Princess Sofia party

My little gal celebrates her sweet five years old.. I always wanted to bake my kids a birthday cake but just lack of courage. As if I happen to fail, I might not be able to find them a replacement cartoon cake that they requested. But after encouragement from my baking friend, I decided to bake my gal one!! And I'm very happy with my first birthday cake for her.

Recipe source:  I use the buttercake & buttercream recipe from my friend

 

Buttercake Recipe:

250g Salted Butter

250g Castor Sugar

4 Eggs

350g Plain Flour

2 Tsp Double Action Baking Powder

150ml Cold Milk

Method:

Sift plain flour and baking flour together and set aside

Cream butter and sugar till light & fluffy

Mix in beaten eggs gradually

Fold in dry ingredients

Fold in milk

I divided it into 4 layers (270g each), one without adding any color to it and the rest of the three add purple color to it, add slightly more for each batter so that you can have a even lighter to darker purple. Gently fold in the color.

Bake each layer in 6inch pan in preheated over at 160C for around 20mins and until a skewer comes out clean.

Buttercream Recipe:

250g Butter

125g Shifted Icing Sugar

1Tsp Vanilla Essence

 

Method:

Cream till light & fluffy and it is ready to use. I multiply the recipe by two times so that I got enough cream to apply and pipe the whole cake. I layer each cake with buttercream without coloring and divided the rest into three and added purple colors. I covered the cake with the lightest purple color. I am using Wilton 1M for the piping

I have been planning this birthday one month in advanced, as I always tend to forget things easily and often need to make 2-3trips while preparing and cooking. This round I make a record of myself staying in the kitchen throughout the process. Haha..

The Dry Version of Laska

Recipe source: Bakericious

I always hope to try new dishes in my party. So I have searching for this dry version of laksa and come across Bakericious version. The laksa she presented look so yummy and I know I have to try it! I triple up her recipe, only to find out it is going to be a lot. So I use about 2.5Kg of thick bee hoon. I have difficulties frying this laska because it is really too much. But luckily the taste still acceptable..

My boy turns 7

Nasi Lemak mini buffet


 

Ever since my boy goes to primary one, my life went to another stage.. homework, spelling, tests, a lot of stress & tiredness is all I left with.. and so for the whole year I  become less frequent in cooking and baking. But I still look forward to cook for their birthday party. I'm those anxiety type, so I started to stress about not finishing cooking before the guest come, as I foresee my oily kitchen. and this time I'm doing a birthday lunch..


Luncheon meat, long bean, ikan bilis, red eggs, omelette, nuggets, sotong ball, fish fillet and hotdogs.

 

 The leading star of the day.. Nasi Lemak

 Recipe source from FB group:

*6 cups rice
*500ml coconut milk
*1 tsp salt (To enhance the taste of the coconut milk)
*Pandan juice ( I just blend one bunch of Pandan leaves with some water and squeeze the juice out)
*1 knob of Pandan leaves
*Then fill up water to water level for 6cups of rice and cook
*Stir once while cooking in rice cooker

Golden Chicken Wing

 This chicken wings I marinate based on estimation and.. the taste is nice but is not crispy enough (will definitely try again). The ingredients I use are:
* Salt
* Lea & Perrins
* Chicken powder
* Sesame oil
* Turmeric powder

I marinate the chicken wings overnight.

Lastly Coat with tapioca flour and deep fry till golden brown.
