Expecting the Unexpected

well I'm happy to share that all of my products both the "Etudiante" and "La Bella Vittoria"  on the first batch is already sold out! although i'm didn't produce in huge amount but it's still a big satisfaction for me.

I've been expecting sales since day 1 i launched them hahhaha. it's not about the money (well, it is, partly, all of those things we called passion needs commitment and money you know!) but also how my products gonna be accepted.

The unexpected twist was.... all the transactions wasn't happened thru my website T.T, the website i've been waiting so long to be done that i have to delay product launching for several months. transactions, in fact, happened via this blog and my online shop House of Humaira which i have owned and managed since two years ago, and transactions also happened offline via my store and friends that requesting to see my product then purchased it.
this fact makes me wonder, why...why...on earth i should keep waiting and waiting for the website to be done (if you asked me why it takes so long, i also want to know...have regret my decision on designing the web >_^).
Why on earth i should wait for months, while i could have launch and sold since months ago. I know traffic is also the issue here, the new website is the new kid in town, i know. and until now, maybe all of you can see, that there's still some errors in my website....sigh....

well, what's done is done.

Now I'm producing the second batch, the first sample wasn't so satisfying, so i request for alterations, hopefully the second one is charm so i can producing right away and the goods will be here to see.

all the best for you. all the best for me and my works (design+website+office+baking)!

Ciao!

Banana Cupcake & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hari minggu kemarin akhirnya mengbati kerinduan akan baking *asyik dan bikin banana cupcake & chocolate chip cookies. hari sabtunya, rada ngiler pas lewat counter Famous Amos, tapi gak beli. eh sampe rumah kok kepikiran yaa huhuhu ya sudahlah akhirnya bikin aja sendiri.

Alhamdulillah, semua pada suka, emang banana cupcake ini favoritnya suami dan Sarah. seharian itu Sarah nyemilin cookies sambil minum susu UHT dingin hihihi ngiri liatnya, mamanya pengen makan banyak gitu juga tapi inget lemak hihihi.

ini resepnya:

Banana Cupcake

Bahan:

• 1 telur ayam ukuran sedang
• 50 gr mentega tawar (suhu ruang)
• 75 gr gula pasir (diblender agar tidak perlu terlalu lama dikocok)

• 50 gr tepung terigu

• 1/8 sdt vanila
• 1/8 sdt baking soda
• 1/8 sdt baking powder
• 1/8 sdt kayu manis
• Sedikit garam
• 2 sdm susu
• 1 buah pisang ambon yang sudah sangat matang, haluskan dengan garpu.

Cara membuat:

• Ayak semua bahan kering, dan aduk dengan sendok sampai rata.
• Kocok adonan mentega yang sudah dibagi 2 sampai mengembang
• Pelan-pelan masukan campuran tepung, turunkan kecepatan mikser.
• Selang-seling, masukan susu dan pisang yang sudah halus.
• Terakhir masukan sisa campuran tepung, dan kocok sampai rata.
• Adonan cupcake pisang sudah siap, bila perlu masukan ke dalam plastik segi tiga dan tuangkan ke dalam cup kue.

 masukan ke dalam oven dan panggang selama 20 menit pada suhu 175C.   


Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bahan-bahan (diayak):

280gr terigu
30gr Coklat Bubuk (kalo bisa pake tulip atau Valrhona yg dark, enak bo)
 2sdm tepung maizena
2sdm susu bubuk
garam secukupnya

Bahan-bahan lainnya:
250gr unsalted butter
150gr gula kastor / gula pasir di blender
1/2sdt vanilla essence
1 kuning telur
100gr chocolate chip (andelan gw tulip :D)
100gr almond atau walnut cincang kasar (pas kemarin bikin gw gak pake, pgn coklat bgt aja)

Cara membuat:

• Kocok mentega dan gula sampai mengembang
• masukkan kuning telur, aduk rata. lalu masukkan vanilla essence, aduk rata.
• masukkan bahan-bahan yg diayak, aduk rata pake spatula aja.
• masukkan coklat chip dan kacang2an yg dicincang tadi, aduk rata lagi.
• buat bulatan2 ukurannya bebas aja tergantung mau cookiesnya segede apa nanti. taruh di loyang yg sudah dialasi kertas roti lalu pipihkan dengan jari. dikasih jarak karna pas di oven dia akan mengembang
• panggang di suhu 160c selama 25menit tgantung ukuran cookienya sih. kalo pinggirannya udah mengeras tandanya udah matang, nanti tengahnya pas didinginin mengeras kok, don't worry.
• biarin dulu di loyang selama 5 menit baru pindahin ke rak pendingin. setelah benar2 dingin baru simpan di wadah yg kedap udara.
• selesai deh....

nyaaammm nyaaam....

dan inilah penampakannya
