HAPPY BIRTHDAY KA! (3rd Nov 2000@915pm@PusrawiKL)

My son, KA, turned 8 yesterday. Since it falls on a weekday, husband was very busy with back to back meetings and the boys were having their 1st semester exams,

"kita order pizza aja dah lah malam nanti, nanti weekend baru kita gi makan luar ya!", husband told me.

"okay boss", i said.


Although a pizza was not a bad idea, i have always associated birthdays with cakes. And it got me thinking, yang busynya dah tentu-lah diorang kan?. Tapi mama kat rumah ni? After struggling a couple of hours in the kitchen, maka terhasillah;



A chocolate cake. Just in case KA insisted on a cake. This is Bibik's recipe.
Not as moist as expected but still okay according to my taste buds.



Medium-sized cupcakes from balance of the cake mixture.
Manalah tau si kecik terbau keharuman yang agak luar biasa dari dapur.
Takkan nak cakap it came from the neighbors pulak kan?
Kok yo pun nak menipu!



And nasi tomato for lunch.
Ingat nak buat dalca tapi tak cukup bahan-lah pulak!


I asked KS and KT to pass some cupcakes and nasi tomato to NND (neighbor next door) and guess what we received in return after 20 minutes??


A big fat Papa John's Pizza!!
(Rupa2nya KT sempat canang kat NND that it was KA birthday, bertuah betul)


And do you really wanna see how i decorated KA's birthday cake that evening? Hey tak sangka ada bakat seni jugak dak-wan nih ehhh. Amatur sesangat-lah tapinya!


Step 1: I printed his name on a paper and placed the cut-outs on the cake.



Step 2: Sift powdered sugar on the entire cake


OH! i must give some credit to KT for her assistance.
And kindly ignore the kitchen mess. Huhu.


Step 3: Gently remove the paper cut-outs from the cake
and make a border out of halved kiwi fruits.


Step 4: The cake looked kinda dull in the beginning.
So i placed some ripe strawberry on the cake to add some color.



Step 5: Some leftover skittles to enhance the deco.


Step 6: Finally, small candles.
One birthday cake for KA coming thru...


And at around 915pm on 3rd Nov 2008;

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to Angah
Happy Birthday to you.



Aikk.. apesal tuh?? The little chef menangis sepenuh jiwa
dan raga sebab nak jugak tiup lilin!!
Didnt i tell you about her obsession towards birthday cakes?



Okay takpa, kita nyanyi lagi sekali.
Happy Birthday to youuu,
Happy Birthday to KT
Happy Bithdayyyy to youuuu!


Sapa punya birthday sebenarnya nih?
My precious...


Happy Birthday KA!
Mama loves you soooo much. Dont grow up so fast, okay?
