Fresh Lemon Cake


I made this cake yesterday but I forgot to take a nice picture of it before it was devoured. It was indeed a very nice cake, light, lemony and fresh! many gave good reviews and it shall be added into my cake list.

Attempts at flowers


So what did I do with the additional purple buttercream? hmmm tried my hand at piping flowers. I think I do need more practice on this but collectively, the cupcakes look pretty attractive, I think....

The Land Before Time.....



A cute dinosaur cake I made yesterday for a friend's nephew's birthday. I love it!

I was lucky enough to have two requests for "character cakes". One was for a cute 3 year old's birthday and he is of course a great fan of Lightning Mcqueen from Cars. The other was for a cake with a pig holding a rose in its mouth. Hmmmmmmmm it was definitely a lot of fun making these cakes!

Bananas!



Banana cupcakes and a banana loaf. Both topped with caramelised bananas and a drizzle of caramel. Definitely not for one who do not like bananas:)

Cupcakes with daisies




As you can see I went a little overboard with the yellow and made all my cupcakes yellow. Love the colours! so cheery

marigolds



Not too sure whether these are to be accurately called "Marigolds" however when I think of yellow, I think of marigolds. nevermind about the name but what are these? The mini butter cupcakes topped with physalis, or some may call them gooseberries or red lanterns. A tangy fruit that balanced up the sweetness of the buttercream. They were well received!

Cookie Ventures









Over the weekend I managed to find wedding cookie cutters which I have been looking for for ages now. I bought them. Excited over the new find, I decided to venture into unknown territory i.e cutout cookies. These lemon almond cookies turned out fantastic!




Somemore pictures....

Chocolate Sugar Cookies



I tried out a new recipe last night. Brought some to office and from the reviews, they liked it. Nice and a little chewy. I shall endeavour different colours and design with another batch. These are try-outs.

Cinnamon Raisin Buns


I had bought this ready mix bun flour and I had tried making it over the weekend. As usual once out of the oven, it was hot, soft and yummy but I left it to cool till the next day and it turned real hard. Will no longer use ready-mixed flour. Will try making buns again from scratch!

Eggalicious


Sunshines!

Yummy egg tarts. This use to be my all time childhood favourite treat. Buttery and sunny looking, this never fails to entice people towards the simple custard filling and crumbly buttery crust.

Baby love



An apple tart for a baby celebration! a request for blue hearts. I made them out of fondant, they turned out a nice blue.

The Mini






Ah! how nice it is to look at cute beautiful things. Had some extra butter cake batter last night so I decided to make some mini cupcakes again. This time using a different nozzle to experiment with a different design. The smell of butter was intoxicating!

Banana Caramel Cheesecake


This honestly still need to be improved. It was baked in a bain marie but turned out pretty soft in the centre. The caramel, a little overwhelming. Will see how the reviews go.
