Baking Up Story

Remember i wanted to bake my little girl's first birthday cake? So, i made a trial baking of the cake and proposed cupcakes for christmas as well.



Oh well, don't be deceived by the look and the last picture where my girl looked so happy and clapped her hands. Honestly, it tastes like crap! My trusted food tester's (the daddy) feedback was "only the Betty Crockers frosting is nice. The cake is tasteless". True indeed, i made a mistake by using icing sugar. And maybe i was trying to be smart that i put lesser than the amount stated in the recipe. Before all covered up with the frosting, the poor cake was actually too dry, burnt at the sides, tunneled and peaked up. All because of my 'trying-to-be-smart' again, i baked the cake at 350C whereas in the recipe it should be baked at 350F (F not C). If converted to C should be at 175C. Adoi...nampak sangat buta mem'baking'.

And so, lesson learned. Then, i tried to bake the cupcakes. Well, this time with the right oven setting, caster sugar...it turned out quite allright. Since the food tester said so.




And so did my Laksa Sarawak. Guess we are ready to prepare for the party...YAY!
