I tried baking cheese cake using the oven. It came out flat! Reason because I didn't buy a good mixer and it couldn't beat so well. My friends paid almost S$1000 for their mixer which I wasn't willing to invest in. See, even my cheap mixer has become a white elephant for almost 2 years.

Chances are it is not the mixer, maybe brand of cheese, other ingredients, recipe etc. I don't have a $1K mixer, just a normal $50 Philips Mixer and I baked a very rich and sinful cheese cake the other day, so don't blame the mixer.

Really? Huh... then it's a consolation to me. I thought I won't be able to bake nice cakes without a good mixer... I think I used Philadelphia cheese. Can't remember and I think I have also misplaced my baking book. Anyway, I just bought another new baking book few weeks ago, so maybe I should try baking cakes after CNY.

So try in the breadmaker then maybe it comes out in better shape

Huh? how to bake cheese cake in a breadmaker? You mean dump all the ingredients in the pan like other cake recipes? Have you tried?

Happy Mama:

Ok thanks 25hourmaid. Will either drop by library, or maybe can try searching online too...

Yeah, online is also another method, don't even have to leave the house, but problem with online is that you must have a rough idea of what you are searching for, whereas for library books, you can flip the whole book and zap online those that appeal to you.

Ya, that's true... anyway, thanks I'll try both if I have the time.

So what are you going to bake next? I have yet to try my wholemeal loaf. I need to think of interesting bread to bake for my daughter. She seems to have gotten bored with the few varieties that I baked.

I wanna try wholemeal as well but too scared if it turns out to be bad... maybe another cake

Ya, wholemeal's a little tricky... but autumnbronze's 2nd wholemeal loaf looked really yummy! :drool:

[Happy Mama]

Oh yes, I want to try French Loaf too. DH will love to have it with Curry!

why dont you try cheese cake :idea:

I have a cheap mixer and I bake cakes fine.
