Bread, muffin or cake?

For the past weeks, I have been doing so much of baking until i have lost track of what i have been baking. Tried the 'pak tong ko' since it is my auntie's favourite. Thought that i will surprise her before she came from KK for the week. Anyway, first try, turn out ok.. the taste is there but no honeycomb!!! *sigh* Asked my online help, yozoranitesky. My second attempt turned out better, now lotsa honeycomb but a bit hard in the middle..not sure why. So auntie didn't look very satisfied...hehehe..but still it was also gone by the following day!! So i guess it is not that bad..

Then there was carrot cake, apple cake and yesterday, assorted buns. Thumbs up for apple cake from mom and the big bunny. He finished nearly half the cake in just one eating. Nowadays, lil bunny is not so eager in mummy's experiment anymore. He will pop by in the kitchen and say 'I stir?' or 'cake ready?' but a bit skeptical on trying them, unless he got no choice when the mummy feeds him!!

Anyway, bake some buns too and surprisingly it came out soft and fluffy. Taste good but outlook...hehehe..i don't even dare to take photo of them. Maybe next time!! Was trying to be more adventurous by following the shaping of buns published in some of the websites. Some came out looking ok..but the sausage bun looked eeeee.... Anyway, mom took the tuna bun and commented..'please don't change recipe ah...this one very nice already'. Wah..nearly fell off the chair. And she says she will cook curry chicken the next time so that i can make curry chicken bun!! So this bun recipe is definately a keeper.

Enough about baking....Anyway, spend last weekend at the library. Zach has been bugging me to bring him there these few weeks but as usual, the weekends have always been busy and without realizing, it is always Monday again. So i told myself, i must bring him this time. Pop by the library at 9:30am..wah still not open...opening hour is from 11am - 7pm. Ended up jalan-jalan at the shopping mall. Went again in the evening. Got him registered for RM2 and paid another RM2 for annual fee and he gets to borrow 6 books for 2 weeks. What a bargain!!! Now no need to buy him books anymore..hehehe..instead can buy more recipe books!

You mean it is not danish pastry?

Another baking day on Sunday. This time, thought i will try the Cinnamon Roll Recipe from my breadmaker recipe book. Now that i bake pretty often, grandma is into baking as well. She will ask me "What are we doing today". So i told her that instead of just the normal loaf, i will try Cinnamon Roll. Explained to her a bit and we both waited for the dough to be ready.

She can't wait to roll the dough actually....haha. She did most of the stuff actually. After cutting the roll and instead of putting them in rows onto a greased baking tin, we decided to put them onto the normal baking tray, leaving some gap in between for them to rise..First mistake! They doubled up but side ways too! Anyway, continue to bake them until golden brown...a bit too brown thus end up a bit dry actually.

Well, took them out...and hmmmm not bad..taste okay, just a bit hard.

Next day, my hubby asked "anymore of those danish pastry?" i replied "what danish pastry"?

Hmm....danish pastry it is then! Don't know whether to be disappointed or smile!
