Salam everyone! Last Saturday was a blast. We finally opened our 1st desserts booth which was organised by Bazaar ohh Bazaar. Alhamdulillah everything went pretty well and we also planned to join the bazaar again next month  in May Insyaallah. 

Since we love vintage, cute, and pretty stuff, we decided to make a 'dessert table' concept for our dessert booth. We also decide to create a theme for next bazaar. Maybe in different color? depending on my creativity. heheh..

The desserts that we were selling; Hummingbird cake, Rainbow cake, Twix Brownies, Black chocolate cupcakes, Red Velvet cupcakes, Vanilla cupcakes, macarons and delicious soft and chewy cookies which was made by our friend, Sarah. 

Here I would like to thank everyone who came and gave support to us. 

We will try to update our activities as frequent as possible, as we are still trying to manage our time in between blogging and baking. But we can always keep in touch on Facebook for more picture updates! =D

Here's some of the photos that was taken during the event. For the next and upcoming event, we plan to make different type of desserts, just to create varieties and more fun. Hope you guys will like it! or you can  give us suggestion for the menu =)

Healthy Bread

Salam everyone! Today I wanna share one of my favorite bread recipe with all of you. It is called 'Light Oat Bread'. Very easy to make. no muss, no fuss! hehe.. in the original recipe they uses a bread maker machine. But dont panic, I dont have those stuff as well. I only use a hand mixer then just use ur hand to knead the dough. You'll still get the light & fluffy bread. So, dont worry =) But I'll definitely try to get my dream mixer (kitchen aid) one day! Insyaallah.. So here's the recipe. I hope u guys will like it! Happy baking!

Light Oat Bread - allrecipes.com

Ingredients:

- 1 1/4 cup warm water

- 2tbs Margerine ( I used butter spread)

- 1tsp salt

- 3 cups all purpose flour

- 1/2 cup rolled oats

- 2tbs brown sugar

- 1 1/2tsp active dry yeast

Directions:

1. Add ingredients to bread machine pan in order recommended by ur manufacturer. Use regular light setting.

2. However, if you are making it manually, just combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then, mix the ingredients with mixer, using dough hooks until it becomes a nice dough. But if u dont have the dough hooks, u can always use ur hand.

3.Cover the dough and let it rest about 1hr or until the the dough has doubled the sizes.

4. Knead the dough again around 5mins and place it in a greased baking pan. Cover the dough with towel and let it rest again for 30mins.

5. Bake the dough at 200c for 20-30mins or until the surface has browned.

Valentines promotion is over

Salam,

Tomorrow will be the last day for Valentines cupcakes and macarons promotion. I hope everyone will enjoyed it. So far Ive received positive comments from the customers, only some of the cupcakes were dry. Im really sorry and will try to improve in future. Maybe I only used to bake in small quantity, but will take note every of your comments.

Anyway, thank you so much for your genuine feedback and support. I really appreciate it. As for macarons, it may be a little bit too sweet for some people. But, according to some of my friends who had tried macarons in France, they said it is meant to be sweet. So, if you are craving for something sweet, lets have some macarons! hehe..

last week I made rainbow cake for Irene and Chocolates for Praveen. Glad that they loved it! Cant take alot of orders during MAD because there were no spaces in my fridge. haha..

Last but not least, I would like to thank Jolla from MAD who approached me for this. =D

Till then, have a good day and stay sweet! XX

Meringue Fever!

Salam my sweet tooth readers!

NERVOUS! this is actually my first time making cupcakes and macarons in a large quantity. roughly its around 900pcs cupcakes and 500pcs macarons! ooolalala.. i just cant imagine myself doing this alone. Anyway, just pray for the best! Insyaallah. so far the preparations were well organised as i dont like to do something last minute, because you will end up panicking! not good..not good!

Ok, back to the main topic. last week I made berries pavlova for my ex schoolmate. Alhamdulillah, Im glad that they loved it! yesterday she messaged me to order one more. but this time she wants a chocolate meringue. I'll try my best to make it as tasty as I can, babe! tungguuuu =D
