New bake ware ! / #6 baking

12.45am
Everyday is about baking ! I will search online for baking tips, recipes, methods, searching for bakeware, practically everything is about baking!
Tonight I'm baking Cornflakes Cookies. I halved the ingredients and still there's alot to bake. My boy is beside me while I'm preparing the ingredients. He keep sniffing and saying "So nice" when I'm creaming the butter and sugar. And he is really happy and excited. He stand beside me until the preparation is done..
It is already 12.30am when I bake my last batch. Keep the remaining in airtight container to continue the baking tomorrow !
Give Hub a box to bring to work and 3 for Lervin to bring to CC. =)



Time to get a baking oven...... The cookies which is more inside in oven bake faster the the outer and I have to keep shifting the cookie in and out. I know I can't pull down the panel when baking.. But bo bian.. Better then to let the inside ones get over-bake right... Hope to get the oven before the promo ends....


4.30pm
As both me and hub knock off early today, we fetch Lervin and went Kallang Bahru for dinner and also a visit to Kitchen Capers! I always told hub that I wanted to go there and take a look at their stuffs but in the end I always dont have the chance to go. Finally ! Every time we talk about baking, I will get duper excited.. hehe. I started my first baking this month and till now I had baked for 5 times.! Even my hub says that I really love baking. =)

Bought 4pcs of 250g SCS salted and unsalted. It's really cheap there! Choco chips, measuring spoon, baking paper, wire rack..... Gina is nice to give me a cooler bag to keep the butters when I told her I'm going somewhere else. =)


Side track a little...
There's a dinner meetup session with Jolie and Celine at the Loof. Enjoyable night with some good catchin-up. =) Been a long time I've went out with my friends and leaving Lervin to hub's care. Hub even told me to go out and enjoy myself while he looks after Lervin asking me to 放心去玩. He knows that although I am outside with friends, my mind will keep thinking of what is Lervin doing, is hub looking after him, is lervin naughty etc... I suppose this is how most mothers feels...
Hub called me and pass the phone to Lervin and he asked me,'mummy, where you going?' abit broken sentence but still can understand what he is trying to ask. He told me he ate 'muifan', something about the terrapin.. He kept asking me where I'm going.. hahaha..
And when I reached home, he is all smilely and ran over to hug and kiss me.. So sweet.. =) He even sayang me face with his 2 hands, smiling and calling mummy.... Awww... My heart melts... =)

Baking at mum's place

Another baking day for us.!
Both my sis are into baking as well. Now with me joining their baking club, my parent and brother 有口福了。hahaa !!

This time, we are trying to make fondant ourselves! Ever since I saw those cupcakes beautifully decorated, I hope someday I can do the same too. Perphaps to be a full time baking mum ! *grin*
Both we started off with baking cuppies then followed by making fondant!
As this is our first time doing the fondant, there are sure to have hicups.. Nevertheless it is fun !


Cuppies done !




The fondant. First time trying out doin fondant ourselves. =)
Not really not nice and smooth. Gonna check for more recipes and try again. =)







My younger sis 'works'
She find it pretty fun.!


She said this is for Leroy.. 2 teeth Leroy. ahhaha


Ask him to smile and he smile like this.. So ugly. haha


This is much more nicer. =)


Leroy don't dare to touch when I place it on the tray.
Looks scary with 2 teeth? haha

Comparing..... LOL

He started clapping happily when we sing Happy Birthday song.

Bakings !!

I've all along like cute small cupcakes.. Especially after decorated. So pretty to eat !!
Finally, after the sudden urge to start my first baking, I meet my sis and went to buy baking equips 2 weeks ago...



I was so excited that I started baking right after I reach home. My sis volunteer to bring Lervin back to my mum's place so that I can focus on baking. =)
Wanted to try the Vanilla cupcakes as it seems very easy for a noobie like me.. Preparing ingredients, measuring, stiring, mixing.... I was kinda confused at first but starts to get the hang of it... Fun !!!
But the cuppies doesnt turn out well.. It is tasteless !!! After discussing with my sis, the reason is because I used UNSALTED butter !!! No choice la... First time ma... haahaa
And the cupcakes doesnt come out pretty too. =(
It's because I added cheese in between and don't know why it's like going to overflow from the cup...


I know it looks very ugly... =(



I tried the Vanilla cupcake again last week and it turned out great.! Except that the middle of the cake seems kinda moist.. Tried a few ways but still the same... I guess it is as what my sis says, my oven is lousy. Ya la, my oven is not meant for baking. Will buy a baking oven soon !!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi guys,

now it is already 2.30am and I'm still baking !!! =)
This time, I baking Chocolate cupcakes... It seems easy to others.. but for me, there's abit of 高难度. hahahaa.. As I dont have any electric and hand mixer, I'm using a spoon to stir !! Hands and arms are aching...

Hope it turns out well..... =)

While waiting.....

What a week

Been a week since I update...

Quite busy with Leroy's b'day planning.... Lotsa planning and sourcing to do..
Nevertheless, I'm happy as I'm almost done with the preparation !!

I'm so impressed by how Lervin speaks and did nowadays.... He speaks like an small adult and helps out when I'm doing housework.
- Just the day before, he keep kissing my hand and says mummy i looovvvve you... He likes to drag the love word...

- He wants to help carrying my bag when I open the door..
- Switching off the TV when he comes out from the room or leaves the living room.
- Want to help to wash his cup and bowl after using.

All these little things means alot to me and shows that he is learning and picking up things by seeing what we did. =)

Funny video !! Must watch!!
