Cake putih ini saya buat untuk Bu Aini, salah seorang guru di TK Assalam. Kuenya sendiri sebenarnya sederhana banget tapi tetap saya berikan my best effort waktu membuatnya. Basic cakenya 2 lapis Sponge cake coklat dengan filling selai strawberry dan buttercream. Covernya buttercream putih dan didekor dengan buah strawberry segar,bunga2 gum paste, pink pills dan kupu2 serta mawar2 kecil dari fondan.



Selamat berpuasa Bu Aini. Semoga amal ibadah kita semua diterima oleh Allah SWT. Amiin.

(I made this white cake for one of teacher who teach at Assalam Kindergarten, Mrs Aini. That was just a simple cake but still I gave my best effort to make it. The basic cake was 2 layers of chocolate sponge cake, filled with strawberry jam and buttercream. Covered by white buttercream and decorated with fresh strawberry, gum paste flowers, pink pills and also little roses and butterflies made of fondant.

Happy fasting, Mrs Aini. May Allah will give all the best for you. Amiiin

Lebaran tahun ini sebetulnya pengen banget nerima pesanan kue kering tapi entah kenapa walau banyak yang berminat saya sendiri rada males-malesan. Kayaknya mood saya lebih condong ke cakes aja ketimbang cookies deh. Tapi nggak tau juga nantinya soalnya kadang moodnya suka berubah-ubah mengikuti angin berhembus kemana hehehe...



Cookies ini saya buat sebagai hadiah untuk driver mobil jemputan anak saya yang selalu setia tiap hari mengantar dan menjemput sang anak. Jasa Mas Bambang ini sangat berarti buat saya yang tidak bisa mengantar jemput tiap hari karena sibuk dengan 'anak2' yang lain yaitu bisnis kue dan furniture.


Semoga yang menerimanya suka dengan parcel kecil dari saya sekeluarga.

(I should sell more cookies for this Idul Fitri and most of my customers asked me to do that. But I didn't know why I couldn't do that. I thought I prefer making cakes to cookies. I was not sure yet since my mood usually unpredictable.

I made these cookies for the man that work as a driver at my lil' son's school. He usually pick him up everyday and his effort help me much since I didn't have much time as my business (cakes and furniture) need to be managed as well.

I hope Mr Bambang like this parcel of cookies that I made

Waktu 17-an dulu kebetulan saya sempat bikin 2 macam cupcakes. Yang satu pakai butter cake coklat dengan topping buttercream dan edible image dan satunya lagi brownies kukus yang dipadu dengan topping ganache coklat dan strawberry segar. Waktu itu pakai ganache coklat dan strawberry karena kebetulan 2 bahan itu ada dikulkas. Daripada mubazir mending dimanfaatkan. Eh rupanya bu RT (Bu Pompi) yang sempat nyicipin cup cakenya suka dengan cup cake tsb dan mengorder by FB buat dibawa ke sang mertua tersayang.


So, inilah orderan dari sang Ibu RT....Moga pada suka ya Bu dan thanks atas orderannya.

(I made 2 kinds of cup cakes in our last independence day. First I made chocolate butter cake with buttercream and edible images' topping and the second was steamed brownies which topping were chocolate ganache and fresh strawberry.

One of my neighbour, Mrs Pompi (the wife of our head of area called RT) liked the second type of cupcake and ordered me some for her mother in law. She sent me her order by facebook.

I was so happy doing her order and I hope she and her family like those cup cakes. Thanks for your order Mrs Pompi, hope you like them)

Ramadhan....Bulan yang penuh dengan keberkahan dan kebahagiaan. Alhamdulillah ditengah kesulitan yang mendera, ditengah perjuangan hidup yang semakin berat, tetapi nikmat Ramadhan masih dapat kami rasakan hingga saat ini. Alhamdulillah kebersamaan masih bisa kami untai bersama.



Menu buka puasa ini saya persembahkan buat keluarga tersayang. Insya Allah puasa kita tahun ini mendapat ridho dari Allah dan kita menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik di masa mendatang. Amiin....


(Ramadhan (Fasting Month for Moslem) is the best month for us. We are thanking God for our togetherness and our happiness during our hard days. We are hoping that Ramadhan will make us being a better person today and in the future...

So here they are, the very special from me for my beloved family. Happy fasting day
