Hey all I am in Singapore right now. Came back to see my family and surely I am missing my daily dosage of Kandy
Despite being here *well my body is but my mind is somewhere else * I have been playing in my head preparation for BLACKFOREST CHEESECAKE!!
This is putting waaaaaaaaaaay too much stress for me. I am also looking out for coffee extract here in Singapore, I even visited Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf but they do not carry it here in Singapore. I will still keep a look out for it otherwise I will go with Jozzie's advise.
So I am psyching myself to prepare for Mr K's bird-day. I want the cake to be the best he has ever tasted so ja, his special day is next week and I will SURELY KEEP A REPORT OF IT!! I will be back to Bangkok on Tuesday a couple of days short which gives me time to make this.
So join me as I keep a track of my anxieties/dilemmas/bloopers etc of achieving my project!!
Any inputs, feedbacks, advises, notes, love-notes are always more than welcome
Plus I can always do with more lucks, hugs and any positivities you want to send my way
Aisah, sweet Tweety Meadow lark. Relax, Relax. Listen to the sweet song of your meadowlark and relax. Stress is not a good ingredient for any recipe.
We are all here for moral support, help, tips and LOVE. You are totaly surrounde by LOVE. So just KNOW that Mr Kandy's cake is going to be the best ever!!!

Hi Peaches4Ever, you are the sweetest thing! I thank you for your lovely note. It is a Saturday evening here and I will be sleeping soon.
As you said - 'Stress is not a good ingredient for any recipe', so tomorrow I will be shopping but boo-hoo since my card's been suspended and my daily allowance is only 800 I cannot splurge
Nonetheless, it sure will take my mind off the cake. I am thinking of coming back to Bangkok on Monday evening. I need to clean my dehydrator so I could 'melt' some cacao butter for this lovely cake - I know it will turn out to be fabulous
I was talking to MJDB earlier and she mentioned she might make a black forest cake (based on my strawberry shortcake recipe) next week too. Sooooo, it got me a-thinking...
How about we have a cake making marathon!?! You know, like the RFC Cake Making Support Group. lol
We could then all post our creations in a thread.
That way, you wouldn't feel so alone, Aisah girl, with the task at hand.
Yah! I'm in! to help poor 's'tweety bird in her anxciousness. Which day are we making the BLACK FOREST CAKE? Aisah, don't feel alone, stressed out, just relax and do and enjoy??? Joz
I am so blessed to know such loving souls! You guys showed such compassion to me and that to me is the highest form of love!!!
Ich liebe you you YOU!!!!
Know what, I feel so relaxed now that I know I have some people out there making the cake along with me even though I know those people out there are mostly cakexperts but it feels good already...... and you know what?? Now I cannot wait to make the cake
Okay his birthday is this coming thursday and I will start to make the cake on wednesday as advised by the cakexpert Jozziezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
She said to leave it in the freezer and into the fridge an hour before *see I remember all details* serving
Thank you for wanting to be a part of this project to keep me calm and sane
Yes we will all have to take a picture of it.... and will post in here as RFC's first Cake Making Support Group
even though I know those people out there are mostly cakexperts but it feels good already
Not me! I've only made cake a few times so I'm no expert, believe me! Plus, all that really matters is that you have fun in the process; then it will be a definite success!
Ok, so Wednesday for you is Thursday for us, right?
I'm hoping to get a chance to go shopping before that so I can buy cherries and join in the BF party but worst case, I'll make the banana chockie cake instead.

Ooo I am so excited, can I join?
I have a cake to make too as it is Brents b-day on Sunday (next, the 21st), please Carmella, can you tell me more about this banana chockie one?
OOooooo I love me some banana chocolate ANYTHING!!!
So the plan for now though is another divine BF cake with Aisah yeah?
AISAH - humbly asking your forgiveness for all the times I have misspelled your lovely name and I AM working on an Adoption topic response but the nights have been rough for a loooooong time here - Caleb is cutting 2 lower teeth, and 2 molars (on one side? ) with possibly the other 2 on their way!!! *sigh, he is crying as I type this
Ok, so Wednesday for you is Thursday for us, right?
I believe Wednesday for Aisah is Tuesday for us in North America.

Know what, though it would be much more fun to have all making a re-visiting of BFCcake however if you have no access to the ingredients no fret.... actually there is a hint of guilt in me for dragging you guys along to make this BFCcake, so even if you cannot or maybe you have done it and would prefer to do something else so please by all means do so. Just any cake is good enough. Apart from being Mr K's project, it could also be a tribute to aisah making Mr K's first RAW cake
