Anything for the babies

Nope not mine.. These are the cakes and cupcakes ordered by mothers for their newborn, 1 and 2 year olds.. FYI, I have to post this as quickly as possible as I took time off just now to bake.. Memang terasa tersangatlah giannya, and I baked a Famous Amos cake and cupcakes... Well, I was experimenting my recipe.. And before baby Jasmine wakes up for another round of feeding, let's start off with this baby blue theme. This set was ordered for Baby Tristan's Full Moon party. Baby Tristan's mom, Lauren also ordered cupcakes as a Full Moon gift. Thanks Lauren for the order.

And this was ordered by Farah Donna for her son Amin. She was inspired by Roger's clown and wanted the same for Amin's cake.. Since she wanted a mix and match set, I was thrilled to have different positions of clowns on the cupcakes and cakes.. More pics in my flickr..

And this was ordered by Farah Dinna... yes, you got it right.. She is Farah Donna's sister. And yes, this was collected on the same day.. This cake was for Mikail's classmates. He is 2 years old, by the way..

Owh... ini untuk Irfan Haziq! Ibunya, Halimatun called, and she was inspired by Farell's cake. So, she ordered one for Irfan Haziq.. just the bottom tier.

I guess that's all for now on birthdays... and ooh... one more picture yang enter frame this time is this medical stuffs for the doctors in the house. This was ordered by kak Su.. Thanks kakak!

Till then everyone!

Pink Roses and Carnations

Tomorrow 18/6, Baby Jasmine be 1 month old.. and today I received a baby gift basket from my customer turned friend Ena, Muar. Terkejut ada, terharu pun ada... Sbb kat rumah ni yang selalu terima gift baskets is my dad.. Terima kasih banyak2 Ena.. And hari ni, I terlebih rajin untuk access the net via my own zaman tok kaduk's computer yang sudah lama I tak on.. Selalu asyik menyendeng kat Nurin's or Dania's laptop. And I just realised there are so many pictures here that I have not uploaded. So, cerita lama la sikit ya.. This was ordered by Kak Su! Her sister's engagement.. I think..(dah lama sangat ni..). Selalunya Kak Su lah orang kuat behind all the parties and events at her house.. She would be THE person who knows what to do, who should do what and ensures that everything is in place on time. When Kak Su mentioned the theme was pink, I suggested the roses that I learnt from Kak Jun.. I really would like to implement and practise them.. as practise makes perfect.. and I sure I hope I delivered them well.. Of course I want my teacher to be proud of me.. :-D

And this set was ordered by Radziah.. the same day I did for Kak Su.. I'm glad she wanted carnations! So, I did different shades of carnations for Rad.. I'm glad to have met her that night before I change to my nighties..

And here is a picture of the cuppies all packed.

This was ordered by Farah for her cousin's wedding. You see, Farah wanted the cake and cupcakes arranged in tiers. I suggested them to use the wine glasses and arrange the cupcakes at the bottom, and middle tier, while the cake goes at the topmost tier. I am supposed to receive a picture from Farah, the final arrangement of the cake, but have not received it. So, you guys imagine aje lah ye..

And, as I finished typing this, I hear Baby Jasmine crying for milk..

Till then folks..

Introducing Baby Jasmine (and still on leave till July 2010)

04/06/2010
Originally uploaded by Mama Chak's Recipe

Welcome to the Mas clan, baby girl! Yes.. I've given birth to a healthy baby girl, Mas Jasmine Zahirah on May 18th, 2010 via c-section this time. Alhamdulillah everything went well and everyone is fine. I am approaching my 4th week of confinement now. Having experienced both c-section and normal deliveries, I would say the healing process for c-section is a little longer compared to the latter. My gynae gave me a list of dos and don'ts before I left her clinic, compared to when I left her clinic after my normal deliveries, which is None :p. So, I sent the mixer for servicing just to ensure that I would take this time to rest properly and heal quickly.

As mentioned in my earlier post, business is as usual, where all orders are passed to my beloved aunts and cousin. Call early to avoid disappointment, as they too have their own customers.

I have started accepting orders for July already. With Baby Jasmine on board and two toddlers (thank God the other 2 are already independent), there is a limit of how many cakes/cupcakes I can do in a day. So, text me to book your slot! ( 1st week and 4th week ada sikit aje slot tinggal).

On another note, please send a text message, as I am not able to answer your call most of the time.. Or send me an email, better!

Thank you so much for all your well wishes.. and may God bless you..

Till then..
xoxo

On leave till July 2010

Nope, I've not given birth yet.. Adoi.. I am now approaching my 39th week already and my baby hasn't taken the correct position for me to deliver the natural way yet.. Duk menari ke sana sini.. My gynae has scheduled a c-section for me next week - Tuesday.. Huwaaaa! The past one week I've been delegating orders from my customers to my aunts and cousin.. So, I would say business is as usual, cuma I tak bake or decorate. :-D.. Ada masanya I will help screen and arrange the orders, and ada masanya I'll just pass you their number ya.. And since I've not been baking, I got a lot of things done. Sungguh seronok creating a list and cancelling them off! I should add uploading pics in my next list. As for now, enjoy this pics first ya.. These are kiddy designs.. ada kiddy + hidden mickey (I dunno what to call it.. Erhan actually requested me to draw mickey mouse.. mana la I terer draw mickey mouse..), and baby theme + hidden mickey

And, I think the week after that, I accepted an order - pun nak Mickey Mouse jugak.. but Norul was inspired by Malaeka's stacked cake.. And since I mana la nak pandai draw Mickey Mouse, she gave me the idea of hidden mickey at the sides and ribbon on top. The cake was delivered all the way to Putrajaya (Thanks Zubir!). She also ordered a batch of mini cupcakes with Malaeka-sprinkles.. I'm happy to know that Dahlia's party was a success and the cake was a hit.. (Sedapkan nama Dahlia.. if I've not named my second child Mas Dania Dalilah.. I would have chosen Dahlia for this baby.. :-)) Asyik dok buat Mickey themed cakes aje, I was priviledged to be introduced with this new trains in town. Meet Koko (green), Brewster (red) and Wilson (blue). Siti ordered these cupcakes as doorgifts for Adam's classmate.. And on the 2nd May, she ordered this cake for Adam's party. Of course, like Thomas, I used the train pan and turned it into Koko, Brewster and Wilson.. As long as Siti approved. Thank you Siti..

And I realised that I did quite a few kiddy girly themed designs just before my leave.. Here are some of them..

Haaa... gambar yang enter frame this time is Serina's 2nd masterpiece.. I kinda force Serina to learn this. Initially she wanted to order cupcakes for hantaran for this June. My aunties and cousin semua dah fully booked for that week.. So, I suruh dia buat sendiri the hantaran.. Barulah bermakna gitu, kan? :-)

Hantaran :: Pink, White, Red...

Hari ni dah 30/4.. Initial intention was to accept orders until this date sahaja. And then, a regular customer, Siti who ordered a stacked clown for Adam's first birthday requested a Chuggington cake for Adam's 2nd birthday on 2nd May. Hard to say NO to my regular customers who have supported me for three years now. :-) And 2nd May jadi 3rd May for Adibah... and then she postponed her party to 4th May, so 4th May pulak jadi last day to bake cakes. And then other regular customers who happened to know that I would be taking a long leave pakat order jugak, and siap text me that they would pray for my health. Thank you Kak Lili.. xoxo... I am excited to post a creation I did today, materialising Dahlia's 1st birthday cake... Tapi, I have a lot more pending pictures to upload.. I don't like to mix birthdays and weddings.. So, since the last post was about birthdays, this one is about hantaran and wedding cakes... Starting off with my favourite customer, Farah Donna who always have faith in me.. (this also reminds me that I have not uploaded Farah Donna's and Farah Dinna's sons' cakes.. sabar ya.. Nanti I cuti, I geledah semua folder I.. ). Farah was the 'orang kuat' for her brother's wedding early April... This hantaran was requested by her mom. Theme color : pink and white.. I'm glad to receive a text message from her informing me how pleased her mom was with the cake.. I'm so happy!

And for the reception, Farah ordered this 3-tier wedding cake for her brother. I'll post different angles of the cake in flickr ya..

Haa... yang ni pulak ordered by Aliya on behalf of her friend. The theme was white, and she requested white flowers on white cake..

Besides this white fondant, Aliya also ordered this pink and red cuppies as hantaran.. I'm not sure now which one was for the groom and which one was for the bride.. Hentam sajalah Labu..

And saving the best for last.. Wani was fascinated by the roses I learnt from Kak Jun and ordered Red Roses for Arie and Ida's hantaran. She wanted 8 roses.. and I tell you this - I made 17!! Cos Wani wanted 'merah hati'.. and my first eight flowers macam tak jadi merah hati.. and I had trouble to eliminate the corn flour .. Alhamdulillah Wani ordered early and I didn't waste my time to do the flowers.. So, I can investigate, find solutions and resolve the issues... And I am very, very happy with the result and so was Wanie.. Aaaah... sukanya terima text message. Bukan sekadar acknowledge dah terima cake.. tapi melahirkan perasaan gembira pulak tu.. ah.. suka hati.. InsyaAllah, I akan upload different angles of the roses nanti ya... To my teacher, Kak Jun.. you are the best! Tengah congak2 ni bila nak boleh pergi kelas figurin.. :-p

Till then everyone. Take care and be well.. Doakan I tau.. xoxo..
