Best Wishes To Kak Long & Ijal

I can't wait to use this new 'gadget' that I got from my SIL, a souvenir from her trip to Orlando recently... a Wilton Cake Leveler. Wow!

the cake leveler, thanks a lot Sis!

used the cake leveler to slice the cake into three - the butter chocolate cake, which is
a new recipe from my sister; thanks Sis!

here's the iced 3-layer cake - chocolate buttercream icing

ta-da! the finished decorated cake for Kak Long & Ijal

Congratulations Kak Long! A new doctor is in the making!

Happy Birthday Ijal! May Allah bless you!

Happy Eid Mubarak 2009

It's Eid Mubarak again! Time flies very fast nowadays, I found it very hard to catch up and update my baking projects here. I 'm keeping a lot of my projects since the last post. Hopefully I'll be able to update it all soon!

I'd better start with my latest 'babies', chocolate moist cake, simply decorated using ganache and chocolate rice, and.... ta-ra!... my first ever pandan-layered cake. The first is for Kak Eton, who ordered it for this festive season and the pandan-layered is for my beloved MIL.

My own mom? Sorry mom, no cakes for you this time. You must have enough cakes from your other daughter and your DIL!

Last but not least, Happy Eid Mubarak for all Muslims, my brothers and sisters from wherever you are...

My first project

This is it!

After months of contemplating, at last, on this second day of Muharam 1430H, as my new year resolution, I start my new blog on my culinary experience, my new hobby. I found that creative projects, such as cake decorations, give me a lot of satisfaction.

Let's see some of my attempts on cake decorations....

This is the raya cake I brought to my in-laws' during the recent Hari Raya. Butter cheese cake with cream cheese frosting. The writings were done using chocolate ganache.


Chocolate moist cake with chocolate ganache frosting. I used buttercream icing for the writings. This cake was brought for house warming kenduri at my brother-in-law's new house.

(Needs more practise with my handwriting...:))

This cake is brought to the 2-in-1 celebration at my brother's house; Raya Open House and my nephews' birthday. The ganache needed to be improved. Too runny!
This is my 'testing' cake b4 I made the ...err...'real' thing!
