Eid cake

InshaAllah you all had a good Eid. I had an okay one. The first day my siblings went to the park because the Majid was having a picnic. I stayed home and we cooked and baked. Anyways my niece really want a chocolate cake so I made a chocolate cake. It was a fudge  chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Everyone seemed to enjoy it but to me it was to sweet. However I'm not a sweet person so it could just be me.here are some pictures of the cake. See you next time.

Long time no write

Sorry I have not posted anything in a long time. Im posting this from my phone since it was driving me crazy not posting.Its not that I was busy or on vocation it was because my computer crashed.So I have been without my computer for about almost 3 months.Not fun at all. So can't wait for it to be fixed but the thing is I don't know how long that will take. Anyway my classes starts back Monday. This time I have biology 2,lab,and film. The school is still getting on my nerves but I'm trying to hang in there. My 2 youngest cousins are in town and have been for almost two months. They will be leaving on the 26 of this month. I have big plans for my life but I need a computer, car,and money. I just need to keep praying and hanging in there because if its meant for me to have it I will recive it. It may just not be in my time or the way I want it. Ramadan came and went so fast but I had a nice one. Also Eid was nice nothing big but spent some time with my grandma and watch movies with the fam. So what more can I ask for. I hope all is well with my lovely reads take care and till next peace and blessing.

Ice cream cake....school....Eid....

Ramadan has come to an end and Eid has come and went. Eid was Sunday August 19 2012. My mom invited some people over and we ate. Cooking and getting everything ready for the guest was hard. My back and feet where aching but, all is well.I made some cupcakes for the guest and they looked like this

                                  I made a flower out of m&m's (petals) and chocolate chips (center).

Monday I decide to make any ice cream cake (I actually thought of it a week ago) any ways I saw a picture of any ice cream sandwich cake on pintrest. I replicated the the ice cream sandwich cake by making a cake and taking away the ice cream sandwiches.What I did was bake a 8in square chocolate cake, froze it for 30min, and trimmed it. Next I filled the middle with chocolate ice cream, m&m's and chocolate syrup, iced the cake with buttercream frosting, and froze again for 30mins. Finally I iced the cake again topped it with m&m's and chocolate syrup.

The finished product was amazing.

Yesterday was my first day back to school and it was a crazy first day. The book store was packed with only 2 cashiers who where so slow. Then finale another lady comes and helps and she goes way faster then the other 2 cashiers. I spent $200 on 3 books! College books are way over priced. I have 4 classes this semester; chemistry, chemistry lab, Arabic, and math. This semester will be one of the craziest and busiest so I need to focus if I want to past and take something from it. I have a schedule that I made and notes of my goals so it looks good. Insha'Allah (god willing) I pass.

How way your guys week? Was it as crazy and busy as mine? Or was it even more crazy and busy?
Comment and let me know I want to know hows your life is going.
                                  
                                              Till the next post have a lovely blessed day.

Kaba cupcakes

On November 6,2011 was Eid Al-Adah.For those of you who don't know Eid Al-Adah is one of the Muslim holidays.Eid Al-Adah is about hajj and sacrifice;you sacrifice a sheep,lambs,and camel.The sacrifice of a sheep i most popular.I was asked to make cupcakes for a picnic that was on  Tuesday.I wanted to make cupcake toppers that represented Eid Al-Adah.I planed on making little sheep's and Kaba's ,but the sheep's did not work out so I ended up just making Kaba's.I'm going to share with you all some pictures I took and my inspiration.For those of you who are Muslim let me know what kinds of sweets you baked for Eid.I'll be more than happy to know.Bye for now

My inspiration

 The Kaba's are made out of fondant.I placed a thin whit strap of fondant across the top.I used Wilton sparkling gel to make the doors and other decorations.

 I baked 92 cupcakes and used 68 for the picnic.I made chocolate mint sprinkle and butter sprinkle flavor. 

                         I just piped vanilla butter cream on top and placed my topper on.
