Shoe Fetish
I was asked to make a shoe cake. Had huge ideas to make a 3D shoe but I did not succeed in making it, the arch broke when I was assembling the heel. Definitely needs more practice. Thankfully I had already warned my friend who requested this cake for his gf's b'day. And I did give him my backup plan. Anyways, this cake was so chic with the 2 toned pink fondant. I absolutely love it.

Wedding Cake : Victoria
I was given a free hand on baking a wedding cake for a friend's cousin. The theme colour was a deep gold colour but I was allowed to use pale yellow too. For the longest time I was debating whether to go for a sweetie pie kinda cake - which I am always inclined to, or try something different, a more elegant cake. I came up with the design as I went along. Am satisfied with the results, especially with the gold accents.
Apologies my camera does not do justice to the cake.
Christmas Cookies
I have not been updating my blog too often these days simply because I have been very busy with loads of stuff. I am still baking but most are repeat orders so did not want to keep posting the same pictures.
A couple of friends wanted christmas cookies.These were so fun to make. Christmas trees and gingerbread men:) Love them! Merry Christmas to everyone!

Cupcake Queen - Princess
Banana Tart
Yesterday had inspiration when I was baking some cupcakes. I had leftover bananas from the chocolate banana eclairs session so decided to improvise and make a banana tart!. Like the chef on AFC always say " The best recipe is cooking without a recipe" kinda forgot what his name is. This came out very yummy packed full of bananas. EB, hope Abah and Mama like it!

Christmas Time
My favourite time of the year..... holidays and candy canes.. love it! As I had a few request for christmas cupcakes.... I decided to come up with some designs. I tried moving away from the dark red and dark green but somehow, was led back to those traditional christmas colours.... at least for one cupcake:)

Princess Cupcakes
So far I have managed to shun away from using printable icing images. Hmmm somehow don't quite appeal to me. I guess I feel that skill comes with getting the image out with a steady hand and some creativity with icing. Not through the printer. But then again never say never.
Anyways, just sharing some thoughts since these cupcakes would have been a lot more straightforward if I had gotten the princess pictures printed on icing sheets and transplanting them onto the cupcakes. But decided to dabble again into sugar scupting. Crowns, butterflies and stars + Lotsa pink = Juen's princess cupcakes.

Cuppies for daddy and daughter
Cupcake Queen - bloom
A last minute request for Cupcake Queen with a sweety kinda design. The final design was excellent but was sorely dissapointed when I was transporting it today that it flopped onto its side, damaging the icing on one side of the cupcake. Managed to salvage it a little but it became less than perfect.I should have known better to recommend butter cake as it is strong and sturdy. Chocolate cake, with less than 24 hours notice is a little soft to hold icing and keep its balance.
Very sorry Anita! hope you liked the cake though.
I guess cake disasters are inevitable, so far have not had any major disasters. well there is always a first time!

Just for fun!
I had promised my neighbour to pass him some cupcakes (when I have an extra batch). His son loves the cuppies. So these are made just for fun with extra icing and since it was like 1am last night, I decided it is too much effort to take out, wash and change the icing tip, I decided to use complimentary colours all through one tip. The effect, dual toned cupcakes.
