Virgin Productions

Lately, I have 2 virgin productions. First, I design the artwork for Aron's birthday goodie bag, followed by Asher's birthday goodie bag. See Picture 1 & 2.

Though the designs are not fantastically impressive, at least, they mark the beginning of my creative design. Sons, do remember, without you, mummy probably will not ever start to do this. Hope this will make you feel proud in school.


The next production is... ta-da....

CUP CAKES!

Well, I bought a new mini oven a few months ago, after getting rid of the microwave oven which was sitting in my kitchen for a few years as white elephant. So, I decided, I should not let my new mini oven become the next white elephant.

I followed a recipe from a blog which says: 15 minutes cup-cake, and it is suppose to be fail-proof.

Guess what, at my first attempt, I put in the wrong amount of milk to the mixture of sugar, eggs, and butter. Instead of 60ml of milk stated in the recipe, I mistook it for 600ml of milk! And I actually beat the mixture till I suspected something was not right. Lucky, I didn't complete the mixing and put it in the oven. So after realising my mistake, I told my maid to throw away the mixture. She stared at me with big eyes. Yes, very wasteful, cos its a big bowl of mixture with 3 eggs, that I was throwing away.

I repeated the steps again. This time, the amount of all the ingredients were added without mistakes anymore. But manually beating the mixture was quite tiring.

I made another mistake. I bought the cake cups which the size were too big for the pan hole, so the look of the entire cupcakes were not as presentable as it could be.

But, the taste.....its yummy, at least, for a first timer, I am satisfied with my results. Everyone in my family said its not bad. Even MIL who doesn't take any food with dairy product also tasted a small tiny bit, and think its ok. She suggested that I use "coa-coa" instead of "milk" next time, so that she could eat it.

I shall post the pictures of my virgin cup cakes soon.
