Contest at Joys @ Uptown Sweets

I went for a bread baking workshop at Joys@Uptown Sweets last month and Joys has a contest running this month. She has tied up with Jaz, my scrapbooking teacher for the beautiful prize of an altered notebook or an altered clipboard.

You can see the post on Facebook here.

Please 'Like' my comment so that I can have a chance to win the prize!!!

PS. You need to 'Like" Joys@Uptown Sweets before you can 'Like' my post.

She is smart to make you be her fan first huh! And very smart to tie up with Jaz to make the scrapbooking people drool over both Jaz's artwork and her bread/chocolate bom bom/macarons too! :)

Breadmaking experience

I came across this ad on breadmaking by Joys@Uptown Sweets on Facebook one day. I signed up on their mailing list and referred 10 friends. So surprised when my friend emailed back to me and said she's interested to go for the breadmaking workshop. So we waited for the schedule to be out, confirmed with each other on our availability and we signed up!

The last time both of us were in the kitchen together was in Sec 2!

It was a fun and informative workshop, with both demo by Joys, and hands-on for us to try. Here's my classmates and our bread! It's a combined effort by all of us to make these!

Today I tried to make bread in my own kitchen. Gosh it was hard work kneading the dough myself! The dough turned out to be rather wet and I thought I might fail. But I got very excited when I see the color of the bread turning while in the oven and the wonderful smell of bread filled the kitchen!

This is a hotdog bun with cheese. It is not perfect, there are 'cellulites' on it. But I am happy with the result!

Fluffy bread!!!

The flower hotdog buns.

Will try to make bread again but with a breadmaking machine next time!

Baking corn flakes cookies

Happened to see a comment by Hazel on Facebook about baking cookies so I offered them my kitchen. They came!

I got most of the tools for them but the main 'tool' was their hand!

Look at Hazel kneading with her fire passion!

So pretty and yummy!

All packed nicely. This is only part of it!

Thanks to Meiling for her recipe! It is very easy and she used to teach children to make this.

Cornflakes cookies

300gm self-raising flour

200gm sugar

250gm margarine (melted at room temperature)

1 egg

cornflakes

Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Put the mix in mini cups. Do not put too much as the dough will rise. Bake in oven at 200 degrees celsius. Makes about 80pcs.
