Merry Christmas One and All!

It's beginning to look and smell like Christmas! In my kitchen that is! haha! I baked a fruit cake for my family and 30 jars of oat bran and raisins cookies for my sister and brother-in-law this week and the aroma that filled the kitchen was overwhelmingly wonderful!

Merry Christmas One and All! May you and your loved ones have a fantastic Christmas filled with love and joy! :) 2011 here we come! :D

It Has Been a Very Long While

Hello Hello!

I know, it has been a super long time since I updated my blog because school has been really hectic (projects, assignments, exams!) but now is finally the holidays so heres what I have been baking lately!

Here we have 2 batch of cookies for 2 different people! The 'Rayden' cookie and Yiting Cookie/ Happy Birthday! The 'Rayden' Cookie was for my good friend, Fang Ying's sister's son's first month. haha Okay, that was confusing, in short, her nephew! Fang Ying's sister, Daphne, saw this blog and ordered from me! :D

So glad that this blog is actually helping! You never really who is out there reading this until you get a some form of feedback! *hint hint* [there is a 'Whatya think?' button and check boxes you can click right after every post]

Daphne ordered 20 cookies from me and luckily she gave me about 1-2weeks notice so that I could do some pre-preparations because the week I had to deliver the cookies, was my exam week. So I was pretty stressed out! I actually baked the cookies after my Business Statistics paper, and delivered it a day before my Organizational Behavior paper O.O

Adding to that stress, during the same week my uni friend, Brandon wanted to order 1 cookie for his friend's, Yiting birthday! He only informed me 1 day before her birthday -.- Usually, the minimum order is 6 cookies because if you think about it, how do you just mix 1 portion of cookie dough and bake just 1 cookie in the oven? It's not very effective... But being the soft-hearted person I am, I couldn't say no, so I baked and decorated 2 cookies for him.

If I fail my exams, you can pay for my school fees next term :) haha Okay, just joking. :P

Here are pictures of baby Rayden, my good friends (Fang Ying and Hui Teng), Daisy and I! Rayden is such a cutieeee! We just kept taking pictures of him! On the top right corner is my trusty helper, Daisy! She helped me tie the ribbon on the bags because by the time I was finished it was 9am and I haven't had any sleep so I was dead beat!

However, after all said and done, the positive reactions I get from my friends when they see the cookies are priceless. It makes all that time and effort I put into every single cookie, all well worth it. :)

Thank You Daphne and Brandon for Your Support! I truly appreciate it!

BIY Cookie Class

Hellooo again!!
I have the bestest sister in the world :D My sister enrolled me for a 2 day cookie making/decorating classes as my birthday present and even better she attended the classes with me :D I was super duper happy :) It was fun baking and decorating with my Jie! She now knows how tedious and how much effort goes into every cookie! heehee!

THANK YOU JIE JIE!!! THIS WAS THE BESTEST PRESENT AND ESPECIALLY ENJOYED IT WITH YOUUU! :)

My cookie classmates and the cookies we decorated in 4hrs! My teacher is the lady second from the right, next to the pretty girl. No, the other pretty girl wearing black not white, if you know what I mean. HAHAHA!

My sister and I with our prettiest cookie! My sister's cookie is a wedding cake and mine is a star! :) My sis is trying to 'eat' her cookie...

Up-close picture! My most and only presentable cookie I dare to upload... haha :P

My sister did this wedding cake! I think it's really nice!! It is actually shiny with pearl dusting, but the camera couldn't capture it...

New Uni Customers!

Hello World!

I know, it has been a million years since I updated my blog... Not having much business lately :( Oh well... *hint hint*
Anyway here is an update of what I have been up to other than starting my university life!

My newly made friend from uni, Eleanor ordered cookies for her mother and colleagues. So nice of her! I printed customised cards to go with the cookies too! :) Thanks Eleanor! Hope the cookies were liked by you, your mom and your friends! :D

Awhile later, my secondary school good friend Jing Yi's NYP classmate, Hui Shan ordered cookies too! The customised cookies was a birthday gift for her friend and the double chocolate chip cookies were for her boyfriend. Thanks Hui Shan!

Cookie Jar Sizes!

I have been asked many times about how big are my cookie jars so I decided to take a picture since I had a order for the 3 sizes!

These are the 3 cookie jar sizes, large, medium, small. The weight of the cookies in the small jar is around 200g, medium 400g, large 600g :)

*Special THANKS to my friends Hui Teng, Justina, Jing Yi and Aunty Ling for being so supportive and ordering cookies from me :) I really appreciate it!*

It has been awhile...

Hello World!

It has been awhile since I have updated De Cookie Jar blog! I recently designed customised cookies for my mother's friend from Switzerland, Andrea! He wanted to give the cookies to his relatives in Switzerland when he leaves on Friday! I was given quite a short notice so I had to do it at night after my workshop that I am attending for 2 weeks. I reached home on Monday at around 9pm and when I settled down it was around 10pm. The baking wad quite fast but it was the decorating, the piping of the royal icing that took quite some time. Before I knew it, it was 3am!!! When I washed up and packed all the cookies it was already 4am. Omg, I had to wake up at 7am the next day! O.O

Oh well, nothing comes free! You have to work hard on it! :)

These are the customised cookies I did for Andrea! I did 2 colour themes, blue for the boys, red/pink for the girls :) Hope they like the cookies!
