I discovered my talent! For so many years, my mum always asked me and I have wondered... if I don't teach, what will I do? I never had the answer... cos since like primary school, I've always wanted to be a teacher. (Actually changed to vet once... but immediately objected by my mum)
But I've found the answer! I can bake and sell cakes! There're so many people making a fortune selling cakes online... Maybe I could be one too... Anyway, I've been making cheesecakes... chilled ones actually... but I'm proud to say, people who have eaten it keep asking for more. Then some time ago I bought this cupcake recipe book by impulse... So I've been wanting to make some. Therefore this weekend, cos my relatives coming to eat popiah at my place, I decided to bake some cupcakes.
Orange Almond Cupcakes:
My mum and cousins were my guinea pigs. My mum ate it on Friday, the night I made it, and my cousins on Saturday when they came to play Mahjong... I overbaked it a little cos I was talking to my mum... Cupcakes were a little too dry... but smells and tastes good!
Chocolate Raisin Cupcakes:
I made these the following night... at 10.30 pm, cos my cousins came to play mahjong until about 9pm. This didn't come from the recipe book. I just put in some raisins, cocoa powder sprinkled some almond flakes on top, and TADA! Oh these are nice... soft and springy... Success!
Ok this is the unsuccessful one... I tried to make a Pandan cake with a recipe found on the newspaper, cos my mum likes pandan cake... but it didn't rise enough, then the centre cracked open... Dunno what's wrong... I'm bad at troubleshooting such things... Anyway, my whole family still say it tastes nice... but I think that its texture is a bit funny...
