For the past week, I have been joining in the baking sessions since 16 Jan at Chang En's house. All the session were at night except for the recent one (which was held in the afternoon). For as the previous sessions, the tarts were baked for fund-raising purposes during the CF recruitment drive. Each day, different CG was on duty. But even with the schedule, some members from other CGs came to lend a helping hand as well. One of them was me of course. Except for Monday, I was spotted there for the rest of the days.
Wow.. making & baking the tarts is not easy as we have to follow the recipe and instructions carefully. The production of the tarts and muffins were done smoothly, from measuring the ingredients, mixing the dough, making the crusts, putting in the fillings then baking them in oven before the ready-made tarts were taken out and transferred into paper cups. Of course, casualties sometimes happened in the process. There's always some tarts that were ruined. But they served as samples for those helpers as they have the chance to taste the tarts that they've made.
5 types of tarts & muffins were made during the baking sessions:
1. Apple tarts
2. Blueberry tarts
3. Chicken pies/tarts
4. Banana muffins with chocolate chips
5. Corn-and-pineapple custard tarts (Production ceased)
Out of the 5, I love the blueberry tarts the most with apple tarts a close second. But the rest taste equally delicious.
Let me talk about the recent tart-baking session. This session is to make tarts ordered by Praise Community Church, Chinese Methodist Church & Kampar Gospel Hall. The 3 churches are taking part in the CF welcoming night @ GKH beside Wesley Methodist Church & CGBC Campus Connect. Eric Ong's CG on duty but Calvin, Clara, Felicia and me went to help out as well. We started work arond 4.30pm and successfully made the required amount ordered by both churches within 4 hours. As the tarts were being transferred, suddenly the box of tarts Eric was holding slipped from his hands and a few apple & blueberry tarts were destroyed. Oh no! We're almost done with the day's work when the incident happened. No choice but to make a few more tarts. So we extended our working hours and successfully made them. Then we cleaned up the place before we left around 11pm. Since we didn't have our dinner while making the tarts & muffins, we decided to go Ghany for dinner & yum cha.
There's still 2 more baking session on Wednesday and Saturday and this 2 sessions is to bake more tarts to sell to Campus Connect and to meet the order made by Chinese Methodist Church. Yay! I'm gonna help out in the these 2 sessions as well. Hee! After this, no more baking sessions but there's more exciting events in store for the CF members and the upcoming one (CF welcoming night) is going to be held at Grand Kampar Hotel. Looking forward for the event!
Here are some of the photos taken during the baking sessions:
The following are photos of blueberry muffins which were made on 21 Jan. Eric Ong thought of this idea and the muffins were made using the recipe of banana muffins (with the bananas replaced by blueberry paste). Only 8 muffins were made and they're not for sale (for testing purposes only).
