Minnie birthday cake and cupcakes for Einsley's 1st birthday

Vanilla Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream

It has been a while since last time I made cupcakes.
Since I have extra buttercream I decided to make some cupcakes for Jiu's daughter, Miranda upcoming 1st birthday party.
Very simple vanilla cupcakes, the new recipe that I have amended that the cake is not gonna come off from the patty pan yet first and moist :)

The cupcakes is piped with strawberry buttercream in pink colour.

I decorate my cupcakes with some handcrafted strawberries, leaves and flower plus some silver balls.
The the rest is with round number "1" plaque ^^

I am glad that the kids loves the cake especially the buttercream, they just lick off the cream before they eat the cake haha

 Jiu and his wife love the cupcakes as well, I hope they have a great celebration with Miranda^^

Once again, Happy Birthday to Miranda~~~~

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 :)

Red Velvet Indulgence

One of my customer has returned back for another 10'' cake for her colleague farewell party.
She is after a red velvet cake and she loves the design of my first red velvet cake, which is full of mini roses on the top and white chocolate pieces around the side.
I am actually quite confident in making this cake after so many times of taking order for birthday cake.
I hope I can make something the would please them and they would love my work and taste of the cake.

Pink roses and rope borders cream cheese frosting on the cake, and also white chocolate pieces on the side with lovely hearts pattern :)
It looks so girly for me, but I think she will definitely love it :)

It is ready to be delivered to PEI^^

With some red velvet crumbs, I also make them into these red velvet
ball coated with Cadbury Milk Chocolate.
It is nice to eat and it is a sweet delight which I think every girl will love this ^^

And also with some of the red velvet cake batter, I make them into these little
cupcakes piped with pink cream cheese frosting :)

Christmas Chocolate Cupcakes, Merry Christmas to all^^

My first christmas cupcakes in Melbourne, wanna wish all my friends and family a merry christmas in advance ;)
I have been thinking the designs for my cupcakes since 3 weeks ago, while these 2 weeks I saw lots of people starting to post their 
christmas cakes/logs and dessert, which give me more inspiration and idea!
So I have to start my christmas project these few days ^^

These are chocolate cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting and edible Christmas decorations :)
I use red and green food colour to make it looks more christmas.

1. green frosting topped with santa claus hat
2. red frosting topped with snow flake
3 green frosting topped with candy canes
4.red and green frosting xmas tree with stars and sugar pearls
5. red and white frosting with gingerbread man
6. green wreath with mini pearls and red ribbon
7.red frosting with snowman

Me myself personally like the one with wreath the most, I learn how to do it by following one
of my favourite blog.
It doesn't look like exact the same one but it just look simply pretty :)

They are all hand crafted gumpaste decorations by me :)

Hope you all enjoy my blog's pictures :)
Wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, have a wonderful december and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 in advance^^
