what will you do this weekend?
what? bake a cake? ha, perfect! haha
because today I'll share about the japanese cheesecake i made last week.
a yummy cheesecake with a cotton-y (i'm not sure that's a word) texture.
but after making this cake, i'm sure your family will end up with another slices from the fridge. one and another yes just like that :p
this fluffy cake and super soft texture makes you won't stop on the first slice, or maybe second, or even third slices. as i did. LOL

freshly baked. rise and golden on top

pink&purple hampers

pink and purple is everywhere here!
yes, here in this post :D

as i said in my previous post, i was busy preparing few orders of hampers/goodies.
and these pink and purple hampers belongs to chacha,
a cute girl who loved pink and purple a little too much :p
therefore, i made her a cake and snacks with a little touch of both colors, as her request.
i made mini lasagna, cupcakes, pudding, cakepops, and brownies.

yea, 50 hampes means 250 pieces of cupcakes and other snacks
(exclude the chocolate bar which is store bought)
it was a sleepless night. designing tags, baking, and packing.
but hard work paid off. she looked very happy with the results. Alhamdulillah.
thanks for the order, sweety ;)

Eid Mubarak! (a late post)

minal aidin wal faidzin. mohon maaf lahir dan bathin for you all!
hahaha i know, i know, this is a super late post.
i can't update this blog for long time because Shofi pulled my laptop and dropped it.
and now it can't turn on at all. sigh~ (again. yes, again!).
okay, let's just stop talking about my poor laptop.

so, how was your holiday? i hope it was as good as ours.
we didn't go to surabaya or makassar. we spend our holiday at home.
BUT, it was so good, we paint the wall and made cookies together, it was really really a quality time.
as i mentioned above, we made food and sweets for Eid Al-Fitr.
and we're so happy, because some of our neighbors came to our house that day.
so we didn't have to eat those sweets by ourselves. lol.
we made some jars of nastar and putri salju, some cakes such as cupcakes, brownies, pudding, etc.
and for the main course, i made coto, and mie titi.
and it dissapeared completely in two days ;)

my little helper :')

anyway, i'm working on some hampers/goodies for baby and toddler.
so, I'll be back with some updates about my new hampers project soon.
that's all for now, hope you had a happy saturdayyy!

it's a CAKE again!

life is getting confusing lately. sometimes i can't feel my feet on the ground. phew.
fortunately i still have the chance to baking some cakes. mid-night or early morning or sometimes when shofi taking a nap.
baking is like a therapy these days. i enjoy the time i melt the butter, mix the flour, beat the eggs, fold the batter and of course the best part is always the eating part. and since i've lost weight continuously these months, i have more reasons to eat sweets. well, who would refuse a piece fresh-from-the-oven cake? it's absolutely not me!

oh well, now i'll share a recipe that i copied from here,
this cake is very easy and simple to make and taste so good, soft and moist.
is there anything better than that?
i topped this cake with buttercream frosting and fresh strawberries.
so, if you have spare time and want to make a simple cake, this is the recipe you're looking for.


you will need
1 cup natural yoghurt
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
½ cup oil
3 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

how to make
mix together all ingredients in a large bowl.
preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F),
line the bottom of a round 25-cm (10-inch) cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean.

and oh, hello there!

so i hope you enjoy the recipe, and have a great weekend! ;)

second anniversary! *yippie*
