I just realised that I have not updated my blog for nearly 2 weeks... I am too lazy to blog and update facebook these days.... What was causing me to be so lazy? The weather? my ever-chaging body shape (getting bigger and bigger)? or some other factors? I really don't know... But I am not lazing around... In fact, I was baking everyday... and night... yea, on certain nights, I could be reading up on some baking books and then just jump off the bed and start baking at 11pm... haha... abit crazy, but I couldn't wait till the next morning to try on these new recipes...
My motivation to bake comes from my family... My mum and uncle would like to expand the coffeeshop business to providing nice teatime treats for customers... apart from the usual kaya butter roti... (which unfortunately, is definitely not as good as what is offered next door)... my uncle suggested that I perfect my muffins and cakes... and we can sell it during tea time... this will also improve the business for our coffee and tea... :-D The staff have been trying the different muffins everyday... I am heartened to know that they like it... BUT the important thing is for the customers to like it... Though I have been receiving positive reviews... I am still trying to make it perfect for selling... So wish me luck! Getting nearer to my goal already.... Hopefully, I will eventually get to sell it in the shop...
As for cookies, I am keen on selling it during X'mas and Chinese New Year... So again, I have been trying everyday... new recipes as well as perfecting the old recipes...
Baking muffins and cookies are much simpler than cakes as the latter needs more time and steps to complete... instead the former just requires simple mixing (i don't even need my mixer at all)... but since xmas is approaching, I am gonna add Log Cake to the list of cakes for sale...
How can we celebrate X'mas without a log cake! On my 1st try, the icing part was a little runny...I believe the decorations would have slide off the cake had I put it on top... hahaha... So you will see a "landslide"... I left it in the fridge overnight and chocolate was still soft (but luckily it held its shape and I managed to make it look like a log)... Not too bad for a 1st try though... I just have to perfect the external part and it is ready for sale! Hopefully business is brisk :-D I am so looking forward to the X'mas cake sale... and then leave 25th free for a family X'mas party.... "All I want for Christmas is ..."
No pictures available for muffins, cookies and Log Cake yet... Will update when I have more time... I hope... heh heh...
