Hi Min,

Yam is a tuber food...like sweet potatoes.

You can buy magazines like Y3K. Which part of australia are you in?

Hello again and off course another thumbs up for this lovely cake! May I call you Lucy? because from reading your previous comments I found out that we are the same age:)and suddenly realized I've joined the rankings of high-cholestrol, inactivity, etc. etc.. abut I still love to bake AND eat it too, so I wonder if you can share the recipe for the green tea cloud swiss roll (it looks like made without egg yolks?) or any other swiss rolls recipe that is yolkless? Thanks - Anita

Hello Aunty,

Did you say that you can help with ordering books from Singapore? I live in Australia too (Sydney) but my family's in Perth.
Just wondering.

Hi aunty, do you mind sharing the recipe for this sponge cake. The cake looked so soft and I'm so tempted to try baking it. My email account is lynn08sg@yahoo.com.sg

Thanks and regards,

Hi Jenny,

Hi Lucy

It's a nice purple cream !

1) Did you use yam essence or real
yam puree?

2) Is it a butter cream type or
whipping cream ?

Somehow I always tried using your sponge cake recipe and my cake texture turned out to be a bit dry. Kindly advise what's the cause for this. Thanks so much !

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mscake,

if you find it hard to make the simple sponge, just make the optima sponge cake will do.

I used Yam essence and a drop of purple colouring.

Hello Aunty!

I don't want to trouble you for ordering books, but thank you very much for your very kind offer to help. I just want to know how much are the Alex Goh cookbooks (creative cakes, fruity cakes) and where can you find them?

Where can you buy Yam essence and what brand is good? I love Yam cakes!

Jenny

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi jenny,

These books are not expensive... Each book is between S$12.oo to $14-90 each.

You can get Yam essence from Sun Lik.

Just go to Sun Lik and you can get many things there. You can even buy cookbooks (Alex goh, etc...) from Sun Lik too.
