Wake Up and Smell the Cake

Aah. Gloomy weather again. Looks like it's gonna rain soon. The weather forecasts says sleet showers tomorrow. Seriously?? Sleet at the end of March?! That's not possible! Where's spring!! I want my blue sky!! Sadness. Yesterday was a stay at home Sunday, I like. Sweet simple Sunday :) Attempted making kuih tart, while Other Half studied. Yes! Kuih tart in London! The 172 pieces made from home have finished, and Other Half wants more. And since we're moving to a house without an oven (sobsob!!), might as well make it here and now before we move to the new, smaller, place tomorrow. We managed to find pineapple jam at our favourite Sainsbury's, made do with a normal cookie cutter instead of the usual pineapple tart mould, and also I had to modify the pineapple jam. Turned out pretty well :) Not the same, but good enough that Other Half loved it. Yay! Mission accomplished. Maybe I'll post up a foto of the tarts and other London fotos once I'm done editing.

Yup it's that time of the year again! Kuih tart. Or pineapple tarts. Leceh, but sedap. Takes ages to make, but very fast disappear. Sigh. Even Pooh wants some.

Baking again! Haha. This time it's pineapple tarts supposedly for Hari Raya on the 31st, but I think the tarts will all disappear by then. Today my sister helped out! This was actually baked on Wednesday, but I thought I'll just include it here anyway. Today's batch of pineapple tarts! My sister and I made gingerbread men! Macam we celebrate Christmas lydat. Haha! Actually they're not gingerbread lah, it's the short-crust pastry used for the pineapple tarts. Since we didn't have the mould, we cut the dough using the knife instead. Haha. The prettier one's mine! ;p My sister trying to transfer her short-crust man to the tray. She had to try a few times before getting a nicely cut short-crust man. And then! She had difficulty transferring her pastry man to the tray. Hahah. Our finally decorated short-crust men and cat before baking! Only had almond and choc chips lah, so deco was minimal. Didn't have choc rice or those colourful beads Carcar
