Marie Cheese Layer Cake

I am not sure to call this a cake or not..and of course it looks like a cake but since no baking was required the name cake was rather inaccurate for this supper delicious and decadent dessert. Let make things easy and follow what everyone have called it..the Marie Cheese Layer Cake ;)

This is the 3rd batch I made within few weeks of time. I made it first here, and this is 3rd tray and specially requested by my son and was clearly mentioned to me not to give away any of them to any one.

I know many other bakers have posted this cake long time ago. Yet it was my mom who made me want to try this out. Mom visited her friend in Sarawak and was served with this cake. Mom called me immediately and said.."there's a 'new' sedap cake, go bake them".. What ever tasted good to Mom, would always be good to me too..and indeed it was true. Light, cheesy and the lemony taste gave an additional kick to the cake. I loved it cool ;)

Thanked to Peek Freans who created this super-useful biscuit in 1874, where many recipe had been using this biscuit in baking and cooking. And of course I am one of the many fans of this Marie biscuit. Here is the recipe for this Marie Cheese Layer Cake, thank you for sharing kak Yani.

Ingredients:

1 packet of Marie biscuit

1 packet of coffee Marie biscuit (trust me, tasted so good)

250 gram philly cream cheese

300 ml anchor whipping cream

250 ml evaporated milk

1 tbsp lemon juice

125gm shredded philly cheddar cheese

Ensure cream cheese at room temperature.

Whipped cream cheese until smooth.

Add in milk and stir.

Add in lemon juice and stir.

Add in 300 ml cream and beat till creamy and fluffy.

Arrange biscuit/cheese mixture/biscuit until all were used.

Enjoy!

Happy Merdeka!

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! I could hear fire works explodes through the night as I baked all the goodies for all the lovely people I met.

Open house invitations as well as open house order flooded my inbox/sms/watsup. Only 2 orders were refused but the rest were accepted with open heart. However, I had to declined almost all open houses this week as hubby is again away for work, except to 2 of my neighbour's invatations.

I've had enough rest during Ramadan and here all orders made for the Merdeka weekend. Love the adrenaline rush ;)

Thank you all lovely ladies ;) And thank you ALOT to my sis & SIL for keeping me company at night. Love u both!

I baked the yogurt cake again on Wednesday for the kids as they loved it so much..One huge slice gone in minutes. This time around, I omitted the strawberry, instead slapped the cake with my super-licious chocolate ganache. Since I was fully occupied with orders, instead of making cupcakes for his class as planned, only 3 choc-candies + RM1 were place in cupcakes casing for Aizam's Merdeka & Raya celebration at school on Thursday..

Have a great Sunday tomorrow, as I know mine will be because my other half will be home ;) 

Ramadan al-baraqah..

I've always planned but, due to circumstances everything changes and did not go as planned. I planned, yet He the Most Merciful decided. Especially in this month of Ramadan, everything seems so easy and perfectly seamless. Subhanallah and syukur.

I purposely announced early that no bakes during Ramadan as I feel I'd like to focus on family..nonetheless..request keeps coming in..my baby sleeps early now adays..once done completed my prayers..I was 'nothing' much to. One order accepted then, followed by another. Believe me, baking is very contagious. Once you've started, you'd be so eagerly to have more.

Thank you to all..again thank you!

No bakes during Ramadhan..

How time flew so fast. The memories from last Ramadhan was still fresh in me, and here we are only a few days away from the holy month. Half of last year's Ramadhan was spent in the hospital due to my sick baby..and I hope this year will be a better & fulfilling month with all possible good deeds.

I just want to lay low for this month and focus on me & family only. Therefore. no new orders/bakes during Ramadhan. I'll be baking my own cookies and will indeed share the recipe and photos here.

Few bakes for today..

Rainbow cake with butter cream. Layers of BC colours were the same as cake colours. This is a 10 inch cake using 1.5 recipe.

This simple and delicious fruit cake ended my bakes for this week. We and my in laws were having a picnic in Lata Jarum, Raub Pahang and the fruit cake was a long 'said' item from my dear FIL.

How to;

Not always a bed of roses..

Birth & death are indeed human cycle and all were by the power of Allah swt. One of my dearest uncle just passed away on Sunday due to an accident. The accident happened when he was in his way back from the mosque and it happened just in front of his house. He lost his life on spot. He was pious man, a kind hearted, the one you would go to and seek advice for, a soft spoken man who loves his wife so dearly, never raises his voices, the one who fast religiously, a husband who married his wife at young age and loves her endlessly, a father who all his children look up to and rely on till the end, a grand father to loves and care his grand children so much..Al-fatihah Hj Amran Satun. I felt the lost of him and of course such amicable void to my Mak Cik Ani and his children.

Life is not always a bed of roses..below are all the bakes with rosetta design made by request.

Devil food chocolate cake.

Carrot cake with cream cheese.

Red velvet cake with cream cheese.

Moist chocolate cup cakes with chocolate ganache.

Strawberry meringue cookies.

 Thank you lovely people!! Hug and kiss your loved ones always!

Meeting the odds..

Syukur as always, I managed to pull things through though I thought I might not. Hubby was away to Germany for the entire week last week, and like always..all the unexpected happened only while he was away. He was not in, meaning me sailing alone, with the kids on tow.

Below are the bakes I promised longed before knowing hubby had to leave for the week. I was running kitchen-room-kitchen at night as my baby was having those nasty cough. Grrrr!!

And like always, once hubby was back today..everything seems calm..,my baby was recuperating..the boys are content with Babah in the house..and as I told him everything from A to Z..I felt like I was spicing things up :(

Anyhow..thank you all!!!

Lemon Cheese Tart

Made this simple yet delicious lemon cheese tart on Sunday. I had 2 kg of cream cheese which will expire on  the 1st week of July. Fear that there'll be no order, I decided to use them all up. Made double batch of this lemon cheese tart..a tray for us and another for my neighbour.

Recipe was adapted from Kak Yani's blog HERE. Happy trying..!

For my neighbour, I added canned tangerine..

For us, just a dashed of shredded chocolates. My dear friend Ita and mom dropped by and served this..gone in a minute!

At last these were collected by my sister for her friend, pavlova with vanilla cream.

Made this red velvet cake with the remaining cream cheese for my sister for her 23rd birthday..wishes you the best in life sis!

Hehehe..i'll be going slow this week. Hubby is away..my energy level will depletes so fast than you can imagine..so i am laying low and slow..

Cheers!

Too hard to be true..

Delivering a cake was something I feared most. And, what I feared might happened ..had actually happened..leaving me so sad and frustrated. The similar cake was delivered to once to Putrajaya & Kajang, and Syukur it was perfect. But, a cake I delivered to a housing area just across my house..collapsed, leaving me speechless!

I was driving super-slow as it was heavily raining, where I hit a small bump. Instead of pressing the break paddle slowly, I hit it hard (shocked, as didint see the small bump)..and there a shout from my boy who sat with the cake at the back.. "Ma...stop, kek jatuh..". I emotion shattered..WORDLESS.

Lucky the top tier (chocolate moist) was still acceptable, and re-assembled for Aida. The ruin bottom tier was 6 layers rainbow cake. :(

Aida & Rizal..I SORRY for what happened! Again so SORRY to ruin, Darwisy's special day!

Cuppies with similar theme.

I leave the rest of the bakes here..let the picture speaks :)
