Glam Loaves

Baked some butter loaves over the weekend and decided that I am going to try making a series of "GLam Loaves" for the festivals. Easy to cut, easy to eat, no fuss.

My Nephew : Baby James' Cuppies

My nephew's full moon was over the weekend and I was given the priviledge of baking his full moon cupcakes to be delivered to friends and family. Nice pastel-ly colours with baby designs on it was the way to go. Chia, will definitely bake you some when you get back end of the year for a belated celebration! hope you like it.

Princess Cupcakes

Did these last night as well. Love the princess theme. Although it sounds simple enough with loads of pink and purple but coming up with something unique is sometimes both time consuming and challenging. Hope the birthday girl likes this.

Baby Shower Cupcakes

Creative juices were flowing last night with loads of ideas and colour schemes. I had a last minute request for some baby shower cupcakes. I did not have time to do fancy icing designs ( was thinking rubber duckies, baby onesies etc) but came out with what I would perceive as simple but satisfying designs.

The New Rose

Piping icing comes with loads of practice. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. Being a self- taught baker armed with a few of mum's recipes, I like to buy new piping tips and try them out when I have the time. Not being confined to the ideas you learn in baking classes, always good to experiment. I absolutely love these little roses. Unique and charming.ith

Transformers : Bumble Bee

I had gotten used to doing cakes with optimus prime on it but this time a request for bumble bee. It was incredibly difficult to find a proper picture of bumble bee that was feasible to be translated in icing and yet not overtly simplified. The other thing was, I discovered that there are at least 2 versions of this character. The anime version and the what I call "movie" version. The anime version was attractive enough as it was definitely doable in icing but gave the movie version a chance and it turned out to be something I am very proud of. Also the birthday boy's mum decided that it was the "movie" version her son wanted.

Anyways enjoy the pictures.

cupcake bouquet

A cupcake bouquet I assembled last night. Just wanteed to post some pictures.

Watchzone

Some congratulatory cupcakes for the opening of Watchzone.Colours and design were pretty much chosen, all I needed to do was execute it.

Ribbons and Roses

Last minute orders these past few days for a load of cupcakes. Everytime I face these kinda situations I am glad that I had spent some time sitting in front of my work table creating icing designs for emergency uses. These ribbons and roses were made just this past weekend. Just some simple cupcakes. Photography could have been better.

Baby Dylan

Cupcakes for little baby Dylan's party. A friend ordered these for a friend's newborn baby party. Hmmm only found out the name after I made the cupcakes but these are oh so adorable!

By the way, apologies for the bad photography, was tired and I reckon my hand was shaking.

Little Miss!

Birthday cake for twin girls. I absolutely love Little Miss and Mr Men. Finally I got a chance to bake a cake with this theme. Well more of Little Miss. I love it!

Cupcake craving

I think a friend of mine may have had a craving for cupcakes. Hmmm wonder whether anyone of you do. I usually don't but every once in awhile I get that sudden craving for butter and vanilla. This is it!

Eileen's Cupcakes

Adorable mini cupcakes for a party. Eileen send me pictures with them on the cupcake stand!

Favors for 70th birthday party

I am in the midst of completing these "thank you" cookies for a lady who is celebrating her 70th birthday. Lovely colours a real treat! MOre pictures will follow with the complete packaging.

Vanilla Malted Cookies

So at 1030pm last night I decided to embark on some cookie baking. Not usually a big fan of baking cookies I found this brilliant recipe that I just had to try. After checking that I have all the ingredients required, to my dismay, I left the printed recipe at the office. Not prepared to give up, I went online and copied the recipe on a piece of paper. All went well, cookies looked nice, until I tasted a piece and realised hmmm..... this cookie tastes more savoury than sweet. I relooked at my recipe and guess what, I forgot to copy "sugar" so no sugar, very healthy cookies. It tasted nice actually but having a sweet cookie in mind, I drizzled some chocolate on it. The cookies turned out nice with the chocolate, but will make another batch with sugar next time.

Cycling Enthusiast

Baked and iced this cake in one day, can be done but was in a rush. Am happy with how this banana walnut cake turned out though. Love them little bicycles....

Farewell cupcakes

Some last minute requests yesterday,these are for some friends of mine who will be migrating very soon to Canada. Simple and quick. I think it does relay the message...

Birthday Cake - purple and maroon

I love the colour combination of this birthday cake. Simple designs but so intense. Orange poppy seed cake underneath the sinful buttercream.

Mini All American Apple Pies

Apple Pies for giveaways in celebration of a colleague's promotion. How fantastic is that!These were pretty labour intensive but love the end result.

Michelle's Wedding Cupcakes

It's a Monday mornign but am still recovering not from a hangover but from the frenzy of the past weekend. I had taken on quite a number of orders so it was baking non-stop Thurs, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A lilac & silver themed wedding had me baking over 300 cupcakes in different shades for a friend's wedding. She had a brilliant idea of putting the cupcake stand next to the registration table during cocktails so her guests can help themselves to little cuppies. The figurines were from the bride herself. I think it definitely added some character to the cake stand.
