From passion to profession - Caught in the 'pirate ship'

Chef Chung called (in mandarin) " Gina, Saturday you got 1 hr (6 to 7pm) to demonstrate your premixes and your famous MAGIMIX okay? got many many people about 300 - 500 pax) coming to the launching of my new cake decoration book, must come, must come okay?"

We set off at 12 noon boy! the journey was exceptionally long, heavy traffic, jammed and by the time we reach the hotel in PENANG was 5.40pm, 10 min to set up our demonstration table? Rush rush... as we enter the ballroom what a disappointment the many many people is only a handful (like 15 pax) then we are given a table at the corner of the room and by the time we set up it was already 6.15pm of course some audience came to see our counter tried our cookies samples and bought some premixes. Can you imagine how disappointed I told my colleagues in Cantonese " I have aboard into a 'pirate ship' - that mean coned! So what can we do but to make the best out of it - quickly show the audiences 1 of our Baker's One best selling item

"THE GREEN PEA COOKIES" It comes complete with step to step instruction which my friend Linda from Singapore call it "idiot proof" ha! ha! (the mix never fail you). Very suitable for beginners

It is a very yummy and cookie it melt in your mouth releasing the aroma of the pure green pea.


To start you need 110ml corn oil and a mould for making the cookies.


Here's the step to step pictures :-


Mix the GREEN PEA COOKIE MIX with the oil


then you level it and shape it up with the cutter





Bake it in the oven for 25-30 min at 180 degree Celsius and it's ready







When it cool down, pack it into a container and you can proudly serve your guest for the coming festive. And for us we take it back to our shop as sample for our customers...






then I sneak out and take some photos of my colleagues(look at them "so happy")

and of course the works of Chef....
