Garden Theme Cupcakes









This is the first time that i made decorated cupcakes, it's also the first time that i designed cupcakes for children. When Judy first told me that she wanted some flower and butterfly designs, i was thinking of more adult kind of design, those very sweet and pretty that people uses in wedding. But luckily Judy reminded me that they are meant for kids, therefore the design got to be more kiddy. It was then that i realised, oh yah, these are cupcakes are meant for kids, what was i thinking? Perhaps i have been designing cakes for adults, therefore forgotten that children have different perspective. So i quickly when to research on kid's stuffs to come up with this design.
After i finalised my designs, i was very happy and realised that i begin to enjoy making cakes for children. Because i find that cakes for children are usually very cute and by the look of it make one smile. When i was making them, i was very happy and smiling all the time LOL. Hope to have more chance to design children's cakes or cupcakes in the future. They are simply fun to make! Thank you Judy for giving me this opportunity and not forgetting my dear friend, Rachel who recommended my cakes to her.

A rat in the box!

.
I am totally exhausted making this cake. Because there were a few hiccups during the process, i was so stressed out and worried that i could not complete the cake on time. But luckily i was calm enough to handle, everything was under controlled and turned out well.
.
This cake was ordered by a good friend of mine for her colleague, C's birthday. My good friend, E, requested for a mouse, because C was borned in the year of rat and nicknamed rat. C didn't know that my good friend was giving her a cake as a present. So when E passed the box to C and told C be careful and not to shake the box. C casually said "Why? Is there a rat inside?" E bursted into laughter and acknowledge that there was a rat inside. When E texted me about it, i had a good laugh too. What a coincident! There was indeed a "rat" inside the box. LOL

Happy Birthday Shuhua!

.
Hurray! Finally i managed to sent out this cake "successfully". The last time i tried to bake a birthday cake for Shuhua, the cake didn't rise. So despite i finished decorating it, i didn't give it to her because the cake was not nice. And why did i bake it so early when it's not even her birthday? Because i have a super busy schedule this week, so i thought of giving her a early surprised. But luckily i managed to squeeze out sometime this week and baked her this cake. Because i didn't want to disappoint her.

Ok, back to my cake that didn't rise. So i thought it was me, must be because i don't know how to fold the batter correctly, so the cake didn't rise (as i only started baking cakes recently). However, after a while than i figure out it could be due to my baking powder instead. So i went to search how to test if the baking powder is still effective (it's not expired!).
.
To test the effectiveness of baking powder, just mix one teaspoon of it with half a glass of water. If it bubbles, this shows that it's still effective, otherwise replace it. And most importantly, do not store baking powder in the fridge, because condensation may reduced the shelf life/effectiveness of baking powder (this is what happened to mine). So now i know who's the culprit!
.
I have chosen purple colour for the sofa, because this is Shuhua's favourite colour. And instead of the usual buttercake, i created this special flavour for her. Hope that she likes it.
.
It's her birthday today. Happy Birthday Shuhua!

Playing with marshmallow fondant - Birthday cake for my godson


I wanted to bake a fondant cake for my god son, therefore made this cake for practice. I spent 3hrs from covering to decorate, but still have not complete. Mainly because this is my first time using MMF (marshmallow fondant), therefore very slow at moulding the shapes and figurine. Furthermore, i also encountered problem with covering the cake, as my MMF tore and broke when i lift it up. Therefore, it took me quite a while just to cover the cake. It was very tedious and time consuming, but i had fun doing it. Especially when i see everything starts to come together, i was jumping for joy :) Hopefully i can make one for Jadon in Nov.
