Christmas at Bakerzin 2015: Celebrate with Christmas Bakes & Festive Take-aways

It’s one thing to wish your family and friends a Merry Christmas. But it’s another thing if you can bring the sentiment to the table throughout the meal. Christmas came early for me when the guys from Bakerzin came with delectable Christmas goodies which make merrymaking a warm and wonderful affair.

This year “Home for Christmas” with Bakerzin is all about celebrating this joyous season with family and friends. Bakerzin is proud to introduce its scrumptious range of Christmas bakes and festive take-aways that will add warmth and good cheer to every party.

The Bakerzin team has prepared mouth-watering roasts and wholesome pies that boast hints of local spices and flavours.

Bakerzin has come up with Peranakan Roast Capon ($68). Each bird is marinated for 48 hours with a special Peranakan rempah consisting of shallots, garlic, lemongrass, turmeric, dried chilli, coconut cream, candlenut, cinnamon, tamarind and light seasoning of salt, pepper and sugar. Using capon that weights between 2 to 2.5kg, it is a great alternative to the traditional Christmas turkey and has a taste that is far superior to regular chicken.

It is then roasted to tender perfection. It is attractively bronzed and slightly burned around the edges. A lot of forethought and attention is given to the capon, imbuing them with subtle smokiness to bring out the best in their delicately flavored and juicy meat. Accompanied by roasted potatoes and carrots and a Peranakan sauce, this Singaporean-style Peranakan roast capon that is bound to be a hit at the table!

Bakerzin Shepherd’s Lamb Pie ($48 / approx. 1.5kg) is by far one of the most delightful creations this season. Dig into a filling brimming with chunky minced Australian lamb seasoned with leek, garlic, parsley, tomato paste and chicken stock and topped with mash of pumpkin and sweet potato. The final touch is a generous showering of Cheddar cheese before the pie is baked till golden brown. If lamb is not your thing, go for the Homestyle Chicken Pot Pie ($39 / approx. 1.5kg) instead.

What is Christmas revelry without log cakes? Bakerzin has created an assortment that will go down well at any jolly gathering.

Bakerzin’s Apple Pistachio Yule Log ($70 / approx. 1kg) is one of the most impressive flavours I have tasted this year. This exquisite pistachio dacquoise features several distinct layers that give this cake a lot of texture and flavour. Starting from the bottom up, the foundation is a dacquoise made of ground almonds and pistachio followed by an apple jam with diced version of the fruit and a hint of Smirnoff Green Apple Vodka. This is then tiered with an apple and pistachio mousse before a lovely green chocolate layer encases the whole sweet treat.

For true chocoholics, Santa’s Chocolate Yule Log ($62 / approx. 1kg) is worth every sinful bite. It is a simply divine cake reminiscent of the traditional Yuletide log cake with its chocolate chiffon sponge and coats of tart blackberry jam and a luscious Valrhona chocolate mousse with hazelnut crunch. This sponge is then rolled up and covered with rich chocolate glaze and decorated with fun filled Christmas icons. 

Bakerzin has also prepared a wonderful list of fresh bakes that make perfect gifts for family and friends or as part of your food offerings when visitors get hungry. Pick up several packs of freshly baked Chocolate Biscotti ($12.50 / approx. 200g) dotted with hazelnuts, dried apricot and cherries and slivers of almond. Another great choice is the Orange Biscotti ($12.50 / approx. 200g) redolent with orange peel and zest and crunchy bits of pistachio and hazelnuts. Here’s the deal, you can get any 2 packets of Chocolate Biscotti and/or Orange Biscotti for $22 (U.P. $25).
