I am half of this blog and out of the country.
Having life out of my course with friends and the other Z ,
and accounting bits and pieces that I would seldomly oversee in this blog .
Eyes for sense of style, colours and proportion to the slightest inch.
Personally fond of detailing.

I cook and now we bake.
I had great exposure of the art of cooking, thanks to my mum. However if saying my cooking experience into formal education, I think my major is more of main dishes. That's why lately I felt like exploring more into food; which is the art of baking. I like cakes so much, but I think making them is a bit messy. With the ingredients, measurements and everything I just couldn't handle them. So, difficult things if you do them together with friends they'd become easy breezy. I realised I needed support and reassurance that the cakes will turn out great. And plus I wouldn't be able to finish them all by myself. Therefore I forced Zamri, Helmi Razali and Helmi Mazanudin to join forces in making cakes.
And here's our journey from shopping till sugar-rushing.
The recipe: Best-Ever Brownies by Julia Child.
Shopping in Tesco.
When I took this photo one makcik maybe the manager looking very angry came to us and suddenly asked what we were doing. And we were like 'errr...why??' And she said arrogantly 'you're not allowed to take pictures unless you have permission bla di bla di bla.' We were like oh yeah sorry. That makcik boleh relax tak. You don't have to look that angry and you could always say it properly. And plus it's Tesco honey. Oh well, we won't let her ruin our baking mood. So off we went home.
With the help of others, I cooked dinner first. Schezuan chicken and stir-fried vegetables.
Zamri and Helmi working hard through the measurement bits of the recipes.
And Helmi making sure the mixing was perfect.
This is how the working station looked like after.
Dinner's ready!
Carrot cake mix. Mind the periuk. We don't have proper mixing bowl. Hehe.
After dinner I attempted making Julia Child's best-ever brownies. Now melting the butter and the cooking chocolate.
While preparing for the brownies, the carrot cake was ready. It turned out way better than we anticipated. Although there's some cracking but it's home-made!
Ready to bake!
We spread on lots of cream cheese and icing sugar glazing on the carrot cake, and sprinkled some cinnamon powder.
The carrot cake was phenomenal! Totally way beyond our expectations. It was fantastic! Considering it was the first time for all of us it turned out great!
We didn't eat the brownies until the next day. We ate them warm with Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice-cream. Heaven!
The baking lesson ended up a success. The brownies was quite buscuity around the edge but was still soft in the middle. We definitely will do the brownies again!
Such an amazing way to fill up our weekends!
But wait, hutang still kene bayar okayyy.. Zamri was the efficient treasurer for the baking weekend. $$.
More baking to come for sure.
