the long silence....

This blog has been left deserted for quite some time. And that also means no baking activity takes place since my last post. Workloads piling up, plus the recent long holiday were mainly the reason. To those who has emailed for orders and I said ‘NO’ to such orders, am really sorry for that. Perhaps I’ll try to be extra rajin in the future. And ohh I’ve found ‘something’ new to my interest, which also explains why I put baking as my second priority. Most of my ‘free’ time was spent digging up and collecting more knowledge on that thingy. Interesting sgt to the extent that I can’t even have a proper sleep due to being anxious of waiting what’s gonna happen the next day…dasat seh hehehe.

Anyway this buttercake is meant for an engagement occasion, ordered by my loyal customer, Kak Nor for his brother. Ceremony to be held in Taiping on the upcoming Saturday, so it means this is the farthest my cake is going to be delivered to :p Panic striked all over last night when I couldn’t find the right nozzle for my cake, either misplaced or lost it somewhere ntahla. Lucky I have another one, producing almost similar pattern that I intended to have…lega rasa!
To Kak Nor, thank you for the endless support. Sori if it doesn’t match up to your expectation yer.

Got one impending order for next week…she has emailed to me since a month ago to confirm. Harap2 lepas ni dpt baliklah momentum baking ni hehehe.

M.a.l.a.s. plizzz go away from me!

Adam is 1!

These were ordered by Kak Tie for Adam’s birthday celebration at his nursery, 3x25pcs M cup choc moist, vanilla c.chips and butter vanilla. No theme was specified by Kak Tie, so long as it suits with boys at Adam’s age, that should be ok.

Time flies very fast and today this little boy has turned 1. I still remember kak Tie’s old post saying Adam was one precious gift she ever received since he was born on the mother’s day. Well what more can be asked by a woman, other than a healthy baby boy thru a safe n sound delivery isn’t it?

To Adam, Hepi 1st Birthday to You!
May you grow up healthily, happy and smiling as always :)
Be a good brother to your kakak and abang Iman ok!




Thanx kak Tie!

why baking?

I always received these same questions from my friends...
tak penat ke baking?
bila masa ko buat cake eh?

Well to be honest, baking is indeed tiring. No deny on that okeh, especially when it comes to cleansing all the utensils and kitchen right after u finish baking. I always wish i have a maid who is assigned to do the clean up job (but again that's just a dream far way to become true :p). Back to the questions, i bake simply because i love to do it. I'm happy when people is beaming with joy, after eating my cakes. The satisfaction that i felt is somehow very special in a way that i didn't feel the same thing when i do other things. I stay up late at night to finish the order. At times i wake up at wee hours just to deco the cake (while my other half is sound asleep in lalaland hehe). Despite the frequent interruption by Firas waking up for feeding, i still find it is ok even tho i need to go back n forth - in between the bedroom n kitchen. Further, i can't stop from admiring other baker's works and always wish i could produce the same thing one day. There are many out there, whose jobs are undeniably very cool and creative...after all baking revolves around arts and crafts in most of the way.

Again i venture into this not because of the extra money earned out of it. Brapelah sangat yg saya dpt compare to the efforts put in throughout the whole process, but it's the satisfaction that we're talking about. Considering myself yg memang kaki tido, it is surprising when i slowly learn the fact that i'm willing to forgo my sleeping time (at night) just to bake cakes. How i wish one day i can just sit at home and bake cakes all day long. Forget the 9-5 job, no hassle with the traffic congestion and all. Syok isn't it??? My hubby always threw out the idea of me pursuing phd. Haha ya ampun diriku tak minat! Konfem 5 tahun pon takkan habis :p

elmo lagik :)

This vanilla buttercake cuppies was ordered by my return customer cum neighbour, kak Nor. At first i declined her order, considering am full with earlier orders and other commitment, hence i referred her to my fren Farra. But Farra also couldn't accept her order, as such after much thoughts (dahla anak Kak Nor tgh demam and ngidam nk makan cup cakes) i finally bake this set for his son last night. And bersempena with mother's day this upcoming Sunday kak nor requested to put the mother's day wording on the cuppies.



Somehow i feel happy since i knew lots of people out there can't wait to celebrate the mother's day with their moms. Myself feels super excited as well (since i already planned for a surprise gift for my mom). My family will gather at my house tis sunday, and i've been thinking of baking a special cake for my mom but not sure whether i have enough time to do it. Silap haribulan last minute i'll resort to secret recipe jer kots hohoho

anyway kak Nor, thanx for the repeat order okeh...an advance Hepi Mother's Day to u :p
