Sorry Sorry Sorry... Again, Sorry!

As it is stated on the title of this post, SORRY... I've been abandoning my blog for I don't know how long. A little bit update of my life, my small mac business is growing and my daytime job has been making me busy too. Some of you may not know, but I'm working in my dad's woven label company during the day (yeah, some of you may think, "What?" coz it's totally not related to food). After work, I have to go home and bake until almost midnight everyday. Yes, including Saturdays and Sundays. So, I've pretty much been working non-stop these past months.

Thousands of macs and hundreds of cakes have been baked since the last time I updated my blog. My current bestseller is red velvet mac and red velvet cake. I know they taste delicious, but I didn't expect people to like red velvet so much these days. Is it just because of some trend? Or do they really like the taste? I know I do, but who knows what others think :p I'm currently preparing for Miel's Christmas package. It's nothing fancy, just a box of 12 macs and my seasonal flavors will be cinnamon apple, peppermint chocolate, and strawberry'n cream. I actually planned to make some kind of hamper with cakes, cookies, macs, etc for Christmas. Too bad, I think it'll be more than I can handle since I'm baking all by myself.

Anw, I can't share my recipes right now, but as always I'm more than willing to share pictures of my creations :D Some of the may look boring, because I don't really have time to style them with props etc. I promise I'll take more interesting pictures when I have time, which I don't know when *sigh* I guess, it's time to say goodbye again, til later y'all and wait for my better-styled pics :p

Rose & Rose Lychee Macaron Tower

I just realized that I have abandoned my blog for quite some time -__-" Working 2 different jobs day and night has been keeping me busy and I haven't had weekends or free time for weeks because of that.. I think I've told you in my previous posts :p But I still love it! I especially love it when someone saw my blog and ordered a macaron tower from me for her daughter's birthday, yeayyy!! Yesterday was her daughter's first birthday and she asked whether I could make a 25x40 cm macaron tower for her. The flavors she chose were rose and rose lychee in white and pink. It was a lot of hard work, baking the mini macs (I needed 230 mini macs to cover the tower), filling them, assembling the tower, making the base and the decoration. Phewww, took me a looong time to finish it. I was kind of scared that the result wouldn't be satisfactory, but thank goodness my worry was not realized. I loved the mac tower! But still, the customer might not like it and also I had to think of a way to deliver it without damaging the tower. The next day, my dad drove the car, my mom and I held the tower, and off we went to the birthday party location. I was soooo nervous, but thanks to my dad's great driving skill, we (including the tower) arrived at the party site safely :D After the party was over, I received a message from the customer and she said she and her guests loved the tower and the macarons tasted great, yeayyy again!! All that hard work actually paid off, I was so happy :) Anyway, I have to get back to work, below are the pics of the tower and til later!

Birthday Cake Birthday Cake Birthday Cake

Busy, busy, busy.. Those are the only 3 words that can describe my condition at the moment. On top of working from 9 to 5, I have to bake macs and cakes after I get home. My mom said I acted like a squirrel on too much caffeine, lol.. Tiring? Yes. But I feel soooo productive and happy every day! That's why people, you gotta do what you love :D I am very thankful that my mac and cake orders are looking good so far. When I started, I didn't expect it to be this good, I thought I would just receive a few orders per week. Thanks to my friends and family who introduced my macs to their relatives, now my order log is enough to keep me busy every night :) Buuuttt, I'm not satisfied just yet. I really want to introduce delicious-tasting macarons to Indonesians, trust me guys, it's the next cupcake and it can be even bigger than that. Well, since I mentioned about my macs, I'll just write a short advertisement here :p
