My Experiment in making Bread & Buns

On Sunday, i was determine to make bread, so i ended up wokeup early on that day since i need at least 4-5 hours to finish this whole process. It was pretty tiring and to add salt to the wounds, my hand mixer broke!! damn u hand mixer, only serve me for a month and dah rosak. I was frustrated, but it did not deter my spirit to make the bread. So apa lagi? i used my strong right hand to make the dough, to punch it, to roll it!!

luckily, it turned out great and i'm in love with the turkey ham with cheese bun!! it was awesome!!

so gonna do it again next time =)

Choc Walnut Brownies

This is actually not the 1st testing brownies, the first i actually gave to zakiah, felt bad for her since i was not satisfied with the first one!! its not thick enough and maybe a lil bit dry, so i gave to zakiah =) so the next day i decided to make this again, and increase the quantity of the stuffs and wallaaa....!! a far better brownie i guess, its moist and dense yet not too sweet.

Most of them like the not so sweet taste complimented with Dark Choc flavour! Sara said, she likes what i bake since all of them is not too sweet and just nice, making it 'tak muak'. so, what are you waiting for, take your phone and call us to place your booking.

Banana Almond Bread Butter Pudding

 

Happy Deepavali to all my Hindu friends, Aishwarya Rai and Amisha Patel. May the light festival brings all of us together. Feeling2 bollywood! Well I received this order from one of my constant orderer!! Kak Naqi seems to be attached to this bread and butter pudding, this is her 2nd order with me, we are very delighted to serve her.

This bread butter pudding is a delighful treats with decadence of almonds and bananas with hints of cinnamon!! it is among my best signature since its soft, fluffy and moist due to the waterbath baking method. This dessert comes with a choice of vanilla custard or chocolate custard sauce since banana goes well with chocolate.

Disclaimer : I do not provide the casserole ok!! (xcukup kaya nak kasi casserole skali), these casserole is given by Kak Naqi earlier, for normal order i will use aluminium baking tin. Or if u are living nearby wangsa maju, u can provide the casserole to me!!

The Not so Great Looking Rainbow Cake

I made this on sunday morning to cater for Zakiah's Father Birthday cake and farah's wedding cake, so i planned on making a butter rainbow cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh cream layer in the middle. but somehow i failed when it comes to the decoration. So i had to cancel the order with Zakiah, so sorry Zakiah, i dont want to risk spoiling the cake on ur dad's birthday.

So, today i brought the cake to the office but suprisingly Sara and Nadirah love it especially the frosting, its nice and not so sweet. Well to be fair, the taste is good except for presentation wise, i failed in icing the cake itself. So last night has been 'You Tube'ing on the perfect way to iced a cake. I've found it, and will try to do it again!

Bak kata pujangga,
"Failure is for those who fail to try"

Bread and Bun Class

Last week on Saturday, I managed to go to At19 Culinary Studio for bread and bun making class. I came into this by buying this cheap coupon from Groupon for RM150 for 3 hours class instead of RM400. So its a huge bargain and it would be great to learn how to make soft n fluffy buns.

As expected, i was the only male apart from Chef Anand, so i was the spotlight of the day and they took my picture a lot. I also made new friends there, feeling makcik2 sangat kat sana!! Listening stories bout their children and their husband. Bak kata didie, kakak paham!!

So the class was great and awesome, the buns turned out fluffy and very nice! so planning to do the buns this week, will wall up Anand if i failed!! hahahaha

Fruit Tarts for Siti Sara (bukan penyanyi)!!

Received order from my colleague Sarah on the Fruit Tarts!! It is suppose to be delivered on Saturday, but somehow both of us can't find any available time to meet since i have Bread and Bun making class tomorrow. So she wants it today, i had to rush to Jusco yesterday to buy the fruits and made it ASAP, its like The Secret Life of Joejo mission!

So, i finished everything by 1 am and i hope sarah is another satisfied client of HavenBits since she already approved on the packaging!!

Well, as usual feel free to order ok(jangan tengok saje,LOL)!! :

Fruit Tarts : RM 30 for 16 pieces + 2 pieces (free)

Hola Papi(sebut betuk-betul) and Mami!!

Hi everyone,

I've been getting complaints from friends in Twitter that my blog has nothing yet!! Well, to be fair i've been delaying it because my beloved DSLR is at home and i've no time to transfer the pictures. Currently HavenBits is kinda small but its progressing. Received orders from friends almost every single week which is a good sign for me since i would like to see it progress. Thousands of thanks to those who believe in me!!(mengalir air mata sambil mendengar lagu Menaruh Harapan - Zaiton Sameon)

A friend actually suggested me on putting a 'Google' image of cakes,tarts that i'm able to bake instead of having to make it every single week for picture purpose!! True, she got a point there, but i believe my small and humble business should be honest! I want to put my own picture, so please bear with me ok!! i'll add everything that i baked from time to time, and do not afraid to ask me if i'm able to bake as your preference and needs!! Like farah & Zakiah enquiring about Rainbow cake!! will definitely posted the picture by end of this week!(Rainbow Cake Project)

My idea of HavenBits is to deliver an awesome desserts( Cakes, Tarts, Cupcakes and etc) in term of taste and presentation wise. So if people asked me if i can do fondant or royal icing cake, i will definitely say no! I dont like the idea of cake nowadays especially wedding cakes. They are indeed very beautiful, alluring but its stiff, dry and inedible. Its like looking at Late Princess Diana's life, which is wonderful, awesome and rich but inside she's lonely and miserable. So thats the fondant and royal icing cake!!boooooo to them!!

So guys, stay tuned on my future updates!!
1) Bread and Buns Class
2) Rainbow Cakes Project
3) Almond Banana Bread Butter Pudding

Pink Velvet CakePops

Have you heard of cakepops? No!! How about lollipops or Chupa Chup!! Its similar except for it is made from cakes. I tasted the first cakepops from Paper & Toast made by Warren. It was very nice and brilliantly done. At first, i have no intention to make this cakepops, my early intention that week was to make Pink Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting, but the cuppies turned out to have dense cakey texture, i blamed the flour and cold butter, to make things worst, i even spill the pink colouring on the floor!! Damn u cupcakes!!

So to avoid frustration, i mashed the cakes and turned them into cakepops(takes longer time to make this than normal cupcakes) and brought it to the office and they like it soo much, some even takes two!! its like a fairytale, happy ending!! i feel like a princess(quoting a parody about Memoir of a Geisha in Youtube)

So lets look at the price :
Flavor : Pink/Red/Purple/Green, Velvet Cakepops, Cheesecakepops, Mint Chocolate Cakepops, Chocolate Cakepops
Price : RM 48
Quantity : 30

HavenBits Fruit Tarts

This yummy Fruit Tarts are great for all occasions, they are refreshing with a hint of chocolate sweetness. I made this first batch as a sample for my office colleagues and they love the crunchiness of the pastry and the not so sweet custard, we dont call it fruit tarts if the custard overpower the fruits rights, kita panggil tart custard with tiny fruits(Tak propa ok!!). For me, a good Fruit Tarts should have crunchy pastry and while adequate sweet custard sauce with tangy taste from the fruits. So we at HavenBits have all that for your need!!

Price Per Box :
Price : RM30
Quantity : 16 + 2 free

Caramel Cheesecake

                                             

Hahaha...finally i started my baking with this Caramel Cheesecakes since i know this is my cup of tea, i started to make it around 5 years ago after i tasted the Caramel Cheesecake from Secret Recipe, so i googled on how to make a cheesecake and how to make a perfect caramel sauce (i had to make the caramel sauce for few times due to its fragile easily burnt texture). I actually reduced the caramel since i believe too sweet texture will actually reduce the cheesecake flavor!! What is the purpose of making cheesecake when you can only taste the sugar right!! The cheese cream is rich and it melts in your mouth!! Its not yout typical very cakey extra soft cheesecakes that u normally had (they cheated on u by added heavy cream, trust me i know!! LOL)

Name : Caramel Cheesecake
Weight : almost 1 kg
Price : RM35

Preface

Greetings from HavenBits,


This is an initiative created by JoeAzrul to satisfy my own dream, its all started when every year since i was small i was forced by lovely mum to help her for on single raya occasion. She loves to bake and somehow she always try to drag me to be her helper since she is kinda over-ambitious in taking cookies order. From there, i realised that i do have interest plus a bit of talent in doing those things.

 So basically, what is HavenBits? Is it a place where people wanted to go to heaven, so they have to queue and post their name here and be our follower?? tettttt... wrong! It is basically our passion on creating products that deliver to our customer with utmost quality yet affordable and pleasant to the eyes. (We are like "Tidak perlu alah membeli, tapi tetap menang memakan")


So now we are in midst of developing process, stay tuned for more updates.


Love,
Joejo
