Dear lovely readers,
I'll be having a first come first serve open-to-all order for this month's teacher's day celebration. As i'd be making cuppies for my boys' teachers, i thought why not make more? :)
The 'gift' will look something like this :-
However, do ignore the cuppies inside! The decoration on the cake will be more cheery and pretty. The above (green tea cuppies) was merely for our own consumption ;)
If you are interested, read on..
The cuppies giftpack.
No of cuppies : 2
Flavour : chocolate
Frosting : buttercream
Ingredients : as usual only President's butter will be used for frosting and as for the coco, i am using Val Rhona coco powder. So, does that make my cuppies trans fat free? :P
Min order : 1 box
No of boxes available for sale : 25 boxes only
Price : $4.50
Payment : $2.50 down payment through IB transfer to confirm your place. The remaining balance will be collected when we meet
Collection : 30th August, Thursday, my place at Choa Chu Kang (anytime) and CCK mrt / Lot 1 : from 4pm - 5.30pm or Yew Tee mrt : 6.30pm - 6.45pm
The gift pack will come with a similar looking ribbon above and a small card that writes "Happy Teacher's Day!"
Of course, if you just want the cuppies minus the ribbon and the little card, it is also possible. For this, it'll just cost you $3.90 and not $4.50 =)
So, if you are interested or have any other enquiries , do email me n.o.w as i'm advertising this elsewhere too.
Hb is pregnant!
Requested for chocolate cake from me for at least 3 times! If that's not pregnant, i dunno what that is. Heh.
Been wanting to try this particular recipe for the longest time. So, no more procrastination and here it is...
For myself and hb, but mostly myself :PppPP
Yep.. it was mostly for myself even though it was hb who requested it because i. i wanted to try the recipe ii. i wanted to try out newly received Hello Kitty stencil iii. i also wanted to eat chocolate cake. There, mostly for myself right? :D
I made an 8" cake for this actually. Due to my own carelessness, i didn't manage to get my big stencil print on the cake and that wasn't all. I messed it up too! However, i was pretty determined to get the cake posted on my blog, hence out born these little cakes, cut using my medium size cookie cutter, mainly to make use of my small stencils on the clean cake part which i can blog about. Ha!
So how did the cake taste?
Fudgy enough to satisfy all of our chocolate cake cravings!
It was really good.. except for the organic wholemeal flour i used. Didn't like the smell. Luckily, the smell was barely there the next day. Next time round, i'll make sure i use the normal wholemeal flour definitely!
And also, you know what?
It's rather unbelievable actually but this cake is oil/butter free!
Amazing yeah?
So it's fatless and uses wholemeal flour instead of plain flour. Those who are on diet would love this! Even those who aren't, they will also love it actually. It's really that good.
And seriously, no need for chocolate glaze / ganache on top. It's chocolate-ed enough!
Wanna buy?
Email me!
Selling at $18 - only no frills version available. Self collection.
p.s: using Val Rhona 55% cacao
The gf has only 4 friends for the gathering.
Initially, she wanted to bring my cupcakes but i told her the minimum number she needs to get is 23 cuppies and she agreed.
Then i thought hard about it. Not so nice isn't it? Afterall, she's my friend but what am i gonna do with the rest of the cuppies if i do sell her say, 10 only?
So i thought of this.
Tiramisu in the cups!
I have an order for this in another 2 weeks time and i haven't even gotten my cups yet. But i went ahead and suggested to my gf, why not take my tiramisu in cups instead?
The number of cups to get is definitely lesser than 23!
She said OK! Why not? :)
Made this yesterday and i had 2 full cups all by myself! *stare at tummy* Gosh, i look.. er..... pregnant! 4 months at least!
I so need to go for my aerobics tomorrow!
Note to self : more sponge fingers!

Interested?

I've done quite many oreo cheesecakes (be it baked or non baked) before but nothing like this one i've made recently.
It was a pretty interesting one as it requires white chocolate too!
It was my first try and i have no idea how it'd turn out and guess what i promise? As a birthday cake to my sil's bf!
Imagine if it came out looking horribly ugly or taste ultra yucky? I would be cursed! Heh. I did say i was a pretty daring person didn't i? :P
Anyway, here's the cake..
Cookies and cream cheesecake
So pretty yeah? :P [pardon the bad lighting!]
Because it was my first attempt, i have no idea how sweet this cake would be. Even though i did reduce my sugar, it was still pretty sweet for my liking. But that was it. Otherwise it was a puuurrrfect cookies and cream cheesecake :)
I'll be baking this cake again very soon, to get the perfect amount of sugar needed *wink*
Have you ever met a buyer who kept telling you this when you are selling something?
.Make sure you are earning some money from my purchase!
.Do remember to include your transportation fee yeah!
.Make sure you really are making some profit (again)!
Soooooooo sweet hor?
Of course i got touched!
Initially, i wanted to bake 3 packets of cookies for her when i do my delivery yesterday. Unfortunately, because i was experimenting with the new buttercream, i ran out of butter and time didn't permit to do anymore baking as well. Sigh.
Oh well, next time!, i vowed.
Celest's order :)
I'm so so happy to see their ecstatic faces when they opened the cake boxes when i delivered to Celest's office. I couldn't stop smiling.
Silly me! Heh..
ETA : Woweee.. my happy customer gave me $2 tips! HAhahahahahhaha :pppPPppP
Sometimes i really think i'm an extremely daring person.
I have only baked cupcakes twice in my entire life and yet, i actually dare to take up my gf's challenge to sell her my cuppies for her farewell giveaway on her last day of work yesterday! Can you just imagine if my cuppies turned out all wrong and inedible?
Or if the buttercream which i did last time couldn't be replicate?
I would be so dead!
Just one sentence from her and i said okay. She said, i trust you Sherie.. and i was sold! Hahaha..
Nonetheless, fyi, she has eaten my cuppies before from here :P
Thankfully all went well, except erm.. at the last minute, i couldn't find my piping nozzle which i intended to use for a specific design. Hence, out came the blue cuppie design, wave with little candies on top which was a tad time consuming and my gf finds the colour abit odd too! Lol.
However, the rest of us were quite taken by its colour though. Us = me, helper and the little boys lah.. Helper thinks of it as an ocean with little colourful boats on it. But then again, maybe that shouldn't count aye? Since boys simply lurvee blue.. :P
The huge cuppie was meant for my gf whom specifically requested for TONS of cream. Her instruction was a simple one..
"Sherie, if you have any leftover of your cream, just dump all in yeah?"
But of course, i didn't do that lah.. i piped hers last. So, all the extra pink buttercream went to her :)
And these special 6 were meant for a very very nice, kind, good, thoughtful girl, imp. Unfortunately, it was a last minute thingie so the cuppies didn't reach her due to some unforeseeable circumstances.
Such as the boys and my helper ate them in the morning before i woke up thinking that it was ok to do so since i brought them home again after wanting to deliver them the night before :P
2 big boxes for the gf and 1 small box for the good person - almost!
I really enjoy doing cuppies. Love doing designs and decorating. Love giving my brain a bit of exercise now and then! :P
cake sale! :)
And also my very first self earned $$$ after almost a decade...
It feels so darn good to earn my own $$ again.. Heh.
But of course, the money IS for me to keep albeit the cost and all are paid using *ahem* the husband's money. Hohohohohoho :P
So what did i sell?
Chocolate truffle cake of course.. to Miss Y :)
I pray and hope Miss Y and friends will love it as much as i do. Thank you Miss Y for your support *wink*
There's another cake to do tomorrow for my gfs. And 2 cupcakes order by end of this month. It is, indeed a good beginning for me :)
I like this pace. 1-3 orders per week. Excellent!
If the orders keep coming in that is.. Lol :P
Dear readers,
The husband suggested why don't i sell the chocolate truffle cake to those who are interested?
Not for gaining profit purpose, more like for letting you to try out the cake since i have nothing but praises for it :P
I gave it a thought about what hb'd said and i asked myself, why not? I'll just sell this cake for a limited time and that's it. Moreover, i know i don't have that many responsive readers, so i'm really fine with it. It'll be like baking for myself but with more effort made :P
But but.. sekali hor, no one orders then i really dunno how to hide my face man. Hahahaha... So, i wont be posting whether i have any orders or not. Lol.
Anyway, the cake will not be a decorative one. It will be exactly like what i've posted. Plain looking. To me, i think that is more than sufficient. Let the cake speaks for itself! As i've mentioned above, it's really for you to try it out only okay? :D
I'll be selling it at $39, an 8" cake using nothing else but only Valrhona dark chocolate and Lurpark or President's butter.
Interested?

Sherie
