WHAT'S UP DOC?

I'm late, I'm late for
A very important date.
No time to say hello, good-bye,
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late
I'm late and when I wave,
I lose the time I save.
My fuzzy ears and whiskers
Took me too mych time to shave.
I run and then I hop, hop, hop,
I wish that I could fly.
There's danger if I dare to
Stop and here's a reason why:
I'm over-due, I'm in a rabbit stew.
Can't even say good-bye,
 hello, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.























What might be missing on my slightly cacat mr bunny are glasses & a pocket watch, but inside that cake is a decadent carrot cake with lots of raisins, mix fruit, walnuts and white chocolate with cream cheese frosting. All there, nothing's missing.

Thank you Kak Aiza for the order!

THAT DARN CAT

My biggest challenge yet! Diyana of diyanazman.com ordered this for her son Miki who just turned two last Sunday.

As usual, any project is nerve wrecking for me but alhamdulillah, I managed to complete this cake in time and Diyana wasn't a fussy customer and accepted the little flaws in my feline creation. I get such positive feedback from the others about the cake in terms of flavour, it made me beam inside out. Thank you so much Diyana, Azman & Miki for having us at the party which was a blast!

The cake flavour was carrot walnut cake with white chocolate, cream cheese frosting and covered with fondant. For the limbs, I had to bake a smaller round cake, vanilla cake with strawberry jam. I didn't expect the head took a lot of cake to make! But it was  fun looking at the cat being 'slaughtered', and the little kiddies simply yanking the limbs off when I told them to.

Insya-allah I'll be able to come up with other creations similar to this. Interested, just email me at raggedyanne79@gmail.com and let me know your ideas.

Here's some pics to share of Miki's awesome party.

They named the kitty cake Alex, after Shana's dearly departed cat!

 

Poor Shana!

Nunu & I really enjoyed the party!

LIPLICKIN' CUPCAKES AT THE BIZ CAFE

Hey all! I'm truly sorry for the long silence.I've been resting since December and now I'm back on track, finding new ways to market my bakes with limited time and resources that I have.  I've been baking for a bit, but not much as before, most of them were experiments. No interesting photos to show either, which is a shame coz I made some pretty good ones, namely chocolate banana cheese cuppies & super fluffy, decadent red velvet cupcakes. None-the-less, do enjoy the ones below!

To help out a friend, I sent a box of cupcakes to her small cafe to see how well they would sell.

All are chocolate moist based, to be really safe since chocolate seemed to be more well received among cake lovers.

Top: Black Beauty - Moist choc cake with pink choc chips & strawberry buttercream
2nd: Macho Mod Mint - Moist mint choc cake with peppermint buttercream
3rd: Triple Chocolate - Moist choc cake with choc chips & choc buttercream
4th: Carnivale - Moist choc cake, pink choc chips & blueberry buttercream

All are sold out by Friday. Not bad for first week of business, considering the crowd are mainly during lunch hour.

The following week, I came up with a different variation and interesting combos.

From left: Cinta Coffee, specially named after my darling Yana all the way from HK. Moist Mocha Cake with coffee buttercream. I just love the pure coffee aroma in the buttercream, as I used strong coffee to flavour it. I could have eaten those myself if I didn't have to sell them :)

Next are named Haffa Jaffa. Funny name, eh? It's my own little twist of the Jaffa Cakes that is widely popular in the UK. It's simply a moist choc orange cake with orange buttercream. Next to it is I think, everyone's favourite (except mine) PB & J, moist choc cake, peanut butter buttercream & of course, strawberrry jelly!

The last one is Plain Nutty, a plain moist choc cake with slivers of almonds on top. Perfect for those who aren't partial to sweet frosting. Some people are like that you know. "Alah, I tak boleh makan manis lah..."

All these are selling at RM2.50 each. Cheap hor! Kat KL boleh dapat RM2.50? But I assure you I'd cut my own middle finger, all flavours are yummy to the core. I'm very happy that I can come up with different combos this time and concentrate on flavours again for once, coz I thought that for a while, I've taken too much time making my cupcakes look too pretty to be eaten.

The tiny cafe, but offers a wide range of menu every day. The mango lassi is to die for! Looks kinda bare at the time I took the photos coz my friend hasn't arrived with her special of the day and other breads and cookies for sale. My friend is quite a fair baker, she makes her own cheesecake and chocolate cake slices.

Forgot to write, super duper yummy Liplickin' Cupcakes!

So, what are you waiting for? Go and sample my cupcakes at The Biz Cafe, Ground Floor, Plaza MWE, Farquhar Road. It's right next to City Bayview Hotal, right after the bend where the Maybank branch in located. It's also near the location of the Little Penang Street Market (held every last Sunday of the month).
