for the office raya gathering

okie, so i didn't manage to make 3 different types of cupcakes as planned :( the bananas i wanted to use for 1 of the recipes went bad and i had to scrap that. nevertheless, managed to make my standard vanilla cupcakes (since so many people like them) and also choc cakeballs with choc cream cheese! yes, they are as decadent as they sound!

 standard cupcake, $30 for a box of 16

 choc cakeballs, price and packaging TBA

just hope that the latter goes down well, it's untested haha

and i do declare, i freaking LOVE my Wilton 1M tip!!

Busy end to the week!

soooo excited! having a raya potluck thingy at work on fri, and will
be baking/ cooking up a storm for it! planning on making macaroni
goreng for a bit of savouryness... and then 3 types of cupcakes :p
will probably be the standard vanilla with buttercream frosting, choc
with choc fudge frosting, and trying something new, will be a
surprise!

neighbour will also be getting married this sun and hubby asked if i
could make him a cake since they're good friends... this might just be
my wedding dulang debut! hahaha. keeping fingers crossed that
everything will work out well, seeing how my attempt at a choc cake
totally bombed last weekend. been seeing some eally pretty layered
cakes in graduated colours, hope i can pull one off!

C is for cookies...

cookies are also the easiest thing for me to post about right now since there are so few of them. haha.

was baking up a storm during the fasting month, making choc chip cookies and cornflake macaroons for friends and family.. still got a ton of egg whites leftover, will probably attempt to make meringues, royal icing and the like. *fingers crossed*

ok so these were the first decorated sugar cookies that i made en masse, with the help of family members. packed them in sets of 2 for my daughter's cukur rambut...

these are chewy choc chip cookies. they were chocolatey and chewy enough i guess, but there was something missing... not quite sure what, but they didn't taste as good as they looked :p

these are cookies made from my go-to cookie recipe. choc chip cookies, cinnamon chip cookies and double choc cookies. so goooood! raya version was made from the same recipe, but bite sized.

packaged the cookies in sets of 3 for a charity donation drive that a friend's company was organising. heard they sold for $5 per packet 0_o

so there we go, the first pics of hopefully many more!

Overdue 2nd Post

I need to get with the programme and actually start blogging. Sigh. Was working on a post with pics of past desserts but the dang thing just won't work!! Shall attempt again tonight after jalan raya :(
