tricky in the Tropics

To work with gelatin and real whipping cream (I'm not talking about the industrial, over sweetened chemical stuff called "cool whip") can be really difficult in the Tropics.

Best is to work during the night time when the temperature is cooling down. You have to be very fast... and you need space in the fridge to store the prepared ingredients. I think it's understandable that I'm not very keen on doing this.

But if you have the chance to get fresh strawberries and REAL whipping cream (you have to drive several miles to get this) it's a must to bake a strawberry-biscuit roll.

Bon appetit :)

 

Impatience, thy name is woman!

Exactly 24 hours I could stand it, not to use the new machine. Then I could not hold back any longer and decided to bake my husbands favorite pastry.

 Yeast bun with raisins

 
To challange the machine at least a little bit, I've prepared twice the amount of dough.
It's amazing how easily the large kneader can knead the heavy dough.

And because I had so much fun with my new gadget, I baked some more breads. ;)
