Basic Cake Recipes

Awal2 ni saya akan publish beberapa resipi [sy pun belum try lg ni] yg diambil drpd buku masakan omputih & juga dr website mereka. Banyak yg boleh sy pelajari. Nak copy dalam buku masakan [hard copy], bimbang takut terhilang atau tersilap letak pula. Salah satu sebab kenapa saya wujudkan blog ni ialah nak rekod kekal harta masakan saya di samping nak share dgn kawan2. Sampai sekarang saya masih rasa bersalah dengan bonda mertua saya kerana tak simpan betul2 koleksi masakan tradisional [handwritten] yg telah diamanahkan kepada saya sebelum ni...uaaarggghh..ni terjadi gara2 selalu pindah rumah laa..xtahu letak mana resipi2 tu. Sedih2..kali ni xkan berlaku lagi..dan saya amat berharap suatu hari nanti bila sy selongkar storage kat rumah tu, sy jumpalah hendaknya koleksi itu.
