Puas Puas Puasa with California Raisins

So, I was invited to participate in a pastry decorating competition hosted by California Raisins during their ‘Puas Puas Puasa’ event at Royal Chulan Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Now, I’m no culinary maestro and decorating things is not my forte but I dragged myself over to the event regardless and took up the challenge.

Here’s yours truly and her creation. Please pardon the messy and bedraggled appearance. The event was in the morning and as you know, I’m not exactly a morning person. I will only look quite fresh and human after lunch time.

Here’s my masterpiece. Unlike other contestants who came up with very creative and beautiful deco for their pastries, mine was rather simple. This piece was inspired by a famous historical landmark in Teluk Intan, Perak, the Menara Condong Teluk Intan. If you are wondering why it doesn’t look straight, well, I did it on purpose as the clock tower it was inspired from really does lean slightly sideways in real life.

Needless to say, I did not win the competition and here’s the winners of the pastry decorating competition organized by California Raisins. Their creation are beautiful and definitely out of my league. Winning does not matter to me, though. I did it for experience and the sheer fun of it.

And speaking of experience, apart from pastry decorating competition, the ‘Puas Puas Puasa’ event was actually a knowledge-sharing event where the invited guests shares tips on how to stay energetic throughout the fasting period of Ramadan by consuming California Raisins. This of course applies for those who are fasting for whatever reasons, be it because of religious obligations or health purpose.
