Transformers Cookies



Pity I was not able to take any pictures of a farm themed birthday I baked for just a couple of days ago, brownies, duck shaped sandwiches, farm animal cookies, cupcakes etc. It was a lot of fun. Anyways, these were a little last minute but managed to accomodate transformers cookies. All done free hand so I guess it is safe to say that they were all handmade as opposed to computer printed sugar sheets. Not too keen on those things. Anyways, hope the little guy likes them.

Cookies for the office



My office is planning a CR weekend in Pangkor this weekend. We will be planting a variety of fruit trees for the monkeys there. A fun way to divide the planting teams. Printed cookies. I love how they turned out.

Ryan's Favourite Things




A childhood friend's son's birthday sometime back but did not have time to upload the pictures. He is a real boy boy with the love for drums, skateboards and guitars. This was his birthday cake and matching cookies. Hope he liked them.

Agar - Agar


Every now and then I get a craving for basic pandan santan agar-agar. I found a number of recipes online on a number of variations of agar-agar. Decided to go simple and try the rainbow one first. I think these turned out beautifully - after the 3rd attempt. The consistency can be further improved but at least it is not watery like the first time I made these.

Hantaran - blue and white


I was given free hand with this one and I had an idea to do something simple and elegant for this hantaran cake. Blue and white was the theme and I hope the bride liked it.

the Garden


I had only 24 hours to make this cake. So it was like go home, bake the cake, make sure it cools by the morning, and early the next morning, am up early to finish the icing for this cake. I have been inspired by this cake decorater called Amanda Way in Melbourne. This cake is a reflection of that. I love the way her flowers decorate the cake so beautifully. Simple piping designs and yet so whimsical. Unfortunately I have tried googling and she does not seem to have a website.

Anyways this still can be improved but I do love the structured messiness to this cake.

Minis


Mini butter cupcakes for Teachers' Day today too. Perfect for a party, bright, cheery and just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Peach Blueberry Tart for the office


Wondering why I did not take Monday off since it is a public holiday tomorrow. Baked this for the office today, anything to make it better. Tasty but could be further improved.

Cars themed birthday cake - the fierce one


I was asked to make this fierce Cars character. something Dragon. I think it looks fierce enough. Anyways, Happy Birthday Kieren!

Alexandria's Cake


A cake inspired by cinderella, a butter chocolate chip cake with blue icing. Please do note that buttercream with strong colours will stain at least your tongue. This is actually one of my favourites, beautiful she is. Hope little Alexandria liked it!

Laena's Cake




A beautiful wedding, a beautiful cake. The bride, requested for a white cake but I added some pink ribbons to make it a little "warmer" as opposed to a completely white cake. I am happy with how this turned out. Some of the pictures were taken before delivery and one at the venue. I am proud to say I handmade the sugar flowers myself *big *grin* Congrats Laena and Usama!

Baby Shower at the office






This post is not so much to feature the cakes but the fun stuff that we have been up to at the office. 3 of our colleagues are very pregnant and should be delivering in the next few weeks. So we organised a baby shower themed "chicks". Some pictures to enjoy....

Aircraft Carrier


This was nice to make althought I wished I had a little bit more time to make little jet plans to sit on top of the cake.

Nikky's baby shower



Made a cake for a friend's baby shower last weekend. It was a beach themed party and I wanted something that meets the theme, something not too busy or gaudy, and something baby-ish. I think the simple designs look really nice.

A lion and a hippo




This was a really charming cake if I may say so myself. Had all these ideas about black zebra stripes covering the cake and all but at the end decided that since this is for a little girl, it's best if I make it whimsical and sweet. She wanted a lion and a hippo on a pink cake. I love this!

Under the Sea




A last minute request for an "Under the sea" themed cake. A double layer chocolate cake, layered with buttercream. It was fun making this, finally got to use some of my seashell cutters.

Valentine's Cranberry Shortbread


I did not take any valentine's day orders but decided to pamper my colleagues at the office with some cranberry shortbread cookies. These were nice, very nice with tea.
