BUTTER COOKIES FAIL.






How disappointing, can’t even manage to bake for sale.


According to the recipe, it requires Anchor Butter,

but I thought that BLOODY Buttercup was butter.


Since Buttercup is much cheaper.


True enough its butter, margarine butter.


And also it requires all purpose flour, I didn’t have any, so I used cookies flour and substitute with high ratio flour.


FUCKING EPIC FAILED!


Cookies turned out to be kind of tasteless, and cake-like texture in the middle.

More like butter cake covered cookies.




cake-like center.



EH, FUCK MY LIFE LAA.



I just bloody wasted RM25 for shits.


My plan was to earn, not lose money!


Sigh.





I’m a failure, can’t do simple stuff.

But as I fail, I improve from my mistakes.





CONCLUSION IS,


#1 Don’t be stingy in buying butter!

#2 Buttercup is NOT butter!

#3 Don’t buy cheap piping bags!

#4 Buy flour!





I feel like I’ve lost half of my energy,

by just cleaning up.





The only good thing is,




MUM COOKED A HUGE PLATE OF SMALL CLAMS!


Her cooking improved a lot.


SYABAS kepada emak aku!




this is love


Cake!

Wow! Today’s my first day joining the bakery institute. One word “awesomeness“. Thanks to Jacqueline for making me addicted to that word, lol. Anyway, as and if you recalled, I was three weeks late when I started to join them, course began three weeks ago, including this week. So today was about computer technology and baking, practical work in other word.

So we baked two kinds of cakes today, one’s vanilla sponge cake and another’s pandan flavoured swiss roll ;) For the pandan swiss roll, we used a little green colouring for decoration and it looked awesome! Rolling the wide flat cake into a roll isnt easy at all. Then each of us were given a sponge cake and they gave us fruits like strawberry, peach, kiwi and canned pineapple for decoration purposes, and of course, cream ;)

here are the pictures ;

guess which one i rolled ;)



the nice one of course :P


and after cutting it with a knife


each student one :D



And now moving on to the cake, which I didnt know i have the talent to cut it into 3 layers and cream it! First picture below would be the lecturer’s masterpiece. Please comment about the cake, thank you :)

my masterpiece 



Sorry laa, I know its not as good looking as the “sifu’s” one, lol. But I’ma gonna improve myself by trying harder! And we’re allowed to take it home, so, mum just cut out a piece and three of us tasted it. It taste as if its from the bakery, LOL duh? it is from the bakery. Except its made by me!
