2. How is your progress?
During week 2, I had planned to buy all the ingredients needed to make bun, pizza and cookies. For this steps, I just followed the ingredients listed in the facebook group. I bought all the things at bakery shop. The price was reasonable as a few things were quite expensive such as almond nips and cheeddar cheese. I already have oven and hand mixer so it is easy for me. I have decided to make chocolate chips, tart nenas and walnut crisps. For pastry, I decided to make plain bun, korean garlic cheese and tuna pizza.

At first, I doubt myself whether I can do this or not. It is because I rarely bake cookies and it is my first time learning to make bun and pizza. Usually, I bake cookies with my sister during Hari Raya and just helping her to put the cookies in the oven and container. After learning in the group, my confidence increases and I will try my best to bake cookies and pastry.

2. Your progress so far

On week 3, I managed to bake Cluster Almond Walnut and Chocolate Chips. I did the video on the recipe, ingredients, process to make those cookies. Actually I didn't manage to bake Cluster Almond Walnut correctively, it is because my technique is wronged. I need to double boil the chocolate, I tried but the outcome is not good. The chocolate melted but after few minutes during double boiling, it became thick and not melt. So, I put 250ml of fresh milk to melt the chocolate back. It turned out fine. For chocolate chips, the recipe are simple and I managed to do it without mistake and it turned out good. I gave to my friends nearby my home and they said it's good but the presentation need to be improved if want to open business.

3. Your feelings and thoughts

I feel proud and confident to myself because I can bake! Never cross in my mind I can do it myself without my sister's help. I really enjoy baking cookies and pastry because I like the smell during in the oven.

I learnt through online classes (Facebook PJJ). In that group, the admins taught us a lot of things. From A-Z, the ingredients, correct techniques, tools to used, tips,how to sell online, estimated price for each products and many more. A lot of members in that group managed to sell their cookies and pastry successfully.

5. How did you manage your time throughout this EP journey?

For time management, I don't have any problem with it as I planned before the EP started. I just follow the flow to finish my EP journey. Plus, I'm at home so it is easy for me to buy ingredients and bakes the menus.

1. Were the objectives of the project fulfilled?

Yes, all the objectives are fulfilled. Firstly, I managed to learn basic skills in baking pastry and cookies by taking online course in Facebook. Next, I able to do the right technique in baking a bun, korean garlic cheese and cookies even though I need to redo a few times, adding more ingredients to make the dough more soft to shape it (samperit). Lastly, I managed to learn on how to open pastry business in media social, how to attract people, estimation price for each pastry and cookies and many more

2. What have you enjoyed or liked the most about the project?

Throughout this project, I enjoyed doing it every week. Escpecially during baking pastry, it is my first time doing it. At first, the dough didn't rised maybe my technique was wrong. After a second try, I succedeed and able to bake a bun that is soft and fluffy. Then, I continue doing korean garlic cheese. I didn't face any problem doing it and the outcome was delicious, commented by my friends living in the neighbourhood. For baking cookies, I enjoyed the most doing samperit classic. I need to make sure the dough is soft so it is easy to shape it. Unfortunately, the dough was quite hard so I just add on 3 tablespoon of oil and the dough become more soft. So for me week 3 and 4 are the most exciting and fun to do.

3. What have you found challenging about this project? (any part of the project you found hard to do)

During week 3 and 4, I am ready to bake after learning online during week 1. I started with making chocolate chips. I learnt that the butter need to be in room temperature first so it is easy to mix with sugar. Then, I learnt that the nuts such as almond,hazelnut and walnut need to be roasted in oven first to make it crunchy. One difficult task was learning to adjust the oven temperature. Eventhough the coordinator give a range of temperature and time, each oven works differently, so I need to watch the cookies everytime so it is not overcooked. Next, while doing plain bun, at first try the dough did not rise due to my wrong technique also the measurement is not precise. On second try, the dough rise well and I continue doing korean garlic cheese.

4. What has really worked? (any part in the project that you thought worked well)

Yes, at the end of elective   posting, I managed to bake chocolate chips, cluster almond walnut, cheese tart nenas, samperit klasik, plain bun and korean garlic cheese.

5. What can be improved in this project?

For this project, I need to explore more on how to sell this product online, how to make the pastry have a longer expiration date. Then, learning more menu to attract people and lastly learning business skills.
