This was a last minute cake. A two tier. The top layer was a fruit cake and the bottom a vegetarian chocolate cake.

Happy 21st Anniversary, BlastMaster!

The last cake for 2009

TV3 Kid's School Attack program had its 3rd anniversary Splash Bash Party at the Sunway Lagoon last weekend.

I was invited to join in the fun as well as make the cake for the celebration. My kids had a great time in the water. There were lots of activities: face painting, clowns entertaining the young ones, beach soccer, water polo, and cheerleaders doing their thing.




Food and drinks were provided.

Also present were characters from Upin and Ipin, the Milo and Sunway Lagoon mascots.

The cake was cut by Upin and Ipin.

This cake was made for TV3's Jom Heboh event held at the Bukit Jalil stadium recently. Orange cake with butter icing.

Pretty in Pink

Last Saturday was my kids' taekwondo grading. It was also the instructors' daughter's 5th birthday.

I was asked to make two cakes; one for the birthday girl and the other to celebrate birthdays of all students who were born in the month of November.

The celebration started after the grading. Dr Clown entertained the kids. There were games, lucky draw and prizes for all the kids and lots of food. It was a potluck do. I made an extra cake for the potluck.

Jagoh, that's what we are!

My kids had their taekwondo grading over the weekend. Parents were asked to bring something for the potluck after the grading. I offered to make a cake, of course.

My son is now in the Poom belt category while my gals got upgraded to Yellow I. Way to go, kids!

We are the Champions!

Last weekend was a busy one for me. My son took part in a two-day taekwondo tournament. He participated in two events; team and individual. He won gold for both events. Way to go, darling!

His coach asked me to bake a cake to celebrate the club's win on the second day. BTW, Jagoh is the name of the club. How apt a name for a club of champs!

The cake was gone in less than five minutes. Here you see the kids going for seconds:

Overall, Jagoh won second prize. They won a trophy and a cheque worth RM5,ooo. Congratulations. You are on the right track, Jagoh!

Inspirasi TV3

This cake was made for TV3's 25th anniversary concert on Saturday. It was a chocolate cake.

Different kind of baking

Weekends seem to be the busiest time for me. My friend Sakthi wanted to make some cookies for Deepavali (this weekend). She wanted two cookies and we decided on ghee biscuits and pineapple jam tarts.

Since we baked them, I decided to write about it in my blog. Armed with all the ingredients, my daughter and I went over to Sakthi's place. I decided to make my cookies here as well.
We started off with the ghee biscuits. We finished making them quite fast. It was fast because we had six pairs of hand; sakthi and her two gals, her aunt, my daughter and myself.

The pineapple tarts were a bit tricky cos it needed a lot more work. We had to press out the dough and then roll it over the jam. The kids did most of them and they were much faster than the adults.

In fact, the gals enjoyed making it so much that they were seeing the $$$$ sign by the end of it all. They wanted to start a business doing jam tarts. They started making plans to market it and the whole works on how to set up their business.They were quite disappointed when we told them that they can only do this during the school holidays.

So much for the Deepavali cookies...

I also baked two cakes; a birthday cake for Chitra's mom and a company's 10th anniversary cake.
I found the anniversary cake very challenging. They wanted the company building on the cake. This is my first attempt at constructing a building out of cake. I covered the cake with fondant and then iced it.

The cake had an indent in the middle. Even with dowell rods, the building was slanting a bit.
Decorating this cake was not as easy as I thought, but one thing I know is that I gave it my best shot. Maybe next time I need more time to work on projects like these.
