Jaime Kim Sweet Treats ...

... is one of my many Angan-Angan Mat Jenin. Many years ago, I dreamt of becoming a chef, a pastry chef to be exact, but nowadays ... I could hardly even stand the heat in my mum's or my own kitchen let alone making a career out of woks and ovens. [Sigh!]

I remember introducing the Jaime Kim Sweet Treats brand for the first time during Bazar Ramadan KPKT 2008. That time I was testing the market for my mini trifles, corn puddings and various mini milk puddings (dadih yang diubahsuai - ikut tema pulak tu, Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter). Malas nak bersaing dengan gerai-gerai jual lauk pauk, biskut raya and kelengkapan raya. Lagipun everytime people buka puasa they will normally look for sweet treats first.

Next gerai was a Sarawakian (happened to be my mum's students) who married a local and resided in Klang, selling umai and some of Sarawak "unpromoted" delicacies. I felt so good pretending to be a Chef even for a day hehehe

Taken masa bazar mula dibuka.

Last-last my puddings habis dulu and I tolong orang sebelah pulak jual lauk pauk ... hehehe

Tapi tak sangka lah pulak, my EO betul-betul interested in my cakes for her open house last Saturday. Hopefully from word of mouth lah and not pasal nak ambik hati. Nevertheless after Ramadan, I got a big order for my Summer theme puddings for a wedding. Then order for my kek Holiday Inn and Kek Lapis Masam Manis from lawyer friends. Sedangkan I decided for this year's Raya I only accept order from Ida. Huhuhu ... tak larat den. Sampai terabai seminggu blog akak nie.

I got 3 orders from Kak Zuraidah. One for my Holiday Inn, 2 for any layer cake. Hmmm ... to tell you the truth, layer cake ni jenuh nak buat. Pastu, I don't use electric mixer for my batter. Everything is from the scratch. And 3 cakes ... huhuhuhu, tak tido lah gamaknya. Hasilnya ... TARAAA ...

Kek Lapis Masam Manis

Kek Holiday Inn

Kek Lapis Evergreen - kering sedikit sebab tetido hehehe

Since these cakes were customer's order so I didn't cut it. Nervous jugak nak tahu sambutan kat rumah Kak Zuraidah sampai sanggup heret Mr Energy Saving and Guy Next Door gi open house Kak Zuraidah just for the sake of "cake tasting". Hehehe


Moral of the story, i must be missing all of my kaki - Emel, Jett, Kazen, Agnes (ada juak nama disebut), Yoyop, Nijah and Suna. Sampai terpaksa carik hobi di hujung minggu and dera 2 budak "innocent" jadi food taster. Kesian ho!

Kazen: Mun you all live in the vicinity of KL sure habis udah kedey-kedey makan di KL tok udah kita taste. Huhuhuh... miss the AF7 days.

rambomadonna said...

YoyoP: Tapi ndak boleh challenge dengan Kak Uji punya Chocolate Banana Cake dia ... OMG sedap macam makan secret recipe punya. Kalau di duduk KL lagi memang aku sanggup JV dengan dia. How's her cake business there?

Tapi betullah pandangan Memek, maybe kalau dia di Tawau, dia boleh dapat lagi ramai clients.

Nanti lah aku buat satu sebelum fly ke KK. Dalam otak aku sekarang, aku mau create satu resepi kek lapis baru - Chocolate Mint Layer Cake.

J, diskusi ko org mengenai culinary art (masak makanan dan kek) buat aku rasa lapar pada jam 3 pagi. Bagi aku hanya 2-4 jenis kek yg tak boleh miss -
kek coklat, cheese cake, bahulu dan batang buruk. Yg akhir tu masuk mulut dia reput sendiri, terus telan tak payah kunyah. Yg lain-lain aku tetap ngarap tapi tak ketagih. Aku pernah cuba buat kek coklat tapi jadi bahulu coklat. Tapi habis juga dihentam tamu sebgai kek musteri. Sekarang ni lagi ganjil lagi org suka sampai aiskrim dimakan dengan rendang, pisang goreng dgn sambal belacan.....selera alaf baru!!

rambomadonna said...

Norzah, that chocolate cake ada tak nanti at your open house? hehehe nak jugak try.

Yes taste orang sekarang pelik2 but one thing that I noticed lah ... the younger generation tak malu nak try various food compare to my generation di mana most stick to rice ... so sesuai dengan jiwa I yang sentiasa muda iteww hehehe

Abet said...

so u are coming back.... great!! leh kita semua gi outing makanssss.. yeah, i that DVD player oredy.. you want to get me somthing mah??

rambomadonna said...

Kazen: Pastikan kedey "elephant" ya bukak. Want to try there lah. Kempunan I that day. I was thinking to get u ear piece to cover that "sound" but memandangkan u oredi got "sound trouble" sik jadi lah hahaha
