Strawberry swirl cheesecake

Today we have department reunion party. So, I baked strawberry swirl cheesecake. This is how it's look like before I deco it.
Since I have butter cream balance from Black forest cake last Sunday, so I decided to make very simple deco by using the only nozzle that I have ( rossete). So this is the result.
Nak order? Please make your order at least 4 days in advance ok. Email/sms/call okeyy

Mawaddah 1st year birthday Celebration

Event:Mawaddah 1st year birthday celebration
Date: 25 March 2007
Time: 6.30pm
Venue: Taman Ehsan Kepong

Mawaddah tengah tunggu ketibaan tetamu. tetamunya hanya uwan, atok & kak fiza ( jiran sebelah). Perasan tak Mawaddah dah pandai jalan guna kasut ;) Syok btol dia jalan2 keliling rumah sambil Mama jemur kain & berkebun kat laman rumah.

Setelah setengah tunggu, barulah semua tetamu sampai. Itupun sesudah Ayah & Abg Mus'ab gi jemput personally naik motor kat umah atok & uwan. Sampai balik kg gitu. Kg belakang umah :p. OKlah Mawaddah nak masuk dulu.Taraaaa. Ni lah Black Forest Cake mama buat. Mama, thax a lot luv uuu muahahah. Mama buat sampai 2 hari maaa. Masa first day ( sabtu) lepas Mama dah tidurkan Mawaddah, mama turun balik sebab nak decorate cake tu. sampai kui 12 tgh malam, tetiba jek whipping cream tu tak cukup, tak dpt nak buat rossete. So terpaksa sambung esoknya, kene gi beli whipping kat kedai kek dulu. Renyah toi nak nyiapkannya.

Abang Mus'ab pon tumpang gumbira ;)
Opps..Mama taleh kasi Mawaddah potong okey. Kalau kasi Mawaddah alamatnya hancus la kek ni.
Nak habiskannyer mmg kejap ajek...nak membuat yg lama

1st baking class

[1]
How do i feel now after attending my 1st baking class on last Sunday?. Frustration and dissatisfaction actually. I was paying RM60 for 3 hours but in actual the class stopped very early for 50 minutes. It was stopped early because the instructor didn’t show us how to decorate the Carrot Moist Cake. I was actually very interested to know how to do the baby carrot on top of the Cake after laying the cream cheese topping on it. RM60 covers three types of cakes: Carrot Moist Cake, Peace Cream Cheese Cake and Black Forest Cake. Can you guess which cake that I would like to try this weekend for Mawaddah birthday? ;)

What the PPIM book said is really true. Some of the cake sold in the market has been added up of non halal ingredients. Because of I am the only muslim in the class, so they need to omit Kirsh ( a type of Liquor) in the Black Forest Cake. Thanks for respecting me as a muslim. The instructor said the rest should use Kirsh because the Cake would taste different and more delicious. Instead of Kirsh, we can use Dark Pitted Cherry Syrup , that also one of the ingre for the cake.

Same like Peach Cream Cheese, they use Gelatin. The Gelatin has normal halal logo, but I was having a very doubtful feeling. I only used Gelatin from Halalgel. I cannot trust other brand so far. As Carrot Moist Cake, they all used halal ingre.
So, be careful when you want to buy cake for any shop. Or you can order the cake from me in future :p

I think I’m not going to join the next baking class with the same provider. I’ve been searching a few classes thru Internet, and finally I think I’ve found the better one. Maybe kot. The cost is RM550 for 4 sessions. I heard that we’ll be getting bonus very soon. I will take some to pay the fees and the rest will be top up in TH account. Insyallah will register for May class as Abang is not at home in April for 10 days. Huk huk. April gonna be my Curtain Sewing Month la kot.

Last night I managed to visit my friend’s baby, Ogy who is currently being warded in Damai. The baby is having virus infection in lung. Yesterday, she look better and hope she will recover very soon. Coincidently, I also met Yani there. We were having interesting chit chat but time was so limited, our baby being restless and we just met in short time.

Congrate to Hani for having their 3rd kid, a cutie baby girl last night. Yesterday evening about 6.20pm, I just met her near the pantry while I was walking over the pantry to get my expressed BM. She’s my neighbor in our level . I asked her EDD, and she said will be on 28 March. But knowing her, she always deliver early. So I just said “ Mesti esok atau takpon malam ni la Hani bersalin sebab baby tu nak sama tarikh besday ngan Mawaddah” What a coincident, the baby was born on the same date with Mawaddah, 20 March. Boleh jadi kawan baik eh? I guess you were having such a fast and easy labor ek. Another coincident that we have is actually, Mus’ab’s birthday is on the same date as Hani Hubby (Hire) birthday. Anyone going to visit Hani today?

Selamat HariJadi Sayang

My little Mawaddah is growing up!!she is 1 yrs old today.

Sayang dah setahun yer. Rasanya seperti baru melahirkanmu. Dalam diam anak mama dah makin membesar.

Teringat lagi masa tiba saat melahirkan. Sakitnya tak tumpah macam Abang Mus'ab. Sayang nak lihat mama cepat rupanya. Jadi sayang lahir seminggu awal dari tarikh jangkaan. Mula sakit ketuban darah & kontraksi terus kuat. Tak sampai 4 jam sakit, Mawaddah dah lahir. Itupun lambat sebenarnya sebab Mama ambil masa lebih setengah jam nak meneran dek akibat kesan Epidural. Mama teran bodoh aje dengan matlamat anak mama keluar cepat tanpa bantuan Vakum atau Forsep. Kali ni Mama dapat rasa bersalin menggunakan Epidural masa bukaan serviks dah mencapai 6cm ;) Ayah kata Mama saja tambah Bil Hospital sbb guna Epi kejap sgt :p

Apa yang Mawaddah dah pandai yer sekarang? Mawaddah dah pandai jalan masa berumur 11 bulan. 3 bulan lebih awal dari Abang Mus'ab jalan. Mama bersyukur sangat pada Allah.
Cakap? Dah pandai sebut: 1) Ma 2) Nak 3) Tak nak
Anak mama yang perempuan ni mmg byk beza dgn Abg Mus'ab. Mungkin perempuan, jadi Mawaddah lebih bersopan, lembut dan boleh beri konsentrasi lebih masa Mama bacakan buku. Abg Mus'ab memang suka sangat buli dan kacau adik yer. Cemana la Mama & Ayah tak selalu naik angin. Mama sampai naik risau sangat tengok Abg yang suka sangat buli Adik. Mama tetiap malam baca doa & surah Toha hembus atas kepala Abg Mus'ab tu biar dia lembut sikit. Itulah amal Mama masih belum cukup lagi. Patutnyer kene tambah solat Hajat, Tahajud etc. Tolonglah jauhkan semua kemalasan & godaan syaitan . Nasib baik Mawaddah byk bersabar dgn karenah Abg, Mawaddah tak rebut barang dengan Abg Mus'ab, moga2 jadi anak baik ;)

Oklah sayang, Mama nak cuba buat spesel kek besday Sabtu ni. So, tungguuuu. Mama baru belajor wat kek tu Ahad lepas kat Grace Home Cakes. Moga Mawaddah jadi anak solehah. Em..Ayah kata Mawaddah dah setahun, dah boleh jalan. So, boleh tambah adik lagi.erkk..Mama rasa that's not a really good idea kan? Tunggu la Mawaddah dapat nyusu badan sampai 2 tahun dulu kan? ;)

Lagi satu, Mawaddah lom pandai jalan guna kasut ek. Mama tgk, bila Mawaddah pakai kasut mesti terus duduk sbb nak tgk kasut cute tu. Agaknya Mama kene beli kasut tak cute kot? Lain kali kita prektis lg ok?
Sejak balik dari Hospital pon Mawaddah suka minum susu botol ek? Harap2 jangan la terus jatuh cinta dgn susu botol tu yer. Mama nak nyusukan Mawaddah sampai 2 tahun..tu azam Mama.

Salam sayang seribu kali sayang sempena harijadimu Nur Mawaddah, Cahaya Kasih Sayang ;)

FD Plan 2007 progress

Curtain sewing project just resuming today after almost 3 weeks break. I only managed to complete one room night curtain. Alhamdulillah, I feel my body is getting stronger & healthier.
Insyallah, I'll start joining my first baking class tomorrow. Thanks Abang for allowing me leaving you with the kids for half day ;)
As far as the another FD plan is concern (kitchen rennovation), I'm still waiting for my KWSP money bank into my account. Sembap nyer kwsp ni. They said I have to wait for 21 working days. I've been applied the withdrawal since 2 Feb 07. More than 21 working dys kan? Sabo je la

It's Friday

Start working today. Not so much to do.

This is Marble Cheesecake order by one of my best officemate, Aishah. Shah, happy birthday dear! ;) Picture seem not so clear. I think our digicam is not very good, maybe.
Sorry dear, you asked for 1kg cake. I'm so surprised that 1kg cream cheese make this 3kg cake. Before this I used 500 gm cheese that only make 800gm ++ cake. I don't why the weight was not so standard. The factors maybe: the size of egg, temperature, doa etc. Anyway, makan puas2 okey.

Denggi

1 Mac, Khamis aku mula demam. Mawaddah pon demam. Mwdh cepat sembuh sehari je demam.|

8 Mac, Khamis. Demam genap seminggu. Dah 5 kali g klinik. Suhu badan memang panas tahap gaban. Badan dah tak tahan, so kami minta referral letter untuk ke Hospital. Sampai aje DSH, terus Dr buat X ray, urine test & blood test. Hasil ujian, mmg sah denggi. Aku kuatkan semangat untuk tinggal di wad. Berperang dgn perasaan sbb tak dpt nk bayangkan aku akan tido tanpa Mawaddah yg masih menyusu. Jam4.15ptg Abg balik untuk ambik kids & uruskan hal2 di rumah. Semua Abg lakukan seorang tanpa bantuan MakAbah sebab mereka pon demam. Mlm tu aku tak tido langsung. Asyik ingat umah. In betwn, aku tak lupa memerah cam biasa tp sume susu aku buang aje.

9 Mac, Jumaat. Platlet turun lg. Abg sampai jam 11 pagi. Abg bawa sup ketam. Beberapa kawan ofis datang melawat. Berjaya juga mereka kesan wad aku even aku tak bagitau. Abg teman sampai jam 5 ptg. Lps maghrib aku asyik berendam air mata ingatkan Mwdh. Sib baik ada buku La Tahzan bantu pulih semangat. Mlm tu aku berjaya tido dgn bantuan pil tido. 1st time amik pil tido.

10 Mac, Sabtu. Abg dtg bawa kids. Aku rindu sgt kat kidz sebab dah 2 hari tak jumpa depa. Kids teman aku sampai lps Maghrib. Hari tu aku tak menangis sbb happy sgt dpt jumpa depa. Mlm tu aku berjaya tido gak dgn bantuan pil tido.

11 Mac, Ahad. Tak sangka aku ada orang melawat. Thanks YatiPruz N ZaridFahmy. Lagi tak sangka bila Dr kata Pletlet naik sket & aku bleh kuar Wad. Jam 12 drip dah cabut, tp kami tunggu bill settle punya lama. Jam 4.30ptg baru kuar Spital.

12 Mac, Isnin. Kidz aku hantar gi umah babysitter sbb badan rasa belum kuat. Tido je yg byk. Sebelah pagi, orang kementerian mai cek rumah & sekitar kawasan umah jiran. Rumah kami ok. Few rumah jiran depa jumpa tempat aedes membiak. Be4 maghrib depa mai lagi utk Fogging satu rumah & sekitar rumah jiran. Huh baunya sampai today ada lagi.

13 Mac & today. I spent my time with my kids. Bila Mama jaga, nampak sume terurus. Anak mandi elok, makan elok, belajar elok, dinner pon siap cepat Abg gumbira ;) Seronoknya. Esok tinggal sehari lg MC
Insyallah Jumaat mula kerja.

Pengalaman kali ni mmg sukar nk dilupakan. Aku tak pernah masuk wad kecuali bersalin. Bersalin pon kejap aje 2 nite stay. Then, tak pernah pisah tido mlm ngan Mawaddah sejak dia dilahirkan. Kalau outstation pon angkut skali. Then, tak penah makan pil tido. Huh hasilnya mmg memuaskan, rasa macam sehari tidur even baru tido 5 jam ;)Benornya aku risau nak amik pil tido. Aku kata kat Nurse, takut2 kot terbuang air atas tilam ker..drip air abeh aku tak sedar ker..rupanya semuanya masih sedar walau tido nyenyak. Lg satu DSH ni selesa jugak compare 2 spital yg aku dok be4 this. Anak ke 3 nanti leh bersalin sini kot Abg?
Mmg sengaja tak inform kawan2 sbb nak rest. Call pon aku tak layan, sms je layan. Sorry eh.
Syukur semuanya dah berakhir. Syukur sgt Mawaddah tak kene Denggi. Mama kene sorang pon dah cukup. Mama redha.
Ups, dlm ujian ni ade juga terselit good news.Nur Mawaddah dah mula berjalan. Mmg kene sgt dgn target Mama dia, nk jalan sebelum setahun ;)

My first Cream Puff

I'm spending my MC today with my little Mawaddah. Both of us are having fever with flu & cough. Mwdh temp. is 38 while myself is 37. I'm not sending Mus'ab to babysitter's house, but sending him to Atok&Wan's house. Reason, he always like to bully his sister. I cannot handle my emo and anger when facing with his nakal attitude and tantrum.

Last weekend my SIL's family, Kak Ain spent a night in our house as she was attending a Seminar in KL. My kids seem really enjoy spending the weekend with playing, laughing, fighting etc with their counsin, Abir & Aufa.

Before the went back to Sitiawan, I baked my first Cream Puff for the kids. The recipe is from Yani, myrecipe.org but I did a bit change.

Here we go the recipe:
100ml water
100ml milk
90gm butter
120gm flour
4 eggs
You also need a round nozzle

Step by step instruction, pls click here.

Custard cream

1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons sugar
200 ml (1 cup) fresh milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter
Step by step instruction, pls click here.

For the first time. I think it's quite hard to shape it by using piping bag. Will improve later maybe?? any tips?

Tw0 of my officemate, Elis & Sarah is celebrating birthday in Feb. So, I baked this Marble Cheesecake for them, all officemate also enjoyed it except my bos. She was MC on Monday.
