My Sister's Jacket !

08 June 2008

At long last, I can finally join the parts together and finish off the jacket that I really owe my sister! After re-doing this many, many times, the lady at the shop (who's teaching me how to crochet as well) gave me the ok and I can now proceed to join the various pieces together. Just a little while more my dear sister and you shall have your creamy white crochet jacket !!

A Stole for A Friend

04 June 2008

Finally it is done! I have managed to rush this Stole in time for a friend who will be leaving for Shanghai to work there. Didn't use really thick yarn so that it is lighter and easier for her to carry around. Made it in black so that it would be easier to match whatever attire she'd be wearing !

I just hope that she'll like it !

Cookies & Chocolate

05 June 2008


Today is our final class in Pastries and Cookies. For that we'll have another 'relaxing' day and just bake cookies !


There was one recipe which required us to refrigerate the cookie though before we cut it up for baking ! That was the Chocolate Almond Cookie (Fridge Box Cookie)



The dough is put onto a layer of plastic sheet and then into a rectangular shaped tray before being refrigerated.



It is then sliced into this size and baked.

The other 3 types of cookies were : Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies, Chocolate Biscuit and Viennese Cookie. The Viennese Cookie was not spared from being 'chocolated' too 'coz we laced it with chocolate sauce after it was baked.

Tarts & Scones

03 June 2008

Yummy Pineapple Tarts !! We learnt how to make these today and since this was quite a 'relaxing' day we played around with the dough ! Came up with funny shapes for our pineapple tarts - volcanoes erupting, the KL Tower, ...

Also learnt how to make Egg Tarts (not the flaky type) and Coconut Tarts. Having so much fun with the tarts, we nearly forgot that we had to make Scones too!! We even washed all our utensils already ! Pineapple Tarts (in funny shapes) fresh from the oven !

Pies, Pasties & Quiches

31 May 2008

After a week long holiday, we had our lessons again on Saturday. We made pies today ! Chicken Pie, Cornish Pasties and a Quiche Lorraine (the mini version). Again, I found that it was not that difficult to do after all. Only thing is I will need to cook the filling before I get to make the pies. After I buy my ingredients, I may just try to make some.
