Stories behind the cakes....

This year Aidiladha was a bit different to us as one of my hubby's cousin gotten engage on the very day. The occasion was after the Friday prayers. But before that, i baked 30 pcs of muffins and 270 pcs of plain cupcakes for wedding favors. These favors traveled to the north on last Wednesday.
At same time, i prepared 50 pcs mix flavors of cupcakes for makan-makan occasion in one of the office in Nilai.
Once the cupcakes and muffins done, i bake 2 cakes, one was heartshaped and one was round for the hantaran of the engagement of the cousin. Earlier they had given me the 'bekas' hantaran. The bekas-bekas to me were a bit heavily decorated so i decided the cakes should be a simple ones. So here was one of the hantaran cake, simple decorated with lines at the side ( i need more practice to have the lines very straight) and big cut off pink flowers and small yellow and purple flowers on top for a girl side to a guy. The cake was butter cake sandwiching blueberry filling.
Then the boy hantaran to the girl was a simple blue polka dots with pinks flowers. The cake was butter cake sandwiching strawberry filling.

The ceremony went very well and the girl looked so resplendent in blue. Congratulation Nisha and hope to see you 'bersanding' soon and berkekalan hingga ke anak cucu. Thank you for your trust in me for doing your hantaran cakes. Glad to know you both like them.
Then the Saturday morning, i send this chocolate cake to a nearby Taman, requested by fellow blogger Kay...she has been a great support to my small bakery biz. Thank you Kay and hope the children and the adults enjoyed the cake as much as i enjoyed making it.

After delivering the cake, we went up to Bkt Beruntung, my big brother's place to have a belated gathering of Aidiladha.....the itenaries was eating, eating and more eating while yakking and watching tv. We only left for Seremban around 8 and safely home 2 hours later feeling so full even the boys were complaining of eating too much ha ha ha......told them sekali sekala tak aper lah.......
