Soft and Q Pandan Pudding :)




It has been a while since last time I blogged, I am busy working and got no extra time :(
Finally I got a perfect pandan pudding that are specially requested by my customer,
I hope he likes the new version of my pandan pudding.
Maybe I should say he will find that this is what he is looking for hahahaha...

This adjusted version of my pudding is softer and not too dry, the texture is between jelly
and kuih so I think should taste very nice.
Amount of sweetness is perfect, I also love the shinny look when I just unmould it from the cake tin.
Taaa Da, unmoulded perfectly from the cake tin yay it looks shinny with no air bubbles ^^
I really feel like cutting through the pudding and see how's the texture ehehehe
The texture is set properly but not too firm which is what I am looking for all the time,
now I have finally made it :D
I can even hold the slice on my hand without breaking it but still taste Q and moist :)

Pork Floss Onigri


It is my day off today, hubby is off to work this morning.
I wake up quite early today, have a cup of coffee and I see some remaining sushi rice in the container.
Will be cooking tonight, so let's prepare some lunch to bring to work fro tomorrow!

I feel like making onigiri since it is very easy and I have got some pork floss to go with it ^^
This onigiri mould is just so useful, I bought this in Malaysia which is so much cheaper in price.
You can make two standard and even size onigiri at the same time with you favourite fillings or ingredients :)

The only thing you have to do is cook the rice, mix it with some sushi vinegar and get ready some pork floss.
I stuff the pork floss on the middle, then press the mould tightly and there you go, a nicely shaped onigiri ^^

I have also decorated with some seaweed, I am sure this will enhance hubby's appetite hahaha
Who doesn't like pretty stuff?

Butter Cake for Wayne + Tiramisu Mousse Cake with Biscuit base for Hudson

Everyone must have eaten butter cake before, nice and rich butter flavour cake is always the most suitable item for afternoon tea or simply a break snack.

I get this recipe from my mum which she learnt it from her sifu.
This is such a nice and tasty recipe yet simple to make.


Normally people order tiramisu cake, not tiramisu mousse because what I think is that
tiramisu only have very little sponge or sponge fingers that soaked in expresso and the rest is the creamy filling.
One my customer loves mousse cake and he wants everything in mousse form, so he requested this tiramisu mousse  cake with biscuit base :)

 I am having some time t give it a thought of how to make this as he doesn't want any sponge/sponge fingers in btw of the mousse.
So I did a layers of coffee mousse on the bottom, followed by the normal one on second layer then dusted with cocoa powder.
It does taste like tiramisu but without any sponge in btw at the same time, very nice and soft eating texture :)



I hope he will like this cake, although is its softer than normal mousse cake.
Hopefully the taste of the cake can satisfy him as well as his taste bud ^^

Pandan Layer Cake

This cake is so popular and requested by every of my friend in KK, but the first person that asking me to do this is one of my regular customer from Melbourne :)


Pandan layer cake is generally pandan sponge/chiffon layers with pandan jelly custard in between, so it is more like having kuih and cake at the same.time
The taste is very unique with strong pandan flavour :)
I do also covered the cake with a bit of coconut,  pandan is actually a good friend with coconut.
For my first Pandan Layer Cake, the layers squeezed together a bit so not clearly seen.
The top jelly is very thick while the bottom 2 was very thin.
Don't worry, the next pandan cake will be perfect hehehehehe

The chiffon shrink a lot when come out from the oven, I guess this is because I greased the tin.
Next time I shall do the chiffon sponge without greasing the pan and see what will happen :P
The cake is sliced and ready into box to be delivered to the birthday boy^^
I hope he likes the cake and Happy Birthday to Will :)

Tiramisu from Jeannie for His 23rd


Tiramisu!!! Who doesn't like tiramisu :p
Finally there's a customer order this cake for her loves one.
Its Jeannie again that having this cake as a surprise for her boyfriend 23rd birthday, lucky him :p

I remember last year I also make a tiramisu for hubby for his birthday celebration hehehe
Maybe tiramisu is very suitable for guy's birthday ???
I piped some chocolate filigri on the sponge fingers, so that it looks not so plain and pretty.
Instead of dusting whole top of the cake with cocoa powder, I did in alternately.
Obviously, somehow the cocoa powder just soak the moisture of the cake which doesn't look pleasant, so I guess making it this way can reduce the imperfection yet different ^^

A heart is requested by Jeannie to show her love towards Lam, how sweet~~~
I hope he will like the cake :)

And again, Happy birthday to McRon Lam, have a great one with Jeannie ^^

Chocolate Mudcake & Vanilla Cupcakes for Isla's 1st Birthday

This is my very first fondant cake order from my friend's sister.
She is ordering this cake for her daughter 1st birthday party.
At first I thought she is after fresh cream cake or cream cake, but then she says she wants a fondant cake. A bit nervous but I am getting exciting!
The picture in the top is the design of the cake she wants me to make, she design it all by herself so sweet~~

Chocolate cake is the flavour that she is after, hmm sounds yummy for both kids and adults yea?
Obviously, Isla loves pink color hehehehe

Everything is done according to the design, except for few things that I amended after few discussion with her.
The bunny looks a bit different, I try my best to make it look as exact as possible but somehow picture from computer cannot be applied to decoration as everything is handcrafted so it might look weird if I do 100% the same.
She doesn't mind at all ahaha, luckily~~~~~
I am very happy that her family actually say "WOW" when they see the cake hehe.
Katie and her family all love my work, this makes me in a very good mood all day long^^
I learn how to make the ribbon/bow from a cake book, this look really pretty
and nice isn't?
A picture sent from Ji Sung's phone, here's the birthday girl Isla ^^
I didnt see her when I delivered the cake, but she looks so cute~~~
Lover her Pinky pink dress!


She also order a dozen of cupcakes to go with the big cake, vanilla cucpakes with pink butter icing and decorated with rainbow thousands and fresh strawberry :)


It took me some time to finish this gumpaste decoration in advance.
Hearts, butterflies, little flowers, bunny and some alphabets all done^^

Again, trying on new recipe from a book, I am also using new recipe for the chocolate mud cake.
This cupcakes recipe turn out very good, not over rising or flowing out in the oven, not peeling off from the patty pan when it is bakes. This is the major problem that I am facing all the time, now no more problem with the new recipe yay ^^
The recipe is just enough for a dozen of cupcakes, not too less and not too much, I love this recipe and finally~~~~

Same thing applies to my chocolate mud cake, nice and good texture with nice flavour.
This is what I am gonna use for future chocolate mud cake orders hehehehe
Pink butter icing is piped on the cupcakes, looking nice and even.
This is what I gonna do at my workplace soon, ah I am so nervous~~~~~

Being a cake decorator is fun sometimes, but if you are pushed by someone
under a stress and new environment, everything can be so different and bad ><



I think the cupcake looks pretty even without the strawberry hehehe, what do you think

Got this little gift treat when I am delivering the cake to her house, filled with lollies and green tea bag^^ so sweet ~~~~~
Happy birthday to you Isla :) Wish you stay healthy and happy, getting prettier and sweet :)
