My Little Brother Lace Wedding Cake

18 May 2014, was my little brother's wedding day.
I made this wedding cake for him.
It was really happy since my father could witness the wedding.

This cake is 75 cm in height, with purple as the main colour and the character of Javanese bride as the decoration.
It took me two weeks to finish this cake since I could only work on this cake after I got home from the office.
.

These two Javanese wedding character was made a month before the wedding to make sure it would be set on the wedding day, since I had to bring it from Jakarta to Jogja.

The gold colour was painted using a small brush.

Below, I combined flower pattern and icing sugar to make the lace texture.

For the bottom lace, I made it using mold, also the birds and the ribbons.

Other than that, including the layer, I made it myself.

The bottom lace, I made it using icing sugar. By using a brush, I drew the flower and made the lace effect. 

I was so happy to finish this cake.

Martabak Bolu Mini

Seneng rasanya menemukan resep ini di sini
Sekarang aku bisa membuatnya sendiri kalau tidak sempat keluar.
Lebih praktis, karena ukurannya sudah personal.

Aku beberapa saat lalu membuat beberapa resep untuk suguhan saat adikku menikah.
Pagi pagi mesti dirias, jadi buat sarapan para pager ayu dan penerima tamu.
Selain martabak mini, saat itu aku juga membuat poffertjies.
He he, pulang pulang dari gedung resepsi aku lihat sudah tandas ... piringnya kosong ... berarti mereka suka ... asyik.

Felt so happy to find this recipe here 
Now I can make it myself, especially when we don't have time to go out.

Roti Pisang / Banana Bread

Sepertinya harus lap lap dulu, nyapu lantai dan ngepel, terbayang kalau rumah 3 bulan tidak dikunjungi.

Setelah sibuk dengan pernikahan adik bungsu, pemilu Presiden (he he he nggak ada hubungannya ya), sekarang siap siap nulis lagi. 

Sembari berdoa semoga Indonesia diberi kedamaian, dalam episode menunggu 22 Juli 2014 pengumuman KPU serasa lama sekali. 
Dan berdoa juga untuk Palestina, semoga kedamaian juga diberikan untuk saudara saudara di sana.

Balik ke topik :-), dari dulu roti pisang adalah favoritku. Mau pisang coklat, mau pisang keju, mau pisang saja, hmm semua suka.
Yang penting adalah rotinya, rotinya mesti empuk dan halus seratnya.
Ada yang sharing resep di bawah dan hasilnya benar benar seperti roti yang aku mau, harum baunya setelah keluar dari oven, empuk mesti sudah 2 hari dan yang pasti tanpa pengawet.

After being busy with my youngest brother wedding, the election of President (he he he it actually has nothing to do with anything), now I am ready to write again. 

While praying for Indonesia, that peace will always be given to my country, especially regarding the result of election of our president and also praying for the Palestinians.

Back to the topic, first, banana bread is always my favorite. Either chocolate banana, banana with cheese, original banana, all are my favorite as long as the bread is soft, moist and have smooth texture.
