Hari tak de cake /cookies story..just nak update gambar activity masa cuti sekolah... Budak budak ni ..kalau gi bercuti ..yg penting mesti ada tempat berenang ...jadi kalau nak ke destinasi macam Cameron Highland tu kena laa kami fikir 2,3,4 kali...in the end mmg x pergi pun!!

dan kalau bercuti, paling best is the part makan -makan..

Kalau ke Sabak Bernam..kami mesti singgah makan Mee Udang kat Pantai Bagan Nakhoda Omar..

Seronok makan di tepi Pantai sambil tengok bot bot nelayan pulang ke pengkalan tapi sayang nya tak boleh nak mandi manda sbb air laut kat sana..baanyak lumpur..tak sanggup nak berendam..Permandangan memang cantik tapi sayang nya Pantai BNO macam di anak tiri kan (kot?!!)..sbb kemudahan awam spt tandas dan surau nya ...kotor Sedih nye..! Lupa pulak nak upload gambar2 di pantai..saya upload lain kali..
2 minggu cuti sekolah ..seronok dapat berkumpul dgn family... balik kampung pun dapat berkumpul dgn my sisters..jumpa ngan kawan lama..hmm indahnya...kalau banyak cuti lagi....hmm jangan mimpilah!! Until next post Asalamualaikum!! got to process my invoices yg dah bertimbun timbun!!

                                                       Doraemon Cake

Terlalu excited semua angle nak tunjuk.. time ni ada assistant tolong ambik gambar... siap panjat panjat kerusi lagi.. ha ha ha.. Last week masa berguru.. punya laa senang tengok my sifu mencanai fondant tu.. kali ni bila buat sendiri...berpeluh peluh menggelek fondant tu, nak angkat...terkoyak tah berapa kali..kena redo..uli,gelek semula..betul kata sifu..all this need practice..
Paling kelakar si Doraemon yg obesiti tu...maklum laa x pernah buat fondant fugurin..konon nak buat besar besar akhirnya si Doraemon tu terpaksa tido je tak boleh nak dibangunkan sbb terlalu berat..plus tak kering lg.. tak pe laa ye Moi mcm you pesan.. Doraemon gred AAA pun tak pe kan... ha ha ha ha..
Kek tu, top layer is the same chocolate cake I used before, filled with chocolate ganache and yg kat bawah tu ..yg besar tu is Kek Alunan Kasih..acually is butter cake je..tapi disebab kan dah di layer kan dgn 3 warna..dan nampak berombak tu laa sbb dinamakan sebegitu oleh penciptanya..this cake popular among bloggers dapur yg suka buat cake ...nanti saya share the recipe...but as I mentioned before I just wanted to update photo je tonight..
