This was my first time working with ube extract, and DANG is that stuff strong!
I was incredibly amused to find that when I wiped up some spilled extract with a damp paper towel, it did the same kind of chromatography as my fountain pen inks.
It's so pretty! I couldn't quite get it to show up right but I did my best to tweak it a little - the actual color is that vibrant shade of purple the camera can never quite capture.

Today's big project was making myself a crepe cake for my birthday. But not just any crepe cake--a gluten free crepe cake with ube crème pâtissière and butterfly pea flower whipped cream.
I have the first stage done, the crepes are stacked with the crème pâtissière (which is delicious) and chilling overnight. Tomorrow I'll finish up with the whipped cream.
