Fresh from the oven!!

Hello to all who reads my blog..

this is my first official post..

Eversince a young age I have been very interested in baking especially baking cakes, muffins, breads, quick breads and so on..

I love festivals and birthdays..because it is during those periods that I have a chance to cater food for family and friends!!..

Not till recent years did people around Singapore become more and more health conscious, I have been greatly influenced. As a matter of fact with the many illnesses that people around be have..

There is a NEED to change what they eat..haha

Well it is unfair to tell a diabetic you cannot eat cake it is HIGH in SUGAR content!!.well there are substitutes which you have put in apart from the normal granulated sugar we usually put in cakes..haha

Butter too fatty or oily? Well substitute it with applesauce..

Cholesterol problem? Remove the yolks and change always aim for alternatives..healthy indulgence is still possible!!

There are even Gluten Substitutes!! Certain cakes like merigue cakes and Macaroon's doesn't even require gluten..

DO NOT STOP EATING FOR THE SAKE OF HEALTHY LIVING..

-substitute and change the ingredients you put in..

Initially it was hard but after years of effort I can assure you it is possible to substitute all those bad things in the muffin(my favourite and specialty i must say). You will never get bored of muffins there are just so many different kinds of them to go with..fruits, nuts, vegetables, cheese, buttermilk, yeast, honey, oat, bran..you name you have it!

The great about muffins is you can substitute most of the calories out and it still tastes just as good!..moist on the inside and crusty on the outsides

If your afraid of it being too heaty eat it when its cool, the texture would be just as spongey with a tinge of moisture and air trapped inbetween several grains of flour or bran.

control the size..
muffins have this exact proportion all already in one piece! Psychologically people tend to binge on their favourite cakes. Why? Simply because they haven't finished that whole "round" of cakes..once you finish that circle you will be contented. You should have realised by now how round a muffin is..and by now you should get the concept huh?
