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 :)

selamat hari raya :D

Hye all.......

Ramadhan is coming to its end in a few short days.... Im a little sad that this year's Ramadhan seems to be passing by too quickly... I feel like im not fully utilizing this blessful month to its max... but syukur alhamdullillah, i managed to complete reciting the quran after a year of reciting the holy book... alhamdullilah....

The end of Ramadhan means the unfolding of Syawal.... Syawal is a joyful month as Muslims celebrate this month with glorious foods..... Not to mention us Sarawakian.... this mean sugar frenzy as delectable cakes and cookies will be served.... not to mention carbonated drinks... *memang sugar rush tauuu*.....

What i love best the coming together as a whole family..as for this year would be waiting for dear hubby to come home.. one big extended family will come together and gather at the eldest member of the family's house.... In my case, the first day will be the gathering of our families at my grandmothers house while the second day, my father will be swamped by his step-siblings *yess... my dad have over 12 step brothers and sisters*

Where there are people, there will be food.... my fav would be lemang and curry and of coz, kuah kacang and nasi impit... yummmssss.....

Whoopsss.... lets have a peek on what i did today... its a 25 pieces of chocolate cuppies covered in fondant for HARI RAYA!!!! The customer requested 6 figurines which made up the whole family... Enjoyyyyyy



Important elements during Hari Raya: lemang, ketupat, kek lapis and of course our orang tua (parents/ grandparents/ aunties and uncles)

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
