So im finally back!
Been so busy lately with FHL and let's just say im really a blessed girl :)
Cause i may be starting a freelancing project soon (or like now)..
i have a part time job i enjoy,
i bake part time for FHL :)
2012 has been really great!

Anyway,
im sharing a recipe today! Hazelnut and Nutella Chocolate Cake it is!
Its really easy and fuss-free! Great for beginners!

And i randomly baked this cause i was craving for muffins but i have no muffin tray, nor have any ingredients (cause leslie's house doesn't have baking stuff except for an oven)

So get ready your aluminum tray and ingredients and lets bake!

Nutella Chocolate Cake
Yields an 8inch square alumimum tray

Ingredients:

Set A (DRY)
2 cups - Self Raising Flour
1/2 cup - Sugar

Set B (WET)
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
3/4 cup of chocolate milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Set C (FLAVOUR)
4 tablespoon of Nutella (room temperature)


Steps:
Preheat your oven to 180 C & Grease your aluminium tray (or line your muffin tray)
1) Prepare Set A in a bowl, and Set B in another bowl
2) Whisk Set A till combined, Whisk Set B till combined
3) Mix Set B into Set A, until just combined (do not over mix!)
4) Afterwhich, Fold in Nutella into mixture (you may add more if you want the taste to be stronger)
5) Pour batter into aluminum tray
6) Bake for 40 mins, rotating the tray halfway
(this is a tentative gauge, do keep checking whether its baked by using a wooden stick to poke through cake)



Dummy terms:
i have been a noob in cake terms, so heres sharing some with you guys!
*Whisk = hand whisk would be fine!
*Just combined = Over mixing the batter will cause a disaster
*Fold in = Use a spatula or a big spoon to gently fold in whatever ingredients, don't overmix!, stop when its mixed

Here's what you get :)



















So referring to my cupcake weekend!
Yesterday i had a my melody cupcake order!
Designed the cupcake toppers!
Baked Rocky Road and Malted Chocolate Cupcakes!

We provided our ikea cupcake stand for the event too!

Pictures!











































Their Birthday Cake not done by me! Its really delicious! :)








And today we had an event for kids!
a DIY party set where kids will get to diy their cupcakes!
Prepared 4 coloured icing, 4 condiments and some fondant for decoration!
Cupcakes are spread with vanilla butter cream cheese!

My experience today was really great! Same feeling as being a children's art teacher but in a totally different way!
The kids were so excited about the colours and decorating! AND They were all really independent in designing their cupcakes!
:)
Feels really heartwarming to know that hard work is appreciated.
So touched!! :)

And i always feel that a child art or design is super innocent :)


So here goes!
















































My sister went for the party too! tagged along with me!
Agreed that she sould have more exposure to some children's party :)






Cupcakes the kids did!!

































Had a mini cupcake decorating contest where the 3 best designed cupcakes win goodie bags!!!
Here is the 3 best design!




1, 2 and 3

Have no idea why my sister got 2nd either! But it made her really happy!
And the kids that won!!! The look of acheivement in their eyes! :)))




Lil sister with a cheese balls on the stick, having fun :)

CNY Shopping with my mom, sister and leslie!




School has started and suddenly,
it has gotten really busy in my life (even without working ice cream chefs)
Which is interesting!?
From 2 and a half job and learning driving and studies and etc.
I wonder why my life gets busy so easily.

So i have been reading a book since this week.
Does help to escape into another world :)

Have another great week next week people.
Baked a Simple Hazelnut Cake yesterday at les house,
which i will be posting the recipe soon!

2012 didn't start great for me!
Did it for you?
I hope it did!.

Guess its time to stop feeling devastated and work for a better success!

May FHL prosper too!









Dream big, live well and work on purpose!

Last day of 2011!
Time passes so fast, this year has been full of ups and down.
I guess, the best part of this year is that i went taiwan and i got scholarship while i was in taiwan. My mom had to let me know through Facebook message and all.
:)
Saddest part of this year would be,
having to leave icc after working for 3 years.

But maybe its a well planned purpose from God? who knows?

Anyway,
im back dated!
Countdown for Christmas with the girls, jeff, mh and melvin.
Craziest countdown for christmas so far.
I don't remember screaming so much the pass few years.
hahaha.
