Okay, considering that I got the order in less than a-24-hours notice, my only worry at that time was where in the world can I get helium-filled balloons and it has to be surprise worthy to boot! A quick search on Google and I found a shop in PJ that stocks up on balloons from all the corners of the earth.
I quickly called B and urged him to get home early that evening to take care of the kids while I went for a balloon hunt. We all ended up going to the shop (sebab Zareef nak ikut tengok balloon shop). It's no joke man hunting for that shop during the peak hours of the evening jam. But, we made it.
The large carrot cake for Roslee.
It was adorned with simple decorations. Suitable for a guy to have it with his officemates.
Zareef simply loved the balloons. He has expressed that he wants 100 hundred of these balloons on his birthday this October.
Sal specifically asked for balloons that would draw attention to her guy since he is really shy and all. I hope that these balloons worked in doing so!
The birthday boy with his surprised cake and balloons but he remained cool and collected. If it were me, I would be jumping about like monyet kena cili.. hehhehe... He was very much surprised, I can say that much but still sporting enough to pose one for the camera.
When he walked in, I could hear the receptionist at the counter saying... "Wah... banyaknya balloons!! Birthday ke??" Yupp... the plan to draw attention to this shy guy worked! Yeay!!So... happy birthday Roslee! I hope you had a great time with your lovely wife and here's to many more wonderful birthdays in years to come!
ps: Sal... next year nak buat surprise apa pulak?

Hi Noresh,
i terliur tengok your carrot cake with cream cheese topping (is it cream cheese?) anyway, i was wondering..i dah lama tak bake nih..nak tanya, if you don't mind sharing your recipe...nak try la bake for hubby's bday..i've never baked a carrot cake before, and would love to have a good recipe that would encourage me to bake some more...that is if you don't mind lah, don't worry, i don't have any plans on opening up a bakery or anything like that heh :) oh..my email is farakhalid@hotmail.com, if you want to respond to me...
fara,
i don't mind at all. i pun dapat from internet. then i tweaked a lil bit here and there and made it mine. in fact, i dah email pun kat you.
hope your hubby will enjoy it. happy baking!
Guilty as charge! One long overdued testi coming rit up!
Well first of all, thanks Nora for “accommodating” my crazy last minute request! I knew I wanted to do something for Roslee on his birthday…. At first wanted to surprise him with a candlelit dinner (duh!) but it was such a hectic week, didn’t get around to do it… so started thinking of some other ways to surprise him WITHOUT having to leave the office or spend hours cooking in the kitchen! Haha.. Had to cheat a bit, so came up with the idea and I straight away knew the right person to call to do the job!
Btw, the surprise almost didn't happen as Roslee was down with flu and ALMOST decided to take the day off. Yaiks! Luckily i managed to persuade him to go to work. Haha.. Forthe record, Roslee was very pleased with the cake and balloons! I think within minutes they finished the cake. Guess I should have ordered an extra large cake for him and his officemates. Btw what happen to the request of having a naked singing delivery lady? Hahaha…
As for the additional 2 cakes I ordered for my office and family, well that’s just to show my support to fellow Boiler, ex-housemate for starting up your own mini cake business. It’s a start to something that can be big in the future. So keep it up and wish you all the best.
Luv,
Sal
hey sal... thanx a lot for the lovely testimonial. don't forget to order more in the future kay...
