Bao Is Baking?

to the man that had always been the backbone of the family,

Happy Birthday, Dad!

hah, guess what? i baked (again) today! i was going to make cupcakes for dad since it's his birthday today (5th May actually) but mum said why not make carrot cake cause dad likes carrot cake. so we made him carrot cake instead. haha. i tried the buttercream frosting recipe that i found on the net, it worked but the sugar can be cut down by half. YES, half is good. you don't want diabetes. mum's carrot cake recipe worked as well, she hadn't tried it though before this. wouldn't say i done this fully on my own, i mean, i would have turn the cake into a pile of zapped disaster if she didn't guide me. after all it's my 2nd time baking, i still need some assistance. heh. this is proof of me getting so unbelievably bored, resorting to baking had never been my top choice but i'm already doing this. what's going on?!

but anyways, the cake was great though icing was a little bit sweet for our liking and the cinnamon could be cut down as well. why am i talking like i'm a professional wtf.

i definitely didn't write the "happy" because "birthday" and "DAD" were written by me and there are such big differences. the "happy" is so.........wriggly. ta jie just don't have the patience.

i made 3 sides though, another side was made by ta jie. haha. :P a lot of space more for improvement, this was rather messy. but frosting the cake was definitely NOT easy. requires skills. i can't even make it....smooth, i gave up and ta jie finished the frosting job.

this is my dad, and he's 53 years old. (i think :/)

and this is my family. my brother looked so much like me we could definitely pull off as twins while both my sisters looked differently (that's what most people say, they always think we're FRIENDS). haha, and i had to take a pillow and cover because my garfield house tee looks horrible. :S

everyone at home is teasing me because i'm baking, wtf!
