I went grocery shopping today. I walked past a stand with profiteroles on display a few times and just as I headed to the cashier, I decided to grab some. They were delicious!!
The pastry was so soft and fresh, the custard inside was light and not overly sweet, and there was a generous amount of chocolate on top of each one. Yum!! They were a hit with Mum and Jocelyn too.Although I have a birthday to go to tonight, I hadn't eaten anything besides the two profiteroles since I woke up so I quickly made some pasta before heading out.

There was heaps of food on the table and Hoa was busy in the kitchen with her friends preparing all the hot finger foods.
Everyone loved prawns - I forgot to ask her what she used to marinate them with. There were beef and vegetable skewers, prawn skewers, spinach and cheese puffs, spring rolls and nori rolls. Just as I was getting full, all the 'main course' dishes came out. I was horrified - I was too full to eat anymore!! Yet I still managed some roast lamb, mashed potato and gravy and broccoli.There was so much food, and so many leftovers.
The cake looked untouchable. There were bite-size pieces of violet crumble covering the top and around the sides were slabs of chocolate. They looked as if they'd been made by pouring chocolate over bubblewrap. Or they were pieces of lego.
The question on everyone's mind was how the cake was going to be cut, short of a power saw. Hoa did a really good job with a cleaver ha ha!
Looking back on this photo, I can't believe I ate it all. I had a small piece of the cake, lots of the chocolate, a piece of the violet crumble, and a spoonful of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and the cookies and cream ice cream. Yes, that's right. I ate it all.
Ok, maybe I can get him to smile later...
