Concoction In Progress

Hiya foodies! It's been a while since I update this blog. Just to let you know that I'm taking the month of April to experiment new concoctions.

It's quite a tough process as me & my admin go through the list, decide & then the fun begins in the kitchen : )

There will be a couple of new goodies in the "Juz Desserts" category, plus two new categories in the coming months. (Taking things a little at a time here...)

I hope you'll bear with me while I whip the concoctions in my humble kitchen.

Updates coming up...!

Turkey Bacon Quiche

I recently felt inspired to try my hands on pastries again. I could remember the last time I tried to make pastry, it didn't turn out well at all.

However, I really want to get my Quiche going so I have to do it. This time it was definitely better as I've tweaked the recipe just a little bit but build on my confidence to make it work. And it turned out just fine : ))

No doubt there is still room for improvement and then comes the variation.

(Last batch of) Cuppies for Iffah

These were the last request I had for Chocolate Cupcakes. They were for dearest Iffah who's celebrating her 5th birthday.

Will I miss baking cupcakes? I don't think so cos I'll definitely be baking them again, just not commercially. My kids are cuppies' fans so cuppies are not over yet. 

In fact I'm excited that now I'd be able to try new goodies instead of focusing too much on cuppies. It wasn't the plan in the first place. Well I gave it a shot & now I'll have to be back on track again. Phew!

1st April '10

So the date has been set... That all sistabrownie's Chocolate & Red Velvet cuppies shall rest with effect from 1st April '10. (Not an April Fool's joke by the way....) 

Afterwhich I hope I'll be able to accomplish my resolution for 2010.

For my foodies, who have tried & requested for the cuppies before, thank you for choosing sistabrownie.

Especially to Nur, who have always 'challenged' my ability & capabilities in decorating the cuppies for her different theme requests, I thank you too. I wouldn't have known how far I can stretch my ideas for deco by using different techniques, if not for you.

It's time for me to focus on what I'm supposed to do - "Homemade Goodies & Yummy Bakes!"

Coloured Candy Brownie for Lina

I spent last Saturday baking a brownie for Lina, with coloured candies as topper. The request was confirmed just days before. I initially had no idea who Lina is, until she refreshed my memory bit by bit by SMS, from the time she turned up at my house until she was on her way back home. I didn't recognize her email address nor her number so I thought she's a friend's friend.

Turned out that I've actually met her before, at her house when she requested for my Cheese Cups. Then, she didn't even like cheese until she had a taste of those Cookies & Cream Cheese (cups). She had also requested for Brownie before and now, she's back to make a request again.

Just before I finished up with the Brownie, I managed to squeeze in a Lemon Meringue Tart request for someone very close to me. He had requested time and again for a Lemon Meringue Pie, but I guess he has to make do with tarts for the time being.
