Susanne (instagram): I came from an biomedical research background and gave up my work to become a sahm to look after my children. Through some wonderful mummy friends, I picked up an interest in chiffon cakes and found my second spring! On my birthday 2 years back, I got bored and had the sudden inspiration to apply the idea of patterning to chiffon cakes. The first creative chiffon cake Sakura Matcha was born! This was followed by the creation of Christmas trees chiffon cake pops a week later.
Patterned chiffon cakes and Chiffon cakepops/cupcakes
Before December 2013, the only type of chiffon cakes you probably see were plain donut shaped ones, at most covered and decorated with cream, zebra patterned or layered. The only type of chiffon cupcakes you see would be Hokkaido chiffon cupcakes baked in dainty paper cups and decorated with cream and fruits or sprinkles. Chiffon cakepops were unheard of.
On the other hand, the cakes/cupcakes/cakepops often seen in shops are often loaded with lots of sugar, covered in fondant or cream, and have textures that are heavy (or even hard in the case of cakepops).
The patterned chiffon cakes and creative chiffon cakepops/cupcakes 'invented' here are both exciting in appearance as well as soft, fluffy and not sickeningly sweet in taste. The chiffon cakes come in various patterns and some even have hidden surprises in them! Our blog features various animal and fruit-shaped chiffon cupcakes/cakepops that are often too cute to be eaten!
Why love chiffon cakes
If you think that all cakes are loaded with tonnes of sugar and fat, and leave you feeling "jelat" after eating a slice, you have probably not tried good chiffon cakes before! Good chiffon cakes are moist, light, full of flavour and you can't stop at one slice. You won't feel too guilty about having more than a slice as these cakes are lower in calories than, say, pound cakes. We love chiffons because of their lightness and the fact that they can come in a myriad of different flavors, including savory ones!
Most of the recipes herer make use of healthier oil like canola, less sugar from original recipes, and less flour to keep our cakes light and moist. Natural flavours (like tea or orange zest) are used as much as possible to keep the cakes healthy.
