KEK LAPIS JOHOR - MAHARANI KEK LAPIS

Ramadhan Qareem untuk semua sahabat pengunjung...semuga kedatangan Ramadahan Al-Mubarak ini dapat kita lalui dgn penuh keimanan dan kesabaran. Semuga kita semua dapat mempertingkatkan amal ibadah kita dan sama2 lah kita berdua agar Allah menerima segala ibadah kita. Dan sama2 lah kita beringat bahawa kita bukan hanya berpuasa menahan lapar dan dahaga sahaja...kita harus juga mempuasakan semua pancaindera kita...mata..dari melihat perkara yg boleh mendatangkan dosa...maybe ada yg tidak terfikir, kita menjaga pandangan mata kita bila berada diluar rumah..but sebenarnya didalam setiap rumah ada "objek" yg boleh mendatangkan banyak kemudaratan kepada mata kita...Apa ye? Jawapannya ialah televisyen...cuba kita fikirkan berapa banyak rancangan yg mempamerkan perempuan2 yg tidak menutup aurat...setakat tidak menutup aurat itu boleh dikatakan "biasa" lagi...but yg berpakaian seksi dan menjolok mata lebih banyak daripada sikit...tidak termasuk lagi adengan2 yg menaikkan nafsu..so rakan rakan sekelian..watch out apa yg kita dan keluarga kita tonton...Mulut kita juga haru dijaga....jgn samapai ia mengurangkan pahala puasa kita.....penat cik kiah berpuasa...but bila tenguk rakan sepajabat order kuih banyak sgt, kita mula "menggosip" dibelakang mereka...kan dah kurang pahala puasa tu..so sama2lah kita beringat bahawa puasa dibulan Ramadhan bukan setakat menahan lapar dan dahaga sahaja//Semuga ramadhan ini dapat membantu kita membentuk diri sebagai seorang muslim yg taat pada Allah..amin...



Ok...sempena kedatangan syawal ini...dengan sukacitanya dimaklumkan lahir lah MAHARANI KEK LAPIS DAN COOKIES...Kenapa Maharani...? Kenapa bukan Pantai Kundur ke..where I live now...or kenapa bukan Melaka ke? Well..I have decided it's MAHARANI coz kek lapis yg I buat badalah dari resipi tradisional Johor...Initially when i started 2 years ago..I started with kek lapis serawak..but then I realised terlalu banyak kek lapis Serawak yg membanjiri Semenanjung...so I tried to beralih arah..I orng semenanjung..so I have to come out with something from semenanjung..maafle ye orng2 Serawak..Kek lapis Serawak memang sedap but malangnya yg sampai kesemenajung majoritinya yg harga murah...and bila murah dah tentu kualitinya pun asal boleh aje...Infact ada seorang kawan I yg buat kek serawak menasihati I supaya mengubah resipi I menjadi resepi yg boleh dijual...her suggestion was..kurang kan telur, guna marjerin murah..and boleh jual RM10/piece...orng mesti beli punya...Well..I don't take that....in order to cari rezeki...bukan duit sahaja yg menjadi matlamat kita...kerdhaan Allah dan keberkatan rezeki itu yg amat penting..Memang orang akan beli kek yg murah..but if rasanya tak sedap dah tentu orng yg beli akan rasa ditipu...duit dapat but buat apa kita cari marah orang...Tak apalah..to me quality is very important...and bertoalak dari itu....kebaniran kek serawak yg murah disemenanjung I tried to mendapatkan satu kelainan..I came up with kek lapis Johor...Haaa....jgn terperanjat...ada ke kek lapis Johor...? Orang Johor sendiri ada yg tak pernah tahu ada kek lapis Johor...My MIL's favorite is kek lapis Johor..every raya mesti banyak yg dibelinya..so dari situ..came an idea..why dont I come up with kek lapis Johor...kebangaan orng Johor..

Apa bezanya kek lapis Johor dengan Serawak? Personally...kek lapis Johor lebih lembab..kerana banyak menggunakan kuning telur and kurang manis..and the best thing ..as a cake decorator...my cake lapis is still one mof my art..i'm very particular with the lapisan...lapisan harus sama dan kecil...Yup, i'm very fussy about the garisan...and it can be seen from all the photos here.....

Kek lapis for marhaban

Mesti ramai yang tertanya-tanya kek apa yang didalam gambar ni...pada yang tidak kenal...let me introduce you to Serawak layer cake....to be exact...Serawak Roll...and these are some of the designs yang I buat untuk tempahan "beg jajan marhaban". Serawak roll is my latest product and I learnt it from my darling sifu of kek lapis...darling Mami....she is really an expert in Serawak layer cake...and pernah tinggal di serawak for 30 years..the best thing about her...dia tak lokek ilmu and she is so cool for her age...she is 64...She taught me and my munchkin everything about kek lapis and Serawak roll....we thank Allah for the chance to berguru dengan mami...she is really a jewel...To Mami..may Allah kurniakan kesihatan yang baik and dipanjangkan umur...amin



Pada sesiapa yang berminat untuk jadi pengedar roll Serawak..you can contact me directly....last raya..I banyak jual in bulk to pengedar2 kuih esp di JB and Singapore...so maybe ada pengedar dari KL yang berminat...do contact me...I'll be busy baking roll serawak for this hari raya haji season...and mungkin ada yang berminat untuk dijadikan buah tangan untuk tetamu seperti dalam gambar ni...kecil tapak tangan nyiru saya tadahkan..tapi mesti in advance coz...I'll make sure the cake is very fresh..tiada bahan pengawet yang digunakan...and it is very time consuming to make a complete roll. You can also request for custom colors if mahu dijadikan buah tangan untuk perkahwinan or majlis2 yang lain...he..he..he..senang cerita...most of my cakes are custom made



Notice the lapisan? I try my best to have all the geometry corak bertemu and lpisannya sama besar..that's the beauty of this cake..to me everything about my cake is about art..I just want everything to be beautiful and I'm very happy if my customer cakap...sayang nak makan..cantik sangat...bila dengar ungkapan begitu mesti I rasa happy sangat...hilang segala penat...


Pada sesiapa yg berminat nak jadi pengedar, do contact me directly...and pada siapa yg ingin tahu pasal buat kek lapis can just email me..insyaAllah eventhough I'm not an expert...I will share my knowledge seiklhas hati..coz I believe when Allah dah kurniakan kita ilmu yang bermanfaat...we have to share it...and that's what we call as investment for akhirat.

I'm back and Selamat Hariraya.

Selamat hari raya for all my muslim sisters and brothers...For the whole month of Ramadhan, I had never updated this blog..due to time constraint..I was so busy with my hariraya orders...kek lapis / layered cakes especially. Yup, I did hundreds of Serawak roll..and that was my first experience and it was fun...I aslo bake the normal layered cakes...prunes, mixed fuits, betawi, cheese, choc and the very famous hawflakes layered cakes. So for those who are interested to be an agent please contact me personally.

These are the first 100 of Serawak rolls...by now I have lots of different patterns already...


My normal layered cakes...the hawflakes are the favorites





This special layered cake was specially bake for my VIP corporate hampers..that was also one of the reasons why I was so busy during the month of Ramadhan..making corporate hampers..and I would like to thank you my dearest friend Emilda @ Dot for having the trust in me to do the hamper for her company...Emilda Architect. When she placed the order she had no idea how the hampers were going to look like...everything based on the trust that I will give her my best..no compromise on customers satisfaction..will post about the hampers later



It was a month which I barely had enough sleeps..It was very tedious to do the Serawak roll..starting from baking the cakes, cutting the patterns in small pieces, "gluing" the cut patterns, wrapping the cakes with the outer skin and finally the packaging..the whole process was very tedious and time demanding..and I thank Allah for the good health during Ramadhan.

Other than the kek lapis, I also had my other normal cakes...birthday cakes...and I had my orders till the eve of hariraya...maybe some of you might be thinking that I was all out for money...It is a big "NOPE"...actually I was trying to busy myself and forgetting about my sadness...the first time celebrating Ramadhan and Hari Raya without my darling mum. Only those who have the same experience will know how it feels...I never care for hari raya..this is the first hariraya in my life where I never bother about..infact I had the dates mixed up....I was lucky the lady at my regular florist where I bought my wekly orchids for my mum's grave reminded me that we would be celebrating hariraya a week earlier than the date I had in mind...then only I realised why my customers kept on reminding me about their cakes..but Alhamdulillah I managed to fulfill all the orders on time.

So by baking the cakes, I didn't have the time to cry my heart out...actually lesser time for me to cry..nangis tetap nangis...can't explain or describe perasaan rindu pada my darling mum...that was the main reason why I made myself busy...however, Alhamdulillah I still have my darling abah around and it was very sad to see how he missed my mum..well, all in all hariraya did not mean anything to me this year round...as what I told my munchkin and my brother, hati mati untuk beraya..guess better stop here before I start to cry.
