Rainbow Swiss Roll

Life is full of colours! Don't you agree? There are lots of ups and downs, happy and sad saperations, reunites....etc etc..;) There are lots of "happenings" around me this year. Good friends around, surprises and lots and lots of fun! Though there are few sad moments but we just have to face it. Take it happily since those 'sad' moments already exist...:)
Went for my medical check up yesterday, but the result was not what i expected...:(
Anyway, i'll except whatever comes to me happily...always tell myself, "I'm blessed"..:)

Okay, back to my kitchen, i'm not going to let anything to ruin my baking interest, hee hee! Here's something that i think will cheer me up!

  3. I m going to try this one soon. My previous attempt for swiss roll failed. The base of the cake was so hard as a slab of rubber. lol. I didnt whisk egg whites and egg yolk separately. Could it be due to this? Anyway,Thanks for sharing.

  4. Hey Evy, sorry for the late reply...;p
    I juz got home yest night fr a trip, and there was lots of things to settle before i check on my mail....
    Yes, you should beat the eggs separately, and becareful not to over beat the egg whites, it can cause the cake harden too..:)
