*heeheehee... i can put anything i want on top!! YAY!!! :)

Panda twins

Oh hello... it's been a while hasn't it?
i know.. what a slacker you all must think. Things are a bit hectic in the land of mine these days. 9-5 (or 9 to whatever hour) job is taking over life at the moment.

And i eat sweet is taking a bit of a back seat the moment... :(

But when Kis & William's birthday roll along, there's definitely a time for a some baking. (^_-)

This is just a simple mudcake with thick dark chocolate ganache icing. Split the cake in half and put a thin layer of ganache in the middle as well. Bit of a chocolate overload - but if you're only having a slice, then rest asure, you're okay :)


Why the panda/ WWF u must think? That's definitely what Kis said when she saw the cake.
Well, it goes hand in hand with my present to them. A pair of panda t-shirts by booware :)

cupcakes for a 21st birthday bash

This one's from yesterday actually. Wendy called to arrange for cupcakes for her daughter's 21st birthday. I thought this was sweet - and i found out that this is going to be a surprise birthday party for her daughter, i thought this is SUPER sweet of her!!! :)

So, there's just over 180 cupcakes on this one. I thought it'll be easier for everyone if they are set on site - and so that's what we decided to do. :)

There's 2 types of cupcakes for this one.
1. sinful dark chocolate - arranged in the shape of "21" - adorned with single pink fondant flower
2. vanilla cupcakes with oreo buttercream - in keeping to the pink and silver theme, i thought the oreo cupcakes will be most suitable. Scattered with small pink flower in a lighter tone - they allow the sinful ones to stand out.

Happy 21st Birthday!!!!
I'm sure the night was a blast!!!

angels for taylor

These ones are for Taylor's christening. Brett (Taylor's dad ^_^) emailed me to ask if i was interested (of course...) And after that I started emailing Nicole (Taylor's lovely lovely mum) with the details for what she wanted the cupcakes to be like.

Nicole came up with a few ideas of angels, booties, lots of things related to babies. I showed her pictures of Reuben's birthday cupcake. Did a few trial - and thought maybe an Angel & a few other things with angel's wings might fit the brief.

Nicole replied - the invitation was noah's ark. YAY!!! it fits!!! :P

And so i started making the duckies with angels wings :) Along with an angel & a teddybear to sit on the 'main cake'

So here we are - few photos of the set.

I'm really really pleased with how it turned out :) Dropped it off at their place the evening before the Christening - had the chance to meet Mr Taylor himself , and he is just one delightful baby. :)

Happy Christening Taylor!!!!

wedding cake cookies

This is another post that's been loooonnnnggg overdue.

Towards the end of last year, John asked if i'm interested in doing cookies as bonbonniere for his wedding early this year. It was an absolute honour to be able to do this for him. Not only is he a great friend, he was an amazing boss of mine once upon a time :)

The house turns into somewhat of a cookie factory for a few days prior to the wedding.
The house smells like gingerbread for days, all the tables in the house are lined with rows and rows of cookies in various stages of decoration :)

Few cracked - not to worries - always made extra & always a stomach in the house ready to take care of the broken ones :)

When all were done - they each get put into their own individual plastic & tied with an aqua ribbon on top :) Ready to go - to the happy couple.

Few extras were included - just in case. And through the fabulous world of facebook, I even manage to see a tiny tiny glimpse of the cookies at the reception.

Congratulations John & Lindsay!!!! Wishing you both nothing but the best!!! :)

(sport) car

So when Danny contacted me to do cupcakes for her boyfriend, I thought "Sure!!!!" :) :) :) why not right? But when she mentioned sports car the thought went to "Aih....... uh oh....." :P

Not only that I've never done a car before, sports car is sleek and everyone has an image of a sports car in their head somewhere. And so... the thought of a sports car lover looking at a car that may not resemble a sports car - is a little scary.

But Danny is one of the nicest person I've ever spoken to. She's very generous with her kind words :) Giving me confidence - after showing her the trial of the cars.

We decided on a few cars to go on top of the cupcake set.
Silver lettering spelling out "Happy Birthday Alex" were set on top of the sinful chocolate cupcakes & mocha cupcakes. A few red sports car as well as one bright yellow sports car finished it off, along with scattered little stars in the same colours.

Hope they're happy with the final set :)
