Daring Bakers: Chocolate Éclairs

08_31_2008

My very first Daring Bakers Challenge! Although I’m really thrill about this month’s challenge, Chocolate Éclairs, I’m a little disappointed at myself. As you can tell by my disappointing picture taking skills and arrangement of the eclairs, these were not made with 100% love and devotion =( I really wanted to take the time to perfect my eclairs, but this month and especially this week has been crazy. I was up for 20 hours on Friday! I’m hoping I’ll be able to focus more on next month’s challenge.

Hot buns coming through!

Corn & Ham Bun

The Asian bakery. The one place I know I can turn to if I had less than $2 and need to be filled up. Roast pork bun, egg custard tart, red bean bun, taro bread, pineapple bun, small sections and slices of cakes, red bean ice, bubble tea, milk tea…I can go on and on. I truly believe that bakeries, and not just Asian ones, are truly the original fast (and good for you) food establishments.
