Cream puff and Tart

Cream puff ini dibuat sempena majlis perpisahan setiausaha my GM in my division. Kawan-kawan yang anjurkan small party ni bagitau very last minute which is on late afternoon- Thursday. Jadi, bila sampai umah dok fikir apa yang mudah nak dibakar, teringat la cream puff. So saya buat 24 biji bawa ke pejabat.
Yang ni plak ditempah Kak Mona dr Annexe 1. Saya buat 3 perisa: Choc, Lemon & Blueberry.

Super Moist Choc Cake

I want to fulfill this promise to a very good friend of mine, Sis Amy Suraya. Hope other bloggers may also benefit. Happy Baking dude!

Ingredients:
A
250 gm cake flour/superfine flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt

B
250 gm butter
450gm castor sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
4 eggs (B size)

C
70gm cocoa powder
1 2/3 cupsa (350 ml) cold water (from the fridge)

Methods:
1. Sift together all A
2. Combine and mix C until smooth. Set aside in fridge to maintain coldness.
3. Cream butter, sugar, & vanila until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
4. At low speed, add A alternately with cocoa mixture. Mix until smooth
5. Pour into pans. Note: Brush the pan with shortening / margarine first ok.
6. Bake for 1 hr - 1 hr & 15 min at 175 deg. ( I recommend you to check the cake after 1 hr baked to prevent overbaked. You can check using cake tester, the cake is ready if the tester comes out clean after inserted into the center of the cake)

Frosting:
1. Simple Choc frosting

3/4 cup of cocoa powder
1 small tin of condensed milk
1 table spoon cooking oil (not the used one)

Method: Mix together all ingredients in a bowl. Simmer it until the cream is thick using double boiler method. You may pour it immediately on the cake. Reminder: You cannot deco the frosting by using nozzle.

2.Choc Ganache

500 gm cooking choc
200 gm double cream/whipping cream

Methods:
1. Chop the choc into small cubes and put aside.
2. Heat the whipping cream until bubbles.
3. Turn off heat and add chocolate.
4. Slowly whisk mixture until smooth and well combined
5. Let cool to room temperature

You may deco by using Spatula and pipe it using nozzle with Choc Ganache. It's also taste very good than the simple choc frosting above. I simply love it.

Happy Birthday Shu!

Walaupun letih ( minggu ni tetiap hari balik dr keje lewat, sampai umah malam) , daku usaha juga siapkan kek buat my only sister , Shuhada sempena harijadinya yg ke 20 thn. As requested, it' Choc Chip Cheesecake which I frosted with Choc topping and she also requested flower deco. Keknya dibawa balik pd hari Khamis ke Kota Samarahan Sarawak menaik AirAsia untuk di makan bersama rakan-rakan di kolej UITM.

Happy Birthday Shu!

Lelong cuppies

Disebabkan tempahan ini di batal oleh pelanggan, saya terpaksa lelong CupCakes ni kat pejabat.
Mulanya risau takut tak laku, tapi lepas 30 minit broadcast email kepada beberapa kengkawan & pelanggan2 lepas, terus sold out kedua-dua boxes. Pelanggannya tak jauh pon, rakan-rakan pejabat yang lapar belum sarapan ;). Yang selebihnya saya & adik la yang habiskan.
Terima kasih yer. Lain kali kita jual lagi.
Tema warna: Biru langit & putih
Jenis kek: butter cake

Berdasarkan pengalaman ini, saya memohon pelanggan yang budiman bayar at least 50% deposit semasa membuat tempahan. Tapi kalau pelanggan biasa, saya boleh consider tanpa deposit. Semua atas budi bicara ;)

Xmas Cake???

For the 1st time my GM ordered from me. She didn't make any order before due to her loyalty to Secret Recipe. But as soon as Pn Ana ( who ordered the cake last week ) gave credit to this cake, she immediately place an order.
I'm running out of time, therefore, I just decorated the top with roasted almond , very easy measy.



Xmas day was very hectic starting with cleaning the house, baking 3 cakes, going to Mak Lang and Mak Ndah house to celebrate my cousin's son birthday and just before I slept I decorate the last cake: Carrot Moist Cake. Penatnya!!
This is the Marble Butter Cake before I deco it. After deco. I brought this cake to Mak Lang & Mak Ndah house. Initially to surprise my cousin, but they just going home last 2 days. haiyaa. kami je yg ngap.


Last but not least, for my lovely hubby who left at home settling his IT project during the Xmas day. He didn't join our trip to Mak Lang house. He alone finished all the 6 cuppies. Huhu, sebab tu nak berat badan tu ek.
