Happy Father's Day, Daddy

We celebrated Father's Day at home with dearie hubby. Since I didn't go back to Ah Mah's house with the kids cos got to attend Aunty Ah Choo's grandson full month party. Furthermore by the time the function is over it is already 2.30 pm and both Le-Ann and Ee-Thern slept in the car when I am on my way back. So decided to turn back to home.

Reach home I ask dearie hubby let's go out at night and have dinner to celebrate for him but he don't want to go out reason being it will be jam packedwith all people celebrating Father's Day. Since the two kids is soundly asleep and I quickly take the oppurtunity to bake a cake for him. I've baked a Blueberry Vanilla Sponge Cake and used whipping cream to decorate the cake.

End result---> I am not so satisfied with my decorating with the whipping cream. Don't know what goes wrong with the cream cos I cannot get a smooth surface when I spread on the cakes. Why ah ?



Happy Father's Day Dearie Suki

There are many factors to why your whipped cream is not smooth. Number 1 is the brand of whipped cream you have bought. If you use those from the supermarket, it will not be smooth and hold its shape. You gotta get those from the baking ingredient shops. Number 2 is that you whipped it at a very high speed. You need to whip it at a moderate speed to build up the volume. Number 3, if you did add milk or water into the whip cream, you gotta check the proportion of liquid and whip cream. Number 4, You gotta use the whipped up cream immediately. Once it sits for awhile, it will be porous.


By the way, I must say that you are doing a great job with your blog and your family. Working and coming home to cook is not something any woman can do! Keep up the good work. However, just for your information, internal organs of animals are very bad for health. It is very high in bad cholestrol that will clog your heart arteries. Perhaps you might want to give it a thought when you plan your family dinner menu. Try to eat healthily! Happy cooking!
