Yah.... I am, officially, the most horrible cook/baker in the universe. Hah, at least the worse you ever known.
You might think, "ooohh,that's because you're just lazy. You didnt try"
Some maybe a little considerate, and say " cooking needs talent and passion"
Excuse me~~
I do try, many many failed attempt but a few random lucky ones. Maybe i dont have talent but i really want to learn, so that's a little something i call passion, maybe.
THEN..
So anyway, i remember last raya, Raya 2007, my mom had this brilliant idea of hers, and told me to bake a cake. "It's very easy, faa. Try this"
I must admit, it look pretty easy. I mean, IT IS, actually.
and I said "Why dont u just buy it, just like you always do every raya?"
She said "Well, you're a young lady now, I would love to try the cake you bake this time"
Good point Mum, if only there's any cake i ever bake is edible.
I wish there's a magic word i can chant and suddenly *POOF* a nice,beautiful,edible, delicious cake for Mummy on Raya. Haha
The next thing i know, the ingredients was set on the table. Dad just bought all that for me so that i could get it over and done with fast. He said,all I need to do is read the recipe and mix it all together and *Voila*
A presentable actual edible marble choc cheese cake.
How I wish it's that easy. =.="
My dad said "
It'll be faster and much cheaper if you make your own cake,faa"
So i said "
True, but just dont get your hopes too high"
hah! Guess what! (There's no need to guess tho, it's pretty much PREDICTABLE)
I ended up RUINED the 1st attempt cake. Dont ask how, I dont even know!
and BURNED the 2nd attempt cake.
and Finally, the 3rd cake is most likely edible and presentable as a Hari Raya Cake.
haha.
So yah, so much for saving up money, I succeed baking A cake for the price of 3 CAKES.
Worth it? i GUESS SO~~~ as it only happens once in a blue moon.
haha.
NOW...
You think I've learned my lessons?
I tried again, Just recently, baking an INSTANT cake.. i know, i know.. so not lady like of me .
BUT WHATEVER, it's easy. It should be tho.
and you know what, i even ruin them. and again, that's not my first time ruining my Instant cake thingy.
*BLONDE MOMENT*Instant cake to me is = Buy a box of labeled "Choc cake"+"few eggs"+"few grams of butter"+ Mix it with electric mixture, then of course, BAKE IT.
haha.. "
Main Buyok", my Granma would say, I couldnt care less. I mean, if she ever wants to taste her granddaughter's cake, this is the only reasonably SAFE way to deal with it.
hehe..
Previous attempts
1. Again, my dad made me bake a cake for Mom's birthday.. i told him to pass me money so that i can buy an actual delicious cake. and he said he'd rather i bake a cake myself. =.='
the cake was a disaster..it was sooooooooo dry. One would actually cough just after a few bites of the cake. Sad~ :/
But i decorated it nicely, with chocolate on top and some cute whatever that bright2 pink stars are called. and colorful beads of whatever thingy. So eventually, all the kids finished it up. With the help of several glasses of water of course.
2. Oh, for fun. I bake a Vanilla cake for my sisters. It's bright yellow. And i decided to use Chocolate rice (What's left of it,from the previous baking) to make Mr.Smiley for them.. Accidentally, i poured way tooo much chocolate rice for Mr.Smiley's Right Eye. and i didnt have enough for his left eye. When it's done, i invited my excited sisters for girls' tea.
Just when i thought my little accident with Mr.Smiley's eyes would be left unnoticed,
my youngest sister, Hanaa said "
Oh my, Kakak!!!!!! What happened to Mr.Smiley's eyes???"
The other, Hudaa said "
Yalah, the right one's bigger than the other. CACAT!!"
Just how can i explain myself to the then 4 year old and 7 year old that FLAW IS INEVITABLE.
=.="
There's more. but i think this is enough. haha. The other stories are just HORRIBLE-ER. haha.
DON'T imagine~!I wish i can bake. like, cute cute cuppy cakes or very nice delicious ala2 Famous Amos cookies, then, scrumptious Cream puffs , at least anything that makes people drools for it. haha.
My next attempt : Cream puffs and Cookies. No Cuppy cakes YET.
oh, notice that there's no picture, well, who would capture a picture of MY CAKE? Public humiliation. haha.
HERE'S THE PICS :-
