Salam All.....

Its the 18th day of Syawal.... I wanted to upload several pics regarding Aidilfitri but something had been really wrong.... i seem to be unable to upload my blog... i wonder why :(

Anyway, last Aidilfitri, i baked 2 cakes for an uncle who wanted to make "kepalak meja"which roughly translates as "head of the table"... LOL....

This "kepalak meja" is actually a whole cake put on your table on 1st day of Syawal and not to be eaten untill after the 7th day of Syawal...it can only be cut on the 7th day of Syawal. So, in the mean time, guests are served with other cakes and delicacies. im totally clueless on why the oldies did this... hahhahaha...Its a tradition being carried out until the late 80s i think because i've havent seen this tradition all my life. hehehhe

As I've mentioned, my uncle ordered 2 cakes (mind you that in the old days the "kepalak meja"is usually steamed cakes/ layer cakes. no fondant as what i did for my uncle... hehe).

The first cake was for himself at his own house whilst the other was for his lawyer son who will be having many VIPs coming for raya visiting. (again, mind you, my uncle is a bit of a show off... but i still love him)

For his son, who is also my cousin, I decorated his cake with something simple minus the figurines... It took me hours to carve the SELAMAT HARI RAYA from black fondant. But overall finish was not bad *to me lah.*

My dear uncle is a joker and is dear to my family. He can talk and tell u stories for hours or till u dozed off... hahahha....His wife is a sweet lady and is very fair...

For his cake, i decided to make two figurines of them... atok and nenek... both giving out duit raya :)

Total time for me to decorate both cakes is almost 24 hours non-stop *padan muka tak ready figurines awal2*... but, i love the outcome of both cakes....

Till next post....

TATA :)

birds and the bees

ok2, as in my last post, i mentioned having mood swings and cake decorating cured it... welll.... i present to you my latest work.. mama so proud of dis cake :)

this cake is an 8 inch white cake with choc fudge frosting in the middle. dirty iced with buttercream before covering with fondant icing.

cake was decorated with grassess, daisies, ladybugs, bees and snails. its a garden theme. and of course the two couple snuggling together... aaahhhh... beautiful :D

this cake was supposed to have a bicycle as i want to follow their pre-wedding pic but i cant think of any way to make a bicycle out of gumpaste in our malaysia humid weather. Also, aunty bibi had helped me purchase the smallest bicycle she can find but its still too large for this cake.

ah welll... maybe next cake.

as the bride is busy n hectic with her say, i didnt get to ask her opinion on this cake. i just saw her smiling at it. hope she like it. anyway, CONGRATS ITY & RYZY on their wedding. may love carry them through this rough sea of marriage (chewah! hahahhaha)

cupcakes....cupcakess

Morning all!!! its 9.30am on a Tuesday and I'm in the office with my in-tray full and work table looked like a hurricane had been passing thru... i need to call my working mojo spirit..

therefore, i need to think to take a breather and think of nice stuff like BAKING!

last week i baked two order of choc cupcakes for an engagement hantaran and for a birthday surprise. both order is thru from my dear good friend Madam Norazaliza Othman. The funny thing is we share the same name! (errr...almost )

Above is the cake for Izzah's engagement.. 30 pcs of choc cupcake with fondant deco tops with 2 figurines. Since I've been itching to try making some gumpaste flowers, i made 7 frangipanis. but one got chipped off while arranging them on the cake board.

aint they cute.... aaahhh... happiness...hhehe...

well... gotta meet the boss now. till next post!
