Another back dated post! This year, Valentine’s day fall on the 1st day of Chinese Lunar New Year. Since I am baking cupcakes for Faye, took out 2 of it and decorated it with fondant. The 2 miserable Valentine’s cuppies for the dearest hubby at home. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I have many back dated post for my this blog. Its hard to maintain few blogs at a time now. Even my cooking and baking is getting less unless something strike me that day to bake. Tried making Kuih Bingka Ubi Kayu or in Cantonese we called ” Mok Shue Kou”. I’ve lots of tapioca that I bought during my trip to Tg Sepat. I have a very bad habit of impulse purchase that is what Dearie Suki always mentioned to his friends. He quoted “My wife loves to buy a lot as though she needs to feed a football team”. Hahaha… maybe it is inherited from my Dad.

This is the first time making this kuih. I love this kuih but usually will just buy from the stall. Called up my Ah Kor and get the recipe from her. As usual her recipe is agak-agak. Final results, I am not too happy. How come my tapioca cake is not yellow enough? Is it there are many types of tapioca? Or those sell at the kuih stalls add some yellow colouring to it?

Ingredients:
1 kg tapioca, shredded or blended ( you can take to the Ah Neh’s shop and get him to shred for you using the coconut shredder machine )
500ml coconut milk ( I substitute 250ml with evaporated milk )
200gm sugar
A pinch of salt

Method :
1. Pre-heat the oven and greased a square baking pan.
2. Mix all the ingredient in a big bowl. Then transfer to the greased square baking pan.
3. Bake for 1 hour or till cook.
4. Once cool, cut into small pieces.

This batch of cupcakes are ordered by my cousin for her primary students in class. All her students are rewarded with cupcakes because of getting good result in their exam. My cousin is such a nice person and by the way it is also a form of motivational to her students right?  Hope her students like this cupcakes.

Its been long ever since my last log in into this blog in Jan’10. Gosh…. can’t really find the time to manage all my blogs and workload in office has been tieing down all my time. Anyway I still managed to find some time for me to do my baking during the weekend. Here you go another batch of cupcakes I did right before CNY. Took 2 boxes of these cupcakes to the orphanage home for charity.

I was telling myself, if I have more time, I would like to do more charity for the orphanage home. The kids without the love from their parents are just so pitiful. To my both kids at home…. “AREN’T YOU THINK BOTH OF YOU ARE JUST SO LUCKY?”

The kid’s principal called up and order a batch of choco cupcakes for her nephew and niece. That was few months back. So you can see how I neglect this blog and many more comments in my blog I have not approve. So lazy to do it.  Even baking I also did less. The kids get bored with my cakes.

Decorated the cupcakes with bear and make some choco flowers for decoration. Oohhh it is not that easy handling cooking chocolate. Seriously, frankly… I never like chocolate. The aroma and the smell makes me headache. Hehehe…

Another set of cupcakes baked for a friend to give it to her clients for Deepavali this year. Thought of not taking the huge order but since I have the time just do it for the extra pocket money. But after that got complaint saying the icing is too sweet. Aiyor… icing supposed to be sweet isn’t it?  That is why doing cake business is hard. People are so health conscious nowadays. Even the cousins at home also like that. End up I got to tell them just scrap it off la. Haizzz… then what is the point decorating it? Might as well just eat plain. Hahaha … can save up a lot of my time for frosting.

Oohhh.. its been long I didn’t update this quiet blog of mine. There are a lot of post back log in the folder. Have been busy with work lately and rushing for a new product launch. I am getting excited about it. Last week is jam packed with meeting, and meeting and meeting. At least this week there are some breather space for me to at least log in to check this blog. Gosh… I nearly forgotten my log in ID and password. Damn bad memory lately.

Kids are on holiday now but they still go to their daycare. Above are a batch of cupcakes I baked for them during their last day of school. They had their children day on the last day of school somewhere last month and parents are to volunteer to sponsor foods or toys for the kids. When I send them to school with a box of cupcakes, my daughter told me “Mommy why so boring. Why everyday cupcakes?”. Oh no, I think she is sick seeing my cupcakes.

This is another Butter Cake I baked for Mom’s birthday two months back. I am a butter cake fan and still constantly looking for a good butter cake recipe but yet to find one at the moment. I wonder why the butter cake sold at the cake shop is so delish and love the aroma of the butter. Hmmmm… could it be they added butter essence on it?

This is another version of cupcakes for my son birthday last month.This round its for his birthday party in school. The last round he wanted Spiderman and now he wanted Thomas & Friends. He really got a lot to demand for. With his birthday fall on a weekday, I totally got no time to think of how to decorate the cupcakes into Thomas and Friends design. I ended up bought some of those edible icing from the website and then paste it on the cupcakes and just do minimal frosting at the side.

His teacher called me that day and told me the kids in class are very happy and impressed to see the cupcakes though it is just a simple butter cupcakes. Hahaha…

This is a request from my dear son, Ee-Thern. Its his birthday last month and I asked him what cupcakes design he wants for his birthday. He told me he wanted a Spiderman cupcakes. Gosh… I was scratching my head, aiyor… how to do it ah? Seriously I am not that good in doing that and really can’t figure out how to frost a Spiderman. Hence…. I took the short cut. Get Dearie Suki to print out the spiderman picturesand cut it out and stick it over a toothpick and used that as the picks for the cupcakes. What a brilliant idea! Hahaha.. Check it out HERE to see how happy is my dear son during his birthday party.
