My 1ST order in 2009,

Im happy I could make cakes.
Before I live in Panama,I was only the faithful cake eater,easyly get yum cakes everywhere, but here in Colon,Panama, its very difficult to find a nice cake.
Thanks to internet, to all blogger,especially from almarhumah Bunda Inong,and NCC, I gain alot of knowledge in baking, and now I have another group ,KBB,which is from this group I get another chalenge to conquer a complicated baking world..
Well, Im still a learner, but at least I am proud to myself,I could make nice cakes for me,my family and other people.
Who´s gonna think I could make a cake and cook??? Hayaaaa even my family and friends are surprised bout this..

This cute cake is my 1st order in 2009. Dont look at how much money I get,but the satisfaction after I finished decorated this cake,and after my client happy with the cake. The excitement is a bless.
I could only do with simple butter cream.Planning to learn making rose and the basketwave soon, hopefully as sometimes this mood is up and down......

Choco sour cream muffin

Its my 1st posting in 2009.I wanna share my 3 things which is accompany me everyday..
1. Laptop, I dont need to explain bout it, do I?
2. Green tea, is a must liquid I should take,usually around 4pm and after I eat too much, and feel too oily, then another portion of green tea.
3. And sweets whether its cakes,sweet bread,chocolate wafer,muffin,pie..and so on (candy doesnt include,as I dont like candy)

And for today sweets,I chose Choco Sour Cream Muffin from Kedai Hamburg,as I have left over sour cream which is +/-the quantity is 200gram.




This muffin is soft, not like a muffin texture, but I felt something is missing. I guess putting Chocolate chips,or jimmies,gonna be perfect. I omit the mocca pasta as I dont have,and drops a simple glazing of icing sugar mix with cinnamon to give a sweetness sensation for the 1st bite.

Pastel de platano y miel ( Plantain and HOney Cake)

A friend gave me this book as a bday gift on last August, and this recipe title caught my eyes. I imagine plantain ( pisang tanduk) and honey together for a cake?
A very interesting one to try, but unfortunatelly as browsing,and another drooling pictures from bloggers more intense, I have to postpone to bake this one, until last Sunday I bought 2 plantains,my plan was to fry them, but on Monday morning, this recipe came to mind and here is the result...




I feel this cake is not too cakey and getting softer everyday,but still making crumbs, my suggestion is if u want to try this recipe, its better to use the very ripe plantain,as mine was ripe but not overripe,so u cant really enjoy the flavour of plantain.
