Wee hours

It's 3.45 am in the morning! so what am i doing here? blogging lah! but hey hey, before that i was doing something labourious. guess wat??

I'm baking cakes!

yeah yeah! no big deal right? go bake urself then! i really envy those shops selling wonderful looking cakes. Beside attractive, it taste delicious too. Understand why cakes are expensive in japan, cuz the process is so tedious!! Whatever it is, i'm still shagged!!!

Started baking from 4 plus in the afternoon with my dear Ari. She still wanted to try baking cookies cuz it's only her 2nd time. With my kpo aunty helps, she managed to do some flavours that she likes. It's Oaty, Hazy [hazlenuts] and chocolaty. Think it's something new and taste not bad. The one and only problem is that our oats are not enough and so we had to subsitute with plain flour instead, which is not a very good idea becuz it makes the cookies hard.

My first cake failed. Come'on, when it comes to baking, no one can have their first attempt successful. With the help of my uncle, my second cake is a success. Almost near to perfect cuz the surface is slighly burned. Got a little sad when it start to sinks in the middle...

Tips to bake a edible sponge cake. And not eating kuah.... [=.=]""

1) Use mixer. U cant hand-beat the mixture till it's soft and fluffy.

2) while mixing, make sure that the mixture will expand! And it's light, not watery.

3) dunn leave the cake mixture stands too long.

4) preheat the oven before working on ur cake.

5) Cake should weight light [except for fruit cakes]. Or else it means ur cakes is not fully cooked or overcooked.

That's all i'll give for baking a "edible" cake tips.

After Ari went to meet Jon, i continue baking my last cake for my dear. worried that it's not cooked, i turn the timer longer. In the end my cake was too overcooked. the sides were hard and i had to cut the cake smaller. I'm still lucky because the middle is still soft. phew! And so i start doing decor for 2 cakes. 1 big 1 small.

If only i had a camera. But my hp camera just dunn wanna work for me anymore. keke, If only i had a carmera, i could have taken the pictures of the cakes. Well, it's look like it has too much whipped cream on it but i wants to do a nice covered up. =P i want it flawless ok?? After spending 2 hours doing the decor, it still doesnt appeared as good as i wanted it to be. Ahhh, whatever~

My only wish is that my family and my dear can enjoy the cakes that i've baked. I know it doesnt taste that good, but whatever u bake, they just comment that it's delicious. You have no idea how much it meant, but to me, i'm moved....
