Stressed!!....

Last Monday i was telling myself that my kitchen would be very quite last week. The only confirmed order was wedding favors for a few hundreds of assorted muffins to be delivered on Saturday. Then later that evening an sms came inquiring about my cheese blueberry tartlets, the girl wanted them on Saturday and to be delivered to Kuala Pilah and i told her I was not free to deliver. She changed the delivery to Friday. I said ok. She paid me online just an hour later after the sms. Alhamdullillah.....
Tuesday, a call came in asking if i could make a birthday cake for Saturday do. I said only a simple deco cake and she had to collect the cake from my house. On Wed night she and the daughter came to the house to talk more about the cake. I was very nervous as from the discussion, the party was going to be a grand one. I told her that i couldnt spend too long on the deco, simple sweet deco suitable for a 3 years old was ok, and she agree. I was relief but she added with 150 pcs of fruit tarts. After she left that night i was doing mental scheduling for my baking and slept soundly as i felt God is very generous to me.....
However, on Friday after making the tartlets dough and pressed it in the individual molds, the tap went dry. Holy...sh*t...my plan went into the drain....after fetching the boys from school, baked the tartlets and delivered them to Kuala Pilah in the evening. I went with a friend and there we found one kopitiam serving nasi campur and i had a mean assam pedas kepala tenggiri....
Coming home from KP, the tap was still dry. I was worried, but i didn't panic. The water only came around 8 in the evening. I baked the 3 kg cake, while waiting i made the fruit tartlets dough and pressed. For 150 pcs i had to make 2 recipes of the dough. By the time i baked the tartlets bases, the time was already showing 2.00 am. I went to sleep as i knew that i was going to be on my feet the whole of next day. True enough....i woke up, send my hubby and angah to KTM station at 7.00 am and i started to deco the cake, i am not good at butter cream deco, this simple pink deco took me more than 2 hours to finish....then made the custard for the tartlets. Had brunch with my youngest boy. Started to cut the fruits for the tartlets, assembled them and sms the customer once done. After they left with the cake and tartlets, i took half hour rest. And i forgot to take the picture of the tartlets..btw, i had too many pictures of it anyway...


Then i started baking the muffins, packed them and only leave Seremban to Klang at almost 6.00 in the evening and that too i forgot to take the pictures he he.....

the Principal,

each of us is blessed with our own strengths and weaknesses....i maybe be a good cook but i cant handle small children except for my own....so we accept the good and the bad....
