My Swiss Roll Affair






After browsing through the lovely swiss rolls by the bloggers, I just had to try my hand on the swiss rolls. It doesn't look so difficult and the ingredients are very simple.... or so I thought! Well, one have to try out before making the judgement. My first attempt was a real disaster....could not managed to roll up, it practically disintegrated before my eyes. The second attempt was not any better, the cake was too hard. Either I messed up with the rolling up or the texture of the cake is not exactly the same as those nice picture posted in the blog. So determined to conquer this quest, I tried out a few more times (phew!!! don't know how many eggs I've wasted). Finally....this is the best result I could come up with. Judge for yourself...how do you rate this?? Made a few selection...coffee penaut butter swiss roll, pandan kaya swiss roll, whipped cream mango swiss roll. Haven't tried out the butter cream yet.

All in all, Swiss Roll may sound easy but it really need some skill and technique. Still not satisfied with my swiss roll. Guess, have to waste some more eggs.......
