Cinnamon Rolls with Chocolate Chips Filling

My boys love the Cinnabons and we always have to stop and buy them every time we walk pass it. Because they like the cinnamon rolls so much and have asked me many times to make the rolls at home, I figure why not?

I use a simple bread recipe. Roll out the bread dough into a rectangle shape. Spread melted butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon powder and chocoloate chips and roll the dough into a log shape and slice. The boys insisted on helping me with the sprinkling, so I let them help. Messy but fun!

And because we had so much fun making these rolls, we made another batch the next day.

Akasyah's Choo Choo Train Cake

My baby turned 6 last Friday and I am proud. Baked him a choo choo train chocolate cake for his school. He goes to Insight-kids Pre-school. A very good pre-school, I highly recommend it. Of course the best thing about the school is that it is just across the street from home. Haha!

Anyway, did the cake with a little bit of frosting. Didn't want to put too much because the cake is already molded nicely. My sister Tiah, bought the cake mould from a cake shop in Aberdeen called Lakeland for BP26.99. Pricey, but worth it!



I baked choo choo train cookies for the party packs. I didn't have time to frost all the cookies, so I decided to give the children a 'Frost your own cookie" Kit. Asked Akasyah what he thinks, he thought it was, "Brilliant idea, Bunda!".



In each kit has a cookie, a frosting tube, a bag of sprinkles and a cookie recipe card (made by mrixiepixie, a very dear friend of bakinglab...hehehe).

The children loved the cake and their goodies!

Elmo Cake

Since Maiya now has a new buggy buddy, Elmo. And because she loves her new friend very very much, I made this Elmo cake to celebrate her first birthday. I was out of black, only had enough to outline the mouth. Considering it's my first attempt at making Elmo, I'm happy with the result.

Daddy's Love

A daddy asked me if I could make 20 cookies for his daughter. No special occasion and no particular theme. Susah jugak. SO I came up with these. Hearts and flowers for to say 'daddy loves you'.

Ben10 theme party cookies

Made these for Arif's 6th Birthday Party. Omnitrix biscuits packed individually to give away with the party goodies.

Experimenting with whites

Today, husband is free to babysit the baby, so I get to experiment on the icing tips I bought a while ago.



I'm sure they already have names for all these tips. But I have my own special name for them. These I call, star tips because they make little stars.




Spaghetti tip and carpet nozzle. Carpet nozzle can also be used to make Elmo cupcake. Spaghetti tip to make spaghetti cupcake? Hehehehe. I pun tatau.



Haaaaa, to make these I use the petal and leaf tips. Made the roses first, and then assemble on the cupcake.


This one is my personal favourite because I love white roses. Good for wedding cake assemble.



These are random basket weaving tip, siput tip and quick rose tip.

Stay tuned for more experiments in the bakinglab.
