Wonder Woman Captain America Converse Shoe Cake

Adik wanted a Wonder Woman or Captain America theme Converse Shoes for her 13th birthday.  Unfortunately, this is a customized shoes and only available online. Sorry Adik, we can't buy the shoes in Malaysia, sob, sob....

So, on Adik's birthday, Akak, my eldest daughter suggested to decorate a converse shoes cake as Adik's birthday cake. I have no experience making a shoes cake, so instead of making a pair of Converse Shoes cake, we decided to do only one shoe.....

 With helped from Akak, we finally managed to complete the cake. Although the shoe was not looked exactly like the original shoes, but we both satisfied with the result (yaaaa.... we know there are lots of improvement need to be done......)

Jam and Jellies for People with Diabetics

"dear xyxy... tau tak apa brand jam utk diabetic patient? dah cari semlm kat hock choon supermkt mcm xde je. wat does it normally state on the label?"

Saya dapat message ni dari seorang kawan di fb. Beruntung pesakit tu kan, sebab kawan saya amat perihatin tentang pemakananya. Bila saya baca, terasa sedih pulak, ye lah pada suatu masa dulu, ada beberapa ahli keluarga terdekat yang menghidap penyakit kencing manis ni tapi tak dapat nak menjaga mereka... 

So saya pun "googled" di internet. Nasib baik lah kawan saya MrG ni penuh dengan information. 

Ini adalah jawapan dari Yahoo Answers:

"All you need is NO SUGAR jams and jellies. it does not have to be specifically marked "DIABETIC". In fact, if it IS marked "Diabetic" you will probably pay more for it, but get no better results than if you bought the NO SUGAR type. 

Be careful, though. There is NO SUGAR and then there is NO SUGAR ADDED. NO SUGAR means >NO< sugar. NO SUGAR ADDED DOES have sugar already in it, and it WILL raise your blood sugars."

Then, saya jumpa Malaysian's website yang menjual Stute Diebetic Jam specialised for diabetics patient...

Saya juga terjumpa homemade jam recipe yang boleh di cuba di rumah. Lagi berkualiti sebab kita boleh control bahan2 yang kita guna. Untuk sesiapa yang menjaga pesakit diabetic, mungkin boleh mencuba recipe ini. 

Saya copy dan paste recipe di bawah:

Sugar Free Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:
16 ounces frozen strawberries
1 1/2 teaspoons plain gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
6 -10 packets Splenda sugar substitute (or equivalent in granular form)
1 -2 tablespoon water, if needed

Directions: 
1 Thaw strawberries.
2 In a bowl, soften gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water.
3 If your strawberries are whole, crush them, or chop into small pieces.
4 Place strawberries into a heavy sauce pan, along with any any juices.
5 If they don't have much juice from thawing, add 1-2 tablespoons water.
6 Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until strawberry pieces are softened.
7 Stir in softened gelatin until completely dissoved.
8 Remove from heat and stir in Splenda.
9 Chill well before serving.
10 Note: do not add too much water along with the strawberries, they will probably release enough moisture while heating.

Birthday, Birthday and Birthday

Birthday, birthday and birthday..... Ramai pula celebrated birthday in April, my eldest sister, my father, truly yours, Husna (Adik's best friend) and a few more friend and relatives.... Saya buat birthday cakes for them but not for myself.

Yesterday, staff at the office gave me a slice of carrot cake for my belated birthday cake. Ingat juga dia orang...

Carrot cake is my favorite. They bought it from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Sedaaaapppp. Thanks Arfa, Fadz, Mazy and Zainal.

I made this cake for Meera (Akak's friend). She ordered for her brother, Anuar, who was celebrating his 16th birthday last month. She told me that her brother is a bookworm and loves basketball. So I made book cake with basketball player figurines as the deco.

Choc moist cake covered with fondant icing.

Princess cake ini saya buat untuk Husna (kawan baik Adik). Adik told me Husna loves green color, so, I decided to dress the Princess with green dress.

Vanilla cake with orange buttercream filling.

I wish I have pinggang seramping Princess ..... Yeah right....

Last weekend my hubby invited his staff and office mates to our house for breakfast. I made mixed fruits trifle for the dessert. (The rest of the food, I ordered from a few places.) I baked the sponge vanilla cakes a day in advanced then I made the custard on the day I assembled the trifle. I din't use the readymix cake and custard. For me the homemade cake and custard taste better.

The trifles....

By the way, I told Abang and Adik, I am planning to make Lychee Trifle for them.... Tapi bila????

Strawberry Cake

Hari ni pagi2 after breakfast saya buat strawberry cake. Cuba recipe baru... I have been looking for good strawberry cake, tried a few recipes but semua macam tak berapa menepati citarasa kami...

Hari ini saya agak bertuah, cake dapat dolby mark from my children, especially Akak. Before this, setiap kali saya buat strawberry cake, dia rasa sikit jer.. "Tak suka strawberry cake"...  Tapi, kali ni, dia makan banyak kali... Kata Akak, "Sedap giler, TAHAP GABAN" (Sebenarnyer saya tak faham apa maksud tahap gaban ni. Ini kena tanya Akak....)

Ini lah strawberry cake saya. Unfortunately, strawberry tak cukup.. I went to Just Fruit @ USJ Taipan, tapi hari ni strawberry tak banyak... Managed to buy only one box, dan sampai rumah, Adik cukai buah strawberry... So strawberry yang sedikit tu semakin berkurangan

...It's ok Adik, don't worry... you can eat all strawberry if you want.... Nanti kita pergi kedai buah kita beli lagi, ok......
