the REDVELVET si baldu merah..

Keinginan yang teramat sangat di dalam tekak ini telah merajinkan aku untuk baking, which is not my thing suatu masa dahulu. Kalau masak2 melibatkan tepung ni memang aku anti sangat. Kalau dulu, setiap kali mama buat kuih raya, nak mintak tolong aku kira memang agak mustahil la kan, sebab aku lagi prefer untuk cat rumah daripada buat kuih raya. hehehe. Semenjak dua menjak nila, semenjak aku menjadi gadis ni, aku prefer plak girl2 thing seperti memasak, pergi spa, pink2..haha..tapi untungla orang disekeliling aku sebab dapat merasa air tangan aku yang julung2 kali rajin ni kan.

Last time punya projek ialah REDVELVET cake. Aku memang suka makan redvelvet, sebab color die sangat tempting dan rasa die mmg marvelous.  For the first time in my life, I try to do it.  Kalau coklat kek ngan cheese cake tu dah penah buat kan, so kali ni aku nk upgrade lagi my skill in baking.  Sekarang ni aku memang dah ada spot baek punye untuk membeli barang untuk buat kek iaitu Yummy bakery kat Bandar Baru Bangi, dekat je ngan Putrajaya ni.  Kalau nk buat kek ni, costing memang agak tinggi jugak la tapi sekali sekala takpe la kan.

Aku try resepi daripada Blog Kak Rima http://www.bisousatoi.com/.  Aku memang selalu stalk blog kak rima ni sebab blog die cantik dan resepi dalam blog tu memang terbaik! hehe. aku dah try few recipe which i really2 satisfied.  TQ kak rima! So this is the recipe:
