First Swiss Roll

SInce getting my new oven, I had made anything with it beside the pizza but i didn't manage to get a pic of the pizza I had made. Yesterday, I had just went out and got a new baking pan specially for making swiss roll - 10"x 14" pan.


So after looking at all the recipe available i finally decide to made a chocolate swiss roll from Kevin Chai's elegant swiss roll book. But wanted to made a easy filling so I just thought I'll put in the blueberry filling I just bought together whipped cream.


The ingredient for the chocolate swiss roll was simple and straightforward where it only uses egg, sugar, flour, butter and cocoa. And I had reduced the temperature to 170 degree and it only took around 15 min to get done.


I thinkbeing new to making swiss roll I lack the experience in putting the right amount of filling as well as rolling up the swiss roll and did i made a big mess ha ha. And yes as you can see from the picture there was not enough filling in the centre. SO Will need more practice of swiss roll making.

My New Oven - gift from hubby

Had been dreaming of getting a bigger oven as the previous one- Akira Tabletop oven is just too small.. especially when u plan to bake a swiss roll or cookie and u just can't do everything at one time. I think I had been looking and looking for a newer and bigger oven.

But as there is just no place for a big big oven that come with a stove on top or even those that go on the wall in my in law's house so my option is very limited. meaning that if I were to get a new oven it must still be a table top type of oven. I had searched high n low and all the oven i saw was just a bit bigger and thus I had delayed my wish to get an oven and gave up ha ha..

But recently, I actually found one that was quite big but one thing is it's not branded and it's only the local made one. So was a bit hestitated on buying one as am not sure of it's quality. But after discussing with hubby and we decide to go for it. I actually wanted to buy the Aifa AE53R model which was quite big but luckily i didn't it earlier as they came out with the newer and bigger one Aifa AE54R.

This was what I wanted.. it was bigger and longer in size so making it very convenient to bake more cookie at one go.. and best of all it came free with 3 pizza pan and a pizza rack.. And it only $20 difference.. And today I brought hubby to go and see and got the new oven.. AM so happy he he... So tonight since got some guest coming to my house so will give the pizza making a try..
