things made last week

last week baked another similar cake to the one me sold to my ex-colleague... maybe the "ex-colleague" will become my "colleague" again in feb... still wondering whether to go to work or not... seems like a good idea to spend time and earn some money too... otherwise me will be loitering at home for the whole feb... good to earn some pocket money b4 going to japan ba.... me changed the design of the cake abit... but still the same idea ba... took nice pics with the cake... with flowers as the background... haha.... here they are....

deviate a bit from baking... last sunday spent the whole afternoon making 燕饺 "hockchew dumplings"... wonder if the chinese chars can be read... anyway it is a delicacy from my dialect grp... it can be eaten in steamboats, or used in soups or noodles... anyway u want to eat it... even without anything, it tastes heavenly... still fascinated by the skin to make the dumplings... it's made by pork but looks like paper??? hmm.... anyway here are some photos how the dumplings look like... made more than 400 of them... tmw still have to make more!!!

got another order while in macau

just back from a tiring hk trip... during my short trip to macau, suddenly received a phonecall to order a cake for tmw... thus, me had to bake rite the day after coming back from hk...
went for bread exam in the morning... after that, came home to bake the cake... actually still not quite confident of baking a vanilla sponge after changing to the new recipe... the first sponge made was quite a disaster bcos of some factors... however, me changed something in the recipe and hey presto! the sponge cake turned out perfect... was so happy that the cake tasted so nice... me was sick of making fruit flan... so me changed the design of the cake... hope that my ex-colleague will like it... hehe... but me cannot taste the whole cake... bcos me dunno if the cake will taste well with the combination of the fruits... shall make another one soon to try it out since me still got a lot of fruits left... hehe... shall share it with my "buddy"... and my other frens??? since wont be able to finish such a big cake ba... hehe....
the cake looks so good in the picture with so many fruits on the top.... haiz... hope me wish me can eat it... looks yummy....
