Women's Aid Organization

I totally forgot these... The cupcakes I made for WAO. My sister and I decided to put these emoticons on them. And my sister decorated them all for the first time. Phew...!

Cupcakes for Trial

I made these for trial, for one of Malaysia's notorious designer.

Looking forward to more jobs in the future...!

Wedding in Malacca

Don't get me wrong. I don't do delivery outside Klang Valley. But this wedding cake was requested by someone who was leaving for Malacca to attend a wedding over the weekend. So yeah, as long as I don't have to do the logistics outside KL/Selangor, I'll be happy to bake away.

It's a gift for the bride and the groom. Orange cake covered and layered with orange flavoured buttercream. I've always love orange cake. I hope the couple and their families like it as much as I like it too.

Pocoyo and Friends

I was nervous when decorating these cupcakes. I was worried if the kid I was making these for won't recognize that I was trying to portray Pocoyo and his friends.

So I tested my end products by showing them to my 2 year old niece who is also a fan of Pocoyo. My sister (Qaseh's mom) told her daughter, "Qaseh, I have something to show you.."

I found it sad and hilarious at the same time when she responded to her mom, "Oh, something for me...?", where her mom them cruelly answered, "Something, but they are not for you." Mean. Poor Qaseh. Well she never did like cakes anyway. So, it is fine - Qaseh recognized all of them Pocoyo team members.

Beef and Herbs Medley Stew

This dish is notoriously known as ghormeh sabzi and originates from Iran. It has an acquired taste and some may not find it suitable for their tastebuds. Nevertheless, do give it a shot if you are in the mood to be adventurous.

This recipe was adapted from http://www.iranmania.com/.

Ghormeh Sabzi

750 grams boneless stewing lamb or beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup of cooking oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1.5 cups water
1/2 cup dried limes (or fresh lime juice)
3/4 cup kidney beans (I used canned kidney beans because I was too lazy to pre-cook the dried beans)
Salt
Black pepper
1 cup spring onions, finely chopped
1.5 cups spinach, finely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup coriander, finely chopped
1/4 cup garlic chives, finely chopped
1/4 cup fenugreek, finely chopped (optional)

1. Trim meat and cut into 2 cm (3/4 inch) cubes.

2. Fry onion over medium heat in half of the oil until golden. Add turmeric and fry for 2 more minutes.

3. Increase heat, add meat cubes and stir over high heat until meat changes color and begins to turn brown. Reduce heat.

4. Add water, black-eye or kidney beans, salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer gently for 1-1.5 hours hours until meat is tender.

5. Add prepared vegetables, then add dried limes (or lime juice), cover and simmer for further 10-15 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve with white rice.

This dish serves 6.
