Sakura Pineapple Balls ~ CNY 2021 ~ 樱花菠萝球
I was mulling over the idea of what type of pineapple tarts to make for this coming Chinese New Year and was thrilled when I came across Audrey Goh’s post in Bake the Talk on FB. A great thank you to you, Audrey. I had some dried Sakura flowers idling in my fridge for the longest time and indeed I was most glad when I saw her pictures of Sakura pineapple tarts. What an inspiration! To make things easy for myself, I just wrapped the balls of dough with the pineapple paste and then happily placed a hydrated flower on top. I only ‘created’ ten Sakura pineapple balls as that was all the flowers I had.
