Tdy is the 1st day of a brand new weekend again except it is going to be exceptionally short this time with Hari Raya Puasa falls on Friday! thats would means Holiday for all of us!

I had been busy baking non stop over the weekend till i was utterly exhausted! damn.... but then i am glad the final product won many praise....

The thought of setting up part time has been harbouring my mind for quite some time.. i aint doing this for money ( since i am working full time) but for the Passion and Interest! .The amazing designs of sugarcraft which i have learnt during the Wilton Cake Decorating Course and sugarcraft magazine has spurred me to start practicing on what i have learnt... no doubt it will be pretty time consuming. but the end products are defineity astonishing!

 I have told my Hubby ( aka Mr Baker) of it and he is supportive of the idea and called me to quickly settle down a webby and start transfering all my best product over to there.. I (as Mrs Baker) has been hestiating as setting up a webby isnt easy as ABC! i have to design the webby and then getting best shots out of my final products.. OMG... its alot of hardwork and aint easy in doing all these alone..  Beside i have NO IDEA on how to design a website like others...  So, this will be a real battling within myself.. should i go ahead or not?

My bestie's wedding is just around the corner..and if i am serious in starting the line, i should start practicing now and 'pubiclize' through my bestie's wedding.. should i do it? i am still considering...

Foundation Baking Starts Here~~ Finale Class

Last week was the finale class for the foundation baking. as usual all of us were busy baking and washing. we learnt abit more during the finale class which is cake decorating through black forest cake. Hubby was saying it taste pretty good and i am now looking forward to signing up the intemediate class which will be next year.

I have not be loathing around either. Have been busying baking chiffons, butter cakes, swiss rolls since in order to 'perfect' the skill. hope i will start up a part time buz one day to share my passion and interest!


There are so many stuff to learn with limited time and i hope my determination and strong will make me focus on....

Foundation Baking Starts Here part 3~~

I have been waiting for this lesson 3 excitedly. Heres one of the 'attraction' for today. Tiger roll! The chief compliment ours the nicest tiger roll in class! Roar Roar!!

Will i bake this often? dont think so as the tiger roll skin calls for 10 yolk alone!

This will only be baked upon request only. hehe.

oh yah, something to share. this is a very nice and fragrant strawberry filling. i will be getting a big tube for all my swiss roll and cakes filling.. hahaha.. this will be a 'change' apart from using chocolate buttercream :)

Foundation Baking starts here Part 2~~

My baking buddy and i were looking forward to 2nd lesson which is all about chiffons..  I enjoyed the 2nd lesson more than lesson 1. probably cos of lesser washing. i remembered i smelt of Butter after the 1st class! its the 1st time i felt smelly also.. haha .

We have baked pandan, banana and citrus chiffon cake. n which one we like best????

Citrus Chiffon Cake ( refreshing orange mixed with lemon zest) followed by Banana.

Foundation Baking starts here Part 1~~

Finally after 2 months of waiting, the foundation baking course i have signed up for has come. During the 1st lesson, it was really damn pack and i was informed that there is 32 students. and guess what, my baking buddy told me only last row available when she reached the class at 12.40. kiasu right!!!!

What to do, my baking buddy and i decided to reach class earlier at 12.30 for lesson 2 in order to grab the seats in front! hiak hiak hiak...

On the 1st lesson, we have baked a few types of butter cakes such as marble butter cake, walnut cake and chocolate cupcake. out of which, walnut cake win the best! its not sweet and light texture. Thumbs up!

P/S: i am unable to share the recipe from the class i have learnt. if u are keen to try out, drop me a mail. i will be glad to bake some for you to sample :)

Decorated Cookies!

Recently found out that there seems to be a 'craze' about decorated cookie. so i decide to bake some and try it on my own. I was really tempt to sign up the course at BIY but after baking myself, i am glad that i did not!

Taste: the cookie is rich in buttery taste and i have reduce the sugar since i am going to decorate it..

Remark: i wont try decorated cookie again. My hubby commented that the icing is too sweet (this is despite i add in almost 1 tbsp of lemon and 1tsp lemon zest). The icing i use has a faint lemon zest smell but then the big CON is too sweet la!~
