2 more cakes for a little boy's fourth birthday. He is fascinated by dinosaurs and knows all the different types of dinosaurs - names that I can't even pronounce. Happy Birthday Andrew!

Flower Cookies




Cookies for Danea's birthday giveaway at school.

Butterfly


Princess Danea's birthday was last week and I was asked to bake a butterfly cake with specific colours for her. I heard that the kiddies in her class enjoyed the cake together with the cookies.

Handbag Cake - Coco Chanel




This was done in one day. Of course the cake was already baked but the decorating was done in one day. I had an additional cake and so happened a friend needed a birthday cake too. So was debating whether I had time to complete a handbag cake. This is my first attempt and I must say it looks pretty good. Of course given more time, more detail could be put into it.

Rose Bouquet



A rose cupcake bouquet. I have been able to modify and improve the cupcake bouquet after many attempts and am satisfied with how this one turned out.

Ben 10 - Alien Upgrade


Another "Ben 10" cake but this time of the Alien - Upgrade. The birthday boy wanted a green cake and green it is. Had fun making this cake but those Aliens are definitely not cute. More to come in the coming days. Happy Birthday Kieren!

Bangkok Kaya Cake




I got this recipe from this month's Flavours magazine. The same day I got the magazine, the same night I baked this. It turned out really nice especially when it is cold. Was wondering why the name "Kaya" when there is no "kaya" in the recipe. When I tasted it I realised why it was called "Kaya" because it did taste like eventhough the ingredients were not that of kaya. Ok enough confusion, a nice one to bake for a party.

Tea Party





An order for individually packed cupcakes for a tea party this weekend. I had fun making these and love the way they look. How nice it is to receive a little box of cupcake as a table gift.

Mother's Day



A friend requested for her favourite butter cake for MOther's Day this Sunday. She wanted untinted icing, something simple. I absolutely love the simplicity of this cake. Sometimes less is indeed more.

Could not resist!


My chocolate cake came out perfect last night so could not resist taking some pics of the cake:)

"Thank you" cupcakes


Thanks God for extras, just in case disaster strikes which can be anytime. Well disaster struck last night when I was baking my last passionfruit chiffon to be delivered today and with full confidence I relied on my oven timer without checking the cake, well the chiffon cake collapsed on me as it was not fully cook within. Well thankfully, the cake was requested by a good friend not for a birthday. So I managed to use my additional cupcakes ( yes, baked and decorated in total about 5 orders last night) to make up for the chiffon. Am happy with it, hopefully the recipients like them too.

Chiffon Galore


Gula Melaka Chiffon- perfect!


Red Dragon Fruit chiffon - sliced

Red Dragon Fruit Chiffon

My hands were itching to try our numerous types of chiffon over the long holidays. I managed to make a banana chiffon, red dragon fruit chiffon and gula melaka chiffon. they turned out nice but am typing this before I have even tasted it. I had made 2 of the above chiffon previously and horror of horrors, they deflated, collapsed on me. Glad at least they held their shape this time.

The Red Dragon Fruit Chiffon yielded a nice pinkish toned batter but unfortunately, once baked there was only a slight tinge. Unique though. The texture of the gula melaka one was perfect!

The banana chiffon, always tasty. This I have tasted before:)
