The idea of creating this blog is especially for our baking hobby and anything got to do with cooking. We hope that you will be enjoying it too as much as we do ;)
i decided to bring some cupcakes as a gift when i am gonna visit a friend for deepavali later in the evening. so this is the result of part of the cupcakes out of this one—
i felt so relieve when i managed to get almost the same purple colour for the frosting, to match with the purple coloured box and tissue paper. please do not ask me of where i got the box. its a recycle item ok? hehee... well its actually a body shop' gift box! see... you won't waste a thing if you have the pledge to be an environmental friendly people right.
anyhow i really hope that kausheilia will likes eating my cupcakes, as much as i lurve baking and decorating them ;) PLUS eating them too! *big grin*
i bake some cupcakes yesterday, to surprise a nephew shahriman whose 9th birthday falls today, on deepavali day. i only managed to decorate the cupcakes just now as i had to attend a cousin's wedding in ipoh last night.
as shahriman is more into motorsports, mother suggested that we should buy the same car chocolate that i did for another nephew daniel. luckily a local supermarket still sells that. this time i didn't unwrap the car chocolate, but placed them exactly as it is on the decorated cupcakes instead. i guess it looks much real that way.
we gonna bring the kids plus shahriman for breakfast at mcD in ipoh later. we will see of where we shall surprise shahriman with his race car birthday cupcakes. do check back my personal blog later for the updates :~)

megat was so happy yesterday that he got the chance to make with me; the cupcakes for his classmates meant as a raya treat. you can view last years' one here. take note that i like the above pic— its all been explained here. you can see the movement of megat's hand placing the paper cups in its place. we can also see megat's expressions. nice.
megat helped me to do some simple things though like beating the eggs, putting the ingredients in the mixer, placing the paper cups and sort. he's not that brave to weigh the ingredients yet though. he afraid that he won't do it right. anyhow i will still let him try very soon.
we just make do with a simple design with the children's name, as long as we could assure that the children would be as happy as megat, especially when they would have their own cupcakes with their own name written on it. i know they would. tell me which kids don't right.
my oly is with megat. i will get it back during his recess time. i can't wait to see the children's faces.
my cupcakes are all ready for my former high school's OGA (short for old girl's association occay?) committee meeting later in the evening. during our last meeting in the mid of ramadhan, it was actually my grand auntie pah mimi's idea for us to have potluck for this meeting, since we are all still in the raya mood. then i was like— "wohoo!!!... i am only good in cupcakes, so i'll bring cupcakes ler kan? hehee...".
my butter cupcakes a bit shrink this time around :( so i came out with the idea to decorate them with a double swirl design. lotsa used of buttercream though i.e. doubleeeee!!! as usual. i am sure the senior citizens not keen with it. but anyhow they could always take out the buttercream, then eat the cupcakes instead, not a problem with that :)
in terms of taste, texture and such, my version of tiffany & co cupcakes *glurp* have been tested and passed thru my personal QS i.e. mama hehee...
* * * * *
in fact, i did the same colour for my lil' sis' last saturday, who as usual wanna served my cupcakes for her colleagues for the raya. i decorated hers with my signature design. she's the only malay in the office, so she opt for the very simple one! that is bring cupcakes and gave them away for raya treats :P
please go here to see the raya cupcakes i did for my lil' sis last year.
