It’s been ages since my last post. And I haven’t been able to snap pictures leisurely and posted them overnight like I used to do. But I will try harder next time. Really miss blogging. Hope everyone’s doing great!

Best regards

TM : Hari tu ada persembah kek kan? Waktu pertabalan?

SM : Hmm, ada Tuanku, ada.. Hehe.

TM : Kat mana bakery ni?

SM : Kat Ampang Tinggi Tuanku.

TM : Ohh.. Ada jumpa anak saya kan hari tu?

SM : Hmm..

TM : Anak saya, Tunku Besar (YAM Tunku Ali). Ada jumpa kan kat luar istana hari tu?

SM : Ohh, haa.. ya Tuanku.. ada.. ada..*sangat nervous*

TAA : Hari tu fruit cake, ni kek apa pula dear?

SM : Carrot cake Tuanku =)

TM : Terima kasih. Come, ambil gambar.

Ok, to tell you the truth, I was floating in the air! The moment Tuanku Muhriz spoke to me was the moment I knew my tears will stroll down my cheek with no obvious reason why. Fortunately, it didn’t happen =) And at time when Tuanku mentioned my previous cake was unbelievable!

I can’t believed HRH still remember my small cake

Selamat Hari Keputeraan yang ke-62 Tuanku Muhriz

Semoga Allah lanjutkan usia Tuanku dan Tuanku Ampuan.

Salam to all.

Wow.. Lama sangat dah tak tulis blog. Feels like forever! Nak type down pun rasa sangat lembab ni!

It’s been two weeks without a single post. Kerja masih banyak. Tapi alhamdulillah. Ever since operating from LemonVanilla’s Bakery, everything had been working out so well ( I lied, ok!). But nevertheless, despite my never-ending works, I enjoyed fulfilling clients’ demands and orders. Although sometimes I screamed (inside!) for those late orders, God still gave the courage to be patience and considerate. OH! Please, try to understand me this time. I had my working hours fixed, even most of the time, I did have to stay back until late at nights. Things did change and they required a lot of readjustments. We need at least 5 days in advance for any orders, especially the ones regarding weddings and engagements.  Hmm..

But anyway, I need to finish up some paperwork. Family and friends, thank you for the support. Clients, we are here to celebrate every bite of life. Call and make advance appointments. We never like to turn you down.

And here goes some pictures taken from our Yaasin’s recital majlis.

Adakah ini spokeperson LemonVanilla ^_^?

My eldest sister with Amir.

My beloved ayah, Tn Haji Sulaiman Ismail (R).

Beloved mak, with orang pangkal, my adik!

Antara tetamu-tetamu yang hadir. Terima kasih daun keladi

All the way datang dari Ampang! Semangat nak sign guest book! TQ for coming, JK!

And last but not least, sekitar Majlis Hi-Tea Lembaga Kebajikan Perempuan Islam Malaysia yang diadakan pada 12 Disember lalu di Seremban. Let the pictures do the work la ye!

Kek terbesar dalam sejarah LV

Kerusi kuning itu….

Kek kuning itu..

Dif- dif kehormat

According to plan, the cake was supposed to be the officiating cake.. but then, ditukar jadi kek untuk auction.. First donor was YM Tuanku Ampuan Najihah;

Dan penyumbang- penyumbang seterusnya..

Pembida terakhir, a doctor, who then give back the cake to be distributed to all of the guests. Sungguh baik hati!

At the end, the amount of money collected through auctioning was RM580!! I was so thrilled!!

With Tengku Mariam, Aini and some other guests. Thank you so much for this rare and special opportunity!

I am going to have a very busy day tomorrow.

Untuk warga Kuala Pilah/Seremban, please feel free to come over to LemonVanilla Bakery. Berhadapan Pusat Pertanian Ampang Tinggi, Jalan Kuala Pilah-Seremban. Kami kini beroperasi setiap hari, 7 pagi hingga 6 petang.

Best regards

In short, this is going to be a long post.

I was thinking of starting off a new blog, the one where I can pour my heart out instead of blabbing them here. Emotions had run high in these past few weeks. A lot of things had happened and that included today.

Let pictures do the talking. An avid reader had scolded me for not uploading pictures as promised. Sorry. Time had really taken it’s toll this time around.

Kek hantaran.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri’s cake. I know. It was almost 2 months ago

Carrot  banana walnut cake with cream cheese topping.

Manhattan chocolate cheese brownies.

Tiramisu

Chocolate banana cake

Favourite order, Aquarium Birthday Cake.

Tiramisu, up-closed.

Black forest cheesecake

Balloons birthday cake. Very suitable for kids

Marble cheesecake

Ok, a few more afterward.

I already moved out to a new place, located in Ampang Tinggi, Kuala Pilah. It was a perfect, house-like bakery, which I happened to love instantly.

Front view of LemonVanilla Bakery. Yeay!

Inside view of the production area

My office

Somehow, after 1 year officially of working from home, we managed to move out on 19th of November ( which clearly make my mom very very happy since our kitchen is now VERY spacious) and did my last mass production from home yesterday. We had a Yaasin’s recital ceremony at our new place today, had a huge number of clients, friends and relatives turned out, and my parents looked happier than ever. I hope I have made them proud.

Alhamdulillah. Somehow He answered my prayers.

And these are another strings of my proudest moments, capturing pictures of Negeri Sembilan’s football team during their visit to Kuala Pilah

Ponek nak sign macam ni

Anyway and anyhow, I know the cake was simple (pardon me, I didn’t take a pic) but I hope those football players loved it. Tahniah jang!~ sincerely from LemonVanilla Bakery, tanpa ada maksud tersembunyi!

Muka excited~! Weeeee!

Then, a few more pictures (oh, sudah penat lagi mengantuk)

Blueberry chocolate ice cream cake

More or less the same. blueberry cake.

Book-like birthday cake

Thank you, Jabatan Agama Kuala Pilah

Manhattan chocolate cheese brownies, lagi

Marble cheesecake, lagi juga

Chocolate cheesecake with chocolate ganache.

Thank you Miss Fauzana of UiTM Kuala Pilah. Congrates on the engagement!

And last but not least, classic cheesecake.

To all clients, thank you so much for your endless support. Please feel free to visit LemonVanilla Bakery, located in front of Pusat Pertanian Ampang Tinggi, Kuala Pilah.

To that mysterious stalker, I hope you enjoy these pictures

And not to forget, Tengku Tina of Istana Besar Seri Menanti; thank you for that much-awaited phone call I really hope to serve HH in the near future

When I come to think about it, I should just had my rest and forget the world’s content. Today had been hectic. But since I had a few cups of coffee since morning, I can’t barely sleep. Fatigue but awake. Still had a long to-do-list tomorrow. Notice how inalert I was when I realized I didn’t trademark my pictures..

Naahh.. nevermind-lah!~

Best regards everyone. Good night

p/s : I love our new place. It’s located just opposite the main road of Seremban-Kuala Pilah. At least I can sometimes see TAR speeding on the road with His sunglasses on! 

Pardon my grammar~! I haven’t sleep in the past 20 hours~

Salam everyone.

These pics were meant to be uploaded last week, but then again, I know, it’s sounded more boring than ever whenever I mention the phrase ‘I was busy’, again. Good that these pics can tell stories, too. I’ll be uploading more, soon.

The inside view of Crystal Seafood Cafe’s exclusive dining area.

Up-close, but overall, this cafe has an inviting atmosphere which I found very hard to resist to dine-in! And how much I wish for a shooting star, Kuala Pilah will have one of this, right here, in the near future.

*Mana jutawan-jutawan Pilah?*

Anyway, the 3rd shipping is due soon. New cakes, fabuluos brownies. What’s left to be done is to have your teeth sunk them in.

Enjoy. And thanks for your endless support

Assalamualaikum everyone

Gosh, it’s been forever since my last post! My laptop had finally ‘gone’ ( the motherboard had broken beyond repair~) and yes, it was not the only reason why I hadn’t write for quite sometimes now. I am grateful too, as my brother had retrieved all of my pictures and data to an external hard disk just a few days before the laptop couldn’t be able to function. Thank God.

And before it is too late, SALAM AIDILFITRI and MAAF ZAHIR BATIN; from the bottom of my heart! I’m missing my parents terribly, wishing I can lepak with my dear friends and chat about life. But no, life has to move on. A big project is coming about and I can’t wait to tell you about it, soon..

Ok, I give you a hint. I am seriously in need of funds for the moment. Ada jutawan yang dermawan tak kat Pilah ni?

I had a lot to mumble around about, and yet, I am running out of time. As soon as I can spare some time, I promise I’ll upload more pictures.

Till then, take care and best regards

p/s : I just saw Tunku Ali driving his Mercedes with his sunglasses on. Uhh..

Salam buat semua.

Pada ketika dan saat post ini ditulis, MU mendahului Arsenal dengan 1-0 dalam pertarungan 1st leg separuh akhir Champions League. Hebat! Hebat!

Hari ini penuh dengan cabaran. Sepanjang ketiadaan mak dengan ayah, saya terpaksa menggunakan kereta manual. Hakikatnya, saya tidak kisah dengan apa jua kereta, asalkan saya dapat tiba ke destinasi. Cuma, ya, sejak ayah memberi kebenaran menggunakan kereta, saya belasah yang auto. Bayangkan bila saya memandu kereta manual, kereta emak yang sangat dikenali ramai itu. Tiba saat apabila saya tidak dapat menyelaraskan clutch dengan minyak ( pendek kata, enjin kereta mati ), memang saya tidak dapat mengelak daripada tersenyum sendirian dalam cuba untuk menunjukkan muka maaf melalui side mirror kepada pemandu belakang Macam- macam. Namun masuk hari yang kedua, saya sudah mampu memecut. Haha. Mujur masih ada pelekat P di kereta emak.

Ok, gambar-gambar seperti yang dijanjikan. Upload pictures daripada memory card yang terdahulu telah ‘hilang’ dalam Picasa. Sangat kecewa. Kadang-kadang teknologi menyusahkan. Hmmm.. Jadi, gambar- gambar berikut adalah separuh daripada yang diharapkan dapat di upload

Terima kasih ahli-ahli Wanita UMNO kawasan Jemapoh.

Kek ‘emergency’. Selamat Hari Lahir buat emak (24 April) dan Angah (26 April), semoga terus panjang umur dan dilimpahi rahmat-Nya, amiin.

Terima kasih Cik Fizah dari Pejabat MARA Kuala Pilah. Ini kek yng tak menguji decorator, kan? Kebiasaannya, saya akan draft dan lukis menggunakan tangan. Namun, jika kek agak kecil dan lukisan agak mencabar, sugar deco seperti ini amat membantu

Terima kasih Jabatan Pertanian Kuala Pilah, walaupun sangat-sangat short notice. 30 cupcakes dalam masa 1  1/2 jam Cupcakes bersempena majlis perpisahan AO Kuala Pilah, Encik Suffian Aizudin yang akan berpindah ke Johor Bharu. Semoga terus maju jaya

Terima kasih Puan Nurie, Putrajaya, juga untuk majlis perpisahan staff.

MU masih mendahului. Yeay! Bercakap pasal majlis-majlis perpisahan ni, emak turut tidak terkecuali daripada dipindahkan Perlis? Lagi jauh kan? Tapi, tidak mengapa. Mungkin ada sesuatu yang lebih menarik menanti untuk menambahbaik kredibiliti emak di sana.

Sekian, salam hormat

Salam to all.

As promised, these are some pictures I’ve snapped during my first conducted baking class in group.

To tell you the truth, I was quite nervous. I’ve only had several sessions of 1-to-1 and 1-to-2 classes. 1-to-many? I went white-knuckled !

Fortunately, the class went just as great though my banana carrot cake was not properly done probably due to the oven’s condition. Though it tasted equally great, the appearance was not. Nonetheless, the participants had been extremely eager to learn which delighted me at the end of every session. And I surely had a lot of improvisations needed to be done.

Mistakes are opportunities of learning something new.

Oh, and well, I was not in any of these pictures. Shall upload some more soon.

Best regards

This website is still under great construction and your patience is highly appreciated.

Thank you.
