Wonderful Cupcakes!

I was having a craving for my friend's cupcakes.  
(I'd written a blog post about her wonderful cakes in a previous post.)
Went to take a look at her blog. 
Found beautiful cupcakes all around. 
Left a comment (plus drool) on one of her posts "Craving for your cupcakes."

The next morning, I found a FB message from her. 

"Where are you today? I'll pass you a box of cupcakes." 

I squealed in delight and was so UBER happy!!!

In the afternoon, she sent me 12 gorgeous looking cupcakes. 

Late as we were for a meeting, the hubs and I just had to gobble a few down. 

MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... JUST as how I remember it to be. 

Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!

Now you see it

Now you don't!

Victoria Rossa English Tea Room @ Hartamas Shopping Centre

Sorry for the long silence! Haven't really been trying products/services, nor has there been an outstanding one to recommend ... so there.

My friend took us to her friend's "shop" in Hartamas Shopping Centre for a high tea. I didn't expect much - even though the place looked nice. Sometimes shops are so nicely decorated but the food is icky and yucky.

This place is called Victoria Rossa - situated on the first floor of Hartamas Shopping Centre. To be exact, here's the address: Unit K20, Level 1, Hartamas Shopping Centre (right across from Pineapple Computer store). Everything is dolled up in Victorian splendor - very elegant and pretty.

The menu - so shweet :)

My friend ordered one of those tea sets - that came with cucumber sandwiches, butter cake and scones, accompanied with tea - very nice tea!

Cranberry and raisin scones - fresh, light and buttery

Nice tea pots and tea cosys - the experience is building up very quickly!

Hmm, I thought I had a photo of the butter cake which I must say was absolutely divine! As I said, my expectation of this "tea room" wasn't very high. BUT, my my, I was pleasantly surprised ... the food was of really really good quality! I'll say it again, the butter cake was beautiful! A MUST HAVE when you go there.

The owner of the place came to sit with us and brought more food for us to sample. Wow, we were so blessed. We listened to him talk passionately about his tea room. You can tell he really takes pride in what he does. He doesn't believe in using substandard ingredients so the butter cake (and all the other pastries) are made with only pure butter. No shortening, no margarine, nothing with trans-fat.

Will definitely go back again for the great experience. Hmm, or maybe not ... just for the sake that I can't afford the calories :( But ... if you're looking for a good English high tea - Victoria Rossa is the place to go!

Best Fruit Cake, Sugee Cake and Murukku!

Now, how could I forget to promote the "business" of the person so close to home? My very own mother! A thousand apologies, Mee! My mother is a fantastic cook (okay, maybe I'm 0.01% biased) and can cook up a storm! Over the past years, she's been trying her hand at baking, and after experimenting, trying, tweaking recipes...she's got a couple of stellar winners! After much persuasion from family and friends, she finally took a step forward, dived in - and took orders. Good reviews so far! Here are her 3 best sellers:

MURUKKU
Maximum Spice Maximum Flavour.
Warning: Highly Addictive!
RM8 per bottle (minimum order: 3 bottles)

SUGEE CAKE
This traditional Eurasian recipe has been tried over and over again till the perfect combination of ingredients was achieved to create that heavenly first bite. Moist, fluffy, aromatic, full-bodied - reminiscent of festive celebrations! THIS is the real deal!
RM80 per cake

FRUIT CAKE
I've never liked fruit cake - ever. Till I tried my mum's. Exquisite. Fragrant, bursting with plump juicy raisins,  and laced  enhanced with top quality brandy. The end product...indescribable.
RM80 per cake


My mum lives in Penang, so this post benefits the Penangites most :) But people in the Klang Valley, don't feel left out .. Mum does have people doing deliveries to KL once in a while - so you can just try your luck :)

Notes:

Please allow

*5 days notice for sugee cake and murukku

*14 days notice for fruit cake as the fruits need to be soaked in brandy for at least 1 week

Self-collection on a cash upon delivery (COD) basis

Cakes galore!

This friend of mine started out baking a few years back as a hobby, and hooboy, I bet she has a string of loyal customers now! Her cakes not only taste good, but make great eye candy too! I love her London Cheesecake. It's simply heavenly! Her cupcakes are equally delicious!

Guess what this is?

My wedding cake!!! It was the bestest ever wedding cake in the whole wide universe! And ain't it a beaut?!
