Jena Bakery

A few days ago was my birthday, my dearest brought me a delicious chocolate cake! Somehow here in Bahrain most of people buy their cakes from la chocolat or Lilou, which both are really good, but to break this I got a real good cake from Jena Bakery! I totally loved it! The cake I got was full of CHOCOLATE!!! & I also got the chocolate diamonds which was also so delicious!!

I even took it with me to work and all the people at work complimented the cake! One said that even when he doesn’t like dessert he really liked this cake!

To be honest I have never been there, but I am planning to order from it soon! My mom also told me to order a cake for our family gathering!

So, let’s take a deeper look at Jena Bakery:

about Jena Bakery:

""One day I read a book called 'Like Water for Chocolate' and found my calling. It was a tale about longing, love, magic and food. The heroine was born in the kitchen, was passionate about food and possessed the ability to create strange dishes that evoked different emotions in people.

The book confirmed to me a feeling that I always had; what I was doing in my free time as a hobby- the food fairs, the cooking courses, the food literature- was actually what I should pursue as a career. This was my passion and I was ignoring it the whole time.

A chance meeting with an old friend - who later became my supportive business partner - put the Jena project on a roll. And with the help of an amazing support team, I was able to formally produce Jena desserts.

The idea behind the creation of Jena was to provide high quality, elegant desserts that taste like they were baked at home. Just like the heroine in 'Like Water for Chocolate', I believe I posses the ability to give happiness and pleasure to others through food. With this I want to be of help to everyone. To a housewife who has unexpected guests and needs a last minute dessert, to the person who is driving back home after a long workday and is craving the comfort of a cupcake or a brownie and to every person who wants to celebrate any special occasion of the year. I also just started to cater for corporate events, weddings and supply many restaurants with our desserts.

I do hope that I can help lessen people's stresses and be of servitude to them using my passion.

The best feeling in the world is to do what you love. Everyday I come to Jena, I get to experience that.""

Swirl Cupcakes

 I recently was surfing the net when I saw Bahrainipreneur's tweet about swirl cupcakes.. It was a day after Valentine's day.. I immediately checked the site and I was so amazed with what they have.. I specially loved the cupcake bouquets they have! It was so nice decorated and I have never seen something like this before!

I called them right away after I checked their site and tweets and they picked it directly! The owner was such a sweetheart! She was so nice and open to any question! I guess I kind of bothered her with calling and asking but she was answering her phone, texting me and emailing me! I have never dealt with someone like her to be honest!

I have ordered blue/purple bouquet:

& my friend has ordered the pink or red bouquet which was available for valentine:

I honestly did not try their cupcakes so I can’t rate for the taste. However I asked my friend who I sent the cupcakes to and he rated them 8 out of 10.

I would give their decoration 10 out of 10! It is so unique and neat! I loved her work so much!

Here are some snoop shoots I got from twitter on what people say about Swirl Cupcake:

Finally decorate it with flakes!

A Yummy Easy Dessert!

I’ve been viewing my old recipes which I saved and I saw this one, I had it long time ago and I really don’t remember if I copied it from a blog or an email I received!
Its really an easy dessert and a yummy one! I recommend doing it for children I bet they will love it!

What you need:
1) Nutella chocolate (& trust me everything with Nutella turns YUM!).
2) The recipe says choose sesame biscuit but I used digestive because I love it more.
3) Kiri cheese
4) Nestle Milk [and here I got confused I didn’t know what milk they mean, is it the fresh normal milk or the sweetened condensed milk, but I used the sweetened condensed milk (7aleeb mu7ala)]
5) Hershey Chocolate syrup (I didn’t use this one because the dessert was sweet enough!)

What we do:
1) First we should have the cupcake containers:

2) Then put in each one big spoon of Nutella chocolate

3) Then put the biscuit. What I did is smashing the digestive biscuit and I’ve put it on top of the chocolate.

4) Beat Kiri cheese with the milk, the put the cream above the biscuits

5) Then freeze it. The more you put it in the freezer the better. After they freeze, flip them and put some hershay syrup above it!

& enjoy eating!
