Spongebob Squarepants

Gosh! was this hard to do. I was always under the impression that spongebob would be one of the easiest characters to make but no no no no. Especially when it is so small to fit medium cupcakes. I can say that I am pretty happy with how they turned out but of course can be improved with time.

Wedding cupcakes - peach and white

I made this last night and was planning on taking loads of pictures from different angles ( because I think they are so sweet!) but plans were foiled when my camera battery died on me and as I was rushing, could not find my charger. The white sugarpaste is imprinted with filigree like patterns but did not catch it with my dead camera.Argh!!! hopefully I would be able to get more pictures from the bride herself.

Graduation Cookies

A move away from the traditional black, I was asked to make cheery coloured mortar board for a graduation function. All fun!

Ribbons and Bows

Finally embarked on making some sugarpaste bows for birthday cakes. was initially going to do the loopy ones but decided that these bows are way more whimsical. Although not entirely perfect, was very happy with the whimsy it brings to normal cakes.

Birthday Cake for Grandma

A request for a pastel-ly coloured cake for grandma's birthday. Simple and so laura ashley!

Deepavali

Deepavali was a few days of baking frenzy. I made quite a number of loaf cakes during that period.... did not have the time to post them. Hope all had a good time on Saturday, many people around my neighbourhood certainly did with fireworks going off till the wee hours of the morning. was not complaining in fact, kinda enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday Eileen!

A simple birthday cake for a friend. Sometimes, simple is nice.

Candy Cupcakes

I was asked to make some cupcakes with the theme colours being light pink and light orange. The colours just scream out to me "Candy!" Pale and lovely.

Darren's Barney Cake

A request for a slightly more elaborate barney cake from the ones I usually make. 3D wordings and the number 2. Happy Birthday Darren!

Cupcakes for Raya

Some medium sized cupcakes made for a Raya open house.

Wedding cake - Lilac and White

A wedding cake I made recently for a lilac and white themed wedding. Hope it survives the journey to Malacca.

Fashionista!

Birthday cake for a 9year old fashionista. These are just different angles of the same cake. Mustlah, all views are different:)

Raya Cuppies

One of the many cakes for Raya. Love the colours of these little rosettes.

ROCK STAR!

A set of Rock Star themed cupcakes. Red, white and black were the colours of the day. Love these!

Selamat Hari Raya!

Wishing all Selamat Hari Raya and happy holidays. Am fully booked during this period so will be busy baking and will also be doing some travelling. woohoo!

Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

There were plenty of requests for me to come up with some chocolate orange cupcakes. Never knew that this pairing would be so popular, only remember it from Jaffa Cakes in the UK. Well found a recipe which I thought I should try and these came out looking beautiful, the chocolate icing is definitely a keeper, light and luscious, the cake definitely had the chocolate orange element but still needs to be improved on. So watch this space. More to come!

Branded Cupcakes

I approached these cupcakes with caution. Replicating famous brands are really quite a challenge especially if one is not using one of the printed icing sheets. I am satisfied with the way the brand logos came out. Hope the birthday girl likes them!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It has been a very happening birthday this year, usually it is pretty low key but today, there were so many surprises, from surprise birthday lunch which was great fun with my colleagues and some nice nice gifts. Dinner tonight with hubby. Anyways, it was business as usual as far as cake baking is concerned. Took the opportunity to pass some cuppies to a colleague who also celebrates her birthday today. Happy birthday Iza!

Was trying really hard to get the colour of the roses, they are a deep deep red which most of the time does not come out in the photos. Well I tried lah....

Pandan Chiffon

Had a craving for simple pandan chiffon yesterday so decided to just make one at home as opposed to buying it from random places. Don't like the ones with garish green colouring and a lot of commercial pandan chiffon lack the fragrance of pandan. Homemade always better.

I recalled it was about 11pm after Naddy's farewell dinner that I started extracting pandan juice. I decided to be ambitious and make 2 cakes instead, not allowing the pandan juice to go to waste. The first one, as pictured above came out as soft as clouds. Incredibly fragrant and so comforting when eaten. The second one.....hopes of blessing someone with it today were dashed as it totally collapsed on me because it was undercooked. At 1230am, my oven timer rang and I thought hmmm looks cooked enough only to be dissapointed this morning. Never bake when in a bad mood or when sleepy.

Will definitely make again, hands up Pandan Chiffon fans, who knows one might come your way soon enough.

Bye Bye Blackbird!

Some farewell cupcakes for a friend who is making her way to the UK to do yet another masters. Each design symbolises something, hope she is able to figure it out and have a laugh!

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.
