A Simple & Delicious Corporate Gift

It was true what they said about the law of attraction. And it was also true what they said about, good news permeates by it self. And how true how you must get it right the first time.

Being in this baking business is never easy, with a lot of great bakers growing like mushroom after the rain, including me. I do hope I'll be one of those who survived to meet a rainbow one day. And I thanked full for every trust and support received ;)

Had fun baking & packing these brownies and mini red velvet cake for a gift from my regular customer for her bank clients.Thank you Kak!

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 ;)

A total of 150pcs moist chocolate & buttermilk vanilla cupcakes.

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 ;) 

Macaron madness..

I again, did few trials to master the art of macaron last week. Because this little cuties are too lovely to gave in to. And here are some points jotted which i found the most crucial for a successful macaron. Cracked macarons are my main failure. After placing a tray in the oven, waiting for 5 mins the feet will rise, and almost right after this..you'll slowly see a hairline crack starts to perform. If this is the first batch, you'll know that the rest of the trays will surely have the same cracks.. To point to continue..you'll only get 2-3 random of good macs, the rest are best to be thrown away soonest possible..hahaha.. After long sighed..patience..so here what made my macarons cracked :

1. Too high of temperature during baking.
- Even a teeny bit of change could affect. So here is the ideal for my oven..hehehe..see the marking..

2. Humidity

- Sad to say, yes rainy day affects, drying the mac in front of the oven helps or lay them in the air-conditioned room

- Heated the oven longgg enough to ensure homogeneous heat distribution within the oven

3. The art of folding

- Dont over beat or it'll create air bubbles in the batter..pufff cracking..

- Using a rubber spatula, scrap, turn, scrap..softly. 

- After adding the colour / additional flavouring..i counted to 5 and stopped..hahaha..

- It is done when you lift and it drapes down slowly ribbon like..if it dropped too fast..it's over beat..puff possible crack..

Other points jotted for my future reference;

- Egg whites could already be used after 8 hours of ageing.

- Use a good blender to zapped the icing sugar and the ground almond for a superfine result.

And here we are..tadaaaaa.. hope the above helps who've been having the same cracking on their macarons..
