Spice Cake



I changed the name of this cake slightly from "Pain D'epice" which I think means Spice Bread. Hmmm anyway this cake texture is in between a cake and a bread. I made this to satisfy my off and on craving for cinnamon and sugar. I like this cake, subtle and perfect with tea. Thanks Nadia for the photos:)

More cupcakes


Another of my favourite swirls!~

Happy Birthday Renu!


My good friend's sister's birthday was celebrated also over the weekend. Made some "whimsical" cupcakes for her. I absolutely love this colour combination!

A Lilac and White Wedding



I made this banana walnut cake for delivery over the weekend. It was a wedding with a lilac and white theme. This turned out nice especially when put together with the wedding decor which had a nice gardeny feel. Congratulations Andy and Junnie!

Banana Friday!




I had some extra bananas at home and I bought a new silicone pan yesterday so I decided to make some "banana gems" yup those little ones and some cupcakes. Can never go wrong with banana and chocolate.

Ryan is 3!!



I had fun making this butter cake for my friend's son, Ryan's birthday celebration at school. She had given me some Thomas trains to be placed on the cake. I love how this turned out.

Football Fever



Another request for some cupcakes with Manchester United Jersey colours i.e red and white. I usually stay away from strong colours for my cakes but this was just fantastic! Love the red!

Cupcakes for 3


Over the weekend I was asked to bake some cupcakes to form a shape of number 3. A nice change from the usual whole cake in the shape of number 3.

Birthday Favours



I remembered when I was in kindergarten, it was the most exciting when on the night before my birthday, I will be helping my mum pack little goodie bags consisting of chocolate wafers, chickadee and lollipops to be handed out to my classmates at school. This is now done in a far more sophisticated way with parents planning in advance on the items to put into the goodie bag. I had a request for some mini cupcakes individually packed for a little girl's birthday at school. I love these little almost bubble-like packages with pink ribbons.


These were taken pretty late at night and the warm lighting did not help.

Chocolate Blackcurrant Muffins



I discovered this new recipe and thought I'd give it a try. These turned out tasty with an abundance of chocolate chips and blackcurrant in it. I had a good breakfast this morning.

Charity Bake Sale


There was a charity drive last week and my friend and I decided to set up a stall. I made vanilla dots, financiers, different cakes, pies, cupcakes etc and the response was truly encouraging. Everything was sold out really quickly:)
