overdue post from february adventure (part 2)

here's a closer picture of the hijab pins i was telling you from the first post..

 

 

told ya.. cantik kan? price ranges from RM15-RM25, i think.. hehe.. these beautiful pins are sold by my sister..

 

 

till the next bazaar, girls..

 

 

 

LET'S GO BANANAssssss

 

a good friend of mine (from my office) loves cakes.. hmm.. desserts is more like it.. so, when she found out i can bake, she requested for orange cakes, banana cakes, carrot cakes.. i love it when she makes a request.. it means, i can bake, try out recipes & my skills, and i dont have to eat the cake all by myself.. i guess that's what any bakers go thru.. rasa bersalah tau makan kek banyak2 sorang2.. nnti gain weight, susah nak turun balik.. huhu..

 

anyways.. this time around, i baked Banana Cake with Choc Chips.. here, i'll share the recipe. it's so simple, that i dont need a mixer for this recipe and it works.. fluffy.. gebus gebas i alway say.. :-)

 

 

 

BANANA CUPCAKES

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups plain flour
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp bicarb of soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 125g butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ cups mashed bananas ( approx. 4 medium bananas)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced).

In a medium sized mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarb soda and salt and with a fork, mixt together until all combined, create a well in the centre.

Add the melted butter, eggs, banana and vanilla essence.

Stir through with fork until well combined.

Fill muffin pans with your cupcake papers, then spoon in the mixture until it reaches approx the half full.

Place in oven for 12-18 minutes until golden brown on top. Leave to cool.

i also baked for a friend whose been invited to open a booth during 1 of Le Tour D Langkawi on 2 March 2014. i baked 7 trays of brownies for her to bring to the event. gosh! 7 brownies in 1 nite.. i really need another oven.. i ended up sleeping at 3 am as i only started baking at 8pm (after coming home from work). i was worn out, of course.. anyways, i hoped everyone enjoyed the brownies..

 

 

 

 

my mission for March, learn to make pavlova and Red Velvet.. i definitely need to learn about cupcakes and decorating them.. geram betul tgk rosettes lawa2 kat IG baker2.. i nak buat jugakkkk.. huhuhu...



overdue post from February adventure (part 1)..

Assalamualaikum.. hello hello.. been keeping myself busy throughout February.. a new adventure for me, my sister and cousin. Yup, we opened a booth in Subang Parade. Thanks to Ayu of Sweet N Cozy for letting me have her booth on both 9 & 22 February 2014. We had a blast and so much fun. It was tiring, but worthwhile. The experience was unforgettable.

Here are some pix from the Bazaar.. :-)

we made our 1st sale at 9a.m.. this lovely lady just came out from the gym and grab 4 boxes of our double choc brownies. i guess she was worn out from the work out.. hehe.. tq ma'am..

 

some of our single packed brownies (assorted flavors)

 

see those little bottles on the left? those are pocketbacs from Bath & Body Works.. all the way from the US.

 

cute hijabpins and satin shawls.. let me see if i have a closer picture of the pins. will update when i found it..

 

 

All in all, the sales were good, i met new customers. learnt a lot of new things too ie. managing my bakes before the bazaar starts.. i also learnt that i may need another oven which will help me save time from baking few trays at a time. still figuring out which oven though.. i'll share my thoughts in another entry.. till then..
