Ouch! how many days has it been?? too looongggg!! i know.. i know.. i can only wish.. time is definitely not on my side.. i am either at home baking away or i am out and abt looking for some stuff.. I hv been well.. a little tired but am good.. Lisa, our part time helper has been coming by once or twice a week to do general cleaning and helps take a load off my shoulders! so ok lets do the round up..
First of, i hv started baking for Eid.. this year i have to start early or i will never get things done on time... no no not bec i hv lots of cookie orders.. i hv opted not to take any cookie order this year and only wanna concentrate on cakes.. so far i hv baked three types of cookies for mom.. in between that i managed to also baked a couple of steamed fruit cake for a couple of orders.. not many to go.. err 4 more and i am done with that.. i dont even want to think how its gonna be like next week and the week after when i start baking for all my layer cake orders.. gulp! (Note: I am sorry guys but I am not taking anymore orders - also to those that have email sorry! Orders were filled up 2mths ago.. ty dearies)
On a happier note.. Hairi got accepted into the Engineering course that he wanted and will start schooling early next month.. all the best son! Remember what mama said.. money doesnt come easy so do study hard!
My dear hb was in Vietnam and no this year he didnt come home with a set of Ao dai for Sonia hehe
........ and little Sonia?? hehehe u wanna know whats her fav sentence for the past few days? "How cool is that mama" muahahha
Anyway these raspberry macs were our main course..ah I mean dessert today... i had bought two punnets of raspberry with different intentions.. had wanted to use it to bake berry tarts but unfortunately i didnt get to it so bef these beauties turn bad i thought why not use it in my macs... loved it!! the dark chocolate.. the raspberry in the middle.. one bite and u know u hit the jackpot!

Note: When serving.. unlike ganache-only recipe.. the fruit will "wet" the macaron quickly. So serve only shortly before consumption or else your macaron will become too soft.
Will try to update again tmrw to share another cookie recipe... ta ta!

Mika+Suzy
Kak Rima,
Nak tanya sikit, kalau saya guna hong kong flour untuk buat chiffon kek boleh tak? Ada byk lagi tepung tu tp saya x tau apa yg sesuai untuk kegunaannya.
Terima kasih,
Suzy
salam. Rima, nak tanya kat msia mana nak cari colour powder ya.Sorry sy duk kat sini pun x tau kat mana nak cari colour powder. Pernah cari dkt wilton tapi tak ada.
Babe
Thats the thing abt macs.. bila menjadi cantik i also like that.. terjenguk jenguk kat pintu oven.. once kaki dah keluar baru lah lega.. dah tu dok tengok pulak if ade yg crack.. haishh sampai sekarang pun macs ni buat i suspend haha
Congrats! harus practice ok to get perfect one n ty for ur email.. macam terharu gitu :op
Lovely colorful macs Rima. I love looking at your pretty macs. This time around no raspberry colored nail color for Sonia ? :) I will not attempt to make any macs. Because I don't like eating them. Have tried the macs from Icing Room, Delifrance and Canelle. They are too sweet for me and not my cup of tea. But I do love looking at them.
Congratulations to Hairi. All the best in his future endeavours. I am sure he will do well and make his mama proud :)
Hope you have a good weekend.
Regards,
Sally

Muahahha kad raya.. dah lama ku tak terima kad raya.. nowadays mana ade orang nak buat cam gitu.. dulu dulu when i was young ahemmm .... bila raya byk dapat kad raya.. dah tu interframe lagi kat living room hahaha.. those were the days.. windu weiii
Baju kurung dak sonia dah beli.. bought one ajer.. ingat nak cari lagi satu but see how lah.. she pakai pun hanya setahun sekali.. dah tu cannot carry forward cos she cepat tinggi!
Tutup kukusan tu harus wrap dgn kain or else air titik titik on the aluminium foil.. nanti flooding hehe
KCek
Siapa tak jatuh cinta tergolek golek dgn si kecil molek ni.. never gv up.. harus keep on baking ok :op
Mika+Suzy
Memang yg ade berry ni memang fav kita.. cuts down the sweetness up to the max.. shiok makan tak sedar diri hahaha.. Insyallah.. email me when and if i am in town i will bake it for u..
