55 Cupcakes for 55th Birthday Celebration

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

 55 pieces of rainbow cupcakes with 55 candles for Ibu's 55th birthday celebration.

Pheww! You must have a trained skill to light up these candles in less than a minute before the first one blew up. That, I forgot to consider. Notice the long lighter? I bought that for the purpose of lighting up these candles. Notice the hand with the small lighter? Okay, that was the back up plan because the candles were about to melt. Hahaha.. Thank you Firdouse.

We celebrated my mother's birthday here, Restoran Hj. Sharin Low (if I'm not mistaken, excuse us for the bright light in the picture) in Seksyen 7, Shah Alam. This was my first time here.

Here's the video that was taken by my hubby. Please ignore the voice of the camera man, okay. Hahaha.. Something happened and the video suddenly become dark.. for a while.

Happy Birthday Aqiel!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t...

Last weekend, my cousin Azuwa held a 2nd birthday party for her son, Aqiel. And this time she ordered me not just one but two cakes with Upin Ipin theme. So I thought, ok, I can do that. I just need a little more time to make two cakes. Then, when she said one of the cakes would be a two tier cake, I gasped. Ok... let's take the challenge.

So, after 12 hours of hardworking on Saturday, these were the results:

The bottom tier was a chocolate cake and the upper tier was a butter cake with blueberry filling.

This one was a chocolate cake.

The next day, we sent these cakes quite early to their house in Nilai, so that we can eat early. Because Umie was lazy (tired) to prepare breakfast, so let's have brunch instead. Hahaha...

The decorations were awesome. Azuwa did it all by herself. I'm quite impressed. Azuwa wanted the smaller cake (on the table) to be a pre-cake cutting birthday cake. So that people who came early and couldn't wait for the cake cutting session can have a taste of the birthday cake. Very thoughtful of her, kan?

And this girl was saying peace holding up one finger. How cute.
Eh, Qina, why are you wearing Umie's shoes?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOHAMAD AQIEL ASHRIEL!

p/s: Kalau anda bercadang untuk mengadakan birthday party dengan tema upin ipin, anda boleh berhubung dengan Azuwa untuk maklumat lanjut. Email me for her number. TQ.

115 Birthday Candles

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

This cake was made on 8/9/2012.

Simple yet so delicious. Hahaha.. How do I know? Because I have tasted it and it tasted different than usual. Maybe because of the cocoa powder that I bought urgently from the bakery near my house. Quite expensive though. My hubby gave me some credits for the taste and that is RARE...

Ni birthday cake Mak Long dan Pak Long yang diorder oleh Azuwa. Birthday Mak Long memang jatuh pada hari yang disambut iaitu 8/9/2012 tapi birthday Pak Long is a few days after that. I can't recall the exact date that Azuwa told me but I'm sure it is in the same month. The birthday was celebrated at Aishah's house during  kenduri for Rayqal's Aqiqah.

The cake was baked the night before and the next morning it took me like two hours to get done with the icing. Writing on the cake was the fun part. I can't afford to do any mistake especially on the spelling. So, as usual I called the twins to join me and double check my spelling. Hahaha.. As if.

When the writing was done and everything looked okay to me, I asked them "So, what do you think?"

Wana: Happy Birthday. Mak 56, ketupat, Ayah 59.
Umie: Ketupat? And la..
Wana: And? Ooo..Mak and Ayah.
Wani: TUA nya Ayah dia..?!
Umie: ....???? (dalam hati: belum lagi letak lilin 56 + 59, semput nak tiup)

Sekian, terima kasih.

2nd Birthday!

Happy Birthday Zafri!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

[LATE ENTRY]

Birthday Zafri sebenarnya pada 31/7/2012. Disambut bersama dengan Hari Pahwalan. (sebelum ni tak pernah pun sambut Hari Pahlawan, tak tahun pun sebenarnya) Tapi sebab tahun 2012 ni jatuh pada bulan puasa, maka mama dan ayah Zafri tak boleh nak buat Birthday Party untuk Zafri. Kita sambut sendiri-sendiri je la kat rumah. Lepas mama dan ayah Zafri belanja kitorang bukak puasa, malam tu bila semua dah selesai, kami pun celebrate birthday Zafri. Keluarlah bermacam-macam hadiah yang meriah, menarik, besar dan gabak di atas meja makan tu. Maka ramai la kanak-kanak di dalam rumah tu yang tak tenteram duduk tengokkan hadiah-hadiah tu. Berdebar-debar agaknya dorang. Hahaha... Alaa.. Gambar hadiah takde pulak. Ishh, ni rase macam nak beli kamera ni.

Anyway.. umie pun ada surprise untuk Zafri dan untuk semua orang sebenarnya. Tadaa..

Ok, kek ni amat selekeh. Sebab tak pernah buat. Ingatkan senang nak buatnya tapi ya ampun lecehnya... Tapi yang paling penting Zafri suka sangat! Hehehe... Mama Zafri pun suka. Berbaloi aunty Ilham buat tau. Thanks to kakak wanawani sebab tolong umie. Without your help, this cake could be better... ooppss! Hahaha..

Yang dua orang lagi aunty tu tau complaint je. Ada ke tak puas hati kenapa umie letak tomato kat atas kek tu? Suka hati la. Zafri kan suka tomato. Lagi pun tu sahaja buah yang ada kat kedai buah tu. Nak pergi Jusco dah tak sempat. Hahaha.... Tak boleh blah alasan.

Lastly, Happy Birthday Zafri. Be a good boy..

Happy 22nd Birthday

Hari Jumaat yang lepas bersamaan 20/7/2012 kami sekeluarga menyambut hari lahir Afiza yang ke 22 tahun. Macam biasa, Umie akan buat kek untuk semua orang (ahli keluarga terdekat sahaja tau) yang celebrate birthday. Oleh kerana dah jemu makan kek coklat yang biasa Umie buat, Umie pun buat experiment dengan mencuba kek baru. Kek coklat lapis chees cake. Masa baru lepas masak, sangat tempting untuk dicuba. Umie cuba rasa baki kek pada loyang, memang sedap. Rasa macam nak potong sikit kek ni dan makan. 

Tapi tak boleh la kan. Kena decorate dulu. So ini lah hasil decoration Umie yang tak seberapa. 

Boleh la kan...

Tapi yang sedihnya, bila dah dipotong, kek ni tak jadi... Huhuhu.. Sebabnya tak tau. Mungkin sebab disimpan dalam peti sejuk lama sangat kot. Keras semacam. So, baki kek telah dibuang ke dalam tong sampah. (Not a happy ending story after all..)

Sekian, terima kasih.

~takmo citer banyak2, sangat frust!~

Double Celebration!

7/7/2012 hari tu, kami sekeluarga celebrate birthday wanawani yang ke 6 tahun. Tahun ni tak buat birthday party pun. Kalau tiap-tiap tahun buat, boleh kopak duit Ummie. Huhuhu.. Sempat juga Ummie buat dua kek untuk budak berdua tu. Siapnya pukul 2 pagi. Hahaha.. Nasib baik esoknya cuti, boleh ganti tido..

Bila ditanya nak letak gambar apa kat kek masing-masing, macam-macam kartun yang disebut. Little Mermaid la, Princess la, Aurora la, Barbie la, apa la.. Pergi bakery first time, banyak edible image yang dah habis. Yang ada Boboiboy dengan Spongebob je. Beli la jugak Spongebob tu sebab colour dia agak menarik. Tapi dapat satu je. Lagi satu mana nak cari. Balik rumah tunjuk kat wanawani, dorang suka. Tapi kena cari lagi satu gambar.

Pergi bakery second time, stok baru dah ada. Macam-macam gambar ada. Bila nampak ada gambar Princesses dengan Barbie ni, Ummie senyum sorang-sorang kat bakery tu. Hehehe.. Terus beli dan tunjuk pada budak-budak tu bila balik dari pejabat. Tak sempat sampai rumah pun, tunjuk kat rumah Nanny terus. Melompat dorang..! Hahaha..

Termakbul juga hajat nak cuba buat Rainbow Cake ni. 

Bila dah siap kek ni (pukul 2 pagi), terus simpan dalam fridge tanpa masuk dalam kotak kek. Ngantuk punya pasal. Selain tu buat alasan kat diri sendiri, tak payah la kotak-kotak ni, esok bila nak potong keluarkan terus letak atas meja. Sekali, di malam kejadian, bila keluarkan kek, tengok ada gelembung-gelembung atas dua-dua kek. Ini adalah akibat blower fridge kuat sangat. Hahahaha... Tu la, Ummie malas lagi. Nasib bukan kek orang order. 

Happy 6th Birthday Wanawani. Semoga menjadi anak-anak yang solehah, taat dan sayang pada family, cemerlang dalam pelajaran dan ceria bersama selalu. Jangan gaduh-gaduh tau. Amin.
