Halloween Ghost House Dinner @Avillion Admiral Cove

6 Comments

Every year, on 31st October marks the actual day of Halloween. What is your plan today?

Over the centuries Halloween transitioned from a pagan ritual to a day of parties, costumes, jack-o-lanterns and trick-or-treating for kids and adults.

Halloween is celebrated in various and creative ways depending on each country’s cultural influences. The common yet popular among the children would be trick or treat and also dressing Halloween costumes.

This year, I am glad to be able to join a Halloween Theme Dinner.

In conjunction to this spooky celebration, Avillion Admiral Cove has organized a Ghost House Dinner which held at their Bourgainvillae Cafe.

Okay, I tried to put up the best in me… LOL!

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Demon, Grim Reapor, Vampire and not forgetting a Hantu Pocong! 😀

Jet was initially feeling excited to go to the party, then repeatedly hide behind me upon seeing the team. He claimed they look scary. LOL!

Pheww…luckily the ghostly path wasn’t that long. After the Jungle Walk, the guests were lead to the dining hall filled with ghostly props.

Baking Fun with Little One, Thomas & Friends Cupcakes

4 Comments

Honestly, I’m not really a baking person. LOL!
Because I felt there is so much hassle in baking. Or probably I am lazy. 😀

Recently, Jet asked me about baking cupcakes and he wanted to decorate the cupcakes.

Baking

I stumbled upon this Cupcake Decoration Workshop organized by Pastime, collaborated with Sugarcraft by mil which held at Book Garden Seremban Gateway.

I then signed up for Jet and myself. It was just a few hours workshop. But I noticed Jet enjoyed it and he did most of the steps by himself with a lil guidance from the teacher and me.

box

One day, when I was doing shopping at Jaya Grocer The Gardens Mall, I chanced upon this box of Thomas & Friends Cake Kit. It was placed at the baking section. The instructions sounded simple and easy with everything included in the box. (except egg). So, I took a box and decided to give it a try.

We did this over the weekend to fill our time.

Cake Mix Ingredients.

IMG_20181014_150104_resized_20181022_110943461

It says 10 minutes to make and 12 minutes to bake. So in total will be less than 30 minutes.

This pack contains ; cake mix, icing mix, decorations and cake cases.

Baking1

All I need was just a medium size egg and water. Then mix them up. Hand whisk the batter till creamy.

IMG_20181014_153350_resized_20181022_110944357

Spoon equal amount of batter into cake cases.  I only filled half of each cases.

IMG_20181014_154930_resized_20181022_110945375

Wow…it was golden brown and smells good too. (Pre-heat oven to 165°C Then baked in the center of oven for 12 minutes)

IMG_20181014_162648_resized_20181022_024925200

While letting the cakes to cool, lets do the icing mix. Just add cold water and mix until its smooth. Begin with adding 10ml water, then gradually add water if you prefer the icing to be more spreadable.

IMG_20181014_163118_resized_20181022_024925536

Yay, the cakes are now ready for decorations. Furthermore the cakes rise very well, aren’t they?

Baking2

Jet’s most interesting part was to decorate the cupcake.

Baking3

I spread the icing, while Jet did the decorations. Patiently arranged the stars. (Everything on the cupcake is edible, except for the cases ya)

Ta daa…all done! He was proud to tell that he made the cupcakes. LOL!
