Fairly Fondant

I have been admiring a few of my friends over Facebook on their exquisite skills with fondant cake decoration for quite some time.

It's time to put my admiration to a test. Sebelum tu, study dulu from the institute of youtube.

Hasilnya - Aina's birthday cake.



I actually had to roll over and over again coz the fondant kept on sticking to the mat. Both Aina & Adam assisted me, by suggesting different methods and ingredients to deter the stickiness. We followed the recipe which was to use icing sugar, but it didn't work. Last-last kita pakai corn starch. Aisha pun sebok. She insisted on using the flower cutter to make her own flower. Mama layan aje, and asked everybody to stick the little blue flowers. Sebab tu la banyak variation if you observe properly. Anyway, bila dah jadi tu, rasa very satisfied.



We had a family gathering over tea, and celebrated my nephew's birthday too. It's Azzam's 9 year old birthday. So Mama made a few cupcakes with cream cheese topping too, which was a hit coz they were not too sweet.






Mama sungguh gumbira, lepas ni boleh try lagi..kut2 la boleh buatkan kek hantaran untuk 2 orang adik-adikku yang belum naik pelamin lagi tu..

Smitten by Seth!

By now, I’m sure a lot of ladies out there are still thinking of Seth. Seth Tan is a character from the tv series Nora Elena, who have smitten a lot of ladies out there, married or not. Why? Well, Seth is the epitome of the almost perfect man. Though he sinned when he was younger, he came to admit his fault and try to correct what ever he did wrong. On top of that, he’s the most caring, gentle and the ever romantic hubby material a woman coud ever dream of, laced with the good looks and good fortune. Almost perfect huh? Makes you want to be in Nora Elena’s shoes.

Which is why I followed the series recently. But I think my more authentic reason is because the character is played by Aaron Aziz. He carried his role well, with his deep expression of love and guilt. I hardly watch malay movies/series, except when they are the good actors/actresses. By good I mean looks and talent ☺. And the very few that made this list are Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Adi Putra, and maybe Aqasha or Fahrin Ahmad. Errmm, do notice there hardly any actress in the list. Well, that depends on whom they are being paired with…chuckled!

Anyway, back to Seth. The series is an adaptation of a novel, which revolves around Nora Elena who have been raped by a masked guy when she was 15. 10 years later, when she was about to get married, she bumped into Seth, who turns out to be her fiance’s boss and her good friend’s brother. When she told her fiance about her past, coupled with his suspicion on her having an affair with Seth, he broke off their engagement. Seth came to rescue her family from embarassment by offering himself to be the groom. And they got married much to Nora’s resentment. The marriage is all about Seth wooing her to accept him, but later just when she discovered that she’s pregnant, she found out that it was Seth who raped her. So, it’s all about accepting, apologizing and a bit of drama from Seth’s secret admirer who turns out to be his secretary.

It was Nora Elena fever for a month! I think if it was Saleh Yaakob or Rosyam Noor, I don’t think this series would get so many followers. For me, it was more of Aaron in Seth’s character…his style, expression and all…well, it just does it for me. In the end….inilah akibat suami kurang romantik! Hehe, sorry Dad!
