Muffins Mania

Received a last minute request from a neighbour who's having a 'kenduri'. She wanted some muffins for the children who'd be attending the event. I had to make do with whatever I had in the pantry as there wasn't any time for grocery shopping. Despite the last minute request, I managed to bake two types of muffins for her; Crazy Choc Chip Muffin (because I went a bit overboard with the dark and white choc chips!) and Peanut-Me-Nut Muffin (used a big jar of peanut butter in the fridge that was doomed for expiration if I didn't use it). Hope the kids like 'em.

Happy Birthday Hubby!

My darling hubby, Nawawi Husin, celebrated his 46th birthday on Saturday, 23rd May 2010. He's not exactly the sort that even remembers let alone celebrates birthdays, anniversaries etc but I thought, what the heck, because I sure do! So, we had a low-key celebration with a special cake baked by yours truly, of course. He likes cheesecake so I decided to bake him my very own Mix Fruit Baked Cheesecake. One of the highlights of the day was when I had to bash to smithereens the digestive biscuits that formed the base of the cake. Then, it was just a matter of whipping the cream cheese, sugar and eggs. I thought of making choc chip cheesecake at first but I had a tin of mix fruit cocktail in the cabinet so decided to go with the fruits. I must say I was fascinated by how lovely it turned out! All golden loveliness and full of yumminess. But what's important was that hubby really enjoyed walloping a few slices.

Happy Birthday Hubby! Love you lots...and to more cheesecakes!

I'm Back and Ready to Party!

It's been ages since my last BakeScape entry and I'm so thankful and glad to be back. Although it's been a while since I posted an update on my baking adventure, I have not stopped baking and testing hundreds of recipes. It has been a fantastic source of inspiration and a sure-fire stress reliever. I'm now ready to dazzle you with my expertise (haha) and showcase my flair of turning ordinary ingredients into delicious foods.


Come with me on my journey!

Coffee Cake for the Weekend

I was feeling a bit bored and restless last Sunday, and I was a bit tired of watching tv all day long. So I decided to check out what I have in the kitchen. And voila! An hour later, my entire house was filled with the enticing smell from the coffee cake baking in the oven. I served warm slices of the moist, scrumptious coffee cake with cold whip cream and of course, a cup of hot tea. Delish! Though my husband did complain that the cream needed some sugar.

Brownie Birthday Cake

Another request for Almond Chocolate Brownie for Nukman and his grandfather. Since it's a small cake, I thought I'd keep it simple and sweet.
