Andrew & Jessey's wedding



It was a beautiful wedding this morning. Apart from helping my friends co-ordinate their wedding which I must say went well, I baked the cake too. The brown and pink theme was fantastic to work with! All the best to you guys!

More pictures to follow, it has been tremendously difficult to load pictures these days.

Stars!


A last minute request for a little boy's birthday. Despite given slightly more than 12hours to complete this cake, I have to say that this cake turned out really nice.

chocolate chunk pecan cookies



It's a holiday today! nothing beats spending a relaxing morning baking batches of chocolate chunk pecan cookies, filling the house with its sweet aroma. who can resist? the batter is filled with chocolate chunks which I got from my last trip to Singapore and loaded with pecans. That's the best thing about baking them yourself.

Smiley




Smileys have survived through the generations well at least to the next generation. One of my friend was celebrating her son's one year birthday........ the request, a colourful cake with smiley and stars. Well there were a number of other requests but could not fit them all in for fear of cluttering the cake too much:)

the number "1" can be improved.

Happy birthday Christopher!

BALLERINAS






A request for a double layered cake with ballerinas on it for a little girl's birthday. I absolutely love this cake! The moulding of the ballerinas were done in advance and the cake assembled last night. The cupcakes were a variation of "cupcake fun" to match the tiered cake. Happy Birthday Adrianna!

Birthday cupcakes






Made some cupcakes for friends who are celebrating their birthdays this month. You can easily tell which ones are for a guy and the ones for a girl. I was so glad to find these custom made cupcake boxes. Only thing, only the large cupcakes fit snugly

Cupcakes for grandma



These were made for a a friend's grandma and grandaunty. I decided to do a twist to the Laura Ashley ones. An option for less sugar i.e less buttercream on the cupcakes. But they still look nice:)

Young at heart


Last night, I baked some cupcakes and usually when I am left to my own creativity, for nights I will be thinking of colours and design. Last night as I set on my baker's chair, I decided to try something a little different. I think this cupcake turned out nice. Very cute.... very sweet. A design that would fit comfortably with hello kitty.

Cookies season



Some "thank you" cookies I made for some friends. One as post-wedding favours (2 cookies) and the other, just as an appreciation for good friends.

Moist Chocolate Cake



I was going through my blog and realised that I do not have pictures of my signature cakes. I will get down to it one day to have a tag that links to my signature cakes i.e cakes that are "undecorated" for a certain request. This is my mum's recipe, a really moist chocolate cake with a light ganache like topping. I consider myself lucky to be able to inherit a recipe that my mum has tried and tested many times. THanks Mum!!

This chocolate cake is a large cake ( 13 inches) thus the many strawberries.

Cupcake Queen - Ariff



A request from a good friend for her son's birthday. The Cupcake Queen with specific instructions for blue. I heard that everyone like the cake.

Cupcakes for a new neighbour




Over the past weekend, a new neighbour shifted in. I was baking some cupcakes and decided to make some extra ones to pass to her as a welcome gift of sorts.
