MIA 1st Birthday Party :)

Say Happy Birthday to Mia!
10'' square chocolate mudcake covered with fondant and decorated with handcrafted figurines :)
It took me a while to do the cake, and this cake is a real challenge for me as it is big and lots of figurines!
The baby blocks are the hardest one as it is very hard to get perfect square shape :P
I am glad that I finish it and I am happy with the outcome too^^



Miss Bunny, Miss Duckie, Mr Teddy and Mr Doggie will be attending Mia's birthday party ^^






Ready to be delivered ^^
Grace loves the cake, hope they have a great party with Mia :)

Party at home, the playground~~~
Very cute birthday girl - Mia in koala bear costume :

Happy Birthday to you little sweetie Mia~~~~

7'' square cake with pink baby booties :)

First covering a square cake, decorated with handcrafted pink booties.
I know I can make a better pair of booties next time, well nice attempt!
Little baby footprints on the side of the name.
This is a very simple design.
Covering a square cake can be very tricky compare to round cake, thank you to Janique that shows me the trick in doing this beautiful cake :)

Something new - pearls border :)

Baked Avocado Prolly Cheesecake with ganache and pistachio nuts

I always wanted to make avocado cheesecake, but lots of idea in my mind and this time I decided to make baked avocado cheesecake with avocado slices inside.
Then a thin layer of ganache on the top plus crushed pistachio nuts on the top.
This is the 1st attempt and I hope everything is good!

My friends Erjan is actually the one that give me this idea, and the cake actually turn out great!
Avocado prolly is a drink with blended avocado with nuts and chocolate.
This cheesecake is much more creamy because of the avocado and you can see the avocado slices when I cut the cake.
Rich of avocado flavour, Australia avocado is very versatile and used in lots of dishes because the taste is not bitter and it is very good for kids and baby.
Australia selling avocado everywhere and you can get it very easily in fruit store or supermarket :)

For this cake, the ganache and the nuts actually give the cake more taste other than avocado and all of them make good combination.

One of my friend Samuel tasted it and he really likes it ^^

GreenTea Delight ^^

Specially made this for one of my work colleague - Erjan
I dont really do much greentea cakes as I am really not a fan of greentea.
I do like greentea but not as much as others do:)

This cake has 3 layers of greentea sponge with chocolate ganache and red bean sandwiched in between of each layer,
covered with greentea cream then decorated with fresh cream,
bits of greentea powder dusted and chocolate buttons :)
I hope he will like the taste of the cake, enjoy Erjan!

2 tiers cake for parents 33rd anniversary, pink flowers theme with handcrafted figurines :)

Congratulation to bobby's parent for their 33rd anniversary, how sweet :)
This is my first 2 tiers cake, such a great challenge ^^

This is made of chocolate mudcake with 8'' base and 7'' top.

Phew luckily the cake come out great and within my expectation :)

2 butterflies are added when I touch up the cake :)

The hardest part in making this cake is to deliver the cake, I am so worry that the flowers gonna fall off and the figurines are gonna shake.

Glue them 2 days before, so everything is firm and stable ^^


I also did extra cookies for them as a little gift :)

Hope they will love the cake.

Captain "E" Helmet Cake and Cookies for Ethan's 5th Big Day

My first time making such a great challenge - a semi sphere cake (half cut egg shape)
Actually I am working 5 days in a week now, so barely can squeeze any time to make orders especially fondant cake.
But I still try my best to reach my customer's needs, I know I will be able to learn a lot too from here hehe

Elaine specially design this cake and ask me to make it for his son's 5th birthday.
A very simple design but will show lots of mistake if procedure is not done correctly.
10'' chocolate mud cake with ganache filling and thin layer of fondant.

Well, the hardest part of making this cake is when covering the cake with fondant because of the round surface makes it to have lots of wrinkle and imperfection.
So I have to cover the ugly part with some decoration and ribbon keke

An additional exception that I also make him 25 pieces of cookies, my first batch of fondant cookies actually :p
I am pretty happy with the results actually. What do you think?
I think the next cookies order will be much much better :)

Guess what this cake is so heavy like around 3-4 Kilo due to the weight of mudcake, ganache and fondant.
Good thing is they all like my cake and cookies,  I think this order is worth of my time making it  along with another 2 cake orders this week :p
Happy Birthday Ethan! Hope you will love this cake :)

Pandan Layer Cake with better recipe and look :)

My second attempt on this cake with adjusted recipe of my own.
The jelly turn out great, firm and nice texture to go with the pandan chiffon :)

My customer loves this cake and I am so happy when he says that he feels like he is home when he ate this cake!

Well,  an improvement to be made is to keep an eye when cooking the jelly so that no more lumps :p
Another busy working week while making cake orders~~~~
