This is in fact my first attempt at Halloweens..mighty pleased with myself..pppppuuuurrrr...pppppuuuuurrrrr..



Take care and have a great Deepavali to all the Indians and enjoy a long break to the rest..

PRESENT FOR OPEN HOUSE

Hi again,

Sorry for making you go crazy when reading my blog. I have not been on the blog for a long while so I forget what I have logged in my phone. Suddenly some pictures are left out so I got to came and put it on the blog.

Made these for two open house that I have attended on the same day..one in Kajang and the other in KL..I have through trial and error found how to modify the icing to make it look good and taste with less sugar..and the icing is super soft and very inviting.. they are moist chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting and chocolate drizzle..this is the inspiration for this week's delivery to the Kopitiam.




This one is for a close friend's kids. Also another open house that my hubby and I attended together..very colorful keeping in mind it is meant for the kiddies..


You can order some if you think you'd like to eat them or send them as presents at open houses..I am glad to assist you. with minimum order of 12 pieces per order excluding delivery.

Kopitiam this week

Hi all,

This week supply to Kopitiam is as follows:

Mini Vanilla cupcakes with pastel colored vanilla buttercream icing on top..this was a revival of what I have done earlier. It seems that it was not a hit but when I asked the owner today, most of it was sold except for the chocolates ones below is slow..believe it or not????


Devils food chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate drizzle..I also sent some with chocolate chips intead of drizzle.
I have tried the chocolate, not to be missed... Normally I am not a chocolate cake lover but this one beats almost all..(at least I think so for now).

HANTARANS FOR MERISIK AND WEDDING

Hi again,


This was an order requested by one customer for his merisik occassion sometime ago. Oh god I am getting to be very forgetful myself. The request was to put the cupcakes in a square and do a a red heart design in the middle. The end result is like below and I just gave him a simple box with ribbons on it. Should have put red ribbons instead now when I look at it again..

This is for a friends nieces' wedding in Trengganu. I hope the cupcakes survived the journey. The mum wanted a burgundy coloured flowered theme and gold trimming with white base. Well everything else was easy except for the flowers and gold trimmings. I was kept up for a few days on how I want to stick sugared flowers and gold whatever on it, with it and what can compliment it. Alas, I do not have much time and it has always been raining everyday, it makes it more difficult for me to get out of the house. Ha..at last this is what I did for her.. what do you think??
I also packed it in this box for her to do her own decorations beside what I have done for her. I really hope the cake survived the journey to Trengganu..

Thanks to both of them for their orders and trust in me to do the cupcakes for them.. :)

TTFN..tata for now..

BACK IN PLAY..

Hi all,

Have not been able to get into the blog for a while now since moving to my new house. It seems that streamyx is overloaded with customers in my area. We have to wait till they get enough to start another what have you..that's the explanation I got anyway..waste of time in getting my phone line and cannot get streamyx..huh.huh..huhh..

Anyway, I have been quite busy with my normal deliveries to my regular Kopitiam and orders from friends. Thanks for their support .. :p

Raya is almost over now..been to many open houses and been like eating non stop. Not good for all of us as we keep up the eating at home too..hubby has been under the weather because of too much red meat, carbohydrates, sea food and sugar!!! I put on what I lost during the puasa month in a jiffy ..oh it is just so unfair..

This is my attempt at making some Raya biscuits..follow Auntie Yochana's recipe.. quite good.

This one is called Ebony and Ivory biscuits.

This one is a modified recipe with rice bubbles. Children loved it because of the crispy rice bubbles and most importantly the chocolate drizzle.
For Raya since we moved house we decided to just have Raya breakfast and celebrate Raya with my father in law in Bangsar. He is already 83 years old going 84 ..very resilient old man, I think his state of health is better than any of us but I feel sorry for him as his memory bank is sort of shutting down on him. He forgets...The whole gang was there together to celebrate Raya with the old man..My niece Fatihah decided on Mee Hoon Soup Kedah for Raya beside the normal rendang and stuff..that's my yearly special if we celebrate at home. It was definitely a treat not for the guest but more for us..hehehe..kuat makan...

The first week of Raya saw us visiting our elder uncles and aunties. More eating..convoy in four cars and visited our Uncle Majid and family on Sunday if I am not mistaken. His was a sought after house for eating good home made food as our Auntie Selina is a very good cook. She served all the Raya stuff like lemang and rendang, ayam masak kicap for the kids, oh now it seems to slipped from my mind what other things were on the table but it was a spread uhmm uhmm..Lastly after that sumptous food we moved on to the cakes and biscuits..My compliments to Norma for making a really nice carrot cake with cheese frosting..sedap bangat..I pun without further ado..can I have the recipe please..please..with reluctance she volunteered her recipe to me. Ha..immediately the next day I made some in cupcake cases as below:

This is my second attempt and I add walnuts and raisins as the recipe does not include them. I also modify the topping and add toasted walnuts on top too. My kids love it very much. Many thanks to Norma.. :)
