Farhan's Pororo Friends!

I almost forgot about this cake! For Kak Niza's baby boy, Farhan. So many things went wrong while making this cake. Firstly, I had a bad case of flu and was feeling kinda woozy. I accidentally spilled the cake batter, and I ran out of cocoa powder to make another batch. Disaster! At the last minute, I changed the cake from a chocolate orange cake to an orange butter cake with orange filling and chocolate ganache, hoping that it could still be a jaffa cake. 

Thankfully, Kak Niza didn't mind the change, but I later found out from her that I accidentally used mango filling instead of orange filling! OK, I admit I couldn't tell the difference from the smell since my nose was stuffy. But I'm pretty sure I bought orange filling, as written on the plastic container. How the fillings got switched, I only discovered some time later when I went back to the cake supplies store and saw how both the orange & mango filling looked so much alike @-@

Must have been a funky new flavour, orange butter cake, mango filling & chocolate ganache!

 

GONE DOTTY

What I love about being in this 'sweet' business is when I keep meeting nice and sweet people, like Shahnaz, who has complete and utter faith in me to come up with some special treats for her mother.

And how sweet of her to travel all the way from the city to her hometown in Alor Setar, to surprise that poor mother of hers on the latter's birthday, tercongok depan pintu with 3 boxes of cakes!

A mix of chocolate & peanut butter, jaffa and coffee cupcakes with vanilla and chocolate buttercream

It wasn't easy for me to cater to orders on a weekday, so I hope everyone didn't mind the simple designs.

Dulce De Leche cupcakes, which according to Shahnaz, were her favourite flavour. Thanks a bunch, babe!
