My Lil' Cupcakes

Huahaha...

Setelah sekian lama sunyi akhirnya bersuara kembali. The reason? Ulang alik gi hospital @ klinik sampai takde masa or mood nak buat keje lain. Penat den mendukung Taufiq yang berat badannya mencecah 7.5kg tu. Takpe, asalkan sihat. Huhu... Hari tu dekat 7 jam kat hospital gara-gara tukar doktor. Huhuhuhu...

So what's new in The Mamat's Family? Huhuhuh... Yessss... After waiting for suuuuch a long time, I've finally got to buy my own set of icing nozzles from Joo Loong bakery supplies. Hehe... Cikai punya brand, bukan dari Wilton. Mahal gak la, for 24 tips about RM40. Kalau beli satu-satu lagi mahal, RM5-8. Nak kumpul 24 tips dah dekat RM200. (For real ke?!) To for me, it's as good as any brand. Here's a sneak peek of my humble nozzles @ tips.

My icing tips set

There are so many design to choose from. But I've only tried a couple that look less intimidating. Huhuhu... Oh yeah, I used a buttercream recipe from http://www.myresipi.com/ and I found it quite OK, not too sweet, and uses krimwell@marvello. For this recipe however I used cremello because that's all that I found at the bakery shop :P The ganache I used cooking chocolate and whipping cream, ratio about 2:1. The results agak sememeh sikit sebab terketar-ketar gak nak buat :P The cuppies I used my Choc Moist Cake about half the batter and I got 12 soufle cups.

Just butterceam

My workstation yang kecah

It's pretty messy playing around with buttercream, especially during the cleanup. But I'll keep on trying next time to better my results. Oh yeah, ada cite baruuu. En. Hubby belikan rice cooker jenis microcomputer. Huhu... Boleh bake punya ;) Next time wat pakai cooker nak test macam mana. Mungkin leh wat kek-kek lain laks ;)
