Aunty yochana, is it possible to add more peppermint essence to replace the Creme De Mente?
Thanks in advance,
Regina
Hi Regina,
Yes you can add more peppermint essence but becareful not to put too much as the peppermint essence is bitter.

Hi aunty Yochana
Please advise which brand of peppermint essence did you used as the essence which I bought does not have strong mint flavour. Have you try using fresh mint leave?

Hi HSL,
I really don't know the brand cos when I bought it from sun lik, it's already all bottled up.

Aunty Yochana,
Please tell me how you make such good stuff? You must be having some secret ingredient...How many years of learning curve did it take for you to get where you are at (In my definition of desserts, I think you are a the peak of dessert making)..Inspired by your blogs, I tried baking a pandan cake and it turned out into a disaster.. :( I just wish you were in bay area :(
Thanks for posting such creative and wonderful recipes and posting mouth watering pictures..
Regards

Hi Shivani,
I starting baking at the age of 12.
Long time huh!!! Don't worry at that time, it was just simple chocolate butter cake and I even invited my neighbours over to savour.
