#confection

Went online and found out the bakery had a pop-up stall at Ang Mo Kio Hub until this Sunday, so I rushed down and grabbed a 6-inch Yam Cake 🥔🍰 (芋头蛋糕) for S$30.50 which is on the expensive side. Appearance wise, the plain Jane cake only had the yam 🥔 frosting to show for, no decorations at all. When I took the first bite, it is no frosting but real yam paste with bits of the actual tuber mixed in. The sponge cake 🍰 is fluffy soft, and the earthy taro paste is both creamy and fragrant inviting me to carry on eating it. 😋 I will be buying the other flavours so come check this blog often.

Parisian Chocolate Cake from Porto's Bakery

This delicious moist cake is a constant favorite. Composed of a smooth chocolate mousse layer with Porto's famous whipped chocolate ganache on top. Crispy pearls made of dark and white chocolate were used to finish. A heavenly creation. Life is too short not to indulge in the rich, decadent flavors from time to time.

After Eight

in ‘Confection’ when you realise an outtake was actually an edit point!

One of my favourite Masterpiece PBS behind the scenes features for Season 6 is 'Endeavour, Season 6: The Cast on Shaun Evans as Director' [x], mostly because of all the outtakes where Shaun is flashing that fantastic smile!

At about the 1min 20sec mark, there's a wonderful outtake from 'Confection' when Shaun looks at Anton Lesser and breaks up. If you run the outtake directly after the actual scene, however...

...the frames match exactly!

How lovely to think that at the end of any given scene, no matter how dark, that they all could have laughed! In this scene DeBryn is telling Bright and Endeavour about the bullet that killed Fancy!
