bakes & cakes 15

My last bakes and cakes was in February...Ya Allah lamanya tak update my bakes! Well, it's not because I did not do any baking but most probably I've been baking the same the same stuff over and over again. soo... this weekend I decided to go through my food folder and realized there are a few 'cakes' that has not been uploaded yet.

Strawberry meringue layer cake, recipe from one of Nigella's cookbook, requested by Alia for her birthday.
Senang aje, she chose her own cake, tunjuk kat mama, siap dengan resipi2 skali. Mama just cakap ok, boleh buat.

Irfan's birthday cake, rainbow cake with m&ms. He doesn't really know what cake he wanted, so he just stick to the ones that he's familiar with.
Tersipu-sipu pulak bila kita nyanyi happy birthday kat dia..
nicely cut to be eaten
another birthday cake, for my 1-yr-old niece
recipe is the same as rainbow cake but in pink with cream cheese frosting
My hariraya cake, well, not mine actually...2 red velvets for MIL, another 2 for grandma, kek kukus masam manis for my mom and kek suji for nenek kajang. took me 5 hours to bake all these, excluding the frosting on the red velvet. Frosting was done a day after... tak larat to do it on the same day..baking during Ramadhan is really challenging.
chocolate pavlova with kiwi and pineapple... couldn't find any strawberry to top it off ;-(
irfan really loves the meringue, makan macam to aje, maybe next time I'll just make that for him.
Superfudgy brownies with choc chip and walnut, requested by my neighbour, thank you for your order, Kak Kin..

Raya 2014


 Selamat hari raya, this year first raya @ senawang.... the customary photo every year..
 My favourite family photo for raya
gambar ramai-ramai...would you believe the whole photo session took 40 minutes! 

main dulu while waiting everybody to get ready to jalan raya
raya @kajang. went to six houses for raya today. after so many rayas i learned the trick to survive house to house raya...you only eat the smallest possible amount of food in every house...just enough to not offend the hosts and be able to say ' dah, dah makan dah...'

2nd raya @ grandma's place in Jasin. Jalan raya to another six houses today. I just realized that  we did not take any photo in Jasin except with my grandma. No family photos here this year.

Last house 2 Syawal...sorang dah pengsan, sikecik tgk tv, sorang lagi layan sikecik tengok tv ;-)
