fasting days.

It's the beginning of August and we are welcoming the holy Ramadhan month, where we should fast from dusk until dawn. So as you can see, there isn't much that we can do while we're fasting. So i... as usual.. am keeping myself busy by learning how to decorate my cupcakes. I made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, the medium ones and the mini ones. Those are for family break-fasting event this evening. Yesterday i also try to make brownies, but it doesn't taste like the real brownie, hehe.

Couple days ago, i bought the basic fondant for cake decorating. And now that i've found gel food coloring, i decided to learn how to decorate the cupcakes with fondant. It's a messy job, really, because basically fondant is made from sugar and water. So if it's get sticky, you have to add icing sugar to the dough. Trust me, you will smell like sugar while you're doing this. Ekhhh..


This is the chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

Mini ones.

My sister was trying to help to decorate the cupcakes. Not bad, eh?

Aha! Chocolate cupcake with fondant and mint butter cream frosting.
Voila! Maybe next year i'll be opening my cupcake store. LOL!
