My Hunny Cuppies

Ahgghh..(sigh) Its been a while since i visited here. I miss this page and i miss you. These Winnie cuppies always made me smile. It reminded us to be happy, to make someone happy and to be just who we are. A reason for me to call this my Hunny cuppies, just because   winnie the bear loves his hunny. And I love making these, i love baking and smell the vanilla,cinnamon and sweet aroma in the air. It just complete my day seeing a happy creation and a happy and satisfied customer.

So no matter how busy my schedule  my wish are to make someone smile today just like my Hunny cuppies. A fondant and a chocolate flavor, Glorious day!

Happy baking everyone.. I wish u joy in your life...:-)

Gotcha cake

Another couple who tied the knot in February 2012. The Bride Judy is from Kota Kinabalu Sabah and worked in Kuala Lumpur where she met her husband. She send me a photo of the wedding cake that they favor and the topper!  Since the topper were not available here in Kota Kinabalu she brought it all the way from Kuala Lumpur. Judy and her husband is the first couple i work with that goes all the way to add humor in their first day as husband and wife. I would say that is a pretty good sign to start a marriage i supposed..:-)

Sample photo... Her only instruction was of her wedding color theme which is purple and white and cake topper had to be the Gotcha topper!

Haha.. "Gotcha topper" now belong to me to be rent out to the next lovely couple.:D.. 

Judy and Johnson may God Bless you and live happily ever after as husband and wife and be blessed with children and grandchildren running around your feet..:-) Thank you for your trust in me as your wedding cake baker.

Everyone till we meet again.. Happy baking!

Tiramisu

I am a person who collect recipes whenever i sees them. I will keep it till one day i might tried on one of them..and always that will never happen. That one day will turn to months and years and recipe book still be there collecting dust.

After watching Julie and Julia, i resolute to bake at least one recipe out of the many books or photocopy recipe or even in that messy compilation of  handwritten recipe. After flipping the pages.. i decided  on a Tiramisu .. o yes the delicate Tiramisu. The recipe that i copied does not contain any alcohol and did not use the usual mascarpone cheese. The result is just as heavenly as any tiramisu and i will definitely use this recipe again.

 My family gave it a thumbs up as a sign of their approval. Recipe courtesy Sondra Lee. Thank you Sondra Lee i found the easiest tiramisu recipe ever and still taste rich and creamy.

Romantic in shades of Pink

I just have one word for this - Gorgeous! Everything about this wedding from the bride, the family, the setting, decorations, flowers and of course the cake is just GORGEOUS. It begun in a simple tele inquiry about the wedding cake last November (bride working in Kuala Lumpur) to the day i met her (January 2012) and on her BIG Day(February 2012).. she is simply Gorgeous not just in her look but also in her personality. Her groom is one lucky fella...

The snooker and rummy cake

 The Rummy table - favorite retirement hobby for former headmaster Mr. Nicholas Leong turning 80years and going strong.

A birthday game for Nizman.. 

Two of the favorite game for man and woman regardless of age and place. A fun and exciting games to pass the time. A favorite game for my father too. This game brought him self satisfaction. A target or goal that he set for himself. A test of patience. A mind boggling game. A calculative game. It was a game that kept him focused. A game that brought him closer to his friends at the end of his beautiful life. So it is a game for the retiree i supposed and like Mr Nicholas Leong my father was a teacher too. Snooker really begins at 40 after all.. 

Rummy and snooker you are men best friend...when life seems to slow down a bit, the mind will never rest because winning is the name of the game.. 

Happy caking everyone and lets get to know the mystery of this game
