the story of my not so red velvet cake

 

orang kata each and every cake has its own story kan! haaaa this one is the very sengal one…

me lah yang sengal tuh…heheh takkan cake tu yang sengal kan :=))

 

 

apa apa pun kita tengok the end product dulu ye ;-)

lain yang di hajat, tapi lain yang dapat…

asalnya i nak buatkan kepala minnie mouse and put a big bow on it tapikan u know lah bila bermain main dengan warna hitam ni i tak suka guna kaler hitam sebab selalu kek i rosak dek warna hitam, banyak yang tak menjadi lah dari yang menjadi bagi i lah ye!

dah lah masa memula baked this cake pun i forgot to baked it in my salad bowl sebab takde bowl melengkung macam topi tu and dah lah pi taruk dalam pan pastu i tertaruk sikit sangat red color sampai my red velvet became choc velvet ye! then, malas nak bake another cake untuk kepala tu, i main pandai sesuka hati potong potong kek yang tak merah tu buat bentuk macam topi. hmmm masa coating dengan cream cheese tu cake tu cantik je rupanya tapi i tell you memang banyaklah crumbs yang jatuh sebab u know lah kan i dah potong potong and stack stack kek yang leper tu jadi melenkung separuh bulat tuh :-)

pandai sangat, sudahnya bila taruk fondant hitam untuk kepala tu, kek ni macam tak cantik and elok je duduknya..haiii macam nak terjatuh ler pulak…dahlah macam nak terjatuh, then fondant hitam tu pulak lambat bebenor nak kering airnya, i think part ni memang salah i sebab tertaruk byk air. hmmmm sudahnya sebab i menyampah tengok kek yang tak berseri tu akhirnya i bagi je lah kat mr T.

long story short , i baked another cake, and this time it turned out red color and then i just sandwiched the cakes with cream cheese and coatkan with cream cheese jugak  and then i balut je cake tu dengan pink fondant. taruk sikit polka dots and make a big bow and put it on top of the cake… siap ;-)

nasib baik empunya badan suuuuka sangat dengan cake ni…legaaaa hati i ;-)
