Bakes and Cakes

I have been busy and lazy (as well...ah well, think this is allowable at this time of the year, when everyone else is on holiday, but I'm still slogging at work and in the kitchen!), hence, the quietness and no reply of your comments.....thank you for support, wonderful people! Here are the bakes and cakes of last week and yesterweek....

Thank you Zira and Huda for this order! Congo Bars!

Moist Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese, Chocolate Ganache and Fresh Strawberries...thank you Zira! This is her childrens' favourite!

If only I can have this real thing for my birthday! Oreo cake wrapped in fondant! Thank you Lorina!

Yellow and Pink Macarons for Hanini's hantaran. Feedback that I got from her was that there were ants (?, from my car?) and the shells cracked quite easily...I insisted on returning her money, she refused, I will send her some macarons to make up for this! Thank you Hanini!

Fruit cake wrapped in pale pink fondant, ordered by my Mak Long (she does hantaran!). Thank you Mak Long!

 My all time favourite...Victoria Sandwich Cake, ordered by Idzan. I couldn't take her order for a cutting cake and she ordered this instead, thank you Idzan....waiting for your macarons order! 

 Putih and merah for hantaran, thank you Huda!

Chocolate Macarons with Chocolate Ganache, Rasberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Strawberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream, thank you SHP, my Amber Chia!

Condensed Milk Pound Cake

It was Maal Hijrah yesterday, and it was a public holiday, yeay! It was a breather, so I cleaned the boys' room and made some Green Tea Macarons and this cake! Shared this cake with Amli and Suhaila, Tina (she bakes, too) and Bad and Liza and their girls who came for dinner with tapaued food from Johnny's...great, wonderful, life is a blast!

Got this recipe from Rima's blog !

Condensed Milk Pound Cake

240g good quality butter (I used SCS salted)

90g sugar

1/2 tsp salt

304g condensed milk

3 tsp vanilla paste

240g cake flour (I used Hong Kong flour)

11/2 tsp baking powder (I used double acting)

4 large eggs

Preheat oven at 170 Celcius. Prepare your cake tin. I used a loaf tin. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add in condensed milk, and beat until well incorporated. Beat in eggs one at a time, until just combined. Add in vanilla paste or essence, wahtever....Fold in flour mixture...and bake at about 40 minutes....VOILA! To taste nicer enjoy with your best buddies:p

At the end of the day before I slumbered into snoozeland, all the cakes were gone, and that's the way it should be, kan!
