Wah..waahhh..bibik bagi resepi kek dalam bahasa omputeh. hehehh. Setakat salin resepi memang la terer. Part membuatnya kita serahkan pada yang pakar. ekekekee. Kek ni projek kak ct dengan anak-anak. Saya seperti biasa tukang ambil gambar pastu publish kat FB bagi orang 'tempting' dan kongsi resepi dengan anda.


Masa kek ni siap pun syakirah yang beria ambil gambar. Saya dah penat malas nak fikir pasal gambar. Turun je bawah sempat terlelap sekejap. Dapat 10 minit pun dah kira nikmat. Bangun je terus solat maghrib barulah naik atas berbuka. Tu yang dapat gambar kek dah berpotong.

Raya dah dekat ni. Sesuai sangat la bagi mereka yang rajin mengeKEK kalau nak jadikan ia sebagai hiasan di meja makan. hehe. Biar semua orang WOW. haha.

Selamat mencuba.
