Yummy looking desserts

Its one of the latest trend in Japan where they deco their gadgets with sweet yummy looking desserts!! It's called decotti. Here are some yummilicious decos I found from dolce deco's website!!







Look super duper yummy right???? I also want!!!!! =D


SO,



I decided to turn my garmin into some yummeh dessert!! =D



This is my garmin previously!! I simply did it cause I needed to use it the next day I got my garmin and I didn't have much blings with me so these were all the random left over. I just come out with this design with whatever I have cause I didn't wanna use an ugly looking black garmin the next day.... =P I know my design is kinda ugly too but still nicer than boring black la....

Anyway,

I started looking for cabochons desserts to deco my garmin and found this online website from Singapore called Sophie & Toffee and ordered away!!


My orders arrived after more than a week! A bit slow but what to do I dunno where to buy these stuff in KL!! But I think now there are a few online shops that sells those cabochons but of course the choices are not as great as sophie & toffee and I have yet to find one that sells the whipped cream!


The instructions look easy but then it's quite difficult to squeeze the whipped cream out!!


These are all the cabochons that I've ordered. Some are nice, some are way to big I don't know what to do with it and some are not as nice as I've expected but all in all still quite happy!! At least now I know what to buy next time!


I actually gotten all these stuff more than a month ago but only got around to doing it this weekend =D

and



TADAH!!!!!!!!!!!!



My sweet yummy garmin dessert!!!!!!!

It only took me 5 minutes to plan (but many hours to research and see what others have done to get an idea of what I wanna do la and also you tube to see how people did it.) One tip is that use blue tack to plan and stick on it as if the blue tack is the whipped cream. After deciding what I wanna do, it just took me bout 5 minutes to practice piping the whipped cream on some papers and then 15 minutes for me to assemble the whole thing! So this is not very time consuming unlike when I spent bout 5-6 hours to decoden my blackberry aka Pinky Blingberry

I'm quite happy with the outcome.... but now I don't know how to keep it cause the casing that I have can't fit anymore!!! =((((( Need to find a new casing..... and these whipped cream.... although its air dried I dunno how can I protect it cause I think it will kinda melt if its in contact with water.... but then again my garmin also cannot be in contact with water la (its electronics ma!!) but I am still a decotti noob and don't know what I should do..... And I think my piping skills is kinda bad cause my whipped cream is like blobs of cream and not nicely piped.... so I still need to master that.... and also cause its reaaaally difficult to squeeze it out!! I don't know if its too dry or what!!


Anyway, here are more close up photos =D
I love it but need to figure out how to maintain it!!







On a non related note, I did up my nails for Regi's Hens Night
Dolly wink inspired nails =) Love it!

As usual... this aunty was soooo excited when one of the games was to make a penis from polymer clay! Before the game even started, this aunty already start making.... tsk tsk tsk.... but too bad regi didn't like aunty's creation!! so the other group won!

I Baked! - Oreo Cupcakes

Finally!!! I can bake again!!! =D Feels soooooo good!! *hehe* Its been a loooooong time......


Anyway I baked Oreo cupcakes!! I didn't want it to be too sweet and hence I put less sugar but seems like I put a bit too little cause my cupcakes wasn't sweet at all!! But then, when eaten with the Swiss Meringue Butter Cream on top, I think it’s just nice =D Not too sweet =D I loveyyyyyyy the chocolate swiss meringue butter cream!! YUMZ!!!! (Of course la cause I use Hershey's Cooking chocolate and also dark chocolate bought by my sis from London!! *kaka* its soooo yummy and cause cooking chocolate has no sugar and dark chocolate is not very sweet and hence the cream is just nice =D YUMZ YUMZ...... cause when you make the meringue, you have to add sugar already and if the chocolates are also very sweet then it will be too sweet but this one is just nice =D

As for the cake, I think it is a bit too flour-y. I haven't seen a cake that uses sooo much flour!!! I think, if the cake is eaten just on its own it tasted a bit flour-y but with the swiss meringue buttercream I think its ok!! Not perfecto but still yummy enough =D



Here are the ingredients - Eh I use Australian Butter k!! *hehe* but not sure if Oreo is also affected!!



Rise rise rise!!!






Yummy looking Oreo cupcakes =D












Here are the pretty pretty cupcakes!! =P I miss decorating cupcakes!! The best part of making cupcakes!!






Paking it to bring to work for my colleagues! =D

HHHmmm.... anyway....... here are some photos from a few meet ups that I had with my friends =D



Met up with Luwern & HF @ Alexis!! I haven't seen Luwern for about 2 years!!!!! She's my college mate and Me, Luwern, Lier & Rinnie was my gang during college days!!! We always go for breakfast together during our break time in between classes at Peppercorn (this cosy place that serves english big breakfast) until the owner of the shops also remembers us!! I used to call Luwern Moana cause she likes to moan just about everything and Lier is Meana cause she is just so mean!! But in a funny kinda way!! Luwern calls Lier Fastmore cause she always finishes her home work in class and is very fast in everything!! and I am Slowmore cause I do everything very slowly!! Rinnie is No More casue she left half way to take up a different course. After Rinnie left, HF joined our gang!! And me & HF also went to Bristol together studying the same course!! But Lier is in USA now and Luwern is in UK. I can't remember when was the last time all 4 of us met up!! Probably was in 2005 when we went to Bangkok together to meet HF!! Anyway it was really good catching up with Luwern!!















Luwern, HF & I




Then had a farewell dinner with Calvin!! He is leaving to Singapore for work!! I know him through Val (as they were colleagues) but he is also Thomas's school friend! He then became my partner in badminton and comes pick me for badminton every Sunday!! Whenever I partner him, I always win!! Kaka Cause he will be chasing after the shuttle left and right behind me while I just try to avoid the shuttle from hitting me in front!! *haha* Anyway after I started going out with honeydrew, we just drifted apart but we still meet up occasionally for dinners, pool and clubbing in a group together with val, yu lin and jolyn.


Yulin & Calvin - we had dinner at this new found place!! Really good dishes!! We were supposed to go somewhere else, but then the restaurant was closed and we passed by this restaurant and it was crowded, so we just thought of trying this place and it turned out to be a really good place!! Its somewhere near Pearl Point at Old Klang Road!! The special prawns, spare ribs and asam fish were extremely good!!!!!



After that, we went for pool at After Hours @ Solaris, KL Soho - I lovey this pool place cause it’s bright and not as crowded or smoky as Breakers!! Our new fav pool place! Plus, their strawberry milkshake is delicious!!!!!!! =D


Me, Jo & Calvin



Me, YL & Val



All in Black!! Me, Calvin & Val
