My Family's Artwork

 Hi viewers, I am as happy as a lark today and I am going to enjoy my life to the fullest.  Today I'm going to share my family's artworks that I'm really proud of.  All the pictures were painted by me. my husband and my youngest son, Aiman.  We like to use oil painting since it is a long-lasting art medium and easier to take care of.
We used to paint on the canvas and later the picture was sent to be framed.  I love to paint flowers.  My hubby with the fruits and scenery, while Aiman with his imaginary pictures.
So, you can guess now, how I get the ideas to design  my cupcakes and cakes with beautiful images.

Upin N Ipin Chocolate Cake

Again it happened that I had to use my art skills to decorate this American Chocolate Cake with Upin And Ipin characters.  They were Malaysian children's icons and everybody knew Upin and Ipin and even the Indian barber who cut my son's hair asked this question.." You want a cut like Yupin's hair? (which means bald..hehehe)

The cake was heavenly coated with chocolate ganache and then I used buttercream icing to pipe all those lines and design.  The piping jelly was the last thing to beautify my art as it looked glowing on the cake.

Thanks Norizan for ordering this cake.  His hubby loved the cake very much and I was very delighted.

A Doll Cake

Hi everybody.. view some photos of my doll cake.  It was a 1 and half kg of yam sponge cake which was baked in skirt- like mould that I bought in Yummy Bakery in Bangi.  Cooled it for a day in the fridge.  The reason was to make the cake more moist. Then I used the doll figurine, wrapped in the plastic foil and inserted it in the middle of the cake.

For the decoration, I used fresh cream icing with yam flavour and some buttercream icing to beautified it.  The deco is up to your creativity.

This doll cake needed to be put in a tall box.  Cut at the both sides of the box so it is easier to put the cake inside.  Don't forget to tape the sides again.

This cake was ordered by Rosmawati for her 11th years old daughter, Amira.  Thanks Ros..

Resepi Puding Kek@Roti Yang Sangat Mudah

Pada hari ini saya ingin berkongsi resepi yang sangat mudah dan  digemari seisi keluarga kami terutama buat bonda tercinta, Pn Fatimah bt Hj Mohd Noor.  Ia sebenarnya adalah dari resepi Puding Roti tapi telah diadaptasikan oleh saya atas permintaan cik abang yang mahukan kelainan (kadang-kadang).

 

 Apa yang diperlukan ialah sebuku kek (Butter atau sponge)lebih kurang 500gm (atau 8 keping roti Gardenia) yang disusun didalam loyang atau mangkuk yang tahan oven.

Kemudian saya taburkan lebihan buah ceri supaya ia kelihatan menarik.  Terpulang kepada anda samada mahu menaburkan sebarang jenis buah-buahan kesukaan anda.  

Setelah itu anda perlukan 50ml susu cair(atau susu segar) untuk merendam kek tersebut lebih kurang 10 minit.

 Kemudian, ambil 2 biji telur dipukul bersama 4 sudu besar gula dan 4 sudu besar tepung kastard. Tambahkan lebih kurang 200ml susu cair(atau 500ml lagi sekiranya anda suka ia berkuah.) ke dalam bancuhan telur tadi.

 Tuangkan ke atas kek yang terendam tersebut.

 Saya juga menaburkan kismis minda di atas puding ini agar lebih enak dan berkhasiat.

 Bolehlah dibakar dalam oven dengan suhu 180 C selama 15 minit.

 Inilah rupa Puding Kek yang kelihatan berkilat setelah dibakar.

 Lebih enak bila ditambahkan ais krim Neapolitan di atasnya.

 Cubalah....
