congrats!

it was her wedding yesterday.. was so touched by Alfred and her thank you speech at the church..

understand what she has undergone before her wedding.. glad that it was all over.. Jesus is real.. He takes cares of everything.. Amen!

her friends were great.. a special item at the church wedding and a special item during the dinner reception.. her emcees were great!! the church and at the dinner reception.. his brothers are great! they helped to clean the mess after the church reception.. they took care of the dinner.. everything..

sis, you really made an impression and had great friends.. even the open door angpow, they gave them back.. no, i am not sour for not having the angpow.. but i do understand his money is my money.. how much he gave at the door is not his alone.. how kind!

congrats mummy gladys..

congrats!! finally he is delivered after many many months of anticipation.. seeing the small family make me so insipired.. but we shall see..

glad to see mummy doing well.. take care till we visit you again after my dear dear's exams...

i hope in future, my little one can bake with me enjoying parenthood bonding.. well, the thought came after i was in my baking frenzy mood.. hee..

i miss my blog.. in my bazing frenzy mood..

it has been awhile since i last blog.. been posting pictures onto facebook..

have been attending my baking lesson every saturday without missing any lesson.. been baking what i have learnt.. so far so good.. more recipes i have obtained.. initially when i enrolled, the cakes that was being taught did not interest me, however, because of my father who kept pestering me to enroll into a baking class so i went..

i have since baked sugee cakes, mixed fruit scones, cheese sponge cake, brioche, onion bread, old fashioned prune cake, carrot cupcakes.. and going to bake a light cheese cake later.. so far, the mixed fruit scones, sugee cake and cheese sponge cake is great!! thanks to my baking mates, last sat was vesak day and we thought there was lesson as the trainer didnt annouce there was no lesson so we went.. met each other at the door and realised it was not opened.. so they invited me to their place where i got wholemeal flour, topflour and milk powder to bake the carrot cupcakes and the cheese sponge cake.. hee.. it was very kind of them.. and it so happened that we live so nearby, just few blks from each other.. hehe.. more to share..

i have semolina and shortening to give them too.. i understand the thought on buying 1kg of flour but each time the recipes only calls for 100 - 200 gms.. i do not like to keep my baking drawer so filled with opened flour.. so untidy.. when you bake, you will understand this frustration.. i have self raising flour, plain flour, cake flour, bread flour all used halfway..

ok, here goes.. some of my bakes and my trainer's bakes..

her sponge cake topped with whipped cream and jam filling..
her old fashioned prune cake..

her scones with haw fillings..

my brioches.. aka sweet milk buns..
not that successful though as i do not have the kenwood mixer with the hook.. hint hint

her crown cake..
it was amazing seeing how she cut the shape into crown..
at the same time, she demonstrated butter cream
a tad too oily & sweet for my taste..


her bread pudding coated with cinnamon..
so going to make it for christmas this year end..

her japanese light cheese cake... overturn..

my mixed fruit scones.. i baked it while my in-laws were at my place..

i brewed hot english tea and served it with my scones fresh from the oven.. they loved it!

her bread..
demonstrating the different shapes and patterns and filings..

my japanese light cheese cake..

well, im quite satisfied with the results.. it requires steam bake..

my cheese sponge cake.. which uses top flour and milk powder..

i just love it when it doesnt crack..

thanks to my classmate for the top flour and milk powder.. hehe..
