Mickey theme cupcakes and mini pavlova ordered by Hilmi

A friend of mine during preparation, Zulu a.k.a Hilmi, ordered cupcakes and mini pavlova for his friend's 1 year old son birthday. He asked me what kind of cupcakes are suitable and I suggested velvet cupcakes (red velvet cake minus the red coloring) and vanilla frosting. I omitted the red coloring just in case the parents want to feed the baby boy. He then requested the cupcakes to be decorated with Mickey theme and Mikail written on them. 

As for the pavlova, he requested mango, kiwi, and strawberry topping. He just want to try it for fun. I ased for his feedback and he said they were delicious! :)

12 2 oz Mickey theme cupcakes with edible image: RM 60

9 pieces 4' pavlova with mango, strawberry, and kiwi: RM 60

Thanks Zulu for the order, and I am glad that you enjoy them :)

Chocoreo cheez cake ordered by Suffi

My colleague, Suffi, ordered another cake from me. She requested a different cake this time so I suggested her this. Chocoreo cheez cake- chocolate oreo cake with oreo cream cheese topping. The cake, as the name suggested, is filled with lots of oreo biscuits. If you are a fan of oreo, you definitely have to try this :)

The cake was for her husband farewell barbeque party, and I drove to her house to deliver this cake. Please note I don't do delivery because of my labwork, but this was on Saturday thus I have some free time to go to her place (while my PCR was running). And yeah, delivery will cost more since the price is for two ways (go and back) so it is cheaper if you pick up your goodies anyway - this is my honest suggestion :)

Chocoreo cheez cake (it is not Oreo cheesecake fyi)

2++ kg

Pricing: RM 90

Delivery to Shah Alam: RM 20

Total: RM 110

I asked her opinion of this cake and this is what she said:

Guess what, kek Mas dah habes dimakan! lg sedap dr ur red velvet. Sumeorg yg mkn kata sedap.and siap ade yg mtk nk order kt Suffi! Haaahaa

Guess what, your cake is finished! It is more delicious than your red velvet. Eveyone who ate said it was yummy, they even asked me to order! Haahaa

Thanks Suffi for the order and the nice comment :)

Nadiah Johari, a friend during preparation, ordered 16 pieces red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese and vanilla frosting for her sister's bridal shower. 

She requested minimal decoration, so I just make two simple decorations - large rose and spiral with a heart, one decoration for one topping so that she and her family can tell the difference between the toppings.

Hummingbird cake - Yummy cake combination of banana cake and carrot cake

I was interested of baking this cake after I saw the recipe at Safiyyah's cool Magnolia Bakery cookbook. The name of this cake caught my eyes, and I have been dying to try the recipe ever since. Even though I was quite reluctant to bake it after knowing that pineapple is one of the main ingredients, I changed my mind after reading some of the great reviews about this cake. 

This cake was originated from Southern part of United States, and it is one of the famous cakes along with red velvet cake at that region. Some of the bakers said that the cake got its name because of the sweetness of the cake just like the nectar of the flowers. Knowing that, I reduce a lot amount of sugar because I want the cake to be just nice and not too sweet. 

I served this cake to our German guest and his Indonesian fiance during dinner. Both of them love the cake, and I love the cake as well. The cake is moist and dense because of banana, and the pecan makes it really caramel-ly and flavorful. Surprisingly, I could not taste the pineapple at all so this cake definitely a winner :D 

The cake, just like other reviewers said, does taste like combination of carrot cake and banana cake. Since I am a fan of both cakes, this cake is listed among of my favorites along with vanilla cake and tres leches cake. 

The fact pecan is one of the main ingredienst made me feel down a little bit because pecan costs RM 22++ (USD 7.3) for 250 g in Malaysia T_T. How I wish all dairy products and dried nuts and fruits are cheaper here.

p.s: let me know if you want to order this cake, I could use walnut for cheaper substitute.

Mini red velvet cuppies ordered by Sheila

Sheila called me few days before and asked about my goodies. She and her friend saw my mini red velvet cuppies pictures on Facebook and was interested to order them. They requested two different frosting - vanilla and cream cheese frosting. So like always, I only make two different designs so they can differentiate the frosting easily. 

We met at Komuter Serdang for pick-up, and we planned to change the location at BHP Petrol on the way before KTM Serdang instead because the station was packed with vehicles -_-!! 

Owh, and apparently Sheila's friend is Farah Fazarina's cousin (Farah was one of my close friends during preparation) hohoho such a small world :D

36 pieces mini red velvet cuppies

Extra cream cheese frosting - RM 1.80 a piece

Extra creamy vanilla frosting - RM 1.50 a piece

Total: RM 59.40 

Don't you think they are adorable :) I really love mini cuppies, they are so cute and you can control the amount that you eat (I think).

My story

I have sweet tooth and I've always liked eating sweet stuff that my sister baked when I was a small girl, that was until she went to university and I had to bake the goodies myself. It started with brownies and eventually with other desserts. I started baking cakes for friends' birthdays when I was in university, and most of them were instant mixes since that was the cheapest option for poor sponsored college student like me. I would say that the decoration was not bad for an amateur who never took any baking or decorating class haha

Birthday cake for Kumitaa and birthday cupcakes for Faris baked by me using instant mix that costed $1 (RM 4) at Safeway during promotion. Hella cheap right?

When I came back to Malaysia, I had the opportunity to attend  cupcake class held by Kak Edina. The class was really fun and plus the teacher was super nice and helpful :) I learnt how to use piping bag correctly and the proper technique of decorating cupcakes using buttercream. I made a cupcake business for a while called CuppyCuppy  but had to discontinue it because I wanted to concentrate on my research and I didn't have an oven at my rental house.

Years gone by and I was at the peak of my stress level and I needed SUGAR!

Before I was married, I always bought cakes, pies etc at L'apprenti, UPM - the nearest distance and cheapest option from my lab. I remember I went there once a week whenever I didn't get good lab result - yup doing research is not easy T_T . I still did that when I'm married (sometimes) when I realized I can just easily bake my own cakes at home. So whenever I needed sugar, I just whipped up something and put it in the oven. I took half (or quarter) at home and brought the rest to the lab so that I won't gain (that much) weight

I kept doing it for a while when I realized baking every week was not cheap. So I decided to open up baking business again but this time with more variety of goodies.

We (me and my husband) initially named it Cake Monster, and he even asked his brother to design cute monsters for my business (thanks Marius :). We changed it to Muniroh's bakery instead when my husband realized that my blog template did not match with the Cake Monster theme where it is supposed to be colorful and catchy.

Cute monsters sketched by Marius :)

Do I still do labwork? YES! I am a biotechnologist at day and an amateur baker at night, and I hope that I can be good in both in the future :)
