Busy Bees ....

Being very bz lately..(masa bila I tak busy ye). Yesterday our turned again (the second time this month) for morey. I tried Rima's Green Carpet Cake...It was wonderful..can call it as killer recipe k. I did not take pic coz rupa dia a bit ugly la..he..he..not really I finished it nearly iftar tak sempat...and the cake was sent to surau and all gone..alhamdulillah. I sent it together with another cake..yap my fav marble cake and now I can grade myself a bit better with marbling..bling!

And know what from suka-suka now I sampai tak terbuat dah order for the crunchy cookies. Started with King bawak pi office for informal gathering..and now his friends duk order..I told him nanti I tak terbuat..The lil princess nowadays having new hobby la..climbing..got to monitor her closely!..Anyway yesterday I managed to bake 4 kilos another 10 kilos to go ( I am selling it base on kilos coz malas nak layan perfect shapes)...thanks to Rima ye...halal ye resepi tu...*wink*. But dah 3 hari my kitchen a bit tunggang langgang lah...King on leave and having painting project..sigh.. orang sibuk nak buat kuih ni.....

I showed him Rima's latest Almond cookies and as Almond is his fav so he made me promise that I will bake for him nanti...nasib lah I ni isteri mithalikan..ha..ha...angguk je lah! and my list of what to do still continue...tak gerak2. Cik Ani and Cik Ati (King's aunties) lak suka suki cakap kat I..."whatever cookies yang you buat for your house...make it for us jugak..and I nak cake ni..ni.".main tunjuk-tunjuk je tapi I love both of them so I akan try my best !..huawa...wa...Mak punye lagi, MIL lagi...so the list will keep on continue......(Rima detail of GNC k..)
Theabove pi is Biskut Nestum got it from majalah Rasa...I need to redo again coz taste wise macam ada something yang tak perfect (thats y I never trust recipe in the Malay's Mag...:)) So let me try again then only can post the recipe.....

Trio Marble Cake

Today was busy baking cookies raya in the morning. Managed to do 2 types..Rima's Choc Chips and Biskut Nestum. Going to talk about it in the next entry. We went to see the two boys in the evening..today. Eriq, my first just finished his first trial exam..he took 10 subjects. This week hes taking the 2nd trial..The first one was meant for all boarding schools in Malaysia. The second one meant for schools in Wilayah Persekutuan...I am nervous! SPM will be in another 98 days....And today we've being discussing 'bout what will be his next step...I suggest him to take Chemical Engineering as his first choice and Telecommunication Engineering as his second...Doctor? Cannot la he hates Bio!...As a mother I have to pray hard for him...Doa Ibu!

From Cheras we headed to Putrajaya..my third aka Qobb. PMR will be in 32 days...Mama nervous..nervous..and scared. Previously..he was too playful...busy with his rugby tourney .. I am praying hard for him... may he had enough time to catch up with all the studies. From Putrajaya we stopped at Masjid Wilayah in Jalan Duta to break our fast..alhamdulillah..we got to rush home coz King wanted to finish his tadarus with his friends after terawih prayer.

I brought along Trio Marble Cake ..can get from Rima's (Rima tq for the recipe..the cake was wonderful..I like the coloring !) and the Marble Cheese Brownies. And of course their fav choco chips cookies...Mama hope they will succeed...Insyaallah.

Morey Muffins

Muffins..muffins

Wednesday waz very bzzzzzz. Yap it was our turn to send food to surau for 'morey'. At first no idea what to bake then the boys suggested muffins. They said their friends like the muffins. I tried muffins from Rinnchan and Hanieliza. Then of course I marble them...Made 100 of them...phhhhhhhhuuuuuuuh so tired.

Princess.... the food tester for the day

As for our iftar I tried Rima's Puding Roti Marble (marble lagi hik..hik).

The Puding Roti was marvelous and soooo easy to prepare. Will take a peek at Rima's today what to bake...Saturday we r going home to FSR to break fast with MIL & FIL. Hem..still thinking what to bring along???

The ABC Puding Roti...

Yesterday.... again I was bzzzz....I went to the dentist due to having little swollen on my face. Cam ner nak raya ni kalau muka bengkak kan..The dr said ada new calcium deposit somewhere in between my tooth and they said they need to refer me to Ampang Puteri coz they don't have the proper equipment to remove the calcium deposit. Hem...cam ner I paling takut gi dentist he..he..ni nak suruh gi Hospital lak...Hem..told them i will discuss with husband first....

Putrajaya

What a day! Early in the morning after sahur I went to Putrajaya ... got to send Qobb back to school. Its compulsory to attend the Perkampungan Ilmu organized by his school. We reached there around 7.20 ( we left Rawang around 6.15 a.m) I have no idea that early in the morning Putrajaya will be just like KL..jammed. Yap totally stopped..not moving at all!
Ha..ha..pity mama..sleepy in the early hour...driving alone ish..ish...

I used bigger pan so the cake also bigger...Qobb insisted Oreo base!

Ni sarang semut ke sarang lebah?

Anyway, yesterday I managed to bake for Qobb the cotton cheese cake (Rima's) and biskut sarang semut of Hanieliza. Ration to bring back to hostel! Pity Qobb....its still school holiday yet he got to attend the camp.

Kek Lapis Nutella

Hari ni ada orang terlebih rajin...Had been thinking about this cake for so long..macam unfinished business lak kalau tak buat knowing that all the boys (ni termasuk papa boys ler..) love NUTELLA...they all ni obsessed ngan NUTELLA ni...Got this recipe from my cyber sifu la..Rima. All the ingredients needed semua ada....so apa lagi mama pun bertapa lah dalam dapur!

Danke Rima..will try yang lain-lain next!

King cakap still need to improvise the layer...ada tinggi ada rendah he..he...mesti ada jawapan from me kan...I cakap coz of the nutella dia jadi tinggi rendah ha..ha...I should have weigh them kan baru la dia perfect each layerkan? Tu next project la...My mistake though I tak baca recipe thoroughly...I forgot to change the grill mode during the last layer...:( Bila dah ingat baru betul kan..he..he

I told them ni untuk dua hari nye supply no need for mama to buat kuih everyday for iftar he..he..Tell you what..sshhh.. auntie I tu a.k.a Cik Ani tu tersangat lah suka juga dengan cake yang berlapis-lapis so...tiada esok bagimu la wahai kek...:) Anyway this is my Self Satisfaction..even though rupa dia banyak kekurangan tapi I am PROUD hee..hee..coz I made it myself! Bravo Mama...

Marble Twist Roll

Tadaaa....ni lah dia my Marble Twist Roll...a bit comot...hem can say tak pe..nanti cuba lagi wat yang cantik-cantik. Banyak dugaan nak siapkan Twist Roll ni.....Can get the recipe from Rima's (under bread category) tak payah nak tukar apa-apa semua dah perfect..Danke Rima. Tapi I malu la h coz mine comot...I will try again to make it perfect! Or can go here (cari Resepi Roti category..then ada Marble Twist Roll) with more pictures on how to prepare the twist. Tapi yang ni she mentioned kena tambah tepung and few other things...I just ikut Rima's resepi perfecto! My mistake ..I letak banyak sangat chocolate paste so masa the last step dia pecah...ggrrrr. At first I susun dalam pan nak bagi panjang macam Rima buat..then I changed my mind...coz nampak comot sangat..I buat yang flower design....And of course I boleh buat twist while doing other things with the help of Mr BM ni...

Mr BM

Helpful gak...bukan King belikkan tau...this one I tukar coupon Cosway dolu dolu he..he...Dah lama terperam tak usik-usik....dulu busy kan..dengan kerja and kedai now dah jadi House Manager full time so apa lagi reason I tak nak guna benda ni.....Sepatutnya project ni I buat Saturday.. nite. Went to Rima's blog tengok Marble Twist Roll tu mangancam la...thinking nak buat dah lama tapi tak sempat..(reason). Well at that time dah nearly 9.30 pm..assuming myself LMC Rawang tutup lambat kot nak puasa ni...need to buy the red bean paste la! Nak buat malam ni jugak..I was telling myself. Dalam hujan tu I pergi jugak to the shop....:( Tough luck mama...hhee kedai dah tutup hampeh!) Frust betul.....So Sunday morning lepas campak all the ingredients into Mr BM I went to LMC...

You know what happened when you went into bakery shop..he....he..nak beli red bean paste je..then nampak chocolate paste..then nampak pandan paste...he..he.. so can guessed apa lagi I beli !

Did I mention yang the weekend was very boring as King was not around...I picked Eriq from school Thursday nite as he was having fever..all the students from ASIS that having fever were sent to HUKM to do H1N1 screening. The warden told us they have 4 positive cases ...nauzubillah....HUKM was scary..as you walked around you will see people wearing mask! Alhamdulillah Eriq clear...Kat rumah Champ la pulak having asthma attacked. Got to monitor jangan sampai demam...got to separate them! Alhamdulillah today everything back to normal.

As the boys ada rumah (except for Qobb) my mak datang rumah Saturday morning with all her equipments... nak buat apa?...He..heee roti canai. The kids love her roti canai!...(All the dulang, kuali,sardin, bawang...macam kat rumah I tak de he..he...just that dia tak familiar guna barang orang kot...) Then I bagi dia rasa the Cake Lapis Hawflakes..dia kata sedap tak sampai hati lak I coz yang ada 3 pieces je kot. So I pun steam lah another cake for her...dia ckp nak color terang sikit...so can see the result he...he...so colourful ha....This time I tak letak flakes on every lapis..selang kan...

Masa ni lum potong the edges....fresh from steamer!

Then got to run attending kenduri kat rumah neighbour..

And besides Marble Twist Roll on Sunday morning tu I finished up the cookies order sekali dengan packaging coz dia kata nak letak dalam hamper....Then ingat lak King nak balik petang ni cookies fav dia dah habis...buat lagi he..he..(Macam baking marathon)

Ni yang packaging untuk hamper...

I was done with my baking around 3.30pm kot (inclusive of pizza and chicken wings...for lunch )Packed everything....need to send Eriq back to school and picked King kat Bangi. Then from Bangi we went to Putrajaya to see Qobb...bagi dia makan the twist Roll.."Sedapnya ma....nanti kalau Qobb balik mama wat lagi ye.." he said. Then I remind him cuti ni puasa Qobb..ala...ingat nak makan puas2..Kesian...:( And today nak buat Twist Roll lagi but using Red Bean lak....ha..ha...practise will make perfectkan?
Yesterday was a very lonnnnnnnnnng day. On the way back King told me got to go to Shah Alam to collect something from Pak Nah..aggrrr....the route will be a bit far. On the way to Bukit Jelutong saw this yellow advert written .."METROJAYA JUALAN GUDANG" he..he...pe lagi..sampai lupa H1N1 .. avoid pergi tempat orang ramai! Nasib dah nearly masuk maghrib so cepat2 keluar from the gudang he..he...we reached BJ around 9.00 pm and knowing Pak Nah...he directed us terus gi San Fransisco Pizza..dinner there.Dia ingat semua ada...sorry la Pak Nah yang ada Mama and Papa je....nowadays princess tak nak ikut dia cakap..."I tak suka gi far away..I love home I....") And thank you Pak Nah & Mak Nah for the lovely baju kurung they bought for princess...princess nak call you nak cakap " I dah tall la....." the kain a bit pendek!

The Joy of Baking

A zillion thanks to Rima..Danke..Danke...lost the touch of Deutsch already. yg senang ingat Guten Tag je lah ! I fell in love with her baking..ha..ha..Usually I buat cake bila ada order... meaning that you will never try the new recipes... always follow the one that you have coz scared cake tak jadi... but after reading her blog I remember the philosophy 'The Joy of Baking"......All this while forgotten how to enjoy when baking coz I am always rushing!

This cake called "Milky Marble Cake" from Chef Norzailina Nordin. When I went thru Chef's recipe tak teringin pun nak buat tapi bila I tengok Rima baked this cake teringin la pulak...so here the outcome! But she's too fast, I baru siap satu dia dah bake another two..huaaaaa. Must be a superwoman la with 13 months old baby you managed to do everything! Salute...Next I must try her pancakes...looks so yummy!

This one Samperit Emulco...Got the recipe from Hanieliza, she made the marble one but I transformed jadi cocoa. King loves this one..he..he...King macam terkejut balik ada cake and cookies ha..ha...But...tengok apa jadi kat bawah ni.....

The lovely princess showing her boredom! For neglecting her, I got this! HHHHHHHuaaaa. It took me nearly 2 hours to clean the house again........macam Titanic rumah dia buat!
