Update

ok, Chinese New Year is over but how come my blog is
collecting dust?

Actually I hv been baking, but its just egg tarts and marble
cakes for the kids to eat. I also made a necklace and a braclet
but have not taken any fotos to make any post.

年过了, 但我的部落格还是静静的. 前阵子过年糕点还蛮多所以
没烘焙, 不过也做了两次蛋塔给孩子们但他们还要呢.

我也做了一条项链和手链, 待拍了照片就放它们上来让你们
批评.

Meme 2

Small small baker tagged me. Thanks, small small baker.

Its my first time being tagged and am suppose to share five
facts about myself. I guess its good opportunity to let my new
baking friends know more abt me thou nothing interesting.

First, the Meme rules :

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

ok, 5 facts abt me.

1) I have many hobbies, probably because I have no chance 
of trying them (grass on the other side is always greener). 
Baking, making jewelries and phoography are just 3 of them.

2) Started baking only last year cos kids are more
manageable and mother starts the ball rolling first cos she
goes to Phoon Huat demo classes then itch to bake.

3) A noturnal animal. I stay up till very late like 2am or later
 usually. What to do? Read blogs (oh i love this, consider 
hobby?) , watch HK drama etc. Then I drinks loads of coffee
to keep me up in the day.

4) Quite plump, esp after starting to bake. Wanted very much
to slim down, but then can't help snacking late into the nights
(since i stay up late). Really want to slim down leh.

5) Quite long winded (can see from this blog now right?). Not 
that I wanted to, but then I just need to take that amount of
words to express what I want. So, the above looks like more
then 5 facts.


Now ... I am suppose to tag another 5 .. here goes....

1) JY 

2) Esther 

3) Let's get Wokking

Simple Crystal Necklace

I found this quite sweet looking from the book, so I duplicate it,
however with different kind of beads and different colour.

It doesn't look so nice after I completed it. I think I still like
the original colour of blue and grey better.

By the way, anyone has any idea how much will such a necklace
be sold outside?

Mickey Cookies

My cousin bought these cutters for me in Japan. Then I use
them on a recipe that makes biscotti.

 

I think its a failure, cos the raw sugar that I used did not melt.
I can still see them (sank at the bottom of the biscuit). Suppose
to use brown sugar, but did not say caster or not, then I don't
have.

The biscuits are very crumbly, which likely is the cause of the
corn flour.

So, now i shd get another cookie cutter recipe, or try again
with caster sugar to see if sugar melts. Will post recipe when i
succeed.

hmm, maybe must buy icing pen to draw the details of the
hands and face feature .. else also don't know these belongs
to mickey.

表妹从日本帮我买了以上的模型。我用它们做了饼。这种饼
不是硬的那种，象牛油饼多些，易碎，不过我喜欢。 可惜， 不是
很成功因为糖没完全溶解， 都沉在饼的底部。没法啦，下次
再尝试做好它吧。
