heheheh….i have received a lot of comment regarding this picture…some of them feel funny…some confused…hehehe…
Asian Mona...lijah? hehehe
We (me, zul n my sister) went for Da Vinci exhibition held at Pusat Sains, Bukit Kiara last sunday. It was last day then…(malaysian…so typical…last minute only want to go)…
The exhibition was ok…I’m expecting more on the architectural but to my disappointment there was more on his engineering invention….but at least I get to know Monalisa better…in me…! hehehe

As I had couples of week to indulge on myself at home (mom’s home to be exact), and (oops..! not quite true… the truth was… i was in confinement period and i got mc for two weeks…and.. another week after that…) i began to seriously thinking about being a cook full time…
Well..apart from everyday pasta or rice dishes, i suddenly became so interested in baking…
Thanks to AFC channel (Laura Calder & Nigella especially) for inspired me to started baking…well, maybe they make it look so easy n yummy! (what else you expect to do in confinement? Besides watching tv, reading, eating? hehehe)
Actually both me n my mom were not prepared for this, only the cake itself is quite simple. We choose our favourite midnite chocolate cake because we thought at least the cake is edible even if the decoration is not….hahahaha…
My mom started to beat the sugar to create the royal icing (i guess) while I melted both dark & white chocolate using bain marie technique.
And then, it alll began.
First, i spread a few of the cupcake with melted choc and some with the icing cream. We didn’t have any specific pattern in mind, and we decided just playing around with whatever we have at home, M&M, Oreo cookies, apart from the melted chocolate. I even spread one of them with Nutella and top it with Oreo cookies ….and oh! That combination together with the choc. cake just incredibly delicious!
oh they just make me mouth-watering!
Just scroll down for it
- cute cupcake..but look at the icing..they meltdown as soon as i pressed them on the cake…thats ok..there’s always next time…any tip anyone?
- as you can see, the cakes covered with dark or white choc, while white color was covered by icing cream.
Suprisingly, i felt so calm and relax doing this decorating thing, it almost felt like my kindergarden years where I can draw anything without being worried of how good or bad it’s gonna look like. For a while, I can ease my mind from the cloudy feeling….
Well, honestly they are not perfect…but i enjoyed doing it so much, therefore, i hope even this is the first time, lets hope its not the last…
Hint: I’m going to my mum’s this weekend!
