My Valentine`s Day 2008

It was wonderful Valentine`s day ever. Although it was kind of last minutes plan but still managed celebrated it on time which is why we both so happy and appreciated every single moments. I was finish work till 5pm, rushed to grocery stores and catch the bus home and I start preparing dinner and my Valentine`s gift for Ray.

I even dont change my work clothes since I will making a mess of myself and I`m run out of time. ;S

This year still the same as last which I didn't buy present and I rather make out a special & meaningful gift to show my sincereness and my loves.

My gifts for Ray.

Ermmm.....I could called it "Lovely Cookies" in mandarin "ai sin bin kam". heheh

and you know what ?????



THIS IS MY 1ST TIME BAKED COOKIES!



LOL...I`m kind of risk taker, if the cookies fail I still got backup by setting romantic dinner. keeekekekek.



I was worry and at the same time excited as well.



After done, the fun way begining. Heart shape cutting one for original color & one for pink color. ;P



Ready to baked it on 180'C



I didnt realized the cookies will rising & turn into bigger size -.-' okok next time gotto cut it into smaller size.



After the cookies cold, I started decorated my "Lovely Cookies". I was hungry at the time and I did "stealed"/ eaten one pink cookie. ;P. Lucky, my little "project" didnt fail and in deep it was tasted goooood! XD.

I also realized, those bakery making birthday cakes for customers I really amazing their skilled. It was damn hard to decorate just a simple design using the melted chocolates although it wasnt my 1st time , I need to hold it very very very still and even stop breathing, LOL just to make sure the chocolates line is good.



Once Chocolates set hard I need to do 2nd stage for wrote letters ;D

L A U R A - I actually sprinkle with whole grain from my breakfast cereal.

R A Y M O N D - Just plain chocolates.



Ta..ta...



Finally done with decoration. I was relief. phew... with the hard part bcoz those chocolates set hard very quickly in a few seconds.

okok next will be about presentation. I have been thinking how to make it looks more presentable and finally I got idea from flower banquets which I saw a lot couples carry it around whole Valentine day -.-'



I just use baking paper, aluminum wrap & ribbon. hahahhah I dont have to waste more money for the wrapping. lol



Instead the roses, Use cookies LOL pretty good ideas huh.... ;P and you also can eat it rather then see the flower dying each days. LOL



very emo feeling....XD

DESSERTS

I got the inspiration from Ray birthday cake, I using Chocolates leafs and 11 "Roses"

Why? 11 Roses, it got meaning behinds. In Chinese number "1" is one so "11" it means

You are the only ONE, I will Love you and in this ONE life.
