That cupcake temptation

November 11, 2008

cupcakemixer1

I was delighted when I spotted this. Cupcake maker toy set for baking real cupcakes! Well since it’s for ages 8 and up, I almost wanted to get one for myself. Until I read that it requires microwave steps. Argh…I do not have a microwave oven. In the end, I didn’t buy, although I am still thinking about it.  

The unsuccessful attempt

tray

Few months ago, I had blogged about searching for the donut tray. Well, I have finally got it few days ago. I managed to find it at Sun-Lik at $6.80. 
 

donuts

Wanted to see how my mini donuts would look like, with the copied recipe I got from Kitchen Capers. I decided to give a try today. Except for the flour, I did not get the recommended brand. However, half way through the mixing part, Zann asked me to play with her. I asked hb to take over. 

The results were not good. I was wondering which part went wrong. I had donut biscuits !

Maybe I will try again next time. But not so soon. *tired*

Sponge cake

April 15, 2008

Have been thinking on how to use the Hello Kitty cake mould which I bought 2 weeks ago. Bearing in mind that I can’t use it to bake higher than 140C, I decided the steaming method instead. I added a few raisins cos Zann loves it.

It turned out fine. Fortunately the hello kitty head was recognisable.
In no time, it ended up inside Zann’s tummy.

Of walnut carrot cake…

Went out to do some grocery shopping and came back home.
Feeling inspired to try baking, I had my first attempt on the walnut carrot cake.
It turned out good. The texture and the taste was there. *Happy*

What do they remind you of?
Yes, it’s that time of the year.
Very soon, we will be counting calories.

Without these buttery chock of pineapple pastries, my Chinese New Year
will not be complete. Seriously, no ba-kwa never mind
but no pineapple tarts, I will die…haha

Every year I will bake the pineapple tarts myself whenever the festival is near.
This year is no exceptional.

I just had a baking session, and had finished churned out the 1st batch.
It really took up a lot of time. But I enjoyed the baking process.
I only knew how to bake the commonly tarts where the jam are on top.
Those which has the jan wrapped inside, I haven’t tried before.

Oh dear…

Have you eva been judged or ridiculed by?
Have you eva been ‘chased’ to answer questions?
Were you judged from what u have written inside the forum?
Is that considered provoking or concerning?

Yes. In my natural ‘form’, I’m a reactive person
and sensitive to words. Words which carried sarcasm in the lines.

Sometimes, there is power in words which can hurt.

So, tell me if you have been there before.

How would you feel if you are me ?
