Teddy Cupcake

Sunday Night..

TC will have their “Teddy Bear Class Picnic” tomorrow morning, and we will provide cupcakes πŸ™‚ what else? I made the theme with Tiny Teddy and a banner “TA 24 Teddy bear Picnic” and decorated with some sugar candied. We think its cute and very easy to make, I have baked 25 cupcakes for TC’s class picnic and 10 for us, undecorated.

I decorated 3 cupcakes for my husband though haha.. its “Teddy and Heart Cupcake”. Its so cute for valentine which we don’t bloody celebrate hehehe.. I do celebrate everything πŸ˜€ as long as makes me happy.. after all I am a women πŸ™‚

I do celebrate all kind of crap anyway eg: First month wedding anniversary or whatever I want to call it haha… (see what Stu have to put up with???) “A very thoughtful wife”. πŸ™‚


…Cupcake for my sayang… for Happy Monday Morning

On Saturday dinner,

I especially made this dish”Ayam Bakar Bumbu Rujak” (its time consuming but worth it, Its Grilled Chicken but been cooked with some spices until tender before you grilled it, I made some for my self,my husband and my twin boys.


Stu said: ENAKKKK BANGEDDD!!! hahaha

Due to my step kids don’t eat chilli, I marinated some chicken especially for them, well actually they grilled chicken way to easy to make, they loved it too. πŸ™‚ I decorated the plate with vegetables for them hahaha to encourage them to eat more vegetables, and Jamie ate all his dinner.. Emily only eat the lettuce and the beans,Tom ate all his dinner as well and Cameron ate his dinner too with extra tofu..and ABC sauce (its sweet soy sauce) πŸ™‚ he is so Indo.


Jamie and Emily “Grilled Chicken” with lettuce,tomato and steamed beans.

Our Favourite Dish of the week:

Spaghetti with Anchovy and Rocket salad yup..I made this pasta again.. coz its taste soooooooo good.. I can eat this dish 2 times a week maybe.. its just so quick,healty and easy to make, the anchovy taste so saltyyy.. and the chilli taste so good and with bit of lemon and topped of parmesan cheese and extra virgin oil..gosh.. delicious.. in fact my mouth watering while I’m writing this πŸ˜€


My favourite stir fried spaghetti by Jamie Oliver


No matter how much they don’t like each other or annoys each others sometimes, they always company each other and protect each other some nights when they have nightmares, usually Tom end-up in Cam’s bed, even though Cam’s the one who have a nightmare πŸ™‚
Love you both lots
xx Mum.

Last night I made 2 pasta dishes, Fettucini Carbonara with Chicken,Bacon and Ham and Penne with Spicy Tuna (I mean really really spicy) πŸ™‚ .

I made this carbonarra before,but the photograph did not turn as good as this one πŸ™‚ so I am happy with the result.

Oh the weather been so good lately.. I have been gardening with TC on the weekend, we pulled out some weeds together and also we went out to the shop spending on craps. πŸ™‚ I love my Twinny.. (sometimes I still call them ba as “bubba” haha) πŸ™‚ I just like to call them ba ,and for them ba means “them” so when I need one of them (doesn’t matter who) so all I have to say “Ba” and one of them will come hahaha.. and yeah when I need someone turn the heater off, “can u turn the heater off ba?” and one of them will haha πŸ˜€

Rambut gue harus di bonding lagi nih, bagian yg kmrn di bonding masih teteb lurus bagus, yang bagian akar ke bawah sejengkal duh jgn di tanya deh dah dangdut bgt.. mo bonding disini mahal nya bo… mending ntr tanggung ke indo ajah de, tapi kapannnnn pula ke indonya? hehe.. maunya sih soon.. bareng si Twins.

Emang sih Stu n aku dah rencana mo ke indo tapi maybe tahun depan.. sekalian ke singapur ama KL (mau nya siy) pas di sing mo ajak Vika ama Tala.. duh enak kali ya kita tamasya ke sing? Vika sih ajakin date ke Bali tapi kyknya gue pingin ke sing ajah deh.. well liat sikon juga deh kalo dah duit lebih mungkin kalo enggak ya terpaksa tamasya di backyard ajah.

Masakan Seminggu

Nga terasa udah mo wiken lagi, cepet banget waktu berlalu, anehnya kalo kita nga ada hajatan rasanya cepet banget deh jalannya ni waktu ,giliran kita ada hajatan lamaaaaaaaaaa bgt jalannya seperti menunggu 8 bulan menjelang pernikahan gue n Stu kemaren itu.. buset tuh 8 bulan jalan seperti siput.. tapi akhirnya nikah juga siy.

Bulan depan di ajak Ari ke pesta Galungan-hari raya org Bali di Jandakoot ya Ri? pingin juga sih dateng, sekalian sosialisasi gitu, mumpung ada yg gue kenal also ntr ktnya ada tari2 Bali nya juga plus makan2, satu famiy bayar 15 dol (kalo kita ber 6 teteb nga tuh Ri 15 dol? hahah? ) gile kalo familynya 10 org gimana tuh? hahaha πŸ˜€

I have been cooking all week.. proper food, with free range eggs hahah.. (Influences by Mr.Oliver di TV abis kata doi beli free range ajah soalnya better for your health walopun harga bisa 3 kali lipat bo!!) tapi emangggg sih rasanya beda plus warnanya kuning telornya juga beda, mungkin kalo ayam free range lebih hepi bisa joget2 makanya itupun kenapa kalo bikin kue harus hepi kaya ayam free range biar kuenya kaga bantet hahahah.. (damn u bolu kukus.. I was happy when gue bikin bolu kukus tapi kenapa pula bolkus gue pada bantet?? kata gossip2 internet org2 suka kena kutukan bolu kukus) well kata Stu dasar org indo percaya bgt ama gitu2an hahaha..

Anyway.. iya nih dari hari senin kemaren ampe hari ini gue masak terus.. walopun kita disini masak palinggg banter plus rajin ya 2-3 dishes a day but 1 dish a day ajah mnrt gue dah bagus deh not only save money on freakin junk foods but also home made food always taste better and healtier. (I think everyone agreed..:) )

Some dishes I have made just usual like Spicy Tuna, Indonesian Teriyaki Chicken,*new* Aromatic Beef with almond flakes,Nasi Goreng,Cottage Pie,Chicken satay. Also I made some Profiteroles with custard, Apple Cinnamon Muffins,*new* Chai Green Tea Latte for this week desserts.


Sprinkle with tossed almond flakes,vietnamese mint and coriander leaves.


Dust the muffin with vanilla sugar (beli udah jadi di woolish) hm hm.. tambah deh enak.. makan anget2 ama minum kopi or teh.

I enjoy being a house wife at the moment πŸ™‚ even though I am addicted to some TV series hahaha.. but I looking after husband and the twins very well :).

Oh speaking of the twins,kadang kalo liat2 mereka gue pikir duh anak2 gue dah gede bgt ya.. udah mo 8 tahun, nggak terasa aja 8 thn yg lalu gue sibuknya ampe mati2an.. dari pagi sampe malem nga abis2nya.. tapi sekarang seperti melihat pohon yg kita tumbuh jadi gede hahaha trus bagus lagi enak ajah liatnya apalagi mereka cowo gitu…mikir ntr kalo gede pas teenager moga2 nga nakal deh.. (amin) trus mikir ntr dah gede masih mau nga ya gue peluk2 hahaha makanya setiap hari gue peluk2in deh gue liatin abis kadang kangen juga ama waktu2 mereka kecil, lucunya kalo mereka lagi main bedua ya ampunn.. ni anak siapa ya.. kok cakep2?? hahahha

*gue akhir2 ini mimpi tentang seseorang di jaman SMA aneh juga kenapa gue mimpiin dia ya walopun mimpinya nga ber inti jadi nga ada critanya gitu cuma dalam mimpi ada dia ajah and kita ngobrol2, aneh padahal gue udah nga kontak2 dia lagi*

-Afternoon-

Chai Latte is spiced tea mixed with milk that’s steamed from a coffee machine. Its one of my sister and I favourite drink during our Gangan Time πŸ˜€

The story behind the chai latte:
One day Put got home and made her hot drink, I looked at it and I said “euww.. what is that?” smell weird but sweet,she let me tried it and hm… taste so good! then I found out home made chai is so easy to make and taste so fresh than the packet ones.

This is so gooddd.. better than we normally drink ka’! -putri-

My Pompom Cupcakes

These cupcakes are not just about looks. My cupcakes are aesthetically pleasing but itÒ€ℒs more than that. I only use quality ingredients. Real butter and real chocolate make a big difference to the taste.

My aim with these cupcakes was to create something a little more practical after my Easter bunnies cupcakes, which were very cute but used some unconventional candies in the decoration.
