Cream Puff

Hari Ahad yang lalu Aiman a.k.a Abang tak nak lunch. Kenyang... Kami semua terperanjat sebab dia baru balik dari tuition dan habis tuisyen straight balik rumah. Tak singgah di mana2 pun.... Hurmmmm... Then dia bagitau kenyang sebab banyak makan cream puff kat tempat tuition. Aunty Ina bagi makan cream puff... Ina's husband buat add math tuition kat a few of their daughter's friends..... dan dalam group tu Abang is the only boy...So everytime Aunty Ina buat kuih, Abang selalu tukang perabih.... Ada at one time tu dia sibuk suruh Akak ambil dia cepat, sebab tak  mau makan kuih hijau with chocolate sauce... Kuih hijau and chocolate sauce?? Semua orang tertanya2 kuih apa lah pulak tu. Akak dan saya pun suruh dia describe kuih tu. Kami dah jadi macam polis pencen. Bila dia habis described then kita orang semua ketawa... Oh kuih JLo rupa2 nya... Tau apa kuih JLo ni? Kuih lopes lah....

So bila Akak dengar dia makan cream puff, Akak pun nak makan jugak... Mula2 dia kata dia nak buat... So lepas solat zohor, Akak pergi kedai beli telur. Telur pulak dah habis. Masa tu Kakak saya dari Mersing ada di rumah.... So petang tu kami berkumpul di dapur buat cream puff... Masa sibuk2 buat cream puff baru kami perasan, Akak tak buat pun cream puff... Saya buat dia tengok sambil online... bertuah betul anak dara saya ni... Dia kata; "Umi dah buat, tak perlulah Akak nak menyibuk".. ish, ish...

Mula2 saya plan nak buat evening walk dengan my sister... Jln di keliling taman tempat saya tinggal.... Kami plan nak jalan after 6pm, masa tu dah tak berapa panas... Lepas asar sementara nak tungu pukul 6 petang, kami pun hidang lah cream puff for tea.... Seronok kami semua duduk bersembang sambil makan, sedar2 dah dekat maghrib.... So kami berdua did our evening walk kat dining table jer lah petang tu......

Inilah cream puff untuk tatapan semua....

Oooey Gooey Triple Chocolate Brownie

I started getting more serious in baking 4 years ago. However, I was exposed to baking since my childhood masa sekolah rendah lagi. Masa tu tolong arwah emak buat kuih raya, sebab tak ada orang kat rumah. Kakak saya yang sulong bekerja di Negeri Sembilan sementara kakak saya seornag lagi duduk di asrama. Seronok bila tiba bulan puasa, tolong emak buat kuih. Masa darjah 1 kalau emak buat kuih, saya pun ponteng puasa... Penat lah kononnya.... Nanti dapatlah makan kuih yang tak berapa nak menjadi... mcm kembang sangat lah, tak cantik lah....

Masa dulu mana ada oven di rumah, ya lah di kampung kan.. Semua menggunakan cara traditional, arang or dapur minyak gasoline..

Saya rasa sekarang, membakar kuih bauhulu cara ni hanya di gunakan at the tourist attraction places.... Kadang2 kalau tak ada arang, emak saya gunakan sabut kelapa...


Ayah saya belikan emak oven gas masa saya form 1. Sebelum tu sama emak mengunakan "stove top oven"... kalau tak silap saya seperti gambar di bawah ni... dapur masak pun pakai dapur minyak tanah...

Masih ada di pasaran ke?

Beginilah rupa dapur minyak tanah... Masih ada lagi ke orang guna dapur ni?

4 tahun yang lalu, saya berpindah tempat kerja... Tukar kerja tukar responsibility.. Then saya rasa macam tak berapa seronok di tempat... Saya pun mula mencari2 hobby. Saya pun mula berjinak2 untuk mengikuti cake deco classes.  Then mula berani menerima tempahan.... However, until now I didn't really put 100% of my effort and energy into this field.. I am doing this on part-time basis, as I have full time job awaiting for me. Dah lah tu tak ada maid pulak...

Paling saya suka bila menerima tempahan untuk wedding or hantaran... Saya suka deco dengan bunga2 sebab bunga cantik...

 In the early of June, saya betul2 stress... Stress tentang kerja. (eh tak mau lah cerita pasal ni)... Sedih sangat... So bila stress saya suka buat dessert... Teringin lah pulak nak makan Ooey Gooey Triple Chocolate Brownie. Brownie ni sedap makan masa panas2 and topped with ice-cream.... Yummyy...

Ini lah brownie saya... Brownie panas makan dengan ice-cream sejuk.... Sedap!!!!

Brownie ni lembut sebab tu panggil saya letak nama Ooey Goey Tripple Chocolate... Saya buat menggunakan 3 jenis chocolate; dark,  Ooey Gooey pula sebab lembut..... Saya dapat recipe ni dari Food Network, tak ingat pulak nama brownie tu...So sesiapa yng nak mencuba, sila click Food Network. 

Cuba ya jangan tak cuba...

Lilac and Pink Roses

Hujung bulan lepas, masa tu tengah lepak2 kat rumah my father di kampung, mata dah layu, tinggal nak tutup, tiba2 sms masuk.... "Fazy, u boleh tak buat engagement hantaran cupcake for my niece?" Lebih kurang begitulah bunyi sms from Shad.... 

Actually, Dalina (Shad's sister) requesting deco similar to my old design, cuma color lain. Instead of red and pink roses, she wanted lilac and pink roses as deco...

Actually, setiap color roses ni ada makna yang tersirat, different color different meaning... There is also meaning on the number of roses... ish, ish.... lepas ni kena berhati2 lah ye kalau nak bagi roses kat orang... Nanti kalau ada masa saya tulis tentang roses ni....

Mana2 yng belum berkahwin tu kalau terima 108 roses, kenalah fikir masak2 ya.... ia bermaksud "marry me"...

3 roses: "I Love You"

Lilac Rose: "The begining of true love"

Pink Rose: "romance, beauty, elegance, joy and admiration"

The cupcakes were packed in individul packaging complete with ribbon.

White and Red Roses for Aisya & Salahudin

Eh dah hampir seminggu tak update blog.... Gambar2 pun terperam dalam computer bertambah2. Entah kenapa semakin slow nak mengemaskini blog ni... Mungkin sebab tak sihat kot, dah hampir dua minggu batuk... Makan ubat batuk dah berbotol2 dan berjenis2, tapi sama aje... Paling teruk bila tengah meeting kat office. So sekarang ni bila meeting saya akan pilih tempat duduk yang berhampiran dengan pintu. Bila rasa nak terbatuk dan tak boleh ditahan, saya pun berlalri ke washroom. Berulangkali ke washroom, kalau tak habis semua ornag dalam meeting room tu effected... Paling kesian bila pulak ada pregnant lady dalam meeting room... ish, ish,... tak mahulah jadi orang yang spread the virus...

Walaupun tak berapa sihat, tapi saya seronok. Erda, my fb's friend (also my customer) trusted me to bake and decorate cupcakes for her sister-in-law's wedding. Cupcake for hantaran... Saya memang suka deco for wedding and hantaran especially kalau deco involve bunga...

Senang berusurusan dengan Erda.... We agreed on the design after exchanging information via smses and fb messages. Senang.... The most important, Erda nak red and white deco.... Tentang design and type of flowers, dia kata terpulang...

So ini lah hasil dari our virtual discussion, hehehe

A & S: Aisya and Salahudin

Kenapa saya pilih red and white roses? Mesti ada sebab kan.... Semua orang tau, Red Rose is a symbol of love but did you know, if we give a bouquet of red and white roses, its means unity? Although I didn't decorate it as a bouquet of flower, tapi bila bila combine a few cupcakes nampak macam sejambak bunga mawar merah dan putih....

I love red and white roses...

Loving it even more....“You’re heavenly,” reverence and humility, innocence and purity, “I’m worthy of you,” and secrecy and silence.

Sekuntum mawar merah

True love

Red and white roses signify unity

Carrot n Pineapple Cake

Carrot cake

 I love it... Batrisyia ate it... Afiqah tasted it.... Aiman did not even touch it...

I baked carrot cake before..... then last week end, I stumbled upon this recipe... Carrot and Pineapple... hrmm seems interesting.... My carrot cake recipe only need carrot and walnut.... but this new recipe require carrot, pineapple, raisin and walnut,,,,


The result??? I loved it.... Batrisyia like it... Afiqah said taste ok, but she didn't like the raisin...(She didn't eat raisin, any type of raisin....).  Aiman?? He only ate Chocolate Cake.... I brought it to the office... Habis, and the review given by my office mate was encouraging... Now, I have decided to use the new recipe instead of my previous one...

Chocolate Desire

"S T R E S S E D", if we spell it backward >>> "D E S S E R T S"!!!!!
and it tastes Yummmmyyyyyy!!!!

I realized one thing, every time I have a stressful day, I am craving for chocolate. I guess this is my stress-coping strategies.... Am I addicted to chocolate? Don't think so... but it does make me feel good... And study done by scientist proved that chocolate lowers stress biomarkers.

Chocolate Desire (One of my stress reliever)
Made of lots of cream cheese, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and oreo cookies


This is my interpretation of Chocolate Desire original recipe by Amy Heng.  I made some changes on the original recipe by replacing the praline crust with crushed oreo cookies combines with melted butter. Its rich, delicious,.... but don't over indulge.... There must be reason why I didn't fill up the glass full... 

Baldu Merah Mawar Biru

Happy Birthday Mazy

Mazy celebrated her birthday last Tue and she requested for red velvet cake. When I agreed to bake her birthday cake, I didn't ask her on the theme of her birthday party.

I decorated her cake with cream cheese frosting and blue roses. I don't know why on that day I prefer blue color. She uploaded the cake photo into her Facebook, and one of her friend asked for confirmation on the color. Oh no!!!!! The theme color is RED!!! 

"Mazy, thousand apologies. I am really sorry my dear"  

I should have asked her.... 

Plain White Bread

My hubby bought this breadmaker a few months ago. Although I am not a bread lover and I hate to do all the kneading, I love the smell of homemade bread. Suka bau roti satu rumah...  The other good thing of having bread maker at home (untuk orang yang agak malas seperti saya) is the ability to serve healthy food with fresh and halal ingredients sans preservative to my family.

My son like the plain white bread. To make this bread is as simple as 1, 2, 3...

Add 290ml water

1and 3/4tsb Oil

450gm bread flour

4tsp milk powder

1 and 1/2tsp salt

1tsb sugar

1 and 1/2tsp yeast 

Everything in the pan

Place the pan in the breadmaker. Select the proper setting (750gm weight, set timer) anf turn it "ON".
