i decided to make the decorations for my aunt's farewell party the next day of baking... .. i had everything planned out. ill leave the office at around 11am and decorate the cuppies...

but guess wad happen, A TSUNAMI OF WORKLOAD crashed over me at the office. i could only leave the office at 1.30pm!!!! only 3and 1/2 hours before the party....

thus, quickly, i made the buttercream icing and swirl simple design. but my buttercream isn't enough to cover all 30 cuppies ... DISASTER!

quick thinking and voila! i decided to decorate with the buttercream itself. i piped simple flower pattern on the cuppies (the kids would not realize the effort i made anyway. they'll be too busy licking of the cream)

swirl buttercream cuppies with fondant roses

p/s: I finally am able to make cupcake swirls!!! yeay!!!

rush order



hey folks! its been a while since the baking bug bit me... hehhehe
my mum requested me to bake some cupcakes for my aunt's farewell party.
she is going back to London after resting in Kuching for almost 2 years.

anyway, my aunt isnt a fan of eating out or sweet tooth like cakes.
so baking a storm for her would be a total irony.
but, as always, im always looking for a reason to bake so im baking for the nieces and nephews who would be attending this party :D

i decided to bake 2 batches or cupcakes (vanilla and chocolate).
the entire process of measuring, baking and cleaning took a whooping 2 and 1/2 hours... not bad...

light vanilla cuppies

working from home

its april already? *gasps*
how time flies, and i havent been to a gym or started jogging yet. *sigh*

anyway, im in LUMUT at the moment. staying wif hubby who works as a naval officer. am staying at the officer's quaters here in lumut. not bad. spacious and cool. tapi ada lah boring skit bila takda aktiviti nak buat (oh no! and ive been here only like 4 days...huhuhu)

so, what do i do when hubby goes to work? I WORKED!
luckily i have the 'brains' to bring my work documents along with me (even tho its 2 boxes full and carried all the way from KUCHING)
here is some pics of my home office

the living room turned into my office with work documents

spent most of the day infront of my lappy entering documents, browsing thru fb and allrecipes.com. *hehehhe.... me bad*
