Peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes

Today I went to Perlis to visit Baby Aushaf Iman and mommy Choc Jamaludin. Then as usual the four little pigs (Aiman, Mamat, Miza and sadly, myself included) went off to Jetty Kuala Perlis to fill our hearty appetite with spicy tomyum and delicious ikan bakar! Yummy! I made some peanut butter with chocolate topping and chocolate chips cupcakes for Choc and hubby, and some peanut butter cupcakes with colourful sprinkles to celebrate Mamat's birthday. It was a good day indeed. ;)

Happy Belated Birthday to my friend Mat Meister!

Close up sikit!

Rainbow apam

Assalamualaikum lovelies~

I made these for breakfast today. Rainbow apam! Made extra just in case I decided to visit Choc and her little prince later today, which I actually might. 

I swear, if you put a lot of colour in it, they wont perk up as much. Just look at the bright ones. Hence I tried the soft-coloured ones. They turned out really well, Alhamdulillah. Live and learn, they say.

Introducing......Jellybeans!

Pilot.

These are mini muffins, not cupcakes, although they look exactly like my cupcakes (Yes I ran out of ideas on how to decorate them teheee).

 The ones with jelly drops on top is my latest creation, and I call them 'Jellybeans'. The Jellydrops have different colours (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple) with different flavors. Adorable and delicious! =)

Resepi kek batik yang teramat senang

Requested by Miza through Facebook. And I thought, why not I share it here too. =)

Ini resepi untuk sebungkus biskut meri, agak2agak cukup untuk separuh loyang kek. Memang tak dapat banyak sebab biskut ni akan ditekan-tekan rapat nanti. Nak banyak, pakai 2 bungkus biskut meri dan doublekan sukatan.

Bahan2:

1 bungkus biskut meri (sekeping biskut kepak/patah 4)
1 kotak (kecik) susu dutch lady or brand apa2 ja
4 sudu besar butter
4 sudu besar susu pekat manis
Air panas
Milo secukup rasa. aku suka letak banyak. kasik sembelit.

Cara2:

1. Panaskan susu dutch lady, susu pekat manis n butter dalam periuk ngan api kecik sampai mendidih.
2. Bancuh milo ngan air panas. Kalau suka milo banyak, bancuh sepekat-pekatnya. (bancuh dgn air panas untuk elakkan milo berketul dalam adunan)
3. Campur milo ngan bahan2 dalam periuk. Panaskan sehingga agak2 pekat. Jangan cair sangat, nanti biskut jadi lembik. Biar ada texture pada adunan tu.
4. Lepas dah pekat, tutup api dan biar adunan jadi suam. Masa tengah suam, masukkan biskut meri yang dah dikepak kecik dalam adunan. Kacau sehingga sebati.
5. Masukkan adunan biskut+kuah dalam tupperware. Masukkan sikit2. Buat by layer. Masuk sikit, tekan bagi rata. Then masuk lagi. Jangan sampai ada ruang banyak sangat. Kalau ruang banyak, nanati bila potong, biskut/kek hancur.
6. Sejukkan atas meja. Bila dah sejuk, masuk dalam peti ais 2-3 jam. Nak kasik dia melekat/melekit sikit. Hidang sejuk atau tak sejuk. Aku suka tak sejuk.

p/s: Kalau jenis yang suka kurang biskut dan lebih kuah, boleh doublekan bahan2 pakai sebungkus biskut. Resepi ni sangat senang dan flexible. Ikut selera sendiri ok.

Selamat mecuba! =D

Baked oreo cheesecake

It's been a while since I last baked anything or updated anything in here. Been busy the past 2 weeks with courses, upcoming exam and of course the never ending school workload.

Took the opportunity during the labour day weekend to try a recipe of Oreo cheesecake. The recipe was so plain and easy! It was for a New York cheesecake but I had some Oreo at home and being an Oreo lover that I am, I modified the recipe. Also, I added some golden syrup with sour cream as the topping for the cake. I also toned down the quantity of the sugar so that it won't be too sweet. Gotta take care of our body, right? Because giving up cheesecake altogether is just wishful thinking.

Overall the recipe turned out pretty okay. The cake is smooth and creamy, but next time I will reduce the number of eggs used because I insist that I taste too much egg in the cake although nobody else did. Baked this around 9pm last night, this morning there's less than half a tray left. Success? Maybe. Hungry barbarians in the house? Definitely!

Here is the simple recipe, if anyone wants to try it.

Ingredients:

Crust

Crush butter cookie with some melted butter. Spoon into the pan and spread them evenly.

Cheesecake

2 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Topping

3 Tablespoons sugar
8 oz. sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Beat cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with mixer until smooth. Pour into well greased 9 inch pie plate. (p/s: I just place the oreo biscuits all over/in the batter and some crushed oreo on top as a decoration)

2. Bake 22 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees F. Turn oven off. Remove cheesecake and cool for 5 minutes.

3. Combine 3 Tablespoons sugar, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over warm cheesecake and return to oven for 5 minutes. (p/s: I added some golden syrup here)

4. Cool and refrigerate.

5. 3 cupcakes for 3 wonderful months. Thank you jb!

Birthday cupcakes

Happy Birthday to a very special person, who raised and brought up my special person. May God bless you.

So today is Zombee's mom's birthday. He was so excited telling me about his plans for today; he's gonna wake up at 4am and bake a cake for his mom (he didn't wake up pun), then go to school for his olahraga practice, and come back and go bowling with the whole family. Best gilaks. And I was busy all day too, preparing this and that for my steamboat party (no picture, sucks!!!). Well, not lots of people were there per say, but it was still a party because all we did was eat eat eat and chat chat chat. After the peeps left, I started baking these birthday cupcakes because I sorta promised Zombee the night before (I was kinda joking, but it turned serious, and he'll throw a mild tantrum if I don't do what I said I would). So yeah, when the peeps were here I made strawberry cupcakes with fresh sliced strawberry on top, and then after I made a second batch of  birthday cupcakes. The pictures of strawberry cupcakes are sooooo blur it hurts to even blink after seeing it! Sorry! ;)

Strawberry cupcakes!

I'm so tired now, I'll probably fall asleep soon. Tomorrow I landed a date with the peeps, again. (it seems like we can't have enough of each other!)

I love decorating cupcakes

 

P/S: My secret dream is to open my very own bakery. And yes, the closet sale is still coming very very soon, InsyaAllah. Lots of picture taking and description making in progress. See you guys soon! ;)

Am I a dead bride?

Halloween is almost here.

Next week, to be exact.

But we had an early celebration cuz next week is Exam week!!!!

We dressed up, ate some yummilicious food, played games and chat.

It was a fun night, except for the fact that we turned up at 9pm and no one was there although the event was supposed to start at 8pm!

Well, eventually it started at almost 10pm.

I didn't have enough time to prepare my nails and just go without them, although I supposed to have plenty of time considering that it started at 10pm.

Haih.

My costume was not complete, but I think last night was really fun.

Looking at other people dressing up was fun as well! =)

I went as the corpse bride, and Mr. Katayama went as Sack Boy from the game Little Big planet.

It was an awesome night, but we retreated early (1am!!!) cuz we were all sooo tired, while most of the guests stayed for a horror movie. Will surely remember that night! =P

Hari Raya menjelang tiba...

Raya tahun ni agak best. Rindu family a lot, tp leh raya wif Mr. Katayama. Tp sgt2 lah rindu mkanan Msia. Pegi rumah trbuka smua bwt nasik impit sbb sng lg dr ketupat/lemang kot, but since i LOVE nasik impit so it's not a problem. 1st day beraya ngan Cohot 4, Munchy nya bos & member2 around Railway. Best gila! Fud was super duper awesome. Definitely. Rendang+lemang Dzeti were sinfully delicious. Chicken delicacies at Sultana's house were to die for. Then the next day we all went back to class and continue our ordinary student lives. Until Saturday came, and MSD open house lets us fill our tummies yet again, with mouthwatering food. Again, sedap jugak. And Sunday came, Cohort 4 went sailing (superb!!!) and then pastu me+min+atie balik rock a few songs kat umah wif Guitar Hero n then g umah terbuka Rahim & Purr at WSA. Tingat plak zaman2 last year mse dok ctu. Sure bring back memories. Now my brain is cramped cuz hafta finish 3000 words essay. Darn.
