Hey guys!

A time for tea time chat, shall we?😏☕️

For the past 5-6 years, I've been sharing baking tutorials on YouTube (I know, that long!??) I can't believe I'm still here. I could continue my passion thanks to your love and support.

In my business, there is one thing I am so scared to do that I have never done before.

It is... to sell my own product. My own special something!


I thought... nobody would buy. I am not good at business...
talking about all the excuses!💨

Can you relate?

Even after people asked me:
"Do you have a book?"
"Do you have a course?"

I've said, "I don't have it now, but I hope to later!".
I was not confident. I thought... maybe later. Just later.

But, do I want to continue this career? YES.
Do I want to show my kids that I go get what I want? YES.

So...

Enough is enough!!

Something popped inside of me this year. I decided I would make it happen.

"The something" might end up being a flop, but I gotta take the first step to learn something. Just like my first YouTube video.

I decided to start by creating something small this year.

So if you are so afraid of something, let's take a baby step together.🐾


Now, will you do me a favor?

In order for me to create something that is actually going to help you in baking, will you answer my quick survey below? (The screenshot of the example on the 2nd image)

This will be extremely helpful for me to know where you are in your baking journey.

You'll get the survey form with the confirmation email once you register for my Newsletter.
In the Newsletter community, you'll get valuable tips, new recipes, and more updates like this.

Answer the survey only:

As an option, add your YouTube handle name somewhere, so that I can recognize you. If you like!😊 I've seen all the familiar names in the comment sections, and it's so nice to know which story belongs to whom.

If you are already a member of the Newsletter and answered the form, thank you, thank you!! Please let me know in the comment section, so that I can say a proper thank you❤️

I went through all of your feedback, and I am SO amazed. Your stories, love for baking... I am learning a lot about you.

Well, enough talking on Friday morning.
I'll let you go now.

I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!

Happy baking,

Aya

P.S. My son turned 1 this month! He was still in my tummy when I shared the red velvet cake tutorial. Time flies! I made a simple shortcake to celebrate🥳 Check out my Instagram to see the photos!

The chocolate macaron tutorial is up!🙌🏻 I'm spilling tips & tricks to make them successful. I'm also answering your macaron question there - drop me one if you have any! https://youtu.be/cbgz5Nqrm6o

Chocolate macarons are slightly harder than regular macarons since the cocoa powder "pops" meringue faster. This can result in very loose macaron batter, flat macaron shells, uneven shapes... etc., more easily.

If you've experienced them before, try this recipe!
Making chocolate macarons using the Italian method is slightly more time-consuming, but you'll be less likely to fail, thanks to the stable and fluffy Italian meringue.

Here are some benefits of making chocolate macarons with Italian meringue:

* The meringue does not quickly get loose after touching cocoa powder - It creates a more stable batter.
* You can add a good amount of cocoa powder (and the meringue can survive better.) - And you can make macaron shells that actually taste like chocolate.
* The surface of the macaron shells is very shiny and smooth.
* It creates thicker macaron shells with nice volume.
* Drying the surface of the macaron batter before baking can be fully omitted or takes less time. (It varies, depending on the oven.)

... and more!

Sounds good?

I'll see you there.😉

P.S. My voice wasn't super clear, and the background noise was loud in some scenes, so I added captions to the video this time. I hope it helps!🙏🏻

A new video is just UP!!!🤗 A complete guide on making the perfect tart crust✨

If you've been following me for some time, you may know I shared a tart crust video years ago.

In this updated tutorial, I included a bunch of new info & tips to hopefully make it a *upgrade*:


- I am sharing how to fit the dough into 4 types of pans and rings - classic pans, rings, perforated rings... and one more new kind that I wanted to test out...🤭 Can you guess what it is? I used it for the first time in the tutorial!

- I am showing the process with a large tart pan and perforated ring also, which I don't think I covered enough in the older video (I used tartlet pans and rings mainly).

- Upon a request, I adjusted the recipe so that you can make the tart dough with just one egg (It used to be 1.5 eggs.) which is enough to make about 2 10-inch tarts. I'll also list the older version in the description!

- Many of you asked if you can make the dough with a food processor. I'm showing how in just about a few minutes!

- Introducing how to roll out the dough on parchment paper. I often do this way whenever I don't want to take time cleaning a table or when I want to chill the rolled-out dough in the fridge straight away.

- Over the past 4 - 5 years, the way I make tart crusts changed slightly here and there to get better results.

- I no longer call bread flour "strong flour". That confused many of you...😅 A huge apology!




... and many more.

I hope you'll enjoy it! (Please let me know if you did🙏🏻) Watch it before making a tart dessert next time to be fully prepared!💪🏻

See you there😉

Aya


P.S. Thank you so much for waiting for the new upload! I am still adjusting to a new lifestyle, but aiming to post more often in the future.
