Red Velvet Kek

As salam. Lama sungguh tidak blogging. Masa untuk blogging mengurang. Mood untuk blogging pun beh kurang begitu. Mungkin buka sekolah ni, kerja banyak sikit. Fikiran tak boleh fokus pada blogging lagi.Tapi hati ni asyik teringat pada seorang kawan FB yang minta saya sharekan resipi Red Velvet Cake.

Cerita bab share ni...lain orang lain pendiriannya. Apapun pendirian mereka, mereka ada sebab yang tersendiri. Justru itu kita harus hormati dan terima sebab musabab mereka yang tak mau kongsi. Adapun yang mau berkongsi, bukan semua resipi yang diberi itu boleh digunapakai. Sudah macam-macam resipi yang dicuba melalui blog ataupun terus daripada orangnya. Tapi tak menjadi. Bahan yang dimasukkanpun macam-macam. Cara buatpun macam-macam. Iyalah ...ada orang tenguk kat majalah atau blog, terus jadi. Sentuhan tangan memasing.

Anak-anakpun kata...jika dah ramai customers order Red Velvet Cake ibu, lebih baiklah ibu pergi kelas untuk dapatkan resipi sebenar. Walaupun satu resipi tu beratus tetapi berbaloi. Mendengar nasihat mereka ini, sayapun attendlah kelasnya. Berpandukan pelan, saya drive all the way ke kelas tu sendirian. Apa nak takut...omputih sendirian kat tempat kita ni, orait je. Yang penting...apabila nak melangkah keluar, berdoa dan bertawakkallah. Inshaallah...perlindungan itu akan datang.

So inilah dia..wahai sahabat FBianku

An Ice-Cream Chocolate Cake On A Hot Afternoon.

As salam and hello everyone. 

While waiting for my fresh cream to soften, I took the chance to post something on my blog. 

Isn't it a hot day, pips?  Well...everyone is suffering from the heat. Most afternoon is hot and humid. Everyone is seeking shelter. I'm sure you guys, escaped the heat with a tall glass of cold drinks in your hand. A gulp of it makes you feel as if you are at the oasis in the desert.

Baskin Robbin's Ice cream cake

On a hot day like this, it would be very refreshing to treat ourselves with a piece of delicious ice-cream chocolate cake. And it would be full-filling if you could make it on your own.

The above picture was my second try. My first was dumped into the dustbin. Hahahahaaa....but I never easily give up. A friend of mine taught me his hubby's homemade ice-cream cake.  No doubts...it didn't look as good as Baskin Robbin's ice-cream cake but it still made me on top of the world.

And this one was ordered by a regular customer of mine. Practice makes perfect as the saying goes. Usually I asked their opinion on my cakes as their critics would made my cakes better than before.

So if any of you who feel like giving it a try, well why not? Ask for ice-cream cake and you can do it as easy as ABC. I'll share this video on making ice-cream cake to give you a better idea.

So why wait?  The best remedy for scorching hot weather is a tall glass of something ice cold and a dessert of ice-cream cake.
