Red Velvet, finally!

Salam & Hi

My dear friend Yummy Mummy & family came for iftar at our place last Tuesday, just 2 days before we left for balik kampung. It was superb! We had great time enjoying the grilled ikan keli and cencaru (dish of the day!), all the nice Malay kuehs from Ramadhan bazaar, the pure & sweet Air Tebu (kat Doha takde nih!) the bunga api, the special desserts and of course, each other's company.



I made the Red velvet for desserts....finally! Yes yes..this is the first time of me making red velvet. The recipe is taken from  Martha Stewart's Cupcakes book, again. I think it's very easy to understand and follow, unlike some recipes I found online. Click here for recipe.

I used 1/2 tsp of  No Taste Red Gel Icing Color from Wilton to get this colour.


I love the balance of sweet and sour in the cupcake. The cupcakes were also very the gebus.... ;D
Again, the recipe by Martha didn't let me down. Hmmm, now I'm in love with the book even deeper :P




Some of the menu for the iftar, in clockwise: Kerabu Daun Selom, Cencaru Sumbat, Udang goreng, Keli Panggang ; )
Looking at the pics above, overall, it was East  met West menu for the iftar. Am glad our guest loved them all. As for the kids, nothing lifts the Hari Raya spirit like the bunga api and little 'pop pop' firecrackers did...Yay Yay..Selamat Hari Raya!
