Wedding Cake Disaster

Salam.. will share the story later...hmm kecewa kecewa...but alhamdulillah it was done on time..

1st February 2013.....entering the second month of 2013..subhanallah cepatnya masa berjalan!

Sambung cerita tertunggak..kek ni utk Ain ,anak my friend Yati, neighbour depan rumah, kawan baik dari kecik sampai sekarang, kawan sekelas masa darjah 1& 2, kawan main nyorok nyorok, main rounders, berenang dalam sawah, kolam itik!! Kawan tangkap belalang , panjat pokok jambu, tangkap ikan...hmmm panjang sungguh listingnya kalau nak di ceritakan!! Pengalaman paling seronok masa kecik kecik dulu.. Yati memang lebih daring dari saya..kalau part tangkap ikan ..dia berani tangkap ikan keli atau apa saja..saya ni penakut sikit..kalau depan mata ada belut atau ikan keli ,saya akan jerit minta tolong dia tangkapkan!! ha ha ha kelakar betul!! Tapi sesunguhnya kawan saya ni seorang SURVIVOR!.Dia berjaya membesar dan mendidik anak anak dengan sempurna walaupun banyak liku liku kehidupan yang dia harungi..I love you Yati!

Ok back to cerita 'Disaster' .. kek ni bagai dilanda gempa bumi...lari dari tapak asal..jadilah senget...

Asal nya memang nak cantum lapisan atas tu bila sampai kampung...tapi terfikir pulak ..what if..jalan jamm, atau terlewat sampai nanti x sempat pulak nak pasang yang setingkat lagi tu...so I just topped up the second 

cake. Dari Kelana Jaya sampai Melaka...lebih kurang 2 jam..memang banyak kereta sepanjang perjalanan sbb cuti panjang...Maulidur Rasul + Thaipusam. En Hubby bawa kereta punya lahhh laju..

sesekali tekan break mengejut... kek saya pun terkejut....ish ish ish.. 

The bottom is Chocolate Mud Cake filled with Strawberry Ganache, buttercream and marshmallow,

i follow resepi Paula Deen click here Missisippi Mud Cake.

And on top is Red Velvet Cake + Filling Chocolate ganache & buttercream, 

Cik Pengantin sebenarnya nak Rainbow Cake.. tapi disebab kan keadaan 'my little black oven' tu

yang dah kurang 'user friendly' kena lah kita switch kek lain... jangan marah ye Ain...nanti kalau panjang umur ..Birthday anak Ain nanti busu buatkan Rainbow Cake ye..;-))

Memang frust kalau kek yang kita buat jadi tak sempurna, nak present kat Tuan nya pun segan, Yati & Ain...minta maaf banyak banyak!! Walaupun rupa dah cacat sikit , I hope korang enjoy the cake yang memang I made especially for you using all the good quality ingredients!!

And these cupcakes ...pengiring Kek yg senget tu..Red Velvet & Chocolate Moist.

 Ain & Zuhair Selamat Pengantin Baru!

This one pun sempat buat sebelum balik Melaka..utk my emak..sbb  kalau balik kg dia mesti tanya

kau tak buat kek?.. kalau balik tangan kosong tu.. mmg serbasalah lah jadi nya..

Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Chewy Fudgy Brownies

Salam dear all..

I wanted to share this great recipe which I have tried last weekend. The taste is up to my satisfactory, my kids love it and it's really worth trying...but as usual with a little bit modification.. he he..

 problem just..gambar tak cantik...of course laa guna camera handphone saja...

 puas laa edit..this is the best laa rasanya..iye lah nak edit pun x berapa expert.. 

Got the recipe from click here Thanks Aiko for sharing all the great recipes and tutorial.. your blog really inspires me!

I copy and paste the recipe again for my future reference...will sure repeat making this brownies again!
As I mentioned earlier I made some modification.. it's all in the PURPLE FONT.

1¼ cups all-purpose flourI
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder   i used Van Houten 
11 ounces (311.7g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped  i used Berryl's Dark Compound
1 cup (8 ouces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder   i used NESCAFE
1½ cups granulated sugar   i switched this to light brown sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar    and this i  switched to granulated sugar
5 eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

i added  :

1/2 cup Chunky Peanut Butter

3/4 cups Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup roasted almond flakes, or nibs 

Here's how:
(1) Melt together butter, dark chocolate and coffee powder in a pan set over a saucepan with simmering water.

(2) Once melted turn off the heat and add white and brown sugar.

(3) Mix until completely combined. Bring the mixture to room temperature. 

(4) In the meantime, line your baking pan with Cut Rite or Parchment Paper. The book requires a 9x13 inches pan but I don't have one. The nearest was a 9x12. That should do :)

i used my 9 x 9 ..ok saja..
(5) In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, salt and cocoa powder. Sift or dry whisk and set aside.
(6) Once the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature. Add 3 eggs. Whisk until just combined, no streaks of eggs left. Then add the remaining 2 eggs. Add in the vanilla extract.

(7) Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the chocolate mixture. Fold using a spatula (do not use a whisk) only until combined.

(8) Spread evenly on the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Make sure to rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.Do not overmix and do not overbake. 

for no 8... I divided the mixture into half, spread evenly the first half  on the pan.Then

I sprinkle the Peanut Butter on top of the mixture....i used a teaspoon--scoop 1/2 teaspoon

and dropped it  on the mixture. Then spread the other 1/2 mixture on top of  it.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips and almod flakes.

For this trip..i hv to bake the Brownies for 45 minutes because 'My Little Black Oven' 

has started giving me problems...huu sedih..selalu buat layer cake ...buka dan

tutup buka tutup..now pintu oven i dah longgar.. kena letak lesung batu kat pintu tu...eii 

kesian.. ;-(

Sambal Goreng Ikan Bilis (My Style)

Asalamualaikum,

Hari ni nak share something different..x kena mengena dengan baking.. my familys'
favourite ...Sambal Goreng...boleh tahan lama kalau dimasak dengan
betul / sampai kering.Dan sambal ni jugalah salah satu masakan terawal yg saya belajar dari my sister..
kalau x silap masa tu saya darjah 6 ...then later..belajar buat Sambal Sardin..Asam Pedas...tapi
masa belajar dulu tak lah tumpukan 100% perhatian...main main aje..Sekarang ni bila dah jadi offical
tukang masak kat rumah kena lah masak betul betul..supaya sedap di makan..dan x membazir..
Yang sibuk minta resepi ni..adalah sorang kawan saya tu...walau dah ajar 10 x pun tiap tiap kali nak
masak Sambal Goreng ni mesti nak 'hello' tanya resepi...

Last weekend saya 'ada masa' nak buat sambal ni dan snap photo sekali..tapi guna camera phone murah
saja ye..x de apa-apa editing pun...dari phone camera terus masuk blog...
saya x guna sukatan ..berapa gram / kilo..sbb masakan macam ni..saya estimate saja ikut kepala dan
ikut logiklah quantity saya nak masak banyak mana... tapi 'my dear kawan' tu boleh lah ikut sukatan
dalam gambar tu...and 1 tip ..mesti /wajib guna ikan bilis yg good quality tau... Jangan pulak malas, beli
ikan bilis yg siap dikopek...keras macam papan tu...sure x sedap lah sambal tu!! So kalau ada sesiapa
yg dare dan sudi nak mencuba...silakan..

Bahannya..

-1 mangkuk sederhana Cili tu di kisar dgn 2,3 ulas bawang merah+ 1 ulas bawang putih

dan sedikit belacan(optional)

Ikan Bilis

1 + 1/2 mangkuk kecil Minyak Masak

1 labu bawang besar

           Ikan bilis -direndam, bersihkan kemudian di henyak / tumbuk sedikit (jgn sampai hancur)

process tumbuk ikan bilis ni..cara saya..sifu x ajar...

Bawang besar di hiris halus

fuhh...saksikan kuali hitam manis saya yang dah 15 tahun berjasa!! he he
- panas kan kuali , masukkan 1 mangkuk kecil minyak masak tadi..

-masukkan semua hirisan bawang besar tadi..biar hingga 

naik bau kemudian masukkan bahan-bahan lain.. 

- masukkan cili kisar , ikan bilis,

-1sudu teh garam halus,

-1/4 sudu teh MSG ( ajinomoto..pun optional but i used!)

-1/2 sudu teh gula ( pun optional---saya x selalu gunakan)

-boleh gunakan api yg besar sehingga sambal

agak kering ...

tambahkan lagi 1/2 mangkuk minyak...

perlahankan api...kacau sehingga sambal kering dan

ikan bilis garing..

Tu.. dia ...our breakfast last weekend semua homemade

• Bubur Nasi
• Sambal Goreng
• Daging Masak Kicap
• Scramble egg + mushroom

dan Karipap Daging..jom makan!!

Fondant Cake- Hantaran

Cake : Chocolate Moist + Buttercream Filling

Deco : Fondant

Kek utk hantaran pertunangan Iskandar anak bujang Cik Leha

Wan Leha/ Wan Yah is the babysitter yg jaga Hannah & Zikry

Yang di bawah ni pun Chocolate Moist..

 Made this cake utk hantaran perkahwinan Along

my brother in law.

 this cake was delivered to Kedah, the wedding was held in Baling Kedah..

jauh ...

So..for 'safety' I hv to make sure that we will start our journey before the sun shine!!

Kek fondant ni lecehnya ..mesti dok kat tempat dingin sentiasa..tempat panas dia akan

berpeluh...

Macam biasa I always think of the design last minute! Google sana sini dapat lah idea ni..
