This cake was the wish of a very adorable girl who wanted to have a doll cake with cupcakes. The doll cake is chocolate butter cake where else, the 45 cupcakes are twister vanilla cupcakes with strawberry cream filling. Total cost of this set is RM395.

why my blog is slowing down, it is not. It is just that I have been having quite a few repeat orders of what has been posted in here. Business is generally quiet after CNY but nevertheless, I am blessed with constant orders. So, praise the almighty LORD!

Yes, Good Friday came and went and today is Easter Day. Although I didnt do anything fanciful this year, I did take time to reflect, remember and be very grateful for all the miracles that happen in my life. The first miracle is to have faith and hope in the almighty LORD. Amen. Happy Easter to everyone and may the significance of this day rain upon you.

Now, we are at the last month of the 1st quarter for 2010 and I must announce that the prices in this blog will be revised by June. I know that nobody like to hear such news but things have been escalating so fast and high I really dont have any choice but to adjust my pricing accordingly. There are so many increament of late in everything from raw materials to utilities such as electricity and it is really hard to make decent profit to feed my creation. As for now, I can say the revision will be minimal compared to the increament of goods. So, I do hope you people will continue to support my little business.

This is what I created for an Easter Day order. These cuppies are twister cuppies with lemon curd filing and the piquant tasting lemons go so well with the icing!

This was sold at RM5.50 with a minimum order of 16 cuppies. You can have either vanilla cuppies with lemon curd filling or double dose lemon cuppies with lemon curd or vanilla cuppies with delicious raspberry jellies... it is sooo yums!

I like my doughnuts the old fashion way... the makcik way.. full of bite, full of texture and coated with lots of sugar. Yes, I am quite an old fashion antique! Hehehhee.. And since, such old fashion doughnuts are hard to come by these days, I decided to make them myself. Yes, I am no fan of those fanciful doughnuts you can get at shopping malls... I find them too soft and airy and nothing but sweet tasting. There is no bite to it and most importantly no satisfaction.. Sigh..

Anyway, my daughter had her friends over and it was a great opportunity to make doughnuts. It was very easy to do, no machines, no gadgets, no nothing but my hands and time.. Mix everything up, pull and push the dough with all your might, yes, stress relieving time.. and let it rest. When it has risen to double its volume, punch it down, knead it a bit, roll it out and cut. Proof for the 2nd time and when they double up their size again, fry them in vegetable oil. Lastly, coat them in sugar and cinnamon and see the kids whallop them with such gusto! Aaaaaahhhh.. Happiness.

The only tiny bit of set back is that these doughnuts are not sweet at all even though there is a generous coating of sugar all over. So, the next round, I will add a little bit more sugar into the dough and make it a little bit sweeter and perhaps, can spin out some really awesome spice trade doughnuts. Yes, I am thinking of adding some spice into the dough and maybe have something funky. Stay tune for it...

Yes, this is an opposites attract creation! Dark and pale, rich and light, sweet and tangy.. It is most definitely more than yummms for this cake.

The fact is, I have always wanted to marry chocolate with Tangerine and yes, was itching to do this cake for the longest time.. So, when the opportunity came to make this cake, make I did!!

It is a fairly simple cake of chocolate sponge and tangerine mousse but the trick is the layering. It took quite a bit of "skill" to layer the sponge and mousse and I am glad I did it quite nicely. Hehehehe..

As for the taste, I must say, the dark and sweet chocolate sponge compliment the tangy and smooth but light tangerine mousse.. some people may not like it because the tangerine was a wee bit too tangy this time but oh well, I like it. A very refreshing change from the usual sweet cake. Something really awesome to eat during this hot, humid and irritating weather...

Opposites Attract! was sold for RM85.

French macaroons are different from the macaroons I have always made. The difference is these macaroons have some form of grounded nuts in it and normally, it is almond. For this variant, I thought I will stick to a plain macaroons and let the filling shine! Hehehehe.. I made the most easy but terribly addictive salted caramel.. and I am so proud of it!! Now, you know why I made plain macaroons?

Anyway, back to the macaroons.. I am very happy that I was successful on my first attempt at this and was very surprise that it was super easy. The macaroons has a very delicious but delicate, egg shell-like crust that yields to a moist and airy interior. I can eat these macaroons just like that without the filling! It is so yummy!!!

As for the filling, the salted caramel is luxurious! The texture is simply smooth and the taste is very addictive. The recipe says try not to drink it.. restrain yourself! And I now understood why. It is rebelliously awesome and I nearly couldnt restrain myself... even though I dont have a sweet tooth.

So, combine these two together, it is most definitely kick ass awesome! I let the pictures speak for itself.. Yummmms! Yummmms! Yummms! Yummmms! Yummms!
