Q's Birthday

I had a very busy week last week. It started with a request from my daughter to have a birthday party like a friend of her had. A simple one would do. Ideally, a simple celebration on D day should be sufficient. But when I looked at the calendar, I know that it would not be possible, because her birthday falls on the same day when the final exam started.

Not to be demoralised by that, I planned an early birthday party. Still a simple one, though. I marked the calendar and invited some of her closest friends from school. Designed an invitation card with my niece and had it printed it at a very low cost. I also arranged to have an edible image for her cake decoration. A chocolate cake but not brownies, was the request from the b'day girl. Alrighty, deary!

And so I just grab the idea of baking a TCCC, that is a Triple Chocolate Caramel Cake of Teh Uceu that I had in mind for quite sometime. At last I had the chance to try it out. I decorated the cake with an edible image of Q with Hannah Montana background. Grabbed the idea from a kitchen forum, NCC. That is really helpful.
The verdict? Not very good for weight watchers, but a heavenly chocolate for chocolate lovers... I guess the kids can afford it. :))


For the goodie bags, I decided to have all home-made stuffs, that is decorated cookies and chocolate lollipop. But...because my time management was not that good, I ended up delegating most of the cookies decorating and chocolate lollipop to my sister and daughter and my kitchen assistant as well :) That is: I can't expect to have a result that I wish for...hahaha...but that's alrite, really. We had fun making all those things and the experience is priceless.


Happy Birthday my Little Precious Girl! Eight is an early number to begin your teenage life. Enjoy childhood while you can! Smoochy...smooch...
