Lapis Mandarin Orange Moscovis

Busy everyone?? I know I am! Sorry for not being able to update my blog as regularly as I want to.. cleaning is like a never ending story.. tks to hb.. he managed to help me clean all our windows and doors last weekend.. Sonia helped me to scrub our stairs railing hahaha and for the past couple of days I hv been baking layer cakes non stop.. its like I am baking and the same time been out and abt to get a few things too and finally today I was able to finish up baking all my layer cakes.. I also managed to sew my curtains today and come tomorrow I will start to bake a simpler cake and hopefully by thursday I will be able to go to moms place early to help her to cook for Eid.. eh wait.. I still hv to make agar agar for her!! eeekkk

Every year this is how it works.. if hb plans to invite his friends over on the first day of Eid.. I will be busy cooking at home.. but if he says that he will invite them some other day.. I will hv to help mom to cook instead.. sooo really no matter what.. I cant run away fm it muahahah

Anyway for the past couple days.. this is what I hv been looking at.. cans of Golden Churn butter and WIJSMAN brand butter (i dont think u can find wijsman here in Sg) and also trays and trays of eggs.. not just an ordinary egg mind ya.. these eggs that u see here weigh 75g each without shells.. I love it!!

And yes this cake uses abt 34 - 36 egg yolks in total.. I know its crazy but hey u wud hv the urge to bake it too if u think ur up for the challenge.. the only thing that makes me feel a little frustrated was when i forgot to change the setting for the last method.. dangggg... always the case when ur too careful lol.. anyway I am planning to bake it again tomorrow cos u know what??? this is the top.. and I mean the top in my list for the best lapis cake ever!! super melt in ur mouth and the taste is so so indescribable.. heavennnnnn
