the butter -layered chiffon for Aryya with chocolate ganache
The pasta from maklong, lontong and ayam sambal from nenek
I should be grateful for twins to be loved dearly by my in laws..including their Nyang (great grandmother), Nyaii (grand-auntie), Mak long (auntie)..and the list goes on... I know if anything happened to me, my kids will be in good hands.
My parents in law do not have many cucu...3 migrated and live in the States, one in Ausralia..so basically they really devoted the love to Allysha and the twins...initially I was a bit uneasy with the whole situation, it took years for me to finally realize...it's ok to share the love..and as soon as I'm willing to share with them..things get easier...alhamdulillah...:)
Ok..that's not what I intended to share here...it supposed about Twins who just turned 4 on August 30th..(they couldnt wait for merdeka day..same allysha on 3rd July, on eve of US independence day)
Since their birthday this year falls on fasting month, we decided to just send the party packs to school..but Nyaii (grand auntie) and Mak long decided to hold a small family gathering and bake the cakes...
I'm telling you it was a painstaking effort for them as both are amateurs...from the process of combining few layers of cake to get the right size to fit the pictures of barbie doll and thinkerbell..which at the end the pictures broke and they had to resort to other decorations....i just shook my head..definitely I would just call SugarPinkIcing for that amount of works...
Nenek was busy half a day in the kitchen preparing lontong..(the twins love lontong so much)...while preparing the cakes, a few of my auntie's colleagues dropped by, she proudly telling them she was preparing for her twins cucu's birthday...
Overall..the birthday might not be the glamorous one, but I know all the neneks, atoks, pakciks and makciks were very happy....the twins? well as long as there were gifts and people singing happy birthday..that would enough for them:)
We celebrated their birthday 2 days earlier since atok and nenek are going for umrah..so on the day itself (30th August) we celebrated again, this time we took them out for dinner..luckily I had recovered from high fever just in time to celebrate their birthday
@chillis : I asked her to smile..over-smiled pulak..
The twins saw this cake at Subang Empire Gallery..they insisted to have it..so another cake, quite small..butter cake with sugar cream icing, enough for 3 of them...
until next time..take care peeps.
