If you don't know or get custard powder, use store bought ready made caramel custard. Heat it up and stir in a bit of flour mixed with bit of milk to thicken. If you don't get this either, use caramel condensed milk instead. This looks hard to make, but were actually very easy


This looks delicious, beautiful and impressive, Liezel. I'm saving this to try...yumm. Thanks so much! Great photo...


Great instructive photos, they really help envision your creation!



Wow, this looks AWESOME!


This deserves a drum roll!


That looks good and must be interesting to make.


WOW!


They say that the right side of the brain is responsible of the creation...I think that your both sides are responsible.Thank you Liezel for the introduction.


Guess what our visitors are having for desert on Sunday! Thanks Liezel.
