weee....!! am so glad it wasn't as bad as i expected...after all the anxiety + anticipation + worried nights + paranoia, 11th of Oct finally came and went =D this very special day is of course my S.O's birthday!! just a few weeks ago i came up with this "ingenious" idea of baking a cake for him instead of buying one since Secret Recipe has been a norm especially during birthdays... but the problem is me getting out of the house and bake one....after consulting shaun and wai hou (cuz they know how to bake, and they bake well!), they agreed to help =) well i ain't gonna elaborate on the whole baking cake session. i guess it is inevitable that there will some minute problems here and there. to sum it all up, those tiny hitches were: - 10th of Oct (the eve of his bday) was made a public holiday. public holiday --> parents at home --> can't sneak out - wai hou sent a last minute messaged saying his dad doesn't allow us to bake the cake at his house. suggested carolyn's house instead. - called carolyn but unfortunately her mum doesn't allow either. suggested abby's place. - called abby. was alright until she said she had to go out and celebrate sio sen's birthday which they had agreed upon earlier on. suggested shaun's crib. - shaun's sister, Kimberly is having her finals now. parents would not want people to disrupt her studying. - finally called Joshua out of sheer desperation. after much pleading and persuasion, i finally got a place! but his mum wasn't so happy about the last-minute-informing. sorry aunty! - wai hou forgotten to pass us the mould. when i finally got it, shaun had to go. and i'm literally a noob in baking cakes. - mum came and insisted that she was in a hurry. had to pack and leave with the cake not evenly spread out yet. - turns out that mum decided to go to the hair salon. had to hold the unfinished cake while desperately thinking of where to get strawberries.- had a rough journey home while holding the unfinished cake when mum decided to take the more bumpier ride home. - finally got back home and struggled to even out the cake. it is harder to smoothen it out now cuz the cake started to set already. - spent the whole night taking the cake out of the fridge, grab a knife and try to smoothen the top again and again. i think i did this every half an hour for the whole night. cuz the top was seriously hideous! *sobs* ah well.. seriously at times i felt so helpless where everything seems to be going wrong... i really thought the plan had to be canceled when i couldn't get a venue plus my mum was very very reluctant to send me there. but ah, it turns out fine all because i have great friends. namely, Joshua, who was kind enough to lend me his kitchen although it was a last minute request. Shaun, who helped to ferry the equipments from wai hou's house, and of course, teaching me to bake! Wai hou, who patiently endure all my fussiness and paranoia. He kept calling to make sure everything is alright. With that said, i proudly present to you, Lemon Chilled Cheese Cake:  haha told you it was a mess... gawd i was so worried and i doubted so much before letting him see the cake. haha! sorry la, first time baking. plus with all the nervous breakdowns here and there, er i guess this is the best i can do for now =p + amry @ 6:29 PM |
