Passionatemae turns 5!

Passionatemae turns 5! Seriously, time really flies. But truth be told, even though I've had my blog for 5 years, I've not had the chance to fully dedicate myself to my blog. Life always gets in the way. And if it really wasn't for your continuous support, Passionatemae wouldn't have survived this long. Because of the support that I get from all of you, it has kept me motivated to continue to share my journey on baking and open up about my other passions related to food. 

I am so very thankful to be celebrating the 5th Anniversary of my blog!

Here are my favourite highlights turning a year older. 

Met these ladies at the Cake, Bake and Sweets show! You can also check out my review .

An afternoon with Heston for the "Heston for Coles" VIP launch!

These melt in your mouth Sea Salted Caramel with a shot of Rum (recipe)! Yum! Personally not a fan of caramels, but these..yum! 

 Torta Alla Gianduia (Nutella cake), I made for my husband's birthday! Check out the video below! 

In June, I started a new series called "Sweet Findings" featured every Fridays! Check out this week's entry!

I have also branched out into other things other than just baking (recipes). Also, am very grateful to hear from my readers and I took some time to answer questions from my dear readers here (Part 1) & (Part 2).

My posts are growing more in the "Did you know?" section of my blog! 

Latest addition to the family. Kitchen Essentials Part 5 : How long can you store your Ingredients? (Part 1| Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4) . More topics in this section.

I believe that I have finally found my style of writing. It took me a long time. The kind of tone, style to communicate with you. But I believe I have found it! I am glad! :) *grins*

 This is soooo not food-related, but from time to time, I talk about our adorable four-legged baby beagle, Cooper! 

Thanks again for believing in me. I'm happy to say that I've achieved more things these couples of months when I started investing more of my time to my blog than before. And I will continue to do more from now on!

Stained Glass Jelly (Broken Glass Jello)

When I first saw these colourful beauties, I knew I had to make it myself!

Food blogger Not Quite Nigella had also made these.

I shall show you how easy it is to make it! It is a great dessert for parties.

All you need:

4-6 packets of Aeroplane Jelly 

4-6 plastic containers

Baking Mould/Tin

Boiling water

Cold Water

2 Envelopes of powdered Gelatin

1x395g Sweetened Condensed Milk

Non-stick Oil Spray

All you need to do:

1) Spray each container with non-stick oil spray. Set aside.

2) Dissolve each Aeroplane Jelly packet with 1 cup of boiling water over the stove, whisking briskly so that all crystals are dissolved. Pour in a container. Repeat until you've finished all the Aeroplane Jelly.

3) Set aside to cool before covering with lids to put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

4) Sprinkle the gelatine powder into 1/2 cup of cold water, once the gelatine blooms, add 1 cup of boiling water to dissolve. Mix the sweetened condensed milk with the dissolve gelatine liquid, stir and cool.

5) Once the jellies are set, chopped them into small cubes and gently mix it in the prepared mould.

You can use any kind, shot glasses....

6) Once the condensed milk is cool but still pourable, make sure to pour them into the moulds with the coloured cubed jellies.

7) Let it set properly overnight in the fridge before serving or removing it from the mould.

This is such a simple dessert to make!
