Happy Birthday Amal Hazirah

I wish I had arranged the cupcakes properly to show the message but I thought I didn't have time for that as it was almost collection time when I took this photo. Nevertheless, I hope Amal Hazirah enjoyed the cupcakes and had a wonderful wonderful birthday. :D

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha :D

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha everyone! :D Long weekend again for a lot of you :D As for me, my feet are in a lot of pain from standing the whole day. That's the occupational hazard of baking. Unless you're a tall, tall, amazonian, you pretty much can't sit down when you're working in the kitchen. No, not even when decorating. :S I really need an aerial view of everything! I've been on my feet for ten hours and I'm dying to get those special doctor shoes! Hehehe! Well, just a fluffy pair of slippers would do. :D

Anyway, I am taking a break from baking on Sunday as I am having my first sleep over since... er... I can't even remember! Hahaha! That's how long it's been. I thought I was too old for sleepovers. Well, maybe I am because I can't bear the thought of leaving the comfort of my bed!! Yes, the sleepover is at my house. Hahahaha! We're planning to watch a sad movie and a nice big pizza! Yum!!! I'm afraid that my sleepover will be boring. Hahaha!

Have a wonderful and joyous weekend. Let us all appreciate again the lesson behind the celebration of Aidil Adha and give to the needy.

Will be back Monday!!! :D

Petit Mont Blanc

Remember these babies???

Offee Banoffee Pie

Hey guys! :D

The smell of bananas drives me... well, bananas!! :D

Will be uploading a less messy (and yucky! teeheehee!) picture of the Banoffee Pie soon! :D

Offee Banoffee Pie

There's been a request for Banoffee Pie for quite some time now (thanks for the request!! And I'm so sorry for the delay! Hehehe) and I only managed to whip up some last Thursday. :D It was also the perfect opportunity because we had a family get together... children would be around (my number one fans! XD ) and there would actually be people (apart from myself and my parents) to eat a giant piece of Banoffee Pie. So yayyyy!!

A Banoffee Pie is essentially made up of a biscuit crust, a layer of bananas, a layer of dulce de leche (toffee or caramel are the less snooty names hehehe) and topped with freshly whipped cream, garnished with dark chocolate. YUM!!!!!!

My Banoffee Pie was a smashing success (yayyyy!!!!). Though, I was so amused when the kids requested that I NOT put bananas in. I said that it wouldn't be BANoffee Pie then since there's no banana. The response: It's alright. They are happy with just OFFEE Pie. XD Hehehe! All in all, the bananas weren't such a problem because they enjoyed the pie nevertheless. :D I was so pleased when a cousin insist she smuggle the last quarter home! LOL!! I hope you guys will enjoy my Banoffee Pie too! :D Yes, with bananas! :D

PS: I only had less than a couple of hours to prepare this pie, so please excuse the awful pictures and presentation! IT WAS A MESS! I didn't have the opportunity to take a decent picture of a slice of the pie, so you'll just be viewing messy plates!!

Eeee awful!! I was extremely in a rush I just basically poured dark chocolate all over the pie!! Hehe! Whoops! I'll make sure yous will be pretty! :D


A jumbled up mess!! But everyone loved it! :D

Hostess With The Mostess

Have you ever seen those Hostess Cupcakes ads which are always at the back of Archie Comics? Unfortunately, we don't have them in Brunei but they sure look dee-lish!!!

But then again.... why don't I make something similar? :D

Introdooooocing!! Light Chocolate Cupcakes with creme filling and chocolate ganache! :D They may not be the original Hostess, but till we can get our hands on the real McCoy, hopefully these will stop you from chewing Archie Comics. Hehehehe!

Oreo Truffles

Don't eat cupcakes and drive

This is by far the funniest review I've ever gotten!

"Nyaman banar. I ALMOST HIT A CAR... andddd the topping was all over 1.my face, 2. steering... ur cupcakes are dangerous" - Jirin, on eating Pip Pops cupcakes and driving.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to text me your comments on your purchased cupcakes. They make baking so worthwhile! :D And they make me very, very happy (AND RELIEVED!). I am ALWAYS nervous after every sale. :S Hehehe...

Happy Birhday War

Oreo Frosting

Ok. This is officially my favorite frosting EVER. :D Who doesn't love Oreo anyway? :D

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Oreo Frosting $22 for 12 pieces

And the rest is history...

Hellewwww children! :D

I can't believe it's already November!!!! Time really jets by this year for me. And Pip Pops is almost 8 months old! Woohoo! Who would've thought I'd get this far. :D Alhamdulillah... Thank you everyone for your support!

I would like to share with you a little story of how Pip Pops came to be. Truthfully, this cupcakery was never, EVER planned! It really was quite an impulsive decision, like most of the good things that have happened in my life.

About eight months ago, I was baking cupcakes for one of my best friends' birthday Ratna. You would think I made the cutest, most ambrosial cupcakes that day since it was the moment Pip Pops came to be. Unfortunately, it took me FOUR hours to finish a dozen cupcakes. I was in tears!!! The chocolate wouldn't melt properly and it kept on curdling. I had to go out and buy more and they still curdled and burnt. I was LATE for the birthday. And I was going through expensive chocolate like a chain smoker.

After four hours battling in the kitchen, yanking my hair out, almost breaking down in tears... my friend Lyds who was there to help marched me straight into the shower (to freshen up and cool down... or maybe let me cry in private! LOL!) and let her handle the situation. She managed to salvage the curdling chocolate with a little butter. Though, I was such a purist in the sense that I didn't agree with the taste.

Fortunately, the birthday girl saw past the weirdness of how the cupcakes looked. The cupcakes were, funnily enough, a success story ( maybe because of all that love incorporated into the cupcakes??) . In fact, her cousin took some home for her friends who asked whether I was selling the cupcakes!!! With a push and encouragement from my friend, I finally plucked up the courage and decided to sell cupcakes.

And the rest, they say, is history....

:D

I had (and still have) confidence issues (will people like my baking? will I overcome my shyness in meeting new people?). But with my friend's encouragement, it was the push I needed after wanting to sell cookies and cupcakes for the past eleven years. :D

Who would've thought I'd have met so many new and wonderful people and helped in some way with celebrating birthdays and graduation?

Thank you everyone!! :D
The cupcakes that started it all... As sad as these were, they were the only ones with a face!!! Can you see a face on the bottom left? Hehehe.. In case you're wondering, what those white balls unceremoniously strewn about among the cupcakes, those are not Kuih Mor. Those are chocolate balls. We had a lot, and I mean a LOT of salvaged chocolate. LOL!!!
