Earlier, I have wrote about cupcake bouquet and NOW............ introducing........ (drum roll please)....... Deco Cookies Bouquet.
The usual deco cookies I've made were in loose piece. And this is the first time, I'm arranging the cookies becoming a bouquet. Well, it was much harder than arranging the cupcakes bouquet. And below are the pictures of the Deco Cookies Bouquet I've made.
Order received from Layla of Layla Islamic Fashion, one of my return customers. She wanted these Deco Cookies Bouquet as one of the engagement hantaran. Thanks Layla for trusting me to do this Deco Cookies Bouquet.

While many people love yogurt on its own, it can get a little bit dull. Why not dress it up with some healthy additions for added flavor and texture?
Many yogurts contain probiotics and they help regulate your digestive system and protect you from harmful bacteria. Read the label to ensure your yogurt includes live bacterial cultures, so you are getting the health benefits.
Kids love yogurt parfaits too. Plus, they’re much healthier than an ice cream sundae and can be just as exciting if you let them assemble their own parfait. Just wash, cut and prepare the various ingredients and let them go at it.
Here are some ideas for your yogurt parfait…
Try different flavors of yogurt, so you can layer different colors into your parfait. As you can see in the picture, we’ve used vanilla and blueberry yogurt.
Add some crunch with granola or just plain old healthy oats. We’ve used oats in our yummy example. You can also try a variety of crushed nuts.
Add fruit like sliced grapes, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, banana, mandarin slices and more.
Simply add a layer of yogurt. Top with oats or granola and then some fruit. Repeat the process until you get the right-sized parfait for you.
Your yogurt parfait is what you make of it and no two are quite the same. Serve up one of these as a snack, lunch accompaniment or even a dessert after dinner.
Chocolate Chip Cookie..... Who doesn’t love a chewy chocolate chip cookie?
This recipe is adapted from the original recipe you’ll find on the back of any bag of Chipits, but with less sugar. We also use margarine, instead of the optional butter as it produces the chewiest results. This recipe is an oldie, but a goodie. For those who wanted to try this out for makan-makan, please do so. :)
Ingredients:
1 cup margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup white sugar
2 cups flour (you can easily use whole wheat in this recipe with the same great results)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, broken into small pieces
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cream together the butter and sugars with a mixer. Add the eggs and continue mixing until smooth. Add the flour and baking soda and mix fully, scraping the edges of the bowl as you go. When the mixture is fully combined, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts so they are evenly distributed.
Place batter by teaspoonful on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for about 9-10 minutes or until just starting to brown. Let them cool a bit before removing them and placing them on a cooling rack, or they’ll fall apart.
Doll Cake is one of the favorite cake among little girls. Whether it is a princess doll or barbie doll, the excitement will be shown on their faces when the cake box is open.
And as for myself, I really loves decorating doll cake. I am not as expert as other bakers, though I try my best to make my imagination on the dress details come true. :)
Million thanks to Wan and Lina for ordering Doll Cake for their daughter's birthday. And here are the pictures for both orders.

Especially in today's culture of fast food and hustle and bustle, blenders are probably not the first thing on the list when outfitting a kitchen. Those noisy counter top blenders of the past have been relegated to the very back of an unused shelf in the pantry or even moved out of the kitchen completely. Why does a kitchen even need a blender in the first place? The reasons that you need a blender for your kitchen will definitely surprise you.
Sleek and shining, blenders of the future have arrived and are showing up in kitchens today. These machines are fast, quiet and amazingly versatile. From creating the perfect dessert to making a high-tech protein shake, blenders are becoming more than a kitchen convenience. They are helping to create a healthier lifestyle in a world full of difficult food choices.
From the tiny "baby" blender versions to the ultra-modern Vita Mix; blenders come in a huge variety of styles and offer plenty of options for both utility functions and fun. Easier to use than those giant food mixers, a blender can do almost anything from chopping dry ingredients to making ice cream. These mighty machines of the kitchen come in fun colors and can even match your kitchen decor.
Blending is not the only function that a blender can accomplish. Recipes that call for mixing dry ingredients can be made simply and easily with the help of a blender. Blending your baby's food from fresh ingredients or creating the perfect breakfast shake can also be accomplished with a standard kitchen blender.
Mixed drinks that contain crushed ice are impossible to make at home without the use of a blender. What is more fun on a hot summer night than some delicious daiquiris filled with fresh fruit and made in your own kitchen?
Blenders make it easy to add more fruit and vegetables to your diet. Replacing one meal each day with a nutritious fruit smoothie is the perfect way to give that diet a push.
Recipes for creamy soups and homemade ground wheat can also be made easily with a good blender.
Salad dressings, gravies and yogurt smoothies are also simple to make once you've added a blender to your kitchen.
A breakfast shake is a time-saving way to make sure that your family is actually having a breakfast before work or school. Even those late night snacks can be more nutritious when a blender is involved.
Instead of reaching for those potato chips, blend a banana and yogurt smoothie to make a satisfying snack.
Regardless of the uses you find for your blender, every kitchen counter should have a little space for this versatile piece of equipment.
I haven't tried out this recipe yet. But from the ingredients mentioned, I have no doubt it has a nice taste. Tell me, who doesn’t love a slice (or two) of fresh banana bread, particularly when chocolate is involved?

1
½ cups white sugar

A good breakfast is important for children. However, sometimes we simply don’t have time to prepare a balanced meal. Here are some quick and easy breakfast ideas for kids to help them have a great start to their day.
Scrambled eggs are relatively quick to prepare. Your child can choose the ingredients they want for their eggs – bell pepper, onion, diced meat, cheese, or something else entirely. Season to taste. Melt butter in a pan, stir together the egg mixture and cook it until done. This particular version is similar to a western omelet but you could add almost anything to scrambled eggs and they’d taste great because eggs are so versatile.
Kids love pancakes but they can take more time that you might have during weekday mornings. Why not try French toast instead? Beat 8 eggs, 1/3 cup of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or cinnamon. Soak up to 8 day-old bread slices. Heat a non-stick skillet and cook the slices, one at a time, turning the bread after 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve with syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar.
Cinnamon toast is another quick and easy breakfast idea for kids. Spread butter or margarine on as many slices of bread as you need. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the bread and place it in a 250 degree oven. Remove and serve when the butter or margarine is melted.
Oatmeal is one quick and easy breakfast idea which will warm your children up. Substitute milk for 1/4 of the water when preparing the oatmeal. Add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and serve while it’s hot. Your children will love it. To make it even better, add currants, raisins or chopped nuts.
Fruit salad would be something easy most children would love for breakfast. Cut up cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas and oranges into bite-sized pieces. Mix together 1 tablespoon honey with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Drizzle this over the fruit and let the children dig in.
One of the easiest breakfasts you can prepare for your children is to serve yogurt, granola and some type of fresh or frozen berry. Mix the three items together and serve with either milk or juice. This breakfast is delicious, nutritious and takes very little time on a busy morning.
Parents don’t want to give their children only sugar-sweetened cereal for breakfast. They want their kids to have something wholesome as well as being quick and easy. Try these simple breakfast ideas for your children to enjoy.
I admit that this Chocolate Mascarpone Cheese Cake is on top of my favorite cake list. The rich taste of the buttery, double- or triple-cream cheese made the cake...simply 'unforgettable' after eating it. The cake has a delicate taste.
