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

This cake was made in December. Last year. And a few more pictures went missing here and there ever since my laptop broke down. Speaking of high-technology’s ‘wonders’, aite? My bad. I didn’t back-up my files.

But anyhow, the damage had been done. Basically there’s nothing much I can do regarding updating my blog since December. The truth is, I’ve been busy. And I know, I can get even busier than this. Soon enough.

But..

It was just an excuse, kot.

Kalau sibuk, macam mana boleh sempat baca blog keretamayat sampai pukul 3 pagi?

My parents had safely arrived Beseri last night. Leaving me all alone, again. While I wished I could savour my mom’s meal instead of this homemade strawberry milkshake, I know that’s not going to happen in the near future.

I hope I can get married to a cook. I hope I can hire some new staffs. I hope my high expectation about ‘that person’ is true ( I was over-praising him, I guessed-  kecewanya) I hope I have at least a few more thousand MYR inside my bank account ( I might lose that perfect little shop which is open for rental in KP, oh!). I hope I can stop merapu now.

Good night everyone. I might had taken XtraSharp a little more than I should today.

Best regards.

p/s : Fara, congratulations upon your engagement. I’ll upload your gorgeous cake picture soon, k?

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

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

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

November’s here. Amazing things had happened throughout the past few weeks. I can hardly catch my breath.

As days go by, I’m missing my parents terribly. Problems did arise from each corner of my indisputably busy life, despite how I wish I could handle things one time at a time. Somehow I wish I could board the first flight heading north tomorrow. The feeling of longing to be consoled is hardly deniable, even at the age of almost 23. Hurmm~

It’s about time to be in state of super-busy. I might not have those ample time like I used to have, blogging and updating myself with latest posts from my favourite bloggers. Somehow I swore to fully make use of my time, but along the way, distractions cross my path Prioritizing had definitely smote me. Maybe some time off work would do wonders.

The good news is, now Klang Valley’s residents can savour LemonVanilla’s cakes and tortes @ Crystal Seafood Cafe, No 3099, Jalan Cengal Selatan, Setapak Garden, KL These include classic cheesecake, tiramisu and almond chocolate torte. And if I’m not mistaken, some cake supplies were also distributed to this cafe’s second outlet in Putrajaya’s Precint 15, nearby Mydin. Enjoy!

p/s : it’s a fairytale, because I never thought I could supply LemonVanilla’s cakes to KL within such a very short period of operating~ Thank you Mr Nazlan of Crystal Teamtrade Sdn Bhd. It’s a dream come true

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

Assalamualaikum.

As how my brother would tease it, I’ve been busier than a prime minister. Orders are pouring in. Demands are undeniably hard to say no to. Days without xtra sharp are killing me. No stock through the nation. I’ve contacted Bangi, KL, Terengganu, Johor, Melaka, and Tampin but it went to no avail. Gosh! If anyone had a bottle extra in their keeping, I’m more than willing to pay double the price to get my dose

Here goes my checklist of orders over the weekend :

• A 5 kg birthday cake for YB Datuk Hasan Malek, Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development cum Parliament Member of Kuala Pilah,
• A Spiderman birthday cake for Miss Fizah of MARA Kuala Pilah,
• 2 kg chocolate moist cake for Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat’s district officer in duty,
• 25 cupcakes for Lat of UKM,
• 120 cupcakes for students of SK Juasseh,
• More cupcakes for Hospital Tuanku Ampuan Najihah’s cafeteria,
• 100 pieces of buns for SMK Za’aba’s kiosk,

and, last but not least was a heart-shaped strawberry cherry layered cake with fresh cream, specially made for my mum and brother’s double birthday! XOXO!

April is ending. Though I haven’t yet achieved my target sales for the month, I had overcome March’s sales in total. Alhamdulillah. Several schools had contacted for orders in bulk, and still, I can’t make up my mind just yet. For the time being, it will still be fine for me to accept those orders since my little sister is still at home. But what if once she gets into college? Who would help me out then? I can actually ruin my reputation by willing to accept big orders but fail to keep it up, isn’t it? If only i have a REAL bakery, then hiring an employee should be easier~

I promised pictures and I will upload them very very soon. Some problems occurred in Picasa and I will fix them ASAP. And good news, me and my sister will be heading north this weekend for a few days away off the oven Plus, MU are coming over to KL this July! Can’t hardly wait!

Till then, best regards
