Mini Teddy

Ha ha. Isn't a teddy a type of lingerie? Well, not this time. I had an order for a mixed bag of gingerbread. As I was given a budget to work within, I decided to stretch it and make lots of minis and mostly just outlined them- teddy bear, star, gingerbread boy, gingerbread girl, hearts, a few 7cm gingerbread boys, and flowers. The picture here show only the teddy bears as right after snapping that pict, my camera battery went flat. I couldn't wait for it to recharge as I had to deliver them pronto, so... That'll teach me to neglect my camera. Sigh...

More Aqiqah Cookies

Linda from Shah Alam ordered gingerbread prams for her son's aqiqah in early November. The theme was blue and yellow. I managed to meet the adorable little guy and his delightful older sister when I delivered the cookies. The cookies were to be placed in a lovely box together with a bar of chocolate, candy and such. Linda also had a beautiful wooden cradle from Cradle n All for the ceremony. Wish I had brought my camera along.

New Oven

Turning 37 recently, I received a wonderful birthday loan (to be paid back later, of course) from my lovely mother. A brand new oven! Gone are the days when I would receive a handmade dress, a strand of pearls or an embroidered picture from her (altho' diamonds are still welcomed *grin*).
It came just in time for an order for gingerbread prams. The oven is fan-assisted hence shortens the baking process. It is four-tiered and can bake around 60 5cm prams at a go. Yay!

Halloween-themed Cookies

Gosh! Is it already mid-Nov? I am sooo... behind my postings and I do apologise for my tardiness.

I had an order for Halloween-themed cookies for a sweet girl who turned 8 on 31 Oct (hence the theme). The gingerbread cookies were part of the party pack to be given to her classmates on the same day. I wanted to 'flood' the bat and cat with black icing but... it looked too goulish (suitable as it may be) and didn't seem appetizing at all so I just outlined them. The cutters were courtesy of her mom as I didn't have the appropriate ones. Thanks, Juju! I had fun decorating the cookies.

Giant Cookie

My sons' preschool had a Raya celebration last week. I made a giant heart-shaped cookie with chocolate and strawberry chips.
I saved a bit of dough to make some mini cookies for myself. Heh heh. They were pretty nice I'll say.

Lime cookies

As promised, these are the lime cookies which I made for our home Raya celebration. They're soft (easy on the teeth and gums), very subtlely flavoured with lime juice and are bite-sized. Delicately sprinkled with icing sugar, it makes a pretty nice housewarming gift if you like.

Selamat Hari Raya!

I know, I know. Hari Raya was on the 1st of October. But hey! It's never to late to wish all of you a Selamat Hari Raya!

I made a few types of cookies for our home celebration. Not the usual jam tarts, melting moments or such. I'll give that to those who already have years and years of experience baking and making ultra-delicious celebration cookies. I made 3 different types: bittersweet chocolate with sour cherries, lime cookies, and good ol' traditional choc chip cookies.

Pictures? Right. Next post then. Seems like I haven't downloaded them. Sigh...
