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1Le1AFPh8Kkey8fLgQFnij2awi1Zfbp30Cfs0/?igshid=i64llf09zaki

When life gives you lemons 🍋🍋🍋 buy Lululemon 🍋🍋🍋 Nah kidding, make a lemon cake. Love the extra tanginess from the lemon glaze and the fragrance from the flower petals. First try with a Lekue mould, love the shape but got to work on unmoulding Fun fact: the afternoon sun gave some moodiness elements to these photos and I loved how it turned out so I skipped editing #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHqTY4lLOM/?igshid=1d6vmxv00u8jc
