Vintage Rose

A twist to an engagement cake I made a couple of months back. Same colour but with some changes for a 70th birthday. The gold somehow gives it a vintage classy look. The flowers were requested to be multi-coloured. Well kinda, opted for multi shaded to match the lilac. Orange poppy seed it was.

The Cow!

A friend's son's favourite toy is a black and white cow. So a fun birthday cake with a cow theme. Love this cake! It was a cherry almond cake which is currently quite a hit.

Barney two

A request for a Barney cake. Decided to try a new design for the cake. Was quite happy with the design but the purple could have been a little lighter. Happy Birthday Katelyn!

Chinese New Year

This year I took no orders for cookies but I decided to venture into cake loaves. There were numerous request for cake loaves either as gifts or just for serving guests. Definitely and easier option than a whole cake. Easy to cut into small slices for people to taste.I made some carrot walnut loaves with cream cheese frosting, lemon drizzle, cherry loaves and chocolate buttercream loaves.

I do apologise for the poor quality of some of the photos, looks like I would have to get myself a proper camera soon....

Gwen's cake

It was baby Gwen's 1st Birthday Cake yesterday. Something pastel and nice I was told. Love the cake, very english!

Spring Cupcakes

A request from a faithful customer. I love making these cute little cupcakes, the colours are so enticing! These cupcakes reminds me of spring.

Poochie

Cake for a dog lover. The daschund on the cake was really cute! hope the birthday girl liked it. I again am finding it difficult to rotate the pictures. Will settle with this for now.

All American Apple Pie

This came out delicious. It's even better served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream. A new recipe I had just tried last night eventhough it was already past 10 pm.

Raspberry Crumble Slice

A new recipe I tried last night with satisfactory results. A nice buttery crumbly slice perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. My friends and I had it for breakfast! A nice start to the day.

Perfect Muffins

I finally made it! perfect blueberry orange almond muffins.BOA Muffins. Moistness from freshly squeezed orange juice, jam packed with flavours of bursting blueberries and crunchy almond flakes. I did not take the cross section of the muffin, they are really good! Best thing is it is almost healthy with the use of egg whites and a little unsalted butter.

Daddy's Birthday

It was dad's birthday on the 1st January. Always a holiday for us:) Baked a rich butter cake covered with buttercream - dad's favourite. Decided not to tint the buttercream any colour and opted for a simple design. I like the designs I made for the sides. Gives the cake a little more character. Happy Birthday Pa!

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!

Casino Royale?

A casino themed tiered cake for a casino themed party. I love it! Nikky..send me pictures for the cake in action!

Pink and White Cupcakes

A request from a friend - cupcakes for her own consumption but she wanted them pink and white. Simple and nice.

Christmas Holiday

It is the Christmas Holidays for me from the 20th of December till 10 Jan 09. I will be away during this time so if you are craving for cakes, hold on till Jan! In the meantime Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Cupcake Queen - Princess

Yet another request for the Cupcake Queen with a princess theme. This time I made sure I packed it properly to avoid another disaster toppling. Sweet and nice for a 6 yr old's birthday.

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!

Who said cupcakes can't be serious?

Capital Markets? graphs? currency? bull and bear? hmmmmm............ cupcakes for a birthday at the office. I love these! This is exactly why I choose not to have a list of "set" designs. Always open to different ideas and themes.
