Annual Bake Off


I love to do things with the oven. But seeing that I don't have an oven, i can't do much.Must remember to bug MBB for an oven. Anyway, so my annual bake off for Raya started today at Mak's place. I like this honey cornflakes kuih that I make every year. Simply because they are so easy to make. This year decided to use these colourful cupcakes holders instead of the mundane brown ones. MBB says they look like pinadas... Festive, my love...they look festive.... Anyhow, these aren't the only ones i'm making, but didn't manage to get to get snaps of them. Making kuih with mak and my sister always makes the raya feeling come alive. I think even when i have my own oven, i'd still go over to mak's place.... Well... back to baking.....
