I wanted to try baking pineapple tarts for CNY this year and thought I should try doing some cute designs. I searched the cutters I have in my cupboard and thought this teddy bear would do...
I used Bake King pineapple jam and would recommend this to anyone baking pineapple tarts, it tasted great! Being my first time, I omitted sugar from the recipe and my tarts turned out a little dry and bland.
An idea then struck me while having lunch with Wen.
I thought maybe I should try making bunnies since it is the year of the Rabbit! I would only need eyes and the ears. I tried them out over the weekend, got leftover sesame seeds from my x'mas celebration and got some nice sunflower seeds to prepare the ears. Thanks to Wen, he had helped to shell the nuts, though while watching TV!
Lots of hard work on the making of pineapple tarts. First the dough has to be prepared and rested for hours (or overnight), then moulding of the pineapple jams, moulding the dough and jam into a round ball, stick on the sesame seeds, and next the shelled nuts. That's repeated almost 60times!

And off to the oven they stood.
After a good 20-30mins...
I was really glad how they turned out!
CUTE!!
So cute I couldn't bear to eat them.
The only problem... my testers felt they look more like rats than rabbits!!
Urghh..!!
My Mum like it alot!!!
