Baking Projects

And my de-stressing activities continue... actually these pix are not that recent..

I love making fondant shapes, and for my cousin's recent engagement in November, I made him a daisy-themed heart-shaped cake.  Had to make the daisies days before so that they could have time to dry.  I was using fondant, instead of gum paste, so the drying took longer.





I know..the flowers are a bit overwhelming, but I made a lot of them, so it's kinda wasting if I didn't use all of them up :)

I also love cheesecakes.  These are made for my mini RCK (rombongan cik kiah) reunion last weekend, but of course I brought the big one for the RCK.  The minis are for my brood.  Nanti bising if they don't have any left.  For cheescakes, Aina will always help me up with the crust base. It was all entirely her effort.


As for these cookies, Adam helped me to bake to bake them, as they were all for his school fund-raising activity.  I just don't want him to just ask for donations, so it's better for him to start selling something.  But somehow, it ended up that Mom had to sell these in my office!



And here is my first experiment with the so-called rainbow cake, yup, not enough colors and not arranged accordingly.  Well, what the heck, as long it became a cake hehehe. It was for Amir's 9th birthday.



Aina made the blue race car while Mom did the yellow one. Aisha's car? Well, it was on the tracks...she was playing with it on the floor! :p


Finally the cuppies I made for Ariff and his parents anniversary in early September.




One thing I like about baking - my kids just love to help. One great activity for bonding!
