Christmas Came Early with a Truckload of Cookies.

Christmas is the greatest time of the year. Walk down the cookie / candy / chocolate aisle and you'll be inspired with the variety of Christmas delights, in the prettiest packaging ever! :) (If I had all the money in the world, I would have bought them all. Muaha!)

I thought I had ample time to get myself prepared. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. In a blink of an eye, August turned September. September came and went, and it was October...today we’re closing in to the end of November and Christmas is about a month away. It makes me feel that I’ve achieved the very minimal with the given time.

Working on Krumbs definitely has its ups and down. What I’ve experienced during these initial stages definitely consist more of downs (lessons) than ups. On some days, my dreams seemed so far-fetched that it makes me wonder if Krumbs will ever make it. It was then a very good friend of mine told me that I don’t have to make it big; I just have to make it.

What she said made total sense, I realised that despite all my wants, hopes and dreams for Krumbs; at the core of it I wanted it to be personal. I wanted it small, and cosy. I wanted it to be known for its treats, and its food. Never mind the mega franchise and stores in renowned shopping malls. I just wanted something that was mine, something that I could pour my passion and time into producing something good for people. (Yes, I think yummy food / treats is life’s good thing.) :D

Well, the baby-steps proved worthwhile. I worked towards attainable goals. It wasn’t easy – especially when frustrations set in when ideas and intention don’t meet the budget / the accessibility of items - but I knew I needed to move forward. And yes, ‘hanging in there’ proved to be fruitful! :) Krumbs is now working on its FIRST Christmas project! It’s actually our first-time selling pretty-looking treats! :D

Mr. Nippy Toes comes in a set of three for RM15. :) He is also made available in a box of 10 for RM43. If you're feeling indecisive, you can opt for our combo pack of 10 at RM43 - consisting of an equal amount of Mr. Nippy Toes and Mr. Gingerbread Man.

Mr. Nippy Toes is my pride and joy. Working with icing was challenging, there was a lot to learn. I had to read up and experiment to get the colours I wanted. I had to practice on my piping skills, and I had to find a balance in getting a rich, buttery cookie that wasn’t too sweet, to compliment well with mildly flavoured icing.

The cookie used for Mr. Nippy Toes resembles a crumbly buttery shortbread (with a slight tinge of savouriness to it.) It's still sweet because of the icing, but I can assure you that you will not pass out / go hyper from sugar high. :D

Mr. Gingerbread Man comes in a set of three for RM15. :) He is also made available in a box of 10 for RM43. If you're feeling indecisive, you can opt for our combo pack of 10 at RM43 - consisting of an equal amount of Mr. Nippy Toes and Mr. Gingerbread Man.

Moving on, Mr. Gingerbread Man. :D Another yummy good looking fellow. The cookie has a unique texture. After experimenting for quite a bit, I realised that the best texture for a gingerbread man was to have both crunch and chew in the same cookie! :)

And so I did! Mr. Gingerbread Man is lightly infused with ginger, cinnamon and all spices, and baked to perfection - with an crunchy outer ring and a slightly chewy center. :)

I also experimented with fresh ginger and that is the secret to this delicious treat of Chocolate Ginger Chew. It's a must-try for ginger-lovers. It goes really well with a cold glass of milk. This cookie literally warms you up with every bite. It will give you that soothing comfort that you get when you drink a mug-full of hot cocoa on a rainy night. :)

So come this Christmas, if you're feeling a little craving for something made with passion, made with love and something so totally yummy (shameless! :D hehe.), do drop me an email. :) I promise it'll be worthwhile. :)

These treats are for absolute ginger lovers! :) Infused with fresh ginger shreds, this cookie will warm your heart with every bite. Delicious with cold milk.

The One Thing Every Good Baker Must Know

...is to make kick-ass chocolate chip cookies! :) I don't care if it's crunchy, thick, thin or chewy... You've just gotta know. It's like the 101 of a super-duper baker. Anyways, been reading up on some of the must-know to baking delicious chewy chocolate chip cookies. Some very important tips include:

1) Using fresh brown sugar. I think brown sugar plays a huge role in making the cookies chewy. Try to avoid using brown sugar that looks and feels like white granulated sugar. Go for those that is soft and moist. I tried mine with organic, brown muscovado sugar.

2) Baking time - do not overbake. Don't be worried for the cookie to be slightly underbake, as long as you don't have the flour taste to it, it's all good! :) Plus, if it's really that underbake, just put it back into the oven for a minute or so. I did mine by baking it for 10minutes, and leaving it to cool on the tray itself. (There's actually a baking term for this, I've read it in one of the recipe books...but I can't remember :P)

Anyways, made these recently and gave them away. It put smiles on frowny faces! :P


Chewy Choc Chip all nicely packed :)

One final shot for all the cookie monsters out there :D
These are really good when eaten warm. When feeling greedy, just pop these into the microwave for about 30 seconds (because it's quite thin, you can increase the reheat time for thicker cookies) and dollop a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. :9

Great dessert to end a hard day's work, or.. it could also be a great way to start your mornings! :P
