For the love of cupcakes

While others may be lazing around doing practically nothing on a rainy afternoon of a public holiday, I was busy baking and decorating my cupcakes. It was fun having making all the nice decoration on top of the yummy cuppies.

Here’s adding on to some of my collections:

This is for my cousin. She had been asking for a Hello Kitty for quite some time now. So here's a Hello Kitty and Marie for kitty lovers like her.

A mini tower cupcakes. Sadly, the day was getting late and I was in hurry to complete this last batch for my cousin to bring back to Singapore. Wish I had more time add more flowers.

This is an order from a friend for a Lychee Rose Cupcakes for the one he loves. I simply love the slight pinkish colored butter cream along with a rose bud topper. Simple yet so elegant! 

Sweet Valentines: Strawberry Yogurt Cupcakes

'Dis year Valentines Day falls within the 15 days Chinese New Year again. So with a gathering cum picnic afternoon with my aunts and cousins on the eve of Valentines' Day, nothing would be more perfect than making them some simple and lovely Strawberry Yogurt cupcakes for 'em, my sweet Valentines.

Flower Bouquet Cuppies

People say flowers and sweets are girls’ best friend and of course diamond too! But ever wonders of combining them into one gift? That was how I came about in having cupcakes nicely arranged on a pretty flower pot. Aren’t them sweet?

This is a wayyy in advance birthday cake or to be more precise, a cake bouquet to a dear friend of mine. She is such a sweet girl that loves everything sweet, literally and I hope she would love this pretty bouquet of cupcakes – a corn flour cake with raspberry mixture and almond strips. By the way, noticed the silver sugar ball? Those are the diamonds *grin*

Happy Birthday (in advance) my sweet dear friend!

Perfect gift for someone dear to us

B&G Annivesary Cupcakes

Aren’t them adorable and loving too? That’s what I thought when I finally completed a set of 9 of my all time favorite Lychee Rose cupcakes.

This time I get the honor to be part of a great couple celebrating their many years of courtships. Along with the cute fondant decorated boy and girl, I wish them both many happy returns with lots of wonderful years to come.

Happy Anniversary my friend!

Raspberry Cheese Cupcakes

I have been baking for quite some time now, yet never once I settled for any cheese cake. The closest I have done was cream cheese frosting *grin*. Not that I do not like cheese cake or anything, it's just never happen, that's all! Even the book full of tempting cheese cake recipes from my birthday gift were still left to dust after many months.

So I thought I'd give this cheese frenzy a go after knowing that my little monsters angels 'niece & nephews' enjoys cheese cake very much. Hence, here you go...Raspberry Cheese Cupcakes!

And the kids, they simply love it!

Happy Clown Birthday Cake

26th July – Today is my little nephew’s birthday! Time really flies…the cheeky little boy is turning 5 this year!

To celebrate his birthday, we had a little party at his home on last Saturday. My mom cooked up a feast for up to nearly 20 young and old family members while I am responsible for a customized birthday cake.

I came out with a cheerful clown as the theme for the cake that goes together with little cuppies on a two-tiered cake stand. As for the cake flavor, I improvised a little from my new  found favorite recipe…Rose flavored cake, then filled with Lychee and Longan.

As soon as the birthday boy blew the candle, the little clowns and decorations on top of the cake were all grabbed away by the fascinated kids. Some of the clowns body parts even end up in their mouth! 

Well, at least I know they love the cakes (sugars) *grin*

Happy Birthday my sweet little nephew…

Surprise farewell Gift

Surprise…surprise!

This is a surprise farewell gift to my dear friend a.k.a my twins who will be leaving the company soon. It is with a bittersweet feeling to see her leaving us… I am sad that she is leaving the gang but then, I feel glad that she found a much better job elsewhere. So I am happy for her too.

Anyway with help from a trusted comrade, we tried to give her a surprise by leaving the cupcakes on her desk, yet somehow we failed even before dropping off the cakes! See the word ‘tried’? Well, it seems that she managed to catch us in the act when I dropped the cakes to the comrade early in the morning. It is just by mere seconds that we might have missed her, but unfortunately she came to work just in time to witness that! Ha! But then again, I am happy that she loved the cuppies and the little-no-so-surprise-anymore surprise on Monday morning *grin*.

Enjoying her sweet times

Carefree

Relaxed

I thought of this sweet girl as the topper to represent her. Just look at how the girl is enjoying her sweet moments while relaxing on bed of colorful flowers...that is exactly what I am hoping for my 'twins' in her new endeavors.


So farewell YL…I wish you best of luck in your new adventure and best wishes.

Moo-Moo Cuties

Aren’t these two little Moo-Moo cuties adorable? 

So as to the recipients too. This Moo-Moo couple is a long belated wedding gift for my uncle and his dear wife. Though they have been married for a while now, but it’s just recently that they took their wedding photos…and that actually triggered me to make them a bride and groom topper in the shape of cow. Why the Moo-Moo then? That is because they were both born in the year of cow!

The handsome groom

The pretty bride

I had their initials and bright colors cut-out flowers to go along with the topper.

To my uncle and his dear wife...I wish both of you happiness and happily ever after!
