Ollaaaaaaa ..... I'm a contractor

Hello there ...

Just got chance to type in my blog... since my last update in Rompin. It's been a great day today.
Managed to get my 3D cake done ! ..

The request was from my sister's friend Hanim. She texted me the other day asking whether i do any .. 3D birthday cake or not. Well okay..something new that i can play with perhaps. She's looking for a number 3 cake as her son will be 3 this month. So, went to a few shops in Kuantan to find no 3 mold tin. And can't find any...they don't have it. Ok then so have to carve the cake ! ..

Kind of worry initially... freak out if the cake didn't turn out to be a perfect number 3 ...then i need to have a back up plan... Plus Hanim just leave everything to me to get the cake done.  So, I asked her what is Adam's favorite ?..

I was told that Adam loves truck, lorry, car ... anything to do with engine! .. Ahaa.... that is good enough. Since there's no number 3 mold around and the chances to get perfect number 3 is pretty slim so i've been thinking why don't i do a situation where a 3D number 3 being constructed.. an island !

Playing around with my little helpers!

Adam loves chocolate cake thus i baked him 2 recipes of my all time favourite chocolate cake.. just nice for a number 3.  Also bought some wafers, M&M chocolates and Oreos as additional deco for the cake..

Construction has just begin...

I used chocolate ganache to cover the whole cake .. Playing around with chocolates and wafers and used thread to hold and hang the wafers. 

I must say i pretty much happy to see the outcome. 

And Tadaaaaa ... here's the work in progress island ! 

Right thats about it ...

Hope it's something worth sharing ..
Okay I got to go .. another baking project to be done...cookies! ..

something that i'm really looking forward to ..

Do It Yourself Demo .. extra deco for a wedding

Throwback ...

21 September 2014. Accepted an invitation to do a wedding extra deco by a local wedding magazine Inspirasi Perkahwinan at Shah Alam Convention Center, Shah Alam. In conjunction of a Wedding Expo.

I chose to show deco props from recycled water bottles, news paper, broken cups, egg carton, fabric remnants. And displayed them as a deco for a guest book table.  Did some preparation a couple of days ahead. I was kind a nervous actually as it's been years since my last class.

Happy to go with my tool box which was a gift from Jua,  my best friend and my sewn apron.

The demo was supposed to be conducted at 2pm but since session before me took more time so my slot has been brought forward to 3pm. 

Can you see my butterflies in my stomach ??? hahah ..

Up on stage .. i think it was like a bullet train hahaha... just to keep me calm i invited the audience to join me. At least I was not talking alone. And it's more interesting to have it hands on.

Here are the deco props that i shared with the audience... Maybe i can do tutorial here in the blog too.

Newspaper balls glued on broken cup. Elegant and classic look right!

should you have remnants..dont just throw it away but clip it as a ribbon.

and i have that egg carton as the tray...

• flower from recycled water bottles
• flower balls from old news paper and book
• flower balls stand from broken cups and bottle
• frame from a jam bottle
• fabric ribbon from remnants and wooden clips
• extra deco from tree root and pearls

Alhamdulillah the demo went well and the lucky audience got the favors from me.

Okay It's 32 degree celsius .. need fresh and cooler air. Hmm but let just quickly update this blog and head up for evening run shortly.

I'm looking forward for some good feedback pertaining my DIY recycled project with the local #wedding magazine. Hopefully it turns out OKAY.. 

The photoshoot took place last week at their studio..yeah it was my first time heading there..( they usually come and see me..so this time around why not doing it at their place..quite pleasant getaway actually eventho pretty far hahahha ).

I was asked to provide some recycled materials / ideas that can be used for the future brides and grooms  on their wedding. And coincidently i was actually in my DIY mode.. kutip apa yang jumpa at home..plus since I'm into baking also so i collected egg cartons, tins, bottles..so just use them !. Eh,  They just read my mind is it ??? 

So, i agreed to be featured in their next issue ..

Such a good feeling when you're able to work with a good team. Easy to work with.. Please don't get bored with me ! .. 

I've prepared some easy steps for all the viewers to follow InsyaAllah.. 

Should the viewers need hands on coach...hmm lets have WORKSHOP ! .. why not ya ... I'm happy to teach.

Okay... need to catch Asar...and head to the beach to run ... See ya when i see ya !!!

Some Centerpiece ideas in Inspirasi Perkahwinan June 2014

Alhamdulillah, my work has been published in Inspirasi Perkahwinan magazine for June 2014 issue.
The photoshoot was done somewhere last month. With all the hick ups the photoshoot was smoothly conducted.  Kinda routine to have last minute request for a photoshoot from them but I'm always open to provide materials for their magazine. More than happy to be part in contributing ideas to all readers out there.  Hope I'm able to reach their needs :) !..

for this issue I'm supposed to create a few centerpieces.  And i came out with a few deco centerpieces

and also take away centerpieces ( the guest can bring home the centerpiece ! - its easier for both the guest and the host ! - hassle free ) . I may suggest this concept for " Close " ceremony for close families and friends. .. if you have 1000 guests or more you might want to hire people to give the favors.

So help yourself to get the copy ... tq for IP team for always having me in their magazine.

Late Post - MPC in IP July 2013

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone ..

Hadoiyaiiiii ... my last update was in May 2013. Pretty much busy starting May onwards. Was away for a few weeks. And busy again after that. Alhamdulillah despite the tiredness and fatigue.
All of the sudden its already Ramadhan and again full time in the kitchen...continuing mum's legacy .. BISKUT RAYA.  I shall post a few pic of that in another post. Tonite it will be my late post of my work in Inspirasi Perkahwinan which has been published in July 2013 issue.

I have posted earlier in MPC's FB Fan Page .

And let me publish it over here :)

The pages was about centerpiece, hantaran and also hand bouquet. Oh ya... wedding favor !.
For centerpiece and hantaran we proposed beach as the theme. We used beach sand and also assortment of seashells as deco items. And the most outstanding shoot product was the seashells hand bouquet. To blend and potray the theme, we get coral color satin ribbon and paper strings to tie the bouquet and vase, candles for the centerpiece and tin for the favor.

For hantaran 

tq for viewing peeps !!! ...
