Red Velvet

Finally.. I decided to bake a red velvet cake.. actually dah lama simpan ingredients dia.. siap buttermilk pun import dari KL.. hehehe.. so, last sunday buat red velvet and kebetulan kakak from nibong tebal berkunjung.. so cam biasa la bila kami berjumpa.. cerita pasal cakes aje la.. hehehe..
but then, kek ni tak berapa menjadi.. dengan kata lain.. macam kek bantat la.. sebab dia tak naik elok.. and I know why.. sebab terlebih liquid.. masa masukkan buttermilk tu.. tak kacau/goncang kotak dia dulu.. so dia keluar air dulu.. so terlebih la..






See, not moist enough.. ala2 bantat gitu…

Moist Choc Cake

applying the technic yang dah belajar masa kelas buat cake ari tu.. using resipi from lea oven.. but I think I have to practice more.. a bit frustrated with the result.. masa siap tu.. rasa macam give up je.. apesal la masa buat ngan kak lea ok je.. tapi bila buat sendiri cam tak jadik.. rasa helpless je.. anyway.. kene kuatkan semangat.. I’ve already started this.. tak boleh separuh jalan.. hehehe..




and the 2nd time buat on the same day, buat lam cup cases.. rasanya dah jadik dah kot.. so ok la kan.. and I got orders for this choc moist untuk dibawa balik ke asrama..

16 choc moist cup cakes..

2nd attempt of Marble Cheesecake but 1st time for buttercake

Last week buat marble cheesecake for the 2nd time.. rupa sudah ada.. rasa pun ada.. but I think I have to melt the choc first before adding it in.. sebab kalau sagat aje the choc.. tak cantik la…
gave some to Sara as the day I baked tu was her birthday.. rezeki dia la dapat makan..


This time around, I’m trying to bake butter cake.. last week buat butter cake yg premix punye.. beli kat kedai Lea Oven. sedap.. especially masa masih panas..

12 March–18 March

The whole week of school holidays are spent in KL.. We all balik KL naik AirAsia yang dah dibooking lebih sebulan awal… sampai LCCT, my auntie dah tunggu.. bila gi kat kereta, dia dah kene saman.. kesian my auntie tapi alhamdulillah.. since dia pegi bayar saman tu cepat.. saman tu telah didiskaunkan.. ok la tu.. kesian my auntie..
anyway.. the whole week kat KL.. we stayed at my parents house in shah alam.. Man cuti until Rabu je.. then he is back to Kulim.. kitorang stay till friday..
banyak jugak la activities.. especially for me.. not for the kids.. hahaha.. aku jadik chauffer for my mom for her medical checkup kat spital klang and for my dad for his medical checkup kat spital serdang.. and then for my sister for her prenatal checkup kat klinik kesihatan seksyen 7.. makna kata banyak spent ulang alik spital la.. hehe.. but no problem.. tak kesah pun..
and one of the activity yg paling dinanti2kan ialah belajar buat kek with kak lea from leaoven.. best betul.. dari pagi kul 11 sampai kul 11 malam.. hehehe.. punye la marathon.. sebab supposedly 2 days.. tapi since tak de transport nak ke sana.. we cramp kan the modules jadik 1 day..
so here are the pictures yg diambil..
 
Kek-kek yang siap di ‘deco’

200 g flour
Method
Beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs. Mix in coffee flavoring. Sift flour onto mixture and mix until combined. Refrigerate the mixture.
Sweet Bun Dough Ingredients
500 g bread flour
20 g milk powder
75 g castor sugar

5. Divide the dough into 55 gram portions. Roll each portion in to a ball and then cover and set aside for 10 minutes.
6. Flatten a ball of dough and place a 10 gram cube of butter into the center of the dough. (Masa nak buat ni, leh sapu butter sket kat tangan.. doh tak melekat tapi masa nak seal tu.. jari jgn ada butter.. nanti tak leh nak tutup lepas masukkan butter)
7. Gather the edges and pinch to seal. Pat into shape and place on a greased baking tray. Proof the buns for 45 minutes.
