Family time

Here they are with their Tok and Opah lastweek taking a dip in the swimming pool... Nazriel especially enjoyed the pool. He's the one with the funny looking smile next to Tok. Unfortunately his twin brother doesn't seem to like water that much and would prefer to sit ... just dipping his leg in the water and splashing water to everyone around him.

Just another chocolate cake

I made another attempt to bake chocolate cake on Friday while the boys were at school.When they're at school its much easier to do baking stuff... i can focus better and think clearly. This time the cake rose up beautifully. It was moist, tender and had little crumbs which i like in a cake. I paired the cake with bittersweet chocolate coffee ganache b'coz i like that bitter taste in a chocolate and it tasted good. This time my hubby enjoyed the cake he said " now this a chocolate cake last week's cake was like having rubber" ha...ha..ha...

Anywayz this is the recipe for the bittersweet chocolate coffee ganache

1 cup thickened cream

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

3 Tbsp granulated sugar

8oz bittersweet chocolate chopped

1 Tbsp Nescafe

Icing sugar (optional if you want it runny don't add icing if you want it thick then add icing as much as you want depending on what consistency you want the ganache to be)

Method:

1. Heat cream, butter and sugar over medium high. Stirring to dissolve sugar.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Place chocolate and coffee in a bowl .
4. Pour boiling cream over chocolate. Let sit 10 minutes and stir until smooth.
5. Keep at room temperature if you want it runny.
6. Add icing ( if you want a thick consistency before you iced the cake then put the ganache in the fridge for 3 min.)

blaja-blaja buat cake

Made this chocolate cake last week but it didn't turn out quite well. The cake was hard and tough. Well that's okay at least the chocolate frosting and buttercream tasted great. Uhmmm the twins decided to have another birthday celebration coz they love blowing out the candle so much. So each of them blew out the candle 3 times since they could only do it once on their birthday at school last week. As you can see the top of the cake is rough and bumpy. It just would not smooth out nicely. So i made the bulleye piping decoration to cover the ugly looking top.

20th March 2009

This is my other son ....my baby boy arshad syabill. And today well not exactly it was last friday.... was his first time on a walker and he's just 7 months old. It really feels that it was just a few months ago he was in my belly and now he's on a walker.

Toys and playing nice

That turtle toy was their very first toy that we

bought for the boys when they were 10 months old.

Today the boys were not fighting that much. As you can see they're playing peacefully together. On normal days they would scratch each others face out

Happy 3rd birthday
