Mille Crepe Cake

Just back from the temple. Will be going back there again on Saturday for the Buka Puasa event organised for the Visually and Hearing Impaired. Grateful to my friend who asked me to join them in their volunteer work. You'ld be amazed at how many people who are actually so willing to get out there and volunteer, regardless at the animal shelter, temple or the orphanage. It gives me that satisfaction to know that not all hope is lost with this world. :)

Anyway, I want to share another cake that I made today. The maid is gone, so I had to do all the washing up and trust me, it aint easy. Ugh, reminder not to use so much butter and oil in future 'cause it's such a pain to wash stuff with oil and grease!!! haha. I made a Mille Crepe Cake. Have loved this cake from the first time I ever tried it at Kafe Indulge. Thus far, I know of three places that offer this delightful cake.

1. Kafe Indulge, Kuchai Lama

2. Nadeje, Melaka

3. Food Foundry, S17

I would say Nadeje is the best among the three because of it's wide selection of Mille Crepe cakes. They specialise only in Mille Crepe cakes, and that only. Will definitely go back there the next time I am in Malacca. I was in awe with how creative they were.. there was even a Mille Crepe cake covered with meringue or something?! Second would go to Food Foundry, only because I havent been to Kafe Indulge for a long time. Cant really compare between these two. Kafe Indulge will always have a sentimental value to me, and well, Food Foundry is much more convenient for me since it's just 10 minutes away from home. So yea, both are equally good.

And now, for MY Mille Crepe cake. Wait for it.... hehe. But dont laugh!

Tadaaa...! Homemade Mille Crepe cake, by me. I feel so proud because this is the second time I am making this and it can be considered a success. Only mistake I made was that I was too generous with the cream so some of the crepes were sliding off. But that asides, the taste of the cream, and thickness (or rather, thinness) of the crepe was just right.

Anyone who wants to try making this special cake should try the recipe from DESSaRTS. It definitely did not let me down. I cant recall where I got my first recipe attempt for this cake but the crepe that time was disappointing. It was too thick in the centre and when the thickness accumulated it resulted in a dome shaped cake. *Disappointed much* This time round, I perfected the crepe part!! :D This is an awesome cake.. I'm going to try to make this cake again pretty soon.
