Baking Day :)

Strawberry Crumble Pie! Don't the strawberries look so good?! They were little tiny baby strawberries locally picked. They were all so sweet but ripening so fast so I decided to use it all into a pie :)


This is the finished product. I didn't get to try it yet. I'm bringing it over to a friend's house tomorrow because she invited me and my sister over for lunch. Hopefully it tastes good :P They recently got a dog! I'm excited to meet her :D


I also attempted at making Chinese Pineapple Buns. It turned out alright, though I think the bread could've been a bit more fluffy. I guess this recipe was probably also a Chinese recipe (duh!) and everything is already lightly sweetened. For the top crust part, I put half sugar of what the recipe called for since this is what I do for all recipes normally and they still come out sweet. But for this recipe, I should've put the full amount. It's not sweet enough on the top so it's missing the kick to it.


I'm debating whether to attempt at these again. Maybe on a day where I feel like cooking a lot. It takes way too long to make them. You have to wait an hour and a half for it to rise, punch the dough back down, wait another hour and a half, separate them into smaller buns and then wait another 45 minutes before putting on the crust and throwing them in the oven. I wonder how people make it in Hong Kong or Toronto even. They have it ready for 6am in the morning when people have breakfast. There's no way they start baking at 2am -_-
