and the birthday boy didn't get to eat his cake :P
NO CAKE for the birthday boy!
Instead, I baked him Custard Cream Horns, because every boys and girls must have something sinfully rich, sweet and creamy for their birthdays, right?
Custard Cream horns popped up in one of our conversations sometimes ago (...errr like many years ago... insert 'embarrassed' emoticon here).
Our 'reminisced - Do you remember?' conversation always started with food but not necessarily end up having food that we 'reminisced' about!
Took me years, from just talk to actually sink my teeth and bite into these Custard cream horns.
Custard cream horns were one of those baked goods that I would drool over whenever I passed by a bakery shop in my hometown.
Kids being kids... the creamiest... the sweetest and the prettiest bake on display will always attract their attention, and most of time, I had no spare change to grab one.
I spent it all during recess in school. I definitely would be in hot soup if I were to ask for extra from my parents.
Sorry babe,
I hijacked your story :)
Today's post supposed to be about YOU!!!
where was I?
Oh Yeah! we were reminiscing about Custard Cream Horn, and I thought, it'll be a good idea to bake some instead of a birthday cake, for your 5* birthday.
After all, we are getting older, we don't need those 'access baggage' around our waist (now that you have lost almost of yours 'clap! clap! clap!).
Its easy to gain but its an uphill battle to lose! I am the living-walking proof
Anyway I hope that you enjoyed your birthday Custard Cream Horns and had fun blowing that 'many bunched up' candles that nearly singed your stubbles
These cream horns shells are then baked till crisps and golden in colour.
They are then filled with cream or custard and serve as dessert.
It is sometimes known as Italian cream horns.
1) First and foremost, cut up the store-bought puff pastry into 12 long strips.
Wind the puff pastry strips around the mould and bake to perfection.
Leave it to completely cool before filling these horns.
2) I chose to fill up my horns with custard first and top up with cream.
The custard filled cream horns are the ones I used to have since I was a child.
3) Top up with whipped cream
4) Sprinkle some icing sugar and serve.
It is that simple to make cream horns, right?
These cream horns can be kept in the refrigerator for at least a day.
Do note that the puff pastry do get soggy after 24 hours, once filled!
It is not recommended to keep them for more than 24 hours.
I have yet to learn the secret of keeping them crisp for longer than a day!
