A mini-gift for teachers/colleagues/friends/sisters.. Preparing gift for my son's teacher was always a head-ache..I dont know what to give, the teachers are more fashionable than I am.. Hence the only SAFE gift i would give are cookies/brownies nicely wrapped in boxes..they really look exclusive!! And most important; First, of course the teacher will love it as it taste good hehehe..and second i would always trust my son bringing these indelicate item to school without any accident ..

Red Velvet Cake for Engagement

Phewww..this is what had been messing my head for almost a week..cream cheese vs fondant..they just doesnt match..cream cheese with high in moisture, while fondant must be kept dry at all time..it's like magnet with opposing poles.. but what the heck, a request must be granted..TQ Kak Lyn & Kak Yani for the advises..an amateur baker like me sure needs more-more practice..

TQVM Eija, I do hope both cakes safely arrive Termerloh safe and sound in their boxes. Let me know how it turned out..

Just 10 minutes before Eija arrive to pick up both her cakes, I just realized that a point at the back of the cake were 'bubbling' like..as i poked the soft middle cheese oozed out..uwaaaaa..and i just did what needed to be done! Hope no body recognize that bad part of the cake! No more Red Velvet with fondant..to be safe, had to use butter cream instead!




Have a pleasant weekend all!!!

Chocolate Pavlova with Strawbery and Tangerine

As salam all..what a week without RV..here a mini-RV requested by my SIL for her office mate. I ought to remember the recepi by heart now. Alhamdulillah.


Here too, requested by my SIL together along with the RV..Chocolate pavlova with creamy cream, spread with shredded chocolate and strawberry and tangerine..(that's all i have in-house)

This is eventually my 2nd attempt making the most ever famous dessert..pavlova..in memorization of Anna Pavlova.. technically, pavlova should be crisp on the outer while mashmallowy on the inside.. i like mine differently..very crispy meringue like..and smooth silky like on the inside.. I have tried pavlove from Joy of Baking but Nigella's a winner.. The recipe is simple..here it goes RECIPE HERE!

And it should be double layer..but my son loved it as is..omit the cream and the rest..


At this very right moment, I am actually waiting for another 2 RV cakes in the oven..hmmm the aroma..shall update the pics ya!
