Cupcakes and cookies baking session! Been looking forward to this fun but tiring session! It was like a last minute thingie, thats why we ended the baking session around 2am. Before that we actually head down to the old jurong west for baking ingredients but was closed. Next closer ingredients hunting destination would be clementi. Hah! BFF steph & me looked so 'auntie' carrying so many plastic bags in our hands and we took train! We are cost saving people :)


The baking ingredients and recipe books! Not forgetting to mention we had durian feast too! HAHA!

Below are some photos during the baking process


200g of caster sugar


200g of self-raising flour



The 250g unsalted butter and 4 eggs. So fattening!


Looks so gross. LOL. It takes hard work to turn this gross stuff into something light and creamy.


This is what i called light and creamy. Notice the difference? The hard work done was contributed by BFF steph. I was just posing with it =D


The electric mixer comes into the picture. A great helping hand!


The first batch into the hot oven!

Up next, would be the icing for the cupcakes.


The pink icing. I think we failed miserably in this. I suspect is the lack of lemon juice.

While waiting for the cupcakes to be ready, we proceeded with cookies baking.


It was till then to find out that my house was lack of vegetable oil for this mixture. The BFF suggested i bring 4 cupcakes over to my next door neighbour in exchange of vegetable oil. I was like 'HUH, REALLY OR NOT?' No doubt it was embrassing but i do have a friendly next door neighbour. LOL.


The second batch. For the next door neighbour. Does not look good but it taste really good! BFF ting designed this and the one below too.


The third batch. For my colleague who lives a block away from me. Received her sms afterwhich telling me the cupcakes are yummy! Heh.


The fourth batch. + a heart shape cookie!


It's HOT!

I was delighted to see smiles for the cupcakes distributed. That's why i always say cupcakes is HAPPY FOOD! First attempt, not too bad, but still can be better.

Clearing the aftermath can be really tiring. Nonetheless, it was done and over with. Have a happy weekend everyone! Cheers!
