My first baking experience

The title must have shocked most of u who know me, ay?
U can rub your eyes a million times, but u didn't read it wrong.
Yes i've stepped foot in the world of baking.
My sister's influence? Most probably.
Since she has been baking non-stop ever since she came back from Singapore
It has been that way ever since she went to Singapore. Most probably it's cos she don't have an oven over there or something. Training her bakery skills for her future.
Mwahahaha.
Anyways, i started off with the easiest thing to do ;  
Meringues
Not bad-lah.. right?
followed the recipe Jamie Oliver gave me
(through his show :P )


Watch my bakery skills blossom..!!



It's actually quite easy, just whipped egg whites (ooooh healthy healthy) + salt + sugar.
It looked sooo easy when Jamie Oliver made it, so i thought of giving it a shot.


The result is okay-lah.. riiiiight?
right?
Actually, meringues can be done in small small lumps (if u prefer crunchy type) or one big lump, like how i did it (if u prefer chewy type).


a little extra topping.
[ it looked SO different from how Jamie Oliver did it. Lol. Cos his recipe of the topping has chocolate + orange juice and zest + crushed hazelnuts + alot of other yummy stuff. I only had chocolate and raisins, so i improvised ]

Gimme a little word of encouragement instead of criticizing it, will ya?
