Bake free day..

Last nite was a bake free nite..that was good, at least i have ample time to browse and check on latest/newest bakery/cakery etc item via google.

I am also planning for baking required this weekend. All my essential items to be stocked up;
- Anchor butter - checked
- Beryl's dark chocolate - checked
- Oreo biscuits - checked
- Caster sugar from Bagus - checked
- Anchor whipping cream - checked
- Dutch Lady full cream milk - checked
- Daisy corn oil - checked
- Grade A eggs - checked
- Philly 2kg cheese - checked

the above are a must..just to ensure constant taste and texture for my bakings..

But by morning, i felt weird and just had to turn on the oven..

Here it goes..baked macaroni and cheese (my style :) )

It's simple..just prepare boiled macaroni and your favourite pasta sauce. And placed into greased baking dish.
Whisked 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and oregano leaves. Pour onto your dish.
A packet of mozarella cheese deliberately spread on top.
Baked for 30 minutes..and walla..




And the main reason why i was so lazy to bake..because Garret pop corn was in the house..please take these away from me....i cant stoppp..


And it is true..love is always messy..don't you think.. :)

psstt..i rather hate my photos quality..shall improvise one day..

Blueberry Cheese Cake

My kids simply loves anything with cheese. Be it dessert or main meal. And of course who would refuse something cheesy and delicious..

I baked this blueberry cheese cake last nite into 7 inch pan, now  almost by 3 pm..there were only 1/4 left.. They had  it at breakfast and as dessert after lunch...

This cheese cake was simply delicious and so simple to make..try it then you know it's worth it! The recipe is here at HANA's  . I simply substitute the choc with blueberry. I used to read Hana's blog almost everyday, now since she came back to M'sia..the blog was not updated..Mana lah cikgu Hana nih!



Last nite too, I baked Cotton Soft Durian for Bella. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do yer Bella!! TQVVM!

Three in a nite..

As salam all..My last bake was Monday nite, as the previous post. Tuesday nite i was still ok, as i called it my rest nite. Wednesday nite, i already feel something amissed..took out the butter, grabbed my jot book, put on the apron..and here i go..three new recipe in a nite..ahakss..

Banana cake with choc chips. Turned our very soft and moist but not too sweet and far-far away like the shop's take. The taste of the banana was strong and original! The recipe was in my jot book, i'll share later. Insyaallah..

I have been longing to try this..and turned out so delicious!!!!! I dont know why lately i just love the taste of brownies and the square shape cutting. Simply easy to grab and have at a go..and i dont have the guilt to have 2-3 pcs as it's so small...imagine having 2-3 large cut of cakes, such a big guilt...Source of recipe is HERE.

Last week i had Famous Amos giant cookies with heaps of raisins, oat and choc chips..and hadnt had enough of  those..and yes, i do have a sweet tooth. If you ask me which aremy preferences, i'd chooce cookies and brownies over cakes. But yes, it feels always good to indulge into a good and delicious cake once a  while. So last nite, the 3rd bake was chewey gooey choc with cranberries cookies..Source of recipe is HERE. The original recipe had peanut butter, i omitted those instead replace with a cup of dried cranberries which i got from Bake with Yen. Yummyyyyyy!! Had a box of these on my work desk..


Till then peeps..enjoy your day!

It was a fruity deal..

I was checking my FB page last nite and an old friend of mine suddenly sent a message..Asking what's a Pavlova..knowing her taste I'd know she wont like the taste & texture of it. She said she feels like having an orange cake..And automatically, Sicilian Orange Cake came to my head. I made this cake longgg.. time ago..and it was indeed a super duper delicious, soft, moist cake.. yet it was so simple to make..and i'd guarantee nothing will go wrong..source of recipe HERE!


Here..the texture..tasting is believing :)


And just before I started to bake, she sms-ed me asking to bake another cake, Victoria Sandwich Cake, which was her hb's fave. Lucky all the ingredient was at hand..and i just whisk it all up..source of recipe HERE!




The aroma of these cakes lingered into the entire house..lucky it doesn't wakes the kids up :) All that I know..these fruity deals really ends and my weekend..TQVM Yatie..hope u n hubby enjoy the cake..!! And I am looking forward for an up coming baking project..

Rich and delicious..

Rich and delicious are my fave words! It's rich in flavour and simply delicious that's how i'd like my cake to be.. Of course everyone's taste or perception are different. And again, to ultimately said the cake is rich & delicious would be far too subjective. It depends on individual and preferences.

Last Saturday nite, i purposely baked us our own RV cake. Had been a while since we had RV as most of the time i would bake it for the customer only. Deeply, i've always had chocolate cake as my all time fave.

I was hit! My RV was indeed rich and delicious! And the flavour was unique and again delicious!!


PM me to try. You'll never regret!
