My Brother's Day

Asslamualaikum....
Just to share the things that I've done for my brother's wedding day which was held at my kampung ,Chuping ,Perlis on 17 March 2012.

I have been commissioned by my Mak to do wedding favour and with that I made these Chocolate Chip Muffins.Altogether 1000pcs....phew...soo tiring ,alhamdullilah my maksu & her daughter in-law gave their hands on it...kalau tak terkelepet lah cik nurul sensorang taw...he..he..I used Nigella Lawson recipe and it was so yummy and the preparations to make the muffin is easy but the bored part is to wait an array of trays masuk dalam oven my mak yang dah dihujung nyawa gitu....ahaks....

Gumuks-gumuks muffin ku....

Simple packaging....bab packaging ni saya mmg surrender....yang ni my nieces and nephew tolong buatkan....

 My mak's oven....sangat berjasa...she has served my mak for almost 20 years....dan sekarang tempreture dia mmg dah out....imagine for these muffins the original recipe stated 180Celcius for baking process but here I've to put 50Celcius only....terlampau panas..muhaha..tapi at least oven nie lah mak saya buat berniaga untuk bantu ayah saya membesarkan kami semua..hu..hu...

Sugar cookies decorated with fondant-made these cookies for hantaran

Tepak Sireh cake for hantaran- my ayah selama 2 malam berturut-turut temankan saya menyiapkan cake ni and sambil tu layan lagu keroncong ha..ha..

 Simple decoration for the hantaran...almaklumlah kakak pengantin nie keras tangan...

 Wedding cake that I made for my brother...true story he..he...I only decorated the cake with buttercream but the cake was baked by my baking friend,kak Nina .... ha..ha.. bukan apa,my mak's oven dah bengong sebab dah bakar 1000pcs++ muffins so nak tak nak terpaksa minta kak Nina tolong buatkan...nasib bak kak Nina sanggup buat..last minute punya order....dia pun kata kalau decorated cake dia tak sanggup tapi because cake saja...tu yang dia buatkan juga...thanks kak..(gambar tu bukan dari camera saya, my cousin yang ambik)

My adik with his bride.....Selamat pengantin baru Syah & Yanti....Semoga berbahagia hingga keakhir hayat...Amin.

Kek Tepak Sireh

 

Made this cake for my brother's wedding gift a.k.a hantaran
The cake was Tesco fruit cake..he..he...cheating....I didn't have time to bake the cake and to make it easy I just bought it...senang cerita...I just decorate the cake with my homemade fondant.....
I didn't bring much of my decorating stuff and I just used what ever available at my Mother's pantry...
The daun Sireh was made from fondant which I used real daun sireh to get the leaf effects then I dust it with edible moss green colour powder.
The roses and the leaf was made using peggy porshen method which doesn't use any cutter.
Only the bunga pinang I used the real one and the rest is totaly made from fondant.
Everyone was terkejut when my mother told them it was a cake...he..he...berbaloi bersenkang mata selama 2 hari menyiapkan kek ni...almaklumlah time umar and Aishah tidur baru boleh decorate the cake...ok later I will upload more picture on my brother's wedding day...

Red Velvet Cake

Made this Red Velvet cake for my good friend ,Siti Zuraidah ..she pay me a visit with her family today and dah lama tak jumpa dia and last time we meet was last year when she gave birth to her 3rd child..... hmm almost 1 year he..he...we both now venture into same occupations, Domestic Engineer he..he..bukan senang taw nak dapat kerja nie...suami izinkan baru dapat..

Ok back to the cake I used new recipe for cream cheese frosting and it was really delicious and without feeling any guilt I have 2 slices....muhaha..yummy..yummy and even Umar finished 1 slice cake by himself...

Simple decorations....bake the sponge cake on 10.30pm(ni kes my kiddies dah tidur baru boleh bake) and decorate the cake on 7am the next day ....My BFF nak mai awal rumah saya tu yang kena decorate awal...nasib baik juga Umar & baby Aishah tak bangun tidur lagi..phew...macam lipas kudung menyiapkan cake dan juadah sampingan(meehoon goreng ja he..he..)..

Kek Alunan Kasih

Kek Alunan Kasih....

Dah lama teringin nak buat dan semalam saya buat untuk kawan saya ,Nor sebagai menghargai jasa beliau menolong saya dalam masa berpantang ....harap Nor suka ya...
Kek ni sedap pada saya kerana rasanya yang lemak manis dan keistimewaan kek ini terletak pada lapisan koko dan jaluran beralun yang memisahkan setiap lapisan kek itu.....
Terima kasih pada pemilik resepi Puan Mastura Yasak(FB)...saya ambil resepi ni blog yang fames he..he..siapa lagi kalau bukan Che Mat Gebu

BAHAN-BAHANNYA :-)
5 biji telur gred "A"
250 gram mentega(saya guna Anchor salted)
2 1/2 cawan tepung gandum*
1 camca teh baking powder*(*disatukan dan diayak)
1 1/2 cawan gula halus
1 cawan susu cair (saya letak 1/2 cawan ja)
Serbuk koko secukupnya
1 st Vanilla Essence
Pewarna makanan pink,orange dan biru

CARA MEMBUATNYA :-)

1. Panaskan oven pada suhu 175C, lenser acuan berukuran 8 inci x 8 inci x 3 inci dengan mentega dan alas dasarnya dengan kertas minyak. Lenser juga kertas tadi. Ketepikan.
2. Putar mentega dengan gula halus hingga berkrim, masukkan telur satu persatu dan terus memutar hingga kembang. Masukkan susu cair dan esen vanilla, putar sebati.
3. Pada kelajuan perlahan, masukkan tepung sedikit demi sedikit hingga habis, gaul rata. Bagi adunan tadi kepada 3 bahagian dan setiap bahagian tadi diberi pewarna. Kacau rata untuk setiap bancuhan.
4. Tuang 1 bahagian dalam tin kek tadi, ratakan (terpulang pada anda nak guna bancuhan yang mana satu dulu). Kemudian ayak serbuk koko atas bancuhan pertama tadi, rata2. Tuang pulak 1 bahagian lagi, perlahan2 ratakan. Ayak lagi serbuk koko rata2 dan tuang bahagian terakhir, ratakan.
5. Bakar selama 45 minit atau hingga masak, yang ni bergantung pada oven masing yea. Bila kek masak, sejukkan sekejap dan keluarkan dari tin, sejukkan sepenuhnya atas jaringan sebelum dihidangkan...

Wedding Cookies untuk Siti Nazira

 Saya buat cookies ni sebagai tanda ingatan dan hadiah buat seorang adik ditempat kerja lama saya.Majlis berlangsung semalam.
Sebelum ni dia ada minta saya buatkan wedding cake dan cookies utk wedding favor tapi saya terpaksa menolak atas kenkangan waktu dan tenaga...yelah dah ada baby kechik ni saya terpaksa surrender awal-awal...
Tapi dalam hati saya dah bertekad untuk buatkan cookies special untuk dia...dan inilah hasil nya

Simple design ja....

Saya buatkan cookies perasa vanilla dan saya hiaskan dengan royal icing perasa mint...saya letak dalam clear box dan ikat dengan benang organik....simple aja..he..he..saya tak sempat nak kelaur untuk beli kotak yang menarik...

Untuk cookies pengantin tu saya gunakan template yg saya buat sendiri dari kertas...tekap pada adunan dan potong....

Ingat nak buatkan step-step cara buat cookies pengantin tu ...mmg tak boleh sebab saya terkejar-kejar dgn baby menangis..hu..hu..maybe next time saya buatkan tutorial ya...

Secara peribadi saya tak berapa puas hati dengan hasil kerja saya kali ni...comot semacam aja...tapi saya harap Iera suka dengan pemberian saya ni...Selamat Pengantin Baru ya...Semoga berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat...AMIN...
