seafood baked rice!!

on sunday, i decided to bake cake!! yessss!! hardworking me had already went to the library the day before to prepare my recipe. and i decided to bake rum and raisins choc brownie, but without the rum and the raisins! HAHA

this is a self taken shot by my zi lian bro. asked him to help take a pic of jun and me with the ingredients and this is what turned out.

us with the ingredients!!

and the ingredients!!

i realised i did not have enough baking choc! so i used some white choc to make up for it! ahhaa

initially i wantd to bake the cake myself, but bro and sis seemed like they wanted to join in the fun too haha of cos i wouldnt mind their help!!

this mixture is REAL FATTY i swear. i put in one whole chunk of butter and the whole baking choc and some white choc! who dares to drink this? hhahaa

my grandma came over to my house that day! and thats even better, cos i can let her try too!!:)

ok this is the recipe that im following!!

finally putting the first batch to the oven!!

toodles! this is the first batch! the recipe stated that i have to pour in white choc drizzles on the cake to make swirling patterns on it. the recipe stated that i have to melt the white choc in a water bath. but my white choc couldnt really melt, it kind of cogulates and cant drizzle! so in a frantic attempt i decided to spread the white choc on it. and it turned out like that...TOO HARD to even spread!! ahhahah but den, the cake tasted naise!!! my bro was too excited to try the cake that he took it and try even before i took a pic of my masterpiece! so i told him to place the cake back and that is why the cake is like that.

this is the white choc that i mentioned. this is the first time i tried melting choc in a water bath so i wasnt really sure if it is the correct mtd. my cousin who came over that day told me that the white choc cogulated cos the water jumped into the white choc and hence it hardened. urghhh and i threw the whole cup of white choc away! so wasted!!:(

ok this is the second batch of cake. this time round, i decided to pour in more mixyure into the baking tin cos i think the first batch is too short already and it didnt rise as much as i think it would. everything is carried out as per normal, i used the same baking time. but when i flipped the cake and placed it on the plate, this is what greeted me! THE CAKE IS STILL NOT BAKED IN THE CENTER!! omg..so i flipped it back again and bake for another 30 min.

this is the first batch too! baked 2 diff shapes and this is a heart shaped one!

if i follow the recipe, the white choc is supposed to be drizzled on top of the cake. but cos the white choc failed, my sis suggested icing sugar. i think she suggested that cos she wanted to try the icing sugar herself LOL. initally, i wanted to drizzle the icing sugar into the words "i love u". but its so hard! it turns out to be alien language instead. and so, i decided to smear it up and spread it evenly. lol

and...i decided to place some orange slices and blueberries on top of it to beautify it..cos the icing sugar does not look that nice right! lol and ta-da! cheers to my creativity!:D

nice right nice right!:):)

this is the 2nd batch of brownie! rmb that i mentioned i placed it back into the oven cos it wasnt fully baked the first time it came out? after another 30 min, IT IS STILL NOT VERY BAKED. man..i decided to slice the top part that is already baked and bake the lower part again. lol i thought of joing up the 2 parts ltr when the bottom is baked. but the bottom part turned out to be very hard and i cant seem to seperate it out from the baking tin properly! in the end, the cake is eaten with only half of its initial height! ahhahah! but still, tastes nice in my opinion!:D

the icing sugar is too light cos i added in too much water le!!

im so gonna try cheesecake next time round!!!:)
