My First Red Red Velvet

Happy Birthday Darling Dalilah!

Since Dalilah's birthday was in the middle of the week, I had to do this cake in 'instalments'. Firstly, I bought the ingredients bit by bit the week before, measured the ingredients and sifted the dry ingredients on Saturday, baked the cake on Sunday and lastly, made the icing and decorated the cake on Tuesday.

Phew!

It's okay, I enjoyed it tremendously! I love trying new cakes especially when there is an occasion where I can try it (without much risk *smile*). Thanks to my dear cousin for the great recipe. I peeped here too for additional tips (thanks Min *smile*).

Here's the precious cake for a precious girl!

The red velvet, perching on Dalilah's study table...

A shot from another angle... it's quite a challenge to do this wavy design
(instead of a smooth and clean design)... surprise, surprise!

Aha, a rare gem... a picture of my cake, after it was cut...
I managed to do a 2-layer only...

Darling Dalilah, celebrating with some of her close friends... after
Puteri Islam co-curriculum activity (can see her Puteri Islam t-shirt *smile*)...

May Allah bless you always, my little darling girl!

We love you very much!

We Are Friends Forever

It was great meeting old friends again especially those that you have not met for more than 20 years!

This carrot-orange-cupcakes-set was specially, lovingly made for the get-together at Subang Bestari. Thanks Jah for the venue, the delicious nasi dagang and the goodies.

Carrot orange cupcakes with buttercheese topping. It is easier to do a smooth topping compared to this 'wavy' design....

The cupcakes before the topping. I pricked the cupcakes with a toothpick and poured carrot+orange juice on the cakes to get tastier, yummier cakes. So yummy! Thanks Kak Zaleha for the recipe....

This is one on the pics at the event, which I stole from fb :). The half-finished cupcakes on the left, 'sitting' near a delicious carrot-walnut cake brought by Yan all the way from Pekan, Pahang. The other cake (ready-cut) is a butter cake with blueberry filling brought by Ita.

Indeed, it was a fun-filled gathering with lovely friends. Thanks Jah, Shada, Yan, Ita, Nin, Sham, Nora, Riz, Za and Ju for the friendship and for being there. For the rest who were not able to attend, we miss you. Hope we can meet again in the near future!

Luv u all!

Happy Birthday Az-Zahrah

Az-Zahrah deserves a tasty chocolate moist cake for her endurance and spunk.

This spunky girl is only one-year-old, but has endured 3 operations on her tiny feet, including 1 botched operation. Yet, she can still smiling and our heart warmed when we saw her.

a Ben Ten decorated cake (again!) with colorful candies....
I love doing this decoration...

Happy Birthday, darling Az-Zahrah....

You are so lucky to have a loving and caring grand-aunt... Auntie Bird.

Thanks Auntie Bird... you know who you are....

Syahirah's Birthday and Thanksgiving kenduri

This is the undecorated cupcakes. This time I'm trying butter cheese cake. Not so sweet.
Seems that this flavour is quite a favourite among my family.

Happy Belated Birthday Shira/ Shahirah!
Congratulations to Aqlie for being accepted to Sekolah Alam Shah, Putrajaya.
Both are cousins and they are two of my numerous nieces and nephews.

This time I'm trying to do other designs apart from the 'flower & girlish' designs...

The cake and cupcakes at the occasion, my MIL's house. The chocolate moist cake is by Secret Recipe, the cupcakes are from yours truly...

This is the birthday girl cutting the cake. You go, girl!
