i'm getting older

Last monday (August 3rd), I celebrated my *toot* birthday. (sorry, a girl doesn't tell her age. :P) And since my birthday falls on a monday (sigh).. I kinda celebrated it on Sunday with Bunny, my brother and a bunch of friends by having lunch at IKEA. Gawd, I LOVE them foods at IKEA! Especially that Chicken Leg set and the Prawn Salad. Ohhhhh.. just talking about it makes me drool!

And then after lunch, Bunny and I parted from the group and went furniture shopping. YAY! Finally got myself a brand new coffee table and a white drawer. So happy! :D

Speaking of my birthday, Bunny actually bought me a box of very cute looking cupcakes - he knows how much I love cupcakes. :D However, I didn't managed to take photos of the cupcakes coz we (Bunny and I) were a bunch of hyenas. We finished the whole box of cupcakes in less than an hour and I forgot to take a photo or two of the cupcakes. LOL

I managed to take a shot of the mini birthday cake tho - well, Bunny did. Since Bunny is not a keen cake eater (and I couldn't possibly finish up a whole cake alone) we end up getting a mini cake instead. Just for the sake of having a birthday cake, I guess. Ha Ha!

Well.. here's the cake:


Bunny also gave me the best gift a woman could ever get on her birthday ... but I'd rather not tell you what it was. *wink* I can tell you tho, that it comes with a birthday card with a note inside that says very heartwarming words for me. Bunny made me feel so loved and blessed to have him in my life..

Ahh.. life is such a bliss. :D

yatta!! (but not quite lah)

Man, this Christmas season really makes me lazy. I have been abandoning my blogs, my assignments.. even my blog design requests lately. In fact, I have rejected ALL blog design request this month because I wanted to fully concentrate on this month of Christmas. LOL!

Well, I've been busying myself with gift shopping with my brother. I'm glad to say that I'm finally done with gift shopping - now down to home deco and some extra clothes for myself. :P

Oh, yesterday was my roomie's birthday. I only found out after checking his Facebook in the noon. And it so happened that I just bought RM600+ worth of cake deco, so I made a quick decision to bake him a cake. By the way, in NO WAY am I saying I'm a good baker. (you'll know why)

After 6 hours of baking and crafting the fondant deco... it turned out that my cake was disastrous!!! From the moment I got it out of the pan, I KNEW there's something wrong with it. Upon tasting it, I could sadly say that the cake was edible.. but tasted like RUBBER.

*boohoo*

Mind you, I was cursing and throwing stuff to let out my anger after wasting all those time for that stupid cake. I even called it "The f*cking cake". Really. It was THAT horrible. And just to soothe my angry self, I decided to go ahead and proceed with the deco - since I've already shaped the fondant!

This is the top part of the cake:

I hand-made all of these!

As for the rest of the cake... hmm... I think I'm not gonna show you lah. The cake's too horrible that no fondant nor icing could hide the flaws! :*(

I never showed the cake to my roomie. Well, I did told him about the cake and how horrible it turned out, but I never took it out of my room. I think I'm gonna keep it there for a while as a deco - or until I see some hungry stray dogs roaming in front of the house.

As for my roomie, I end up taking him to Baskin & Robbins so he could buy himself an ice-cream cake. Wahahaha!!

Bah! I'm still angry and sad, I think I'm gonna cry. :(

bake with jane

I'm making chocolate cake today. Right now, it's sitting inside the oven, baking. I don't know how it'll turn out, but I'm hoping for the best! :P

Will post the pic over here if everything looks great. Haha!

UPDATE: This is how the cake looked like! :D

Did a little baking, and here's the result:


It was fun baking and decorating it, but no fun eating alone. :(
