Party Favours

I was requested to make some personalised favours for a friend's birthday party at Raju's. Here they are.

Courtyard Wedding Cake

I had the priviledge of baking a cake for a wedding at the Courtyard Garden. I have not been there before but when I went to set up the cake, I was like "not bad this place". Hope the bride liked the cake, Congratulations Ann!

Fairies

I love love love this cake. Was such a joy to make for twin girls. I hope they like it. I took so many pictures of this cake. The fairies could still be improved but I love how whimsical this looks.

Lemon Lemon

i had extra lemons at home and decided to improvise on some recipes for a beautiful, beautiful lemon cake which I will call "Lemon Lemon". Moist buttery genoise layers with buttercream and fresh lemon curd. Divine especially if you are one who love lemons.

Bake Sale 2011

My office held a charity bake sale a couple of days ago. Yes, I have been busy and now after the event, am feeling the strain of the marathon baking session. Some pictures of the goodies I had on sale. Cakes were very well received.

Lemon Cranberry Bundt Cake

So I had extra lemons and extra cranberries the other day so I decided to go through the many baking books I have to find the perfect recipe for these 2 ingredients. I found this one and was delighted by how it turned out. The texture, beautiful!~ However I still need to work on this cake as the second time I made it turned into an overtly dense cake ( sigh and to think that the second time round I used actual vanilla).

The Box

This was a cake ordered by a friend for her other half's birthday. Will not go into the meaning of the cake but put it this way, the guests "got it". Had made corresponding "kotak" cookies to go with these and apparently the outshone the cake. Sorry did not have more photos of this endeavour as I left my camera in the office. So relied on 3rd party pictures. Thanks Jean!

Office Party

Anything to beat the stress in the office. Every now and then we have everyone bring food to the office, this time was for a celebration of promotions. I made some dessert, Orange poppy seed cake, cakey brownies ( these were excellent) and some cupcakes. Dessert were finished by the end of the work day. Such satisfaction

Pastels All Around

These were for 2 different orders but for the same person. A bunch of pastel hearts which the bride took all the way to Taiping to top vanilla swirl cupcakes. So pretty. The stars were made for a birthday cake for one of her bridesmaids. I think it looks attractive eventhough there isn't buttercream on it. Love

Raya 2011 - Loaves

Orange poppy seed loaves for Raya 2011. Let the baking begin!

Angry Birds - Round 2

Happy Birthday Ryan! I have been given the priviledge to bake his birthday cakes every year. This year's theme, Angry Birds! 2 cakes of course, one for school and one for tuition. Two of the same but not so same cakes, colours were slightly different.

Ring of Flowers

A really pretty cake of flowers and butterflies for a mother's birthday. It is always a nice feeling to be making sweet looking cakes.

Transformers Cookies

Pity I was not able to take any pictures of a farm themed birthday I baked for just a couple of days ago, brownies, duck shaped sandwiches, farm animal cookies, cupcakes etc. It was a lot of fun. Anyways, these were a little last minute but managed to accomodate transformers cookies. All done free hand so I guess it is safe to say that they were all handmade as opposed to computer printed sugar sheets. Not too keen on those things. Anyways, hope the little guy likes them.

Cookies for the office

My office is planning a CR weekend in Pangkor this weekend. We will be planting a variety of fruit trees for the monkeys there. A fun way to divide the planting teams. Printed cookies. I love how they turned out.

Ryan's Favourite Things

A childhood friend's son's birthday sometime back but did not have time to upload the pictures. He is a real boy boy with the love for drums, skateboards and guitars. This was his birthday cake and matching cookies. Hope he liked them.

Angry Birds

I am addicted to Angry Birds. So this was a real treat for me as I got a chance to make an angry birds cake for a 7 year old's birthday. Fun fun fun to make, looking forward to more of these...

Birds..... love birds!

Made these for a good friend's daughter's birthday over the weekend. A big birthday party at the KL bird park. Heard the birthday girl had a good good time. More pics will be loaded once I get the pictures of the birthday party. Cookies, cupcakes and 2tiered birthday cake. the cookies were individually hand cut...Did not take pictures of the cupcakes though.......

Agar - Agar

Every now and then I get a craving for basic pandan santan agar-agar. I found a number of recipes online on a number of variations of agar-agar. Decided to go simple and try the rainbow one first. I think these turned out beautifully - after the 3rd attempt. The consistency can be further improved but at least it is not watery like the first time I made these.

Hantaran - blue and white

I was given free hand with this one and I had an idea to do something simple and elegant for this hantaran cake. Blue and white was the theme and I hope the bride liked it.

the Garden

I had only 24 hours to make this cake. So it was like go home, bake the cake, make sure it cools by the morning, and early the next morning, am up early to finish the icing for this cake. I have been inspired by this cake decorater called Amanda Way in Melbourne. This cake is a reflection of that. I love the way her flowers decorate the cake so beautifully. Simple piping designs and yet so whimsical. Unfortunately I have tried googling and she does not seem to have a website.

Anyways this still can be improved but I do love the structured messiness to this cake.

Minis

Mini butter cupcakes for Teachers' Day today too. Perfect for a party, bright, cheery and just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth.
