When baking is a piece of cake...

Alhamdulillah, Mama has managed to do some simple baking with Kakak. We have in fact baked about 6 cakes and brownies so far.

Honestly, I'm always a little (or maybe a lot) short of patience. That's essential for those baking from scratch. The measuring, the mess, the clean-up. Those are always a put-off!

But really, thank goodness for PRE-MIXES! They make my life so much easier! Not to mention, when stress aside, it was definitely fun doing it with Kakak. That's why we don't mind doing it over and over again.

"To me it does not really matter if you decide to simplify things. Don't be too hard on yourself. The most important thing is to have FUN!"

All you need is water, vegetable oil and eggs. How simpler can it be! I would prepare all the things needed, and Kakak would do it all by HERSELF!

We usually buy the Pillsbury's brand as it is Halal certified.  

Another chocolate cake!

Tadaa! I made simple ganache to pour over if we did choc cake. 

Brownies! Topped with orange-colored icing decorated by Kakak guided by Mama. No wonder its a mess!  

The brownies was specially made for Nenek to bring home to Singapore. One for Nenek and another for Nenek Nor. Specially and lovingly made by Amira Balqis.
