To sum my 'gloomy-ness':

We visited a close relative who was hospitalised .......

alhamdulillah, he pulled thru from ICU--->HDU---->normal ward--->home.

His strong will obviously put some of us to shame.

Get well fast!

My update:

My very first try sometime last week....after confiding with sifu. Big TQ mamafami for sharing your ideas & expertise. Allow me to just C&P ye.

Even though I only made the cookies & a store-bought fondant, I am happy with the outcome.
