Release tension by baking?

New experience everyday!


Weird isn't it this topic? But, that's me. Yes..I releasing my tense by baking or cooking. Recently, I met a few frenz at my niece's daughter bday bash. We discuss about this and later i realized that this probably one of the weird way. All this while I thought I baked or cooked because I like it, my pass time or just as a hobby. But now, i realized it is like a therapy for me..mind therapy.


I couldn't explain  why and how..but this practice works for me. The flour, the mixture, the smell, the heat make me feel like I am living in other world. Such a peace and lovely world..too melancholic isn't it? Arghh..this is my blog, remember? 


Could be, I am good in this. Therefore I feel good about it. When you feel good, you wl feel proud of yourself, you feel everything is under control, you can make yourself happy and you can make other happy too. And you can calm yourself........isn't that a good feeling?


Well, now to those anyone that feel miserable, tension or stress do something you feeling good and you can share with me the feeling that I am telling about. Trust me..it's really work........

Birthday Bash AIN BATRISYA

New experience everyday!

Alhamdulillah! At last, we managed to organize the party as what we planned. Especially the birthday cake!

Hehehe. The birthday gal request for purple colour. This time, i used the exact barbie doll. However, I did pull off the legs. It was american chocolate cake and i was using butter cream. The cake not too sweet (infact very rich chocolate!). And to me, the cake + the cream were just fine.

All my family member impressed with this especially my mom, my sis and my nieces. The b'day gal was so excited having this cake. Infact, most of my guests impressed with this. They never thought i baked it my self. Some of them request to 'tapaw!

Well, beside this cake, i baked cuppies. Since the main cake was chocolate flavor, the cuppies i baked were vanilla butter flavor. then, i managed to do my own cuppies tier. save more budget!

I used Nigella recipe. It supposed 24 cups only. But, i hv forgot that i bought smaller cups. Therefore, it was turned double quantity. Since I only have 24 edible images, i decorated the rest with butter cream. My mom doesn't allowed me to decorate too fancy. She afraid adult guests will not eaten it. Probably she's rite coz this time i saw many adults ate it compared the previous time.

On that day, our other menus were chicken soup serve with nasi himpit/ glass noodle a.k.a 'soto', chinese fried rice, curry puffs, chocolate cake (mom's recipe'), grill starchy rice with shrimp filling, dadih (Malaysian yogurt), and some other kuih.

Well, i can say the party quite well organize and i was satisfied. Thanks to those guests that attending the party and thanks for the present. We will see you next time

p/s: I did not manage to prepare the cup cakes for  the goodie bags. Actually, i don't think it is practical.

Royal icing..at last

I always wonder how to make purely snowy white cream. I remeber I hd done it long time ago during my teen age but I just couldnt figure out! Well, last week I as usual watching Nigella episode at Astro 703 channel. Yes..my wish come true. She was teachung the technique to make the cream that I want..Royal Icing!!!! Yes..yes..yes..

The next day, i experiment it. Wallah...

Recipe for Royal Icing

2 white eggs

175gm icing sugar

2 tble spoon lemon/lime juice

method: whisk the white eggs until its fully. Normally the volume become double. Then pour in the icing sugar. Beat it with high speed until it become smooth and a bit thicken. Then pour in lemon/ lime juice. Remember, place the icing when the cake is cold. Do not place it during the cake still warm because the icing will melt. You can also color the icing with food coloring up to your desire.

My Collection Part 5

Both cake I bake for my lil angel 1st bday, Amani Balqis. She turns to 1yr old on 24/11/2009. However, we did the celeb on 5/12/2009. Venue, our lovely home.

Her sis was so excited about all the baking cake activities. I drove her to the bake supplies shop. she did request and ask 1001 things..that was a good moment!

In the beginning, i had no idea what type/ flava to bake. But in my mine i had planned for some blueberry and lemon flava. After preparing all the required ingredient, I have decided to bake butter cake with blueberry filling and orang cake with chocolate lemon filling. FYI, I hv to bake 2 cakes since the eldest will get jealous if she doesnt hv.

It was hectic experience. Chaos in my kitchen. On top of the bday cake, I had also bake some cuppies..why I bake it..no answer for that. I think I just wanna make sure the party turns out with colourful dishes and food to be enjoy.

However, I couldn't figure out why my butter cream not up to my mark at that time. Something goes wrong with the ingredient but I just cant figure it out! It turns out quite sweet and my hubby's uncle did make a comment about it.

For info, each cake weight app around 3-3.5 kg. Well, eventhough quite tiring and my messy kitchen, I do really satisfied with the result. But, I need to polish my decorating skill.

Tips: To those that thinking using pebble chocolates for decoration (M&M/ Smarties), eventually M&M gv more vibrant color. But, is the melamine issue settle? I am not to sure!
