Sweet edible ‘insects’

As usual, Sunday is my ‘bringing the cake’ day so kalau I nak bawak cake or cuppies, I will bake them on Saturday night. Kalau I bawak muffins, I will bake them early on Sunday morning. Muffins are much nicer fresh out of the oven while cuppies and cakes you can put them in the fridge overnight and it will still taste really good the next day.

So last night I made choc cuppies (what else is new kan, hehehe). Walaupun I buat choc cuppies most Sundays, I selalunya use different recipes everytime sebab saje je nak try one of those millions of recipes available on the net. And last nite, I tried this recipe but I kurangkan the sugar.

I made 1 1/2 recipes and I got 24 regular cuppies, 10 mini cuppies and 6 shaped cuppies out of it. And pagi tadi I iced them a bit just to make them more attractive.

This ones for Sunday school. Like I said, only a bit more attractive not a lot more, hikhikhik….

And these are the shaped cuppies I made.

See, when you kemas2 all your baking stuff, you find all these treasure like this silicon insect-shaped baking tray that you bought a long time ago and had forgotten about.

So, the moral of the story is, rajin2 lah berkemas, hikhikhik.

TTM buat dinosaur cakes sebab anak2 dia semua boys. I pulak buat all cute insects sebab anak2 I pompuan kan. Actually I ada jugak dinosaur tray tu and my girls love the dinosaur shapes too Smile.

So cute kan but the butterflies dah tercabut the antennae and the end bits. Masa nak keluarkan from the mould, boleh pulak terpatah.

Up close and personal Winking smile. Ada 2 butterflies, 1 dragonflies, 1 ladybird and 2 beetles.

I rasa kalau pakai fondant icing sure lagi cantik sebab it follows the shape of the insects but tak kuasa I nak main dengan fondant.

Cik Lina,
Salam. thanks sbb suka read my ramblings :-)

Kak Emily,
If I make the cuppies using out of date cake mix, definitely the butterflies will flutter in the tummy, hikhikhik...
Tu lah, I was so excited when I jumpa this mould semalam inside that big box, hehehe.

Shidah,
I guna silicon mould that is bendable and very2 ringan. Are you sure u tak nak I belikan for you and give it to Warque? hehehe.
Psst...definitely lagi murah dari Nordic, wayyyyyyyyy murah :-D

yeah, hari tu i ponggah balik cupboard yg penuh dgn baking stuff, terjumpa some baking pans. tetiba terasa nak bake stuff plak. my hobby is to buy kitchen stuff then berjanji dgn diri sendiri nak masak/bake sedap2 then lupa all about it lepas sumbat dlm cupboard. hahaha.

A~,
tu yg kdg2 I malas betul nak punggah memunggah the kitchen cupboards n pantry sbb I know I will find all these things so takde can lah I nak pergi shopping beli new ones, hehehe.

relakxhappy,
Kalau letak icing fondant, lagi lah memang cantik sgt2 kan and lagilah berebut2 :-).

Zarin,
I ni memang tak pernah main dgn fondant sbb I jenis yg tak patient langsung when it comes to icing and deco. Tu yg guna the easiest icing aje to decorate, hehehe.

Nora,
Kalau you yang decorate, I rasa, sure lagi sangat2 cantik! :-)

Sue,
Memang comei kan :-)

Dinas,
I kalau benda tu di goreng, mau lah terus keluar balik apa yg I makan, hehehe.
Tapi insects yg ini, makin banyak I makan adalah kot :-D

Mulan,
I'm not sure kalau ada jual kat M'sia ke tak but kat OZ ni banyak lah :-)

TTM,
taip balik lah apa yg you tulis sbb comments kat blog I ni tak pergi ke my email so I tak dpt your earlier comment, hehehe....

Sue,
Sure in Canada pun banyak kan these types of silicon moulds :-)

Ayu,
Faris yg ganas, hahaha. Dia kesina tapi dia lapar jugak so tu yg kesian2 pun dia ngap jugak masuk mulut :-).
Psst..I dah belikan utk you tp kena tunggu I balik M'sia lah ye utk dapat :-). InsyaAllah 6 bulan lagi :-).

Intan,
Memang comel kan :-)

Seorang Blogger,

Auntie Meriam,

Shasha,
coklat cuppies memang slalunya sedap kan and then bila dah bentuk mcm tu, lagilah buat diaorang berebut2 :-)
