Failure doggie cookies

Had been seeing a lot of bloggers making this cute horlick doggies so decide to try since it's very cute. So after the boys had gone to sleep yesterday, decided to try it out. The mixing of the ingredients part was very straight forwards and I guess the hard part of it all was making the decoration especially as we are using the chocolate as the eye decoration.

Coz it so very small and break easily.. The designing of the doggies was so fun but took a bit of time. Here are some of my design.. just simple cute doggies.The first failure was that I was too concentrated in designing the cookies that I overbaked the first batch and it was burn on the bottom. Thought it shouldn't have created a lot of problem but when I went n try out the first bit of the cookie... yuak.. it's bitter and there was no taste of the horlick.

I was so disappointed.. WHAT HAD WENT WRONG... Coming to think about it I think it's becoz of the milk powder I had added it.. Coz i only used my son's milk powder coz to buy a pack here I'll have to buy a whole 1 kg which I only need 40g so had not spend money to buy it. And I forgot that my son's milk powder is the bitter type .. nan ha.. so i guess it could be becoz of this that's why the cookie is not tasting as nice as expected. What a disappointment

Hazelnut Coffee Cake for Brother in Law's Birthday

Yes this was the actual cake which I intended to made and beside making this cake I also made another cake for My son and also a cupcake. This cake was made for my brother in law who is celebrating his birthday today.

The cake is a hazelnut cake and for the cream - it's coffee cream with kahlua added in. Haven't had a taste of the cake... hope it's not too sweet..

Hazelnut Cream Cake For Jay Wee

This is just a cake that I had whipped up together with the cake for my brother in law but this was made specially for my elder son. Coz the cake for my brother in law is covered with coffee cream and kahlua is added so I purposely made another one for him so that he also can eat a slice of the cake.

So this is a Hazelnut Cake covered with hazelnut cream with a simple design. I think the texture of the cake is a bit rough due to the grounded hazelnut added. And yes the hazelnut cream is also a bit too sweet for my taste. My son dun like sweet things as well as he only ate half the slice of cake which I had given him. So next time I won't use so much of the hazelnut in the cream.

Chocolate chip Hazelnut cupcake

As tomorrow is my brother in law's birthday, so hubby asked me to bake a cake for him. And he asked me to bake something that's different for a change and not so sweet. So saw this recipe from Kevin Chai's book - Hazelnut coffee cake (which I'll post tomorrow after the decoration).

So as normal will bake the cake first and do the decoration tomorrow. But while I was mixing the batter an idea pop into my mind.. It's Cupcake.. ha ha.. so I took some of the batter of the cake and mix some chocolate chips and wa la... there is a new cupcake invented ha ha..

It's quite nice but maybe coz I only added ground hazelnut the smell of hazelnut is not strong. Will try putting in hazelnut essence next time. But the cupcake sure taste nice ha ha.. This goes to show that there is creativity in everyone so when u have the idea do take the action and act on it.. ha ha..

1st gathering of 2010 & Happy New Year!!

Wow time had really passed so fast and now we are in the year of 2010.. A new year.. a new beginning.. ha ha.. Last month was really a very tiring month and really stay home time for me as my maid was on a one month holiday. So there wasn't much time to bake or even shop coz I had to take care of the two boys.

Hubby had decided to have a small gathering @ home to welcome 2010 and to had a few cool drink and since it was a saturday what better to do then have friends to spend some times together. So i had just made prata sausage for the gathering as it's the fastest. And yes this was a finger food gathering meaning that we are serving only finger food and drinks.. ha ha.. It was good that our friends brought some food over to share as well so decide to share with you all what we had..

And Would like wish all the beloved bloggers a happy 2010!!
