Superman Theme Cuppies

My buddy - Eve's sons loves Superman .., it's his birthday on 2 Nov, too early but she can only come today to deliver the rice wine to me .. it was meant to be a surprise for her !! or rather it's little an2's surprise .. hahaha



I used Stef's brownin muffin recipe .. a bit 'overbaked' as the test should be a bit of moist crumb cling to the toothpick, but mine is clean .. so it's overbaked ., need to adjust to a shorter time on her orders .. ;P

Cupcake TOppers again

These are 4 of the 20 cupcake orders that I've received from a forum friend - Stef, since she's ordering for her church's children's ministry, I just charged her $1.60 per cuppies with designs. I just love to do all these especially for church's missions.

Wanted to do the logo, but depends on the weather.

Steam Moist Chocolate Cupcakes

Saw this recipe in a forum but hesitated for quite some time before really pluck up my courage to try it .. no fanciful deco because I just want to try the texture and taste only .. outcome was very soft, fluffy and moist but the base was wet .. will try again to find out why ..

Kat's Birthday Cake

Finally the cake was done, I made it after coming back from JB and cook dinner for my family.

Start baking cake and filling at about 7.30pm, assemble it on Sunday morning, woke up at 5.30am ...

Katharyn was so happy to see the cake, and I am satisfied with the topper - putting she and little Alex close to each other in the heart of our Lord tells everything. ..

however since I didn't have enough cake layer to make the crumble all around the cake, heeeeeeeeeee.. so got to use sponge fingers to surround the rest..,

It was a Yam cake with fresh coconut and yam filling, cake texture was very soft, and filling was refreshing and many of them said that it was very nice .. nice combination .. !!

Kat's cake topper

Made this cake topper for my cell member, Kat for this Sunday's fellowship., tomorrow will start to bake cake and prepare fresh cream.

Purple Cake ??

I saw this purple cake in a blog .., but she got the ube .. which is dark purple .. mine??? local yam !! I couldn't get that dark purple colour for my cake, so mine is a very dull purple cake.

First time make a crumble cake .. hmmmmmmmmmm., not enough crumbs ... so it is very badly done .. hahaha !!! I just wanted to taste it .. so I halved the recipe, guess this is the reason why I didn't have enough cake layer to make crumble. As the cake is solely for testing, so frosting and deco is not important ... ;P

Wanted to make this cake - maybe for my church friend, Kat's birthday next week .. so wanted to try out first, maybe this yam cake will suit most of our cell members' taste buds .. cut out a slice for Mike and the boys to taste ... "YUMMY!!" and ........ YES!

Thin Crust Pizza

Bing2 suddenly request for pizza as breakfast, so asked Mike to go to ShopNSave to buy ingredients, found this super easy recipe found in a forum for a thin crust pizza. I had been greedy to put too much cheese on it , so much so that they cover the ham, pineapple & button mushroom .. hahahahaha. The pizza is fantastic and the boys kept asking for more, which is no problem to me because the dough is too easy to make .. :D

Dough
(Yield: 2 pcs x 12 inch pizza)

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Water
3 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Plain Flour
2 Tsp Instant Yeast

Method:
1. Put ingredients ( in sequence ) in breadmachine. Knead using dough cycle. If the mixture is too dry, add some more olive oil to become dough.

Note: You may knead the above by hand, put everything in a bowl and knead for about 10 mins.

2. After the kneading cycle - breadmachine is completed, remove the dough from bread pan. Place the dough into a well greased bowl & make sure that the dough is coated with the oil. Cover with cling wrap and leave it to rise in a warm place or double in size, ( about 1 hour ).

3. Punch down dough & divide into 2 equal parts. Or you may divide them into 4 parts for personal pizza.

4. Lightly grease the pizza pan & floured with some flour so that the pizza will not stick when baked. Roll out dough and transfer to the pizza pan.

5. Spread tomato paste over the dough and add your favourite toppings and cheese.

6. Bake pizza in pre-heated oven 220C until crisp and brown on the bottom & cheese is melted on top (about 12 minutes). Ta-da !!! Serve hot and enjoy !
