My family and I always take
some time to cook or bake cakes and desserts during weekends and holidays
for a celebration like Birthday, Hari Raya Puasa, New year, Hari Raya
Haji and others. Sometimes we bake cakes whenever our cousins, friends or neighbors visits us and we will serve them with after the main course.

We usually make fondant cakes to sell and make a small business to support our financial.
Fondant is a creamy confection used as a filling or coating for cakes,pastries and sweets. It contains sugar, water and light corn syrup. To prepare it, just slightly stirred until it is an opaque mass of creamy consistency. If you want some taste for the fondant, just add some vanilla essence or lemon juice.
Fondant are easily shaped because the texture is very soft and it is easily getting cold or hard if we do not cover them under the warm cloth. If the fondant are hard to shape, we could beat it with mixer with a slow speed and add some water so that it could turning to soft texture.
We sell the cakes at a minimum price to whom which ordered the cakes. So far we already sell our cakes to our cousins, neighbours, close friends and also for wedding events.
The price is varies based on the number of tiers for fondant cakes:
2 tiers for RM200
3 tiers for RM280
4 tiers for RM320
