Blueberry Torte

Kek ni kita buat untuk my father's birthday 8th February yang lalu..hari lahir yang ke 73 tahun. Walaupun diberitahu tak payah buatkan kek untuknya alasan dia dah tua..kita tetap nak buat juga..yalah bila lagi nak bake cake yang macam2 kalau tidak on birthdays kan..time nilah juga kita nak practice apa2 yang patutkan....hehe..
Since my dad ni tak berapa sangat with chocolate kita buat this blueberry flavour for him..
Alhamdullilah makan jugalah sepotong..hehe...yalah ayah kita ni kalau  kek2 berkrim makan gitu2 ajelah tak ada makan beriya2..Anak2 pulak kalau bukan chocolate slow motion aje makan..hahaha..yang ada tu makan keknya aje creamnya dia buang..itu sebablah kita kalau buat kek mesti nak bercoklat..so siapa2 yang singgah sini asik kek coklat aje sorry lah ya..puan tanah kedaung, terpaksa ikut pasaran dirumah ni..hehe..

Deco cake ni pada kita masih belum smooth lagi..Ingat nak buat different tones of purple, bubuh colour pun sikit2 just enough for one colour, then bila pipekan dia keluar macam semperit, sebab cream tak cukup dan sikit..last2 sudahlah just use one colour ..sebab mood tak kuasa dah datanglah tu..:)
Anyway, recipe ni kita ambil dari buku Delicious Cakes...sebenarnya this Blueberry Torte kita pernah buat dulu, tapi itu orang order..alahai dah ambil order ke si Ayu ni?..Oh tidak..kalau ambil pun yang kenal2 aje..itupun kek2 yang kita dah pernah buatlah, seperti Red Velvet Cake & Devil Food Chocolate Cake...yang ni pun sebab my biras(isteri kepada abang ipar, Mr Hubby's eldest brother) yang beriya2 suruh kita buat, she ordered to surprise suaminya ..bila time terima order ni kita macam tak confident tau, sebab apa, she nak kek yang kita belum pernah cuba!!!..Uish dah lah tu..bukan coklat tapi blueberry...macam biasalah makcik terus stoink...hahah..menggelabah cari recipe kek blueberry..Nasib baik jumpa yang ni..alhamdulilah menjadi..anyway, since kek macam ni tak mendapat sambutan yang hangat dirumah, ia mendapat sambutan yang begitu menggalakkan dioffice Mr Hubby..wakakaka..sebab separuh dari kek ni kita suruh Hubby bawa..Mr Hubby pulak, time kat officelah baru dia makan..kat rumah dia tak pandang langsung..he said..within minutes, the cake dissappeared in thin air...and the comments was very nice!!!...
Yalah kat office Mr Hubby tu..kayu & batu pakkal tak boleh makan, kalau boleh makan..pun dia orang cakap sedap..hahahaha...tapi serious kek ni sedap pada yang suka perasa blueberry :) 
Oh yes kalau nak guna recipe ready spongecake mix pun boleh ya..just adjust ikut sukatan kat packaging tu, then decorate ikut suka....
