Decor class-Mermaid

Last week on Saturday i went for a figurine modelling class at Jaya One. I really had fun and enjoyed doing figurine work. I'm hoping to go for another class. Next class would be on fairies. At first i had wanted to go for the fairy class but it was on a weekday. And the twins have started their school after a 2 weeks school break. Even so i'm very happy with the class and the mermaid looked so pretty.

My latest cuppy design

These cuppies were a request from my mom for my cousin's wedding gift to his bride. She asked for a flowery decorations on the cuppy but I went an extra mile and made a teddy bear holding a heart....i thought it looked sooo cute. The wedding was held yesterday on Saturday (20/6/09). Theme color was blue but the cuppy looks more purpleish doesn't it.

Shopping

Me boys and i went out shopping at One Utama. The boys got some Poney shirts, i got myself a new sandal, Rory the racing car carpet for the boys playroom, and bibik got some Barney's VCD for her cousin's kids. After all that Nabil looks so bored.....as for Nazriel he said he could not sit on the stroller as he needed to do his "ucuk poopy" business. He looks so cute doing his bzness.

Ms Daisy

Everybody introducing y'al to miss daisy. Just wanted to try out something different a figurine. I think the head and hair looks fine. But need to go for a lesson in figurine modelling as i have no idea how to do her body and she's missing a hand. I kept gluing it back over and over again and it keeps falling off all the time. And i'm like what the hell and so this is how she's gonna be. wahkaka

This is the only area that i like in my house.....the ceiling and the chandelier.

These are my fondant fun image.... a 2D mickey, elmo and big bird. But Mickey looks kinda weird....i think its his mouth...i can't seem to get it right..

Shoes no.4


On Saturday last week we went to Alamanda, Putrajaya for some shopping spree. And mummy decided to get the twins another pair of shoes each. This is their 4th shoes. Their first shoes was when they were almost 1 year old and the second one was at 2 years old. Nabil chose the blue strappy sandal and Nazriel chose the funky looking one.

Cake time


Yesterday i needed to bake a cake fast as my almost full whipped cream was entering its second week and i was afraid that it would go sour. I wanted to bake this cake for a while now and i just could not find the right mood and time to do it. And so the right time came just because of the whipped cream. This is a genoise cake and strawberry whipped cream (i didn't use strawberry fruit like the recipe calls for ...too expensive... i sub it with strawberry emulco). Well the cake rosed up beautifully and it was soft and light.. like that sponge cake. And i believe i have found my sponge cake.
Here's the recipe for genoise cake:

1/3 cup of cake flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt

1)Preheat at 180C
2)Sift cake flour, cornstarch and cocoa
3)Beat together whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt at medium speed
4)Place over simmering water. Remove
4)Increase speed to high
5)Add dry ingredients in 3 additions
6)Bake for 30 mins
7)Cool in pan for 10 mins
8)Loosen the edge and invert cake onto rack.

Mr teddy


This is something that i did this morning. Since my leftover fondant is quickly drying out i was thinking that i should try doing my first 3D bear. Teddy's eyes looked kinda wierd. I made the mistake of sticking teddy's unfinished face to his body without doing his eyes, nose and mouth first. So after finishing i tried to move teddy to a plate and as you can see from the pix above teddy's arm and leg broke but i still manage to patch it up a little. Then i moved the plate into my baking cupboard... afraid if the twins could reach Mr teddy they would squash and cut him up to pieces. But i wasn't looking properly where i placed the plate ...so teddy went crashing down. I only manage to save his head. sob...sob
