Assalamualaikum..

My first attempt to frost a cake. How was it? Ugly...yeah i know hahah...Its my latest hobby. My plan is to learn how to frost a cake beautifully.

Of course u do. I did deco a few cakes after this one, i will show u the picture later okay.

So back to this cake. You already knew the cake right, its popular. In fact, i already had a few orders from my colleague. Alhamdulillah they didn't mind about the ugly deco hahahah.

Burger Roll


Salam all,

This is our quick dinner recipe. Very simple, you can use any cooked meat u have or any leftover will do. I used my homemade beef patty to make this roll. Actually i felt boring with regular burger bun so i made a change to use tortila wrap. The good thing is, when i grill my stuffed tortila wrap, it made my burger taste so light & crunchy. Its full of vegies & my kids loved it. Here the recipe...

Burger Roll
  • 2 pcs tortilla wrap
  • 2 slice cheddar cheese
  • 2 cooked beef patties, sliced
  • 2 pcs salad leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, remove the seed & cubed
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1 package button mushroom
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Mayonaise
Melt the butter in the frying pan. Add capsicum, mushroom & black pepper, stir fry until the vegetables soft. Set aside.
Take the tortilla wrap, place the cheddar cheese, put the beef patty on top of the cheese. Put 2 tbsp of cooked vegie & top with salad leaves & tomato.
Add mayonnaise, carefully roll the wrap & grill in the frying pan for 1 minute each side.
Cut the roll & serve.
