Rum BARS

The fad is in? Lately, I noticed that Rum Balls seems to be rather popular? Because there were a couple of failed bakes? Heehee... Most of the (home) bakers knew that they won't throw away any (cooked) failed bakes because we can turned them into Rum Balls. Or perhaps, there are some who loved Rum Balls so much, they probably baked a cake just to make Rum Balls? Yes? No? The recent bakers who made Rum Balls are Eat and Be Happy and Baking on Cloud 9.

There are many ways to create rum balls. One of the recipes is given by Baking on Cloud 9. For my department's bbq on Friday, I did some Rum Bars. I decided balls were too much work, so I made bars.


This was what went into my Chocolate Rum Bars:
- cake sponge: vanilla & chocolate;
- unsuccessful chocolate macarons;
- baked tart crusts
- 2 tbsp Rum
- chocolate ganache
Mix them all together using a mixer, till soft and blinded together.

Then I spread them out on a 10"x10" square pan, about 1" tall. Pour melted semi-sweet chocolate on it, and sprinkled with desiccated coconuts. Put them into the fridge to harden. The following day, I cut sliced them up into bars before my event. So there you go, presenting my Chocolate Rum Bars. I must admit, my "lazy" way somehow tasted really good. All my colleagues just raved about it!

Another Successful Attempt

This week, I was on leave for a few afternoons to coach my son for his exams. I told myself that I cannot bake in the afternoon. The afternoon timing is purely committed to coaching him. So far, I'm quite successful in this! So, I don't bake in the afternoon, I bake at night! :p If I wasn't on leave in the afternoon, I would have baked in the evening too! So I won't be so guilty. :p

On Monday evening, I bake my successful Chocolate Banana Chiffon cake. The recipe was extracted from Kevin Chai's Chiffons are Done!! I was very happy with the consistency of the "holes" in my chiffon cake. I added chocolate rice to it, which explained some of the bigger "holes".

Rum Balls as a Present

My parents are going to my uncle's birthday lunch tomorrow. So I made some rum balls for them to bring over to my uncle's house. My uncle & aunty are very wonderful people. Every Chinese New Year, they will cook a lot of food for us. They will also make muah chee for us. Well, this is at least a small token for my parents to bring over to their house tomorrow. Hopefully they will like it! :)

Liquor Balls

Felt like doing something simple this evening, so I chose to do Liquor Balls. I used other liquors instead of Rum this time.
