CNY fondant cupcakes...新年小蛋糕




I saw this auspicious cupcakes just before Chinese New Year in Ann's blog. Then later I saw a whole Chinese New Year fondant cake in Sonia's blog. 

I like fondant very much. It gives the cake a very clean, neat and pretty look. Don't you feel the same way too? :p

Have some left over fondant after making a set of birthday cake for a friend's 80 years old father. It is a 8" sponge cake with non dairy whipped cream frosting and a 12 pieces of cupcakes with fondant decorations. I will share this soon.

Back to my Chinese New Year cupcakes. I make chocolate cupcakes this time. I love the aroma of this chocolate powder very much. I would like to thanks Crystal from 厨房找快乐 for sending this wonderful chocolate powder and some　lovely gifts to me（谢谢你水晶妹妹）



This chocolate cupcakes are very nice to eat with a coffee or tea.
I love the blend of chocolate powder with the orange zest, it is so flavourful..:D

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well， Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢？？  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
