Hello Kitty CupCake

A two dozens of 3 0z. chocolate cupcake with butter cream frosting and pink small dragees and a whole body hello kitty on top  in a red foil cupcake liner.

Hello Kitty Topper is available at Chocolate Lover Philippines.  I don't have any time to make this topper that's why I always bought a ready made.  Dragees is given by my Best Friend from Australia, I loved very much the dragees simply because it is not easily melt regardless of how many days you sprinkle it in the cupcake unlike the ordinary sprinkle, only an overnight it melt so fast, like the Reunion Cake I made.

A friend of my sister ask me a favor to bake a cupcake for his daughter turns seven years old. Not business as usual :-)...hahahahah!....... In return for the favor and disturbing him for a scheduled check up of my brother, and he always escorting my brother in the hospital, I decided to bake as a gift to his daughter but he provided the hello kitty topper.  Luckily, his daughter loved the hello kitty cupcake.

         Image taken at Enchanted Kingdom, Philippines, one of the most memorable celebration of my daughter,  Ellyza's 6th Birthday. I saw this building, immediately pull my husband to take a picture for souvenir. Honestly, in relation to baking, cakes, cupcakes and anything made of flour and oven, I feel addicted to take a picture and to post here in my blog.  Some friends telling me that "basta cake, your favorite,"  and my answer is, "yes of course," because, I'm addicted to the designs of  the cake and recipe's how to prepare all of them... and I am eager to do it at my own risk, mistakes and to discover how can I bake or make it perfect when it done unsuccessful......... That's why I am always longing to the cakes.

Ingredients

BASIC INGREDIENTS IN BAKING AND ITS FUNCTIONS

         

 1. FLOUR  -        The major ingredient in making bread.

-        It provides the structural framework of the bread because it contains gluten which gives the bread strength to keep its shape when baked.

KINDS OF FLOUR

a.     Cake Flour – weak flour and

  Gluten – elasticity, strength

b.     All Purpose Flour – gluten content to make bread

c.      Pastry Flour

2. SUGARS                    -        add sweetness and flavor and give crust color

 3.  COCOA POWDER  -     An unsweetened powder produced by grinding cacao beans and pressing out the cocoa butter (fat). This powder gives an intense chocolate taste to baked goods. It is commonly available in “Dutch-processed” (alkalized) or natural varieties. The alkalized version is lighter in color and has a less assertive chocolate taste. 

Without this I can't bake anything.....as of now I don't have this at home because out of my budget I can not buy any ingredients.......sad to say, almost two months without baking.......  :-(

Pan De Amerikana

Pandesal

 

Without my Creation in Baking BUT I created moments and loved with my daughter. In celebration of  her fast recovery from tonsillitis (Thank GOD), after visiting her pediatrician we go to PAN DE AMERIKANA, nearby her doctor's clinic.

Pan De Amerikana is located at Gen. Ordoñez St., Marikina City. It is a Bakeshop, later on, it become a restaurant. The ambiance is good, the restaurant is GIANT CHESSBOARD Theme, the menu was all Marikina dishes, but we Ordered Pandesal Sandwhich with Tuna Filling (sorry i don't have a pic, i forgot to take a pic 'coz i am really hungry) just got a pic with their site. Experienced in Bakeshop without my creation.

Ellyza's Cupcake

As usual, when I'm doing something at the kitchen she's always there to make her own and I let her go. Ellyza's cupcake, she's the one who  put  icing on the cupcake and sprinkle but I am the one who add swirl icing, the color pink and blue one because it has an excess icing on my pastry bag instead of just put in the trash I'll put in Ellyza's cupcake.  So sad for now because Ellyza is sick had a cold and flu due to her tonsillitis, we had visit twice with different pediatrician, hoping when we come back on Saturday she's already okay.
