Home bakery Do's & Don'ts

Baking homemade cookies so that they have your desired texture, appearance, and nutritional value requires more than easy cookie recipes. It takes some understanding of the baking process, tools, techniques, and ingredients.
It also helps to follow these five rules:


1. Understand the nature and characteristics of each ingredient - flour, eggs, fats & oils, sweeteners, leaveners, flavors, and even decorating materials like fondant, marzipan - Each contributes to the appearance and texture of homemade cookies in its own way.

2. Measure baking ingredients accurately by using proper tools and techniques. This is part of "mise en place" - a French term means accurate selection and measurement of ingredients.

3. Do not overmix your cookie dough. Overmixing encourages gluten development, resulting in dense and tough cookies.

4. Do not overbake. Closely monitor oven temperature and baking time.

5. Always bake your cookies with passion. :-)

As what people been saying, u cannot teach anyone the fifth steps. Enjoy your bakery!

To make working from home...WORK!

This is an article I read on this site.

Just a simple tip for those intend to work from home or start a home-biz.

I see a lot of misconceptions about working from home. Many people think that what happens is we barely make ends meet, but it’s ok because we can get up at 11:00, put in a few hours of work, then spend the day doing whatever we want.

For most people who work at home I guarantee you that they work more than 8 hours a day and it is much harder than it looks. I’ll post about this separately, but for now, here are 3 good tips to make working from home actually work for you.

Create a work routine
This may be an essential factor for success, so despite the relative freedom you have, I suggest settling into some routine or another.

The net will still be here tomorrow
A lot of people, especially bloggers think they have to be alert at all times.

Find the tools for your work
Whatever you’re doing there are tools to do it better. Learn some keyboard shortcuts, look through the program options, perhaps there’s something you can use, read documentation and so on. If you learn 2 new things every week, that’s 104 tricks per year.

Juggle between family, work & business

Hi,

Just a quick update for my 'long abandoned' blog. It's been awhile since I last update. Now that I am almost fully occupied (hehe) to juggle between work, business & family. It's been a good 'headache' though. Anyway, all is going well for me at the moment. Now that my hubby will help me as co-writer for this blog (hehe), I hope this blog won't be abandoned. Thank you to all of you of course.

All the while I've been busy with my cookies business and also my day job. As u can see, I have update my other blog, mypinkdaisy & resipi emak. I have listed down all the latest cookies prices & all the latest offering. Watch out for the Rich Temptations (Dark Chocolate Chip) Cookies & Crunchy Oatmeal & Raisins Cookies. Yummy!

Cookies Gift Set

It's been a while since I last update. It's all because of Hari Raya. hehe. Finally free. So now I would like to share activities during the holiday. One of the order was a gift set for Hari Raya.

The request was from my dear friend Husna. She's in Australia. This is the first year she didn't celebrate Hari Raya with her dear family. So she request 2 gift sets for her family in Malaysia. You can see below the pictures of the gift sets. My first gift sets. Hope she likes it.


Cookies before insert into the box.

The arrangement inside the box.

Pineapple tart (small jar), Chocolate chip cookies(transparent container), others are Hari Raya cookies selected by Husna.

This cute jar filled with the pineapple tart (courtesy of my sister in-law).

This is the size for 170 gram cookies.

This is the pineapple tart. I find it really hard to find the traditional tart like this one.

This is the gift set box. Complete with Hari Raya greeting card. Really cute! (hehe)

My First Cookies

Growing up seeing my mother bake variety type of bakery. From cookies, buns, bread, cakes, etc. It's very delicious (and make me gain some weight too...hehe). That somehow trigger the interest in me. However, as I was busy at my boarding school, I never managed to try baking at home.

Well, (few years later!) this is my first cookies. I baked the cookies during the weekend. Hmmm...It's probably the only free time at the moment. My first chocolate chip cookies. My hubby get the first taste of it. TQ dear.
