angry birds cake

When Haleyna contacted me roughly 1 month before the event date, i was puzzled....What is Angry Birs?? LOL punya la glamor game ni and I dont even have a clue about it...


In order for us to make the cake and to have the feeling about the game, Then we started googling and downloading the game...proudly to say I accomplished all levels already... we are thinking hard, cemana la nak buat block ni...hehehe nak guna crispy treat tp tak pernah buat crispy treat... at last we used wafer chocolate then cover with fondant.. yeyyy I am happy with the result.

Delivered the cake at Bird Park. Haleyna happy with teh outcome...so do us... Thanks again Haleyna :)

I've made mistake

I've made mistake... a huge mistake actually...

this is a about a special cake that i've made for a special friend. when me started learning how to bake cake 4 years ago, semua sebab nak buat cake utk syahmi... syahmi punya first bday, the cake ordered from Tracey. then on syahmi second bday, me just buat simple choc cake with a topping of choc ganache. then daddy drew sponge bob...then kengkawan nengok and mula request a simple cake like that for them..and thats how the business started...

few years down the road, kami jumpa ramai customer an dkawan baru..tak pernah terniat nak jadi kan ni full time business pun... then kak zan yg dah duduk US for good encouraged me n poek utk buat betul2...kak zan suggested we further study on sugar art, kak zan siap cari kan univeristi and offer poek to stay with her family kat Virginia... that was last year... tp last November bila aruah abah ila sakit for 25 days dan lepas tu meninggal, kami fikir balik..family is more important, ila ada mak lagi...poek pun ada parents...kalau kita pegi belaja jauh jauh dgn financial yg kurang stabil, in case anything happen, macamana nak balik jenguk family.. kak zan terus bg support, buying us lots of things..sampai kadang kadang kami risau, alamak mahal nya brg ni... then ada satu kali kak zan shipping brg utk baking kami, tergamam jugak nengok harga nya... then kak zan ckp jgn risau, buat kan kak zan 1 kek , tolak 3 suku dari hutang kami dgn kak zan... until today, masih ada hutang dgn kak zan utk shipment brg2 yg first batch ni...

the cake we've made, we've sent it to gathering kawan2 kak zan... kak zan love the cake and so do us. one day ada 1 customer email ila gambar 1 kek yg dia ckp org tiru ila... to be honest kami sedar diri, siapa la kami utk ditiru kan. in the same time masa tu ayah kak zan tengah sakit tenat, walaupun tu ayah kak zan, tp ila pulak yg risau lebih2... and hari yg sama ayah kak zan meninggal... tp entah la, i've lost my mind and acted stupidly, i did letak gambar that cake kat my fb ... i've made huge mistake... the decorator of the cake really frust sbb itu idea dia sendiri but she is a very nice lady yg sudi maafkan ila...Alhamdulillah walaupun dia ada mentioned forgiven but not forgotten... she is indeed bagitau dia tak nak panjang2 kan perkara ni, Ila sungguh kagum dengan sifat2 dia yang memaafkan dan siap bagitau ila yang dia bukan jenis suka memanjang2 kan perkara sebegini, ila betul betul kagum dengan sifat dia yang mulia macam tu dan ila doa sgt2 ila juga mempunyai sifat2 terpuji seperti dia.... so before she requested it, i apologized her publicly in my fb. tp iye la kan nasi dah jadi bubur. sesungguh nya dia memang mempunyai sifat2 mahmudah yg terpuji.

its a great lesson to me... i kept crying and felt very guilty for what had happened. tp betul la kan org ckp, sekali kita buat salah walaupun tanpa disengajakan ianya akan beri kesan dan keburukan yang berpanjangan... walaupun the nice lady cakap dia dah maaf kan, ila yg rasa bersalah...setiap kali sebelum tidur, ila doa sgt the nice lady sudi maaf kan ila dengan sepenuh hati dan ikhlas, ila doa dan harap one day ila dan the nice lady can be friends. dia baik dan berfikir dgn bijak, ila harap ila dapat belajar dgn dia. tapi sebagai org yg bersalah ila tak boleh harap kan apa2. ila yang bersalah.

insyaAllah, ila akan cuba utk jadi manusia yg lebih baik. Aruah Abah pernah cakap, manusia yang baik bukan la manusia yang tak pernah buat silap, tapi manusia yang belajar dari kesilapan nya. Ila ni memang jauh dari baik, tapi ila doa sgt2 ila akan menjadi manusia yg lebih baik dan lepas ni akan berpikir dahulu sebelum mengeluarkan sebarang pendapat. Aruah Abah ckp dulu, kalau kita buat silap dan mengakuinya, dan sekiranya masih dianggap bersalah, its beyond our control jadi kita kena redha sbb kita yg bersalah.

ila tak tau samada that nice lady baca atau tak blog ila ni, mungkin x, tapi ila harap lepas ila luah kan semua ni kat blog, ila akan rasa lebih lega sbb dah lama pendam ni... pendam rasa bersalah dan anggap perkara ni dah selesai tp selagi ila tak luah kan, selagi tu hati ila tak senang...rasa dah tak tertanggung nak pendam sendiri...

InsyaAllah, ila dan poek akan mengerjakan umrah july ni... dah niat lama nak pergi umrah... makin dekat nak pergi makin takut rasanya... kalau berdosa dgn Allah, org kata senang nak dpt keampunan sebab Allah SWT Maha Pengampun dan Penyayang, tp kalau berdosa dgn manusia susah... ila doa siang malam that nice lady sudi maaf kan kesalahan ila.

Untuk that nice lady dan owner cake tersebut, dengan seikhlas hati ila minta maaf di atas ketelanjuran perbuatan ila yang melampau. Hanya Allah SWT yang mampu membalas kebaikan kalian yg sudi maaf kan saya. Untuk the nice lady decorator, ial memang nak belajar dari awak untuk jadi lebih baik dan mulia. InsyaAllah ila akan terus berdoa.

Untuk Kak Zan, takziah atas pemergian aruah ayah kak zan dan terima kasih atas all your support.

To my hubby, tq sayang sebab sudi dengar luahan perasaan saya ni setiap hari... kesian awak kan, asyik kena dengar saya cakap benda yg sama setiap hari.

To all customer, I hope the mistake I've made akan menjadikan kan I a better person, doa kan ye...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

ni entry selingan...bukan promotion utk menjual ye... syahmi and hafiz memang suka sgt mkn choc chip, so we always buy choc chip cookies from famous Amos or anyone who sells nice cookies. Hubby commented on my hobby of purchasing recipe books...hahahha suka beli buku tapi tak masak masak..cemana tu... so 2 nights ago, after maghrib syahmi requested me to bake cookies for him... so i browse thru my collection of books... and decided to give a try on this recipe from the book that I've bought from Melbourne Victoria Market. An easy recipe yet sangat sedap...
Recipe :-

115gm butter/margerine (i used butter)
50g caster sugar
110 dark brown sugar (i used normal brown sugar)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
170 g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
170g chocolate chips
55 g walnuts (syahmi not a fan of walnuts and i do not have almond, so i just put total of 225g choc chips).


Method:-
1) cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar
2) in another bowl mix egg and vanilla essence, then gradually beat into the butter mixture.
3) sift over flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and stir
4) Add the choc chips

Senang and cepat... Happy Baking!!!

Btw, this entry specially for Sity and Kak Sab.

A handbag with Love for Julie

My first ever handbag Cake... Alhamdulillah managed to do it...
Julie, a sweet lady... a repeat customer turn to be friend of mine...her hubby who adores her, wanted to have surprise party and cake for her...emailed me this pic of handbag...wohooo i never done any handbag cake before, perhaps for others it just a simple design...but for me its a huge task. but how could i say NO to Julie's hubby..Julie is such a special person to me.
Izzat had mentioned he is not sure how to celebrate Julie's bday. I suggested Flora Cafe at AmpWalk, been there once for my partner in crime (Sity) bday party, i just fall in love with the whole concept of the cafe... Izzat invited me and family to the party but we had prior commitment, which no less important than the party, its a cousins gathering at Sg Congkak. Anyway, thanks Izzat for inviting us.

Julie had called me and thanked me for suggesting the venue of the party as well the cake which obviously she loved. I am just flattered. She is so lucky for having a sweet romantic husband like Izzat.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!! May you happy always.
