My Second order:
Happy birthday EMILY!
And pecan pie. 3 of them and counting
Whew! My feet are aching and I'm awful tired... cos.. cos... I've been baking straight from 11am to 5pm! Gong-gong and Popo came up from melaka for the day and me and mummy undertook this fun task of baking tea. I'm still grateful for the Kenwood Premier Daddy bought.. saved us a LOT of work!
Ok, I started out with making the pie doughs for 2 quiches and a pecan pie.
Saturday night I made the great weeping coffee meringue pie, also featured here.
Pecan Pie
Quiche-Quiche
And the Cuppies: Italian Meringue Buttercream
Aren't these swirls cute? Shows how much I learnt in class, and 1 class really makes a difference. The color of the BC is SO cute becos I used brown sugar... so got peachy color. Daddy's cam is great.
AH my favorite choc roses...
My lovely cuzzins Eunice and Rachel were here, so they were given the task of liberally sprinkling the cuppies with hundred and thousands. They had fun!
Ok I will post up a pic of the whole dinner/tea later (at 5:30 we started eating, was in such a rush!).

These are pics from last Sat. Deb, Reb, and Joyce went over for a cuppie class by Miss Eunice from Dolce Cupcakes. Do check out web. Anyway, the great sifu Miss Eunice taught us buttercream swirls and roses, fondant piggies, and other things. Yes, I did buy a Wilton 1m from Chang Tung on the way home! Even had dessert of crunchy, crumbly, Apple crumble... yums. Thanks Eunice for the class. Hope for another class soon!
My Fahsion Piggy:
Anyway, that night I came from church with a huge but fun task - 49 cuppies for churcht tmrw. Used the swirls and fondant skills.
The set:
Design 1: The swirl... or whatever it's called!
Design 2 A star-tip flower with a choc curl... for aunties who don't like too much frosting!
Design 3: Fondant flowers (see above, they are the white ones)
Mmm... Made then last night... and almost finished by now. Bro loves them and they taste the same, maybe better than Aunty's Annes. Love them fresh out of the oven and brushed with globs of melted butter.
