Salam, Kia Ora.....


Last night, before I went off to bed....I was thinking if I should bake a cake or just make some donuts for today.  Auntie Eton whom migrated here 32 yrs ago, is very close to us and she is celebrating her 52nd birthday today.  She loves sugar donuts that's why I thought of  making some donuts for her today.

This morning while making the donuts, I thought to myself that maybe I should bake her a cake since its her birthday.  Auntie Eton is very health conscious....unlike me hahahaz.  Being a good cook and baker herself, she will never make a cake that calls for more than 3 eggs.  And she doesn't like chocolate......Hmmmzzz......so I thought this impromtu cake will be perfect for her.  I didn't tell her that I used 5 eggs thou :pppppp nyehahahahaz *evil laughter*  sssshhhh.  At the same time, I wont have any trouble transporting the cake as I don't have to worry abt smudging the cream or ganache.  

 Dropped the donuts and cake to Aunty Eton's house on my way home, after I finished my grocery shopping.  I didn't stay long as it was abt 3pm when I reached her place.  I need to make my way home.  Jannah was whinging bcos she was getting tired.  The journey home took us 50 mins and Jannah fell asleep in the car.

I didn't get to taste the cake or even see the texture of the cake, only free smell of condensed milk wafting frm the oven....yuuummmzzz.  You can take a peek of the yummilicious cake texture at Rima's (Baking Queen) or Yat's (Queen of Jlo) blog.
