During the Ramadhan festive, we were at Jusco doing our monthly grocery shopping. Le-Ann saw the Pineapple Tarts selling over at the booth and kept pestering Daddy to buy for her. I saw the pineapple tarts selling at RM25 per box for only I think less than 50 pieces. Furthermore, the whole box presentation doesn’t tempt me to buy it. I told Le-Ann that I will bake it for her over the weekend. Dearie Suki bought a whole pineapple from Jusco at only RM1.30 and it is quite big though.

Cook the pineapple jam on Friday night itself and bake the Pineapple Tarts on Saturday afternoon. I still prefer the tarts as shown above compared to the rolls one. Both my kids love the tarts so much but one thing that makes me angry is, they only eat the pineapple jam on top and throw the biscuits away. Haizzz… so eye sore when I see that.

Phatboy Joe’s friend ordered this a box of cupcakes from me and passing me the message that its for her uncle birthday. Since I am free on Saturday, I agreed to do it for her. That night itself I am supposed to stay at home decorating the cuppies but then we went out for supper at McDonalds again and only reached home at about 11.30 pm. Oh gosh… I was telling Dearie Suki I got to burn the midnight oil again to decorate the cupcakes.  

When come to decorating cupcakes, I think I am quite bad at it. My mind is without any idea on what to design on the cupcakes. Dearie Suki  start to crunch his head and he came out with the idea of doing a set of necktie on it. There he goes, he was the one doing the piping and I am his assistant busy with washing, cleaning and putting the final touch to it. Hahaha… I think I only like to bake.

I asked Phatboy Joe what is the comment from his friend and he told me it is just suitable and nice for her uncle birthday. Guess what? She wacked 2 of the cuppies before she could give the whole box to her uncle. Glad to know that she love it.

My next order is to bake some cupcakes for both my children school Children’s Day this coming Friday in order to surprise the kids in school. But before I do that, I must check with their principal whether this is OK or not. Hehehe…   

Pandan Chiffon Cake is my Dearie Suki favourite. Everytime he will bug me nad asked me to bake this chiffon cake for him. Last Friday, I can’t sleep and woke up in the middle of the night and bake this cake in the middle of the night. Crazy right? Pardon me for the blur pictures cos I am using my handphone to take the photographs. I am too lazy to run up and take my camera down.

This is my 2nd attempt baking a chiffon cake. I did my 1st Pandan Chiffon Cake months back. This round the Chiffon Cake turned out much more better than the previous one. I used pandan paste instead of the original pandan leaves and that is why the colour turned out much more better as compared to the first one. This recipe is just nice for a small family like us. The next morning we had the Chiffon Cake for breakfast and it is just nice for 4 of us. In my next attempt I wanna try to make Orange Chiffon Cake or Chocolate Chiffon Cake.  

Ingredients :
Batter A :
3 egg yolks
40 gm castor sugar
75 gm self raising flour, sifted
1 tbsp olive oil
100 ml coconut milk ( I used 3 tbsp of coconut powder mixed with water )
3-4 pandan leaves pounded with 4 tbsp water to get the pandan juice or 1 tsp pandan paste

Batter B :
3 egg white
40 gm sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Method :
1. Whisk egg yolks with sugar till creamy. Then add in olive oil, coconut milk and pandan paste. Mixed well and fold in the flour. Set aside.
2. Whisk egg white with sugar and cream of tartar till stiff.
3. Fold in egg yolks batter into the egg whites batter. Mixed well and pour into a chiffon cake pan. ( I used a 18 cm pan )
4. Bake at 180 DC for 40 minutes. Invert the cake pan over a cooling rack and let it cool completely. Once cooled use a sharp knife to separate the chiffon cake from the cake pan.

Baked this two Saturday ago. The house modem spoilt and I won’t be able to log into internet. It is so damn boring and nearly die off from boringness. SMSed Irene that I really will die without the internet connection at home. She SMSed me back saying that I am sure I can find dig something out to do. Hahaha… ya, finally I baked a batch of Walnut Yoghurt Cupcakes for the kids. Drove the kids out to 7-Eleven to buy a pack of natural yoghurt to bake this cupcakes. This is the second time I baked this cupcakes.The actual recipe is named Strawberry Yoghurt Cupcakes but I substitute with other ingredients like mango or walnuts. The kids had this for tea-time and Le-Ann loves it.

Dad and Ee-Thern’s Birthday fall on the same month. We had a small celebration for Dad at Ah Mah’s place. As usual, my Dad favourite is Steamboat party! I was supposed to bake 2 cakes for Dad and Ee-Thern but I am too tired to bake two at one go. So instead of 2 cakes it ended up 1 cake share by 2 birthday man and boy. Oh gosh a 65 years Dad have a Tom and Jerry cake for his birthday? Hahaha.. LOL….

A surprised to all the Ah Kor’s at home and I bake a Durian Cake back home. Bought a  Tom and Jerry image  printed on an edible icing sheet from Bake With Yen. Frost the cake with whipping cream and just put the icing sheet on top. Then cover the ugly side over with more whipping cream piped out in a star nozzle. Ee-Thern is happy with the cake and I am happy with the results too. But one thing for sure, little Le-Ann is complaining where is her Barbie cake. Hahaha… Check out the cake cutting session … Ee-Thern and Kong Kong HERE.

It’s  my dear son, Ee-Thern 3rd Birthday celebration in school. I baked a batch of butter cupcakes for him to bring to school for hir birthday party bash. I baked this quite late at night and the design of the cupcakes off course need to be train. His favourite is TRAIN. Everything also must be TRAIN. Hahaha…. I passed my camera to his class teacher and get her to help me to snap a few pictures of him blowing the cake and I didn’t realized Le-Ann also joined in his birthday party in school. He is certainly the most happy boy in the world on his birthday.

Check out his cheeky smile on the related posts:

Ee-Thern’s Birthday Celebration

I baked this Cheesecake Brownies for Vonne’s Farewell Party 2 weeks ago. Time really flies and she is now in UK for almost 2 weeks. My kids will definately miss this short hair Yee Yee dearly. Her Dad throw her a farewell party at Ah Mah;s house and it is some sort of potluck party with lots of foods to eat. Wah it is too much and I didn’t even get to try all of it. Click HERE to see what we have and you will be surprised it is just like a buffet spread at the hotel. Hahaha…

I get this Cheesecake Brownies recipe from Gertrude’s blog and the cake turn out real good. Kids at home love it a lot maybe its because it is chocolaty and cheese! Oh so sinful to have a slice of it and I am getting fatter and fatter. The Cheesecake Brownies is the big hit among the kids and they really love it but one thing they complaint to me that it is not enough cheese. So the next round I think I need to get atleast 2 blocks of cream cheese. You can check out the recipe from HERE.

Make this for my good friend Jeff to sell it at one of the Charity Bazaar he took part in. He called me up and asked me whether I am interested or not. He asked me to bake a batch for him to sell.  Since I am free that night, I baked a batch for him. Dearie Suki helped me send the cupcakes to his house in Cheras. By 1pm he  SMSed me and said all sold off. Hahaha.. anyway it is only less than 30 cupcakes I baked for him. Hahaha…

The kids at home already get bored with my cupcakes. :(  Dad asked me to bake a cake for Mom’s birthday and the kids at home requested me to do a cheesecakes. Wow… this is the first time I did a cheesecakes. So here I go to make this Chilled Mango Cheesecakes and didn’t know it turned out so well for a first timer like me. If I can do it anyone also can do it. Did a mistake for the cheesecake as I uses a too big round spring form tin. Ended up, the cake is not as high as it is. But thank god, the kids at home love it and asked me to do this more often. Aduiii… cream cheese very expensive leh. Hahaha… Vonne and Joe love it a lot and I am going to do another one for Vonne’s farewell party. Click here and see how happy is my Mom together with all her grandchildren.

My house is overloaded with durians. Aunty AB gave me so much durians from her orchard and till today I still have it in the freezer. Hmmm.. I have been hiding it and wouldn’t want to let the kids see it. Once they see it they will eat non stop. I tried making Durian Butter Cupcake but to my dissapointment the cake didn’t turn out that nice. While baking in the oven, it looks good, the cupcakes rise a bit. Once I took out, the cupcakes sunk a bit. Once I taken a bite of it, oh gosh, it looks wet in it but the aroma of the durian is there. Whats went wrong and what I could think off is I added too much durian puree in it and it makes the cupcakes sunk. Anyway, it still taste good with the durian taste.
