So its over and done.
The bazaar was on Saturday, I stayed up till 4.30am on Thursday night, and till 7am on Friday night (which was also the morning of Saturday) to make all the stuffs.
What can I say, since its the first time Im doing a bazaar sale thingy, I didnt know how much or what to expect, so I just kept churning out stuffs to make sure I have enough whenever someone drops by my booth. And I had WAAAYYYY too much. The sales of the day could just cover the cost of my stuffs, but I had like lots of leftover cupcakes and Christmas cookies.
I guess I should now give them out to orphan homes or to anyone I see on the road. 
Here are some of the stuffs that I made, and how the booth looked like.
Taken immediately after the booth was set up. Then moved the box at the back, and forgot to take another picture
Yummy marshmallow!! oh its so yummy really really soft and fluffy and light, and it doesnt involve any eggs white! After all the macaron making, I have like close to 40 egg yolks.
Christmas cookiesssss!!! Well My mom helped decorated most of the cookies. I just made one for sample then just helped put the decoratives on it. And mom & dad also helped me pack the cupcakes, write the labels and seal! What would I do without them <3
Mogador!! Goodness this one was yummiest. I used Felchins Rondor 38.5% Ok ok I know its not Valrhona or any of those RM 100 / kg chocolate. This one was about RM 40/kg. #closeenough.jpg :p Its passionfruit and milk chocolate. At first I was afraid that it would be cloyingly sweet as Im more a fan of dark than milk, but turns out just balanced, with a littly tang at the back of your throat.
Chocolate. with chocolate ganache. In Pierre Hermes recipe, it uses 100% cocoa mass ? I bought that, but I wasnt keen on trying an entirely new recipe in such a short time. So I just used my regular recipe and added 15g of cocoa powder (to TPT of 400g) For the chocolate ganache, I used Felchins Rondo 70% dark as well. Using Valrhona for a bake sale, is, . em, well, Im too stingy for that. And especially when people refuse to understand the types and importance of chocolate. Oh well. I shall keep the Guanaja for special occasions. Nevertheless, this was good! I blew some edible copper dust on top for a light shade of red. (OH SANTA I WANT A AIRBRUSH MACHINE PLEASE!)
Blue ones were kumquat. WHAT? Kumquat.
Its vanilla italian buttercream with homemade spiced kumquat marmalade. Marmalade has like a whole pod of vanilla, 2 cloves and 1 star anise. Did I also tell you, I made all 850g of kumquat? Since it can keep, I might as well right? Lets do kumquat madeleine, entremet and er, doughnuts? Just saying.
And the other 2 were coffee and caramel, and green tea and red bean. Which I havent took their pictures yet. Well, next time.
