1 surprised birthday party, 1 promo tartlets & 1 un-surprised birthday party

There are few things need to be reviewed, so I'll combine everything in one post.

Last Friday, Shantini ordered 5 boxes of Blueberry Cheese Tart (BCT) for her brother's surprised birthday party.

Ini antara crust/shells yang telah berjaya disiapkan pada malam sebelumnya.. Alhamdulillah, everything went well semasa baking the crust..


The complete BCT in the houssseee! In blue sarang lagi tu haa...


Delivered to Shantini as promised. The following day, she told me, her brother got home wayyy before the guests came. So, tak berapa jadila 'surprise' nye.. I guess, the guests la kot surprised tgk birthday boy terpacak tunggu diorg datang..hehehe..nevertheless, they loveeeee the cheese tarts.. thanks Shan for your order.. and am sorry about your missing sarang. I don't know where it is - until now.. So, these new 5 sarangs, you keep it ok? nanti-nanti nak order, boleh recycle. Mari kita selamatkan pokok.. :-)

Divert sket..nak cerita pasal  'sarang'...Sarang ni sebenarnya tartlet holder. Initially we wanted to buy ready-made aje..but then, takde dijual. Agaknya kena custom-made kot..yg ada pun size yg amat besar fit for cupcakes only.. Since then timbul byk idea utk hasilkan the holder.

My mom suggested a template - buat siap2 lubang2 dia, just like sarang telur tu (hence, lekat nama 'sarang' :p)  then kita pi la tempah dekat welder (ke tukang besi kot?) utk buat template tu. Then bila nak pakai, tekap je kat manila kad. Yes, we did that. Siap mak balik penang pi tempah di sana lagi tu. Hahaha..semangat! but it was a bit difficult sbb the edges sgt tajam..oh ya, it was made by aluminium..thats why la dia sgt tajam..So, scrap..

Then my sister plak came with a genious idea. She said, similar to the concept aluminium sarang tu, why not we draw the sarang on a piece of paper instead. pastu photostat banyak2..setiap kali nak pakai, glue it to the manila card, then potong je ikut the lines. So, I gave her the precise measurement of my shell's & box's size siap dgn dotted lines kat mana I nak lipat bagai. She drew it on a piece of A3 paper. Walla!! siap! Thank you adik!!

Memang berhasil la teknik ni..sbb tak tajam and tak luka-luka la.. Ceyy, mula2 buat sume sarang in white. Reason being, nak kasik sama kaler dgn kotak..standardization la kengkononnya.. Slowly, my business partner, Nazlin, started guna warna-warna pastel. Like soft pink, soft blue, soft green sebab putih dah sold out. Dia la tu yg memborong kad manila..hahaha.. lepas tu, she started using bright colors plak. Electric blue, fuschia pink.. and it turned out good! cheerful! and lain dari yg lain.. .it really compliments my tartlet..(err..ke aku sorang je yg syok sendiri???) but I really likeeee it.. lepas ni, nak cari color olive green plak..itu official color for Glory Bites..ala-ala corporate color gitu..hahaha..

2nd Story:

Remember few times I quoted Chics or Chics In Red in this blog? saya dah promote Glory Bites to her..hehehe.. go here for her write-up about Glory Bites' Blueberry Cheese Tartlets..

It all started via facebook.. selepas dah bertungkus-lumus bersilat kat dapur semalaman utk siapkan crust (first pic above), I posted the picture in FB..kena pulak masa tu dia tgh facebook-ing..she commented on my pic..on the spot we agreed to meet the following night at McD Equine Park. Kebetulan dia nak gi amik husband dia kat airport, so singgah la ke Equine Park. I handed over a box of BCT in pink sarang..



Close-up sikit..please excuse the quality..tangkap pakai handphone camera je..



Overall, Chics sgt puas hati.. :-) Alhamdulillah..mudah-mudahan Glory Bites dapat melebarkan sayapnya selepas ini..

3rd Story:

Kak Safura (my regular cake customer) ordered a Durian Cheese Cake for her daugther's 15th birthday. No hal la nak buat cake tu..tapiiii..masalahnya..dia mau tulis2..adoiyaiii..tulisan saya ni haa, kadang2 saya sendiri pun tak blh baca..inikan pula nak tulis cantik2 atas cake.. but, customer's request must be fulfilled by hook or by crook.. I won't tolerate any excuse from myself..hmm...I think I need to enroll myself in cake deco class lah.. Insya'Allah..soon..mmg ada dlm perancangan..cuma tinggal persoalan, 'bila' dan di mana' je..hehehe..

I dare not take the risk now because someone's birthday is at stake. My handwriting is OUT! tak blh pakai.. so I asked for my friend's help. He is very good in this design thingy. His writing, MasyaAllah..cantikkk.. very artistic..so, heret dia ke kedai aunty (the shop I regularly buy all my baking stuff).. I mixed the butter and sugar and coloring. Put in piping bag, kasi dia satu cake board, hah, prektis la di situ..sambil I feeling-feeling jadi cikgu tunjuk ajar cara-cara nak pakai piping bag..ajar org pandai, nak buat sendiri takut! apa da... He is a fast learner indeed. After few trials, jadi dah.. memang dia buat sungguh-sungguh..penuh khusyuk dan tawaduk ..berpeluh-peluh la jgk dia tahan panas kat dapur aunty tu.. :-)


Buat, padam, buat, padam.. Each time padam, sume icing tu masuk mulut dia..hahaha..lawak.. tp takpe lah..asalkan dia mau buat.. thanks darlin! Love you to the max!! Upahnya apa? belanja makan nasi tersedap di cyberjaya.. Saba Restaurant.. Lamb Hanith Rice.. senang je nak jaga dia ni.. :-)
Maka dgn ini, rasmilah dia sbg Creative Art Director for Glory Bites...hahaha..eh, jgn tak tau, member siap nak bukak kedai dgn I lg tu haa..takpa..semangat dah ada..itu yg penting..

Cake durian ni, is chilled cheese cake. Tak bake langsung. So dia very 'fragile'.. I mean it must be refrigerated at ALL times and tak blh simpan lama..karang ada yg jadi tempoyak pulak.. and nak buat dia pun tak blh awal2 sgt..so that in case customer nak simpan after party, blh la tahan at least 2-3 hari..takkan la nak paksa org habiskan cake tu dlm masa satu hari je kan..so, I started making it awal pagi around 4.30am mcm tu. Siap sume kul 6.00am.. I chilled it for approximately 10 hours before pick up time (minimum 6 hours to set properly).


This is the Durian Cheese Cake. It weighs around 1.8kg, and size = 9inch. The base is made of digestive biscuits and cornflakes. I use brown sugar to sweeten the base. Must not be too sweet though, or else, it will camouflage the natural taste of durian on top. And nanti cake bukannya jadi lemak-lemak manis, tp akn jadi super ultra manis..Org Penang ckp, 'manihh melecaihhh'.. so, must strike a balance di situ..

The filling is made using pure durian..takde pakai2 flavor ni..sebab tu la cake ni tak blh simpan lama-lama.. :p ..custard is used to give yellow tinge to the filling..and gelatine is used to hold them together..kiranya mcm binding agent la..mesti guna yg halal punya ye..I used gelatine from fish.. more about halal gelatine here
Last but not least, mesti kena pakai Cream Cheese..baru lah namanya Durian Cheese Cake kan..

Selalunya org yg order with me, takde deco2 ni..my concept is 'less is more'..(yg sebenarnya, saya yg tak pandai deco)..I will sprinkle snow powder on top and thats it. Refer picture above..

Jika ada request utk deco, baru lah kami buat deco..seperti gambar di bawah:


Amacam? ok tak? boleh la kan? First time deco tulis2 ni..siap ada ladybird lg..hahaha..

Thanks Kak Safura for your order..harap puas hati ya..

To birthday girl, Alya:

Happy 15th Birthday..May today be filled with sunshine and smiles, laughter and love.
Hope you enjoy your birthday cake albeit an unconventional one.. :-)

Sophie Dazrene

A couple of weeks ago, Sophie (my niece) had a birthday bash at her home. Her mommy put me in-charge for the dessert department. I don’t know what is wrong with me, each time I get to cater for events like this, confirm menggelupur!  Bukannya tak penah buat or tak biasa, tp tetap ada jgk perasaan tu.. She ordered brownies (large size), Rich Chocolate Cake and 100 pcs of tartlets both Blueberry Cheese and Lemon flavor.. maka bersilat lah saya di dalam dapur secara berperingkat-peringkat selama seminggu..
Semua penat lelah menyiapkan orders hilang sekelip mata when I saw her face lit up and she was soooo happy..running here and there and walloped my lemon tartlets like there’s no tomorrow.. the theme for this year was ‘Royal Party’.. so her mommy made ALL of us to wear tiara for the party..budak kecik tu comey la pakai tiara, aku ni haaa…adoiii..burok bebenor..seb baik la I am NOT a princess..or else my daddy would have a hard time making me a custom-made tiara that suits my face and my fat body..tp takpe lah, for birthday girl’s sake, layan kan aje..so me and my sis, pun datang lah dengan tiara kitorg (yg sebenarnya bukan tiara pun! it’s just a headband je..hahah) mmg saje beli headband sbb kot2 nnti org lain tak bertiara, kami plak dok syok sendiri bertiara bagai..hahaha..
Everybody, meet the princess of the day!


Besar dah budak ni..kejappp je dah 3 tahun..

More pictures taken during the party..


Dua org makcik kepada Sophie merangkap caterer, maid, babysitter, cleaner and also blh jadi princess pada bila-bila masa yg diperlukan.. :-) 

So, this was my station.. lebih kurang mcmni la setup dia..front row from left: Raspberry Cheese Brownies, Blueberyy Cheese Tartlets, Rich Chocolate Cake and Lemon Tartlets.. The pink macaroons, lollipops and pink marshmallows kedai mari.. 

Cik Puan Muda Sophie sedang memilih kuih apa nak dijadikan santapan..

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch the tiger by the toe.
If it hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you are it!


 Queen Mother and Princess cutting cake..


Castle Cake baked and decorated by Sophie's nani (maternal grandmother a.k.a Auntie Salina to us).. kreatif kan?

She won the musical chair contest..hahaha..kasik can la kan budak birthday..eh, clown ni plak yg terlebih ceria..




Babysitter mode..I am holding Rudy and my sister holding Harris..tp tiara tetap tak tinggal wooo...hahaha..kami mmg tebiat! 
All in all, it was such a fun party..thanks to kak Amy for your trust in Glory Bites. It was an honor to serve you and your guests and of course the birthday girl.. :-)

To Sophie:
Happy 3rd birthday sweetheart..auntie love you sooo much..may Allah bless you always and protect you from any harm..be good girl and sayang adik ok..

Strangers, again...?

Tu diaaa..gila lama tak update..

Chics posted a video in her blog about phases of relationship. It was so touching that I almost cried (almost ye, karang orang ingat aku ni gila agaknya)... The video depicted the truth about relationship..well from my point of view lah..and it was really an eye opener to me.


Kan aku dah cakap...

Chics was kind enough to list all the stages according to this video (I copy-paste je)

There are 7 stages of relationship:

Stage 1: Meeting
Stage 2: The chase
Stage 3: Honeymoon
Stage 4: Comfortable
Stage 5: Tolerance
Stage 6: Downhill
Stage 7: Breaking up

Safe to say, my relationship is kinda in stage 4: Comfortable. Stage yang sangat bahaya kalau tak kena caranya. Bila dah comfortable, we tend to take the other person for granted . I really hope both of us could steer our relationship away from stage 5, 6 and na'uzubillah stage 7..

Yes, we had our fair share of arguments, yelling, swearing, and what not..but we always kiss and make up.. Alhamdulillah..so far, lepas sessi menaga, one of us will give-in and apologize (selalunya dia la..hahaha.. ate, if you reading this, disebabkan perangai you yang ni lah I sayang you sgt2 ok)..

I got this from Twitter:  when you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place...so damn true!

Dekat stage yang after the breakup tu, Josh wanted to get back to her..in the hope of restoring whats left in their relationship..he called Marissa and said "I miss you...", sekali dibalas "Are you drunk??!!"....ohh, sunggoh kesian..pastu jumpa plak dalam facebook, Marissa dah ada org lain..double kesian.. :-( memang betol la org cakap, the worst part about trying to make a relationship work is finding out the other person has already given up..

He is my unicorn..you know..unbelievable, crazy special..the guy I thought could never exist..
and I really hope that I will always be his unicorn...

Ape ke hal nye jiwang sgt entry niii?? Hormonal imbalance..tengok ape pun sensitif..ok abaikan.

Jari Mana yang Disyariatkan Memakai Cincin

I just came across an interesting topic di blog auntie nani. I am an avid reader of her blog..serious best! She started of by writing episodes of her life..dari muda sampai sekarang. Dari start dia bercinta, bertunang, kahwin, sampai la skarang dah bercucu. Yang best nye, setiap entry disertakan gambar-gambar. Setiap gambar-gambar lama, auntie akan scan and upload. Tabik spring lah sama auntie!!! Kita yang pakai smartphone lah, digital camera lah, pun masih malas nak upload gambar. Eh, bukan 'kita', hanya saya je yang malas..jangan saman saya ok.
Kadang-kadang auntie akan selitkan resepi-resipi, some parenting tips, petua and nasihat-nasihat. Memang cool lah auntie ni. Tapi sekarang auntie selalu sakit-sakit.. :-( Semoga auntie pulih dan kembali sihat dan kuat.

Back to the article, it is about wearing rings. Have you ever wondered which finger(s) you should wear a ring? I mean for a Muslim la..yang non-muslim tak kisah kot nak pakai memana jari kan? Well I did. Disebabkan jari tengah saya bengkok (akibat selalu cedera kena bola masa zaman sekolah dulu) makanya saya sentiasa pakai jari manis. What about you guys out there? Korang pakai jari mana? Maybe some of you memang dah tau lamaaaa dah, hanya saya je yang ketinggalan..maafkanlah saya, saya memang cenggini..anyhow, I still want to share it here.

Jari Mana yang Disyariatkan Memakai Cincin

Jawapan pada soalan tersebut adalah bertepatan dengan kandungan antara 13 Nasihat Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam kepada Saidina Ali kw. sesudah Saidina Ali berkahwin dengan Siti Fatimah iaitu anakanda kesayangan Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam. Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam berpesan kepada Saidina 'Ali iaitu kalau memakai cincin pakailah di jari:
1] jari manis
2] jari kelingking (anak jari)

dan jangan memakai pada jari:
1] jari tengah
2] jari telunjuk

Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam melarang kerana memakai cincin pada jari telunjuk dan jari tengah adalah meniru cara berhias kaum yang dilaknat oleh Allah iaitu kaum yang derhaka di zaman Nabi Luth a.s.

Perhatian : Cara memakai cincin adalah termasuk lelaki ataupun perempuan. Muslimin dan Muslimat, sila nasihatkan kawan-kawan dan juga saudara-mara ataupun anak-anak tentang kaedah yang betul untuk berhias di dalam syariat Islam, kalau tidak sia-sia saja kita mendapat laknat dari Allah SWT. Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam memakai cincin dan kalau kita memakai cincin dengan niat mengikut sunnah Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam dapatlah kita pahala.
 
************************************************************************************************
 
Ada hikmah nye juge ya jari tengah saya bengkok..hehehe..
Oh, ada lagi satu soalan, kiri and kanan blh pakai ke or kanan je?

Tribute to Mel

Have you ever talked to your car?
Am not sure if there is someone out there who does this..but I do..and my sister.. we always 'talk' to our car.. Every morning at the office, after I lock her (yes, my car is a girl) I will say 'Thank you Vee for bringing me safely here. Sit tite. Love ya..’ And after work, when I reached home safely, again I would thank her and say 'Be safe..Love ya..' Czyrell, if you read this, I love you too ok?
My sister lagi la..bila dia drive, and tak nampak bump or potholes, and terlanggar dengan sgt kuat, she will quickly tell me, ‘kak, adik terlanggar bump tadi..kuuuuaaaaat sgt..kesian Mel..dia terkejut. Tp dah say sorry dah dkt dia’...gila tak? nahh..I don't think so.
Kereta-kereta ni pandai merajuk tau..well at least Vee ni mmg pandai merajuk. Once I kinda ‘scolded’ her. Bukan marah dekat dia pun. Marah dekat org lain, tapi dia yang kena tempias. Haaa kauuuu… One week my alarm buat hal. Bila dah lock, nak unlock pulak tak boleh.. kena buka manually…dah satu hal pulak nak immobilize the alarm. Ada la jugak 5-6 saat baru blh bg dia senyap. Merasa la dpt attention di car park setiap kali nak unlock dia. Hahaha..padan muka saya! Lepas dah minta maaf, sayang-sayang dia, baru la dia ok balik.. Yang tak faham nye, the remote alarm baru je gi tukar. Bukan setakat tukar battery, abih sume cip pun tukar baru. Lepas tukar tu mmg takde masalah. Tapi lepas dia kena marah, baru dia jadi hal. I don’t know why or how to explain, but it happens. Dulu dgn motor (when I was in Uni). Merajuk, terus hilang!! Tapi jumpa blk after one year kot..ntah..tak ingat. Tapi polis jumpa dekat Rawang (I was in Seri Kembangan back then).
As for my sister, Mel was with her for 4 years. Now Mel is not with her anymore… L
Last Saturday, my sister received her new car. So I accompanied her (together with my parents) to Sg. Buloh to handover Mel, and take the new car. I tell you, memang drama habis la kat tpt tu. Menangis!!! err..bapa tak la..kami tiga je yg nangis.. Masa dok transfer barang-barang tu, air mata dah dok bergenang –genang dah..semua org diam je buat kerja..tapi, masa last org tu drove Mel away, adoiii…sayu sunggoh.. air mata mcm fountain! Tercengang-cengag jugak la org sekeliling..haissshh..skarang baru rasa malu..hahaha..
 Vincentt (si penjual kereta itu) mmg terkejut gila tgk kitaorg. Dia ckp, ‘Weeiiii…you guys love that car so much huh?” mesti la! lagi mau tanya…kecik-kecik dia tu pun, she’s ours tau..Hoh!
Hmmm..Even though Mel wasn’t mine, but I felt some kind of ‘attachment’ sebab I was the one who took her from the showroom in Gombak, bawak gi kat my sister’s kolej. Rasa mcm baru je amik Mel. Padahal dah 4 tahun dah.. Walaupun kereta tu kecik aje, tp sayanggg sgt kat dia. She was a very good car. Tak penah bg masalah. Just like Vee.  Mama ckp, ‘esok-esok ni adik dah byk duit, adik cari dia blk ok’
Adik la kesian. Mmg jelas sgt nampak dia kecamuk. Tak boleh nak happy sbb tgh sedih sbb terpaksa tinggalkan Mel. Masa mula-mula Vincentt dok terangkan about the new car, she was still crying. I couldn’t imagine what I would do if I am in that situation… Don’t worry Vee, kakak would never sell you ok..Insya’Allah we will always be together.

To Mel,
Kakak & Abang hope you are doing great wherever you are. Insya’Allah you will get a new owner soon. And we reallllly hope he/she will take good care of you and sayang you like we did (and we still do). Be safe darling… May we meet again someday…

What took me so long...

Lama tak update blog ni..why? haaa..meh sini nak terangkan...yg pertama skali sibuk..memang sibuk with work as well as baking, but it was not the main reason..so, what really deters me from updating GB??? masalah kendiri..

few times i opened this page, type seperenggan dua, then tenung la skrin ni sampai tembus pun, tak jugak ilham ni datang..my friend, Bazli, suggested to share stories/facts/history/myths about ingredients, cake, biscuits, etc.. I tried that, tp jenuh la pulak buat research nye..dah mcm nak buat thesis dah ni..kena google sana sini, buat references, credits...adoiii la...mau mkn masa 3 bulan nak buat one short so-called article about sebijik butter je..and the info, i tell you...gilaaaaa banyaaakkk...org ni ckp mcm ni, org tu ckp mcm tu..sudah nye, aku juge yg konfius..maka nya, tinggal la kamu dlm draft sampai God knows when..

takpe la, kalau ada kesempatan, I'll finish the article and post it up here..for the time being, i don't know what the hell to write..am not the type of person yg pandai mengarang..dulu2 masa belajar pun, subject BM la yg aku kantoi paling teruk..bercakap pun lebih kurang la...i think i have issues explaining things to people..which makes people lagi tak paham dgn apa yg aku cuba sampaikan..nak2 bab giving directions..so i think the problem lies in me..dah le mengarang pun sucks, menerangkan pun sucks...haih...

one more thing, this blog is about "Glory Bites"..technically i should write about 'her' [yeah, GB is a girl ;-]..eventhough "Glory Bites" and me are the same "person" but we are different entity..see..penyakit dah datang dahhhh..korang paham tak apa yg cuba nak disampaikan ni? kiranya takkan nak cerita pasal diri sendiri plak kan dlm GB?

In chicsinred, dia ni mmg otai dlm blogging..blog dia pun best..she is also really into baking..and she attached her online bisnes called Keiki Kookies inside her blog..so its a 2 separate pages..hal bisnes in different page, hal blog in the other page..mmg teratur and senang nak manage dua2..layout cantik, blog pun selalu update...idok le mcm blog GB ni, 3 bulan sekali baru update..hoh! sunggohla dilemma..nak mcm tu, tp tak reti buat..ekinnn..please help... :-(

anyway, its ok..take things one at a time..akn diusahakan utk manage hal2 ni nanti..dont worry..

last weekend ada pot luck kat my apartment..anjuran persatuan penduduk..walaupun aku ni bukan la jenis yg suka sgt bercampur dgn org, tp sesudah disound berdas-das oleh ma'am besar rumah.."hidup ni kena la bermasyarakat..nnti kalau kita perlu bantuan, at least ada org nak tolong kita..bla..bla..bla.." makanya kami anak beranak pun join la pot luck tu..i baked about 30 pcs of blueberry cheese as our contribution..sambil-sambil tu, blh juge promosi GB..2-in-1 la ni..tgk2, terus dapat order.. :-) Alhamdulillah..

GB has yet to come up with new products..sbb nye, Tartlets and Rich Choc Cake orders is really a hit since we published online (blog and FB)...i don't have the luxury to try out different things for now but i promise, i will do so soon..promise!!!

New Year 2011

It is now 2011.. Oh my, how time flies.. 2010 passed so fast till i barely 'feel' it.. a lot of things happened in 2010..good things as well as bad things..ye lah, kalau hidup ni Allah tak bg dugaan, karang kita ni naik lemak pulak kan...papehal pun, setiap apa yang berlaku ada hikmah disebaliknya...mudah-mudahan 2011 would be a better year for me and seluruh muslimin dan muslimat seluruh dunia..amin..

As previous years, we have rituals of our own in celebrating new year..which is stay at home on the new year's eve and watch fireworks from the balcony..then the following day will be spent watching TV..sunggoh la takda life ye?eh, tapi itu la yg paling selamat..sejak dua tiga tahun lepas, cuba la baca newspaper or tgk berita what happened on new year's eve..fatal accidents due to DUI, road bully, rompak, rogol, bunuh..
i dont know why on the new year's eve manusia naik ganas and start doin all those stupid things..hormon kah?
therefore, it is best to stay at home..Naz lagi best, she had to work on new year's eve..and on the new year itself she spent the whole day sleeping..nice..at least i know my partner is safe and sound.. :-)

we have a lot in store for Glory Bites..everything has been planned out..and we are sticking to the plan so far..hopefully it will materialize when the time comes..for instance, the layout of this blog has been finalized... our products have been professionally photographed and edited (thank you Mr. Tang Lee Hong! We are ever grateful to you)..once we put on the watermark, all pictures will be uploaded..baru la semangat sikit nak bekerja kan..

Naz will be in charged of taking care and beautify this blog from time to time..she is really good at it!

And as for me, i will be in charged of the product..any free time will be used to bake new ones and get them tasted by my lovely-yet-honest testers..ooh, my testers sangat lah reliable..based on my experience, if i get thumbs up from all of them, confirm it will be Glory Bites's best-sellers.. :-) we will keep you guys posted..

Till then..
