Princess Shernice turned ONE

Princess Shernice turned ONE yesterday!

Her mummy requested me to help her with little Shernice’s birthday cake and she got only two wishes – a chocolate cake and something pretty for her little princess. So what would be more perfect that having a chocolate with blueberry filling cupcakes adorned with princess-y themed fondant decorations. I proposed for a two-tier with the center piece of a little girl sitting on a 5” inch chocolate cake layered with blueberry and butter cream. She bought the idea and here are the outcome *winks* Sweet and pretty just like the birthday princess!

Happy Sweet One Year Old Birthday. May you grow smart and pretty just like your mummy.

 

 

 

All packed and ready for delivery!

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! 

Welcoming Jaden Ho

Born on the first day of Chinese Lunar calendar, little Jaden is the new addition to my family. The first born to my youngest uncle and his lovely wife will be celebrating his full-moon in just couple of days. So in celebrating little Jaden's arrival, I bake him a carrot walnut cake then decorated with a cute little baby holding on his blankie. Well, since little Jaden is still too young to savor the cake, so it'll be for the proud mummy and daddy to savor then *grin*

CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of your bundle of joy!

Chocolate Mousse: Fancy yet simple

I grew up with the thought that mousse was a fancy dessert to have and obviously something that fancy would be pretty complicated to make. I would go ooo’d and ahh’d over it when were served with one! But I was all wrong until yesterday *wink* I never knew making one is just as simple as 1,2,3. I was still skeptical until I tasted it and thrilled that it was a GREAT success - it is so rich and chocolaty yet still light and fluffy. I would definitely make this again...

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.

Orange Cheese Cake: A treat for my guest

When my cousins and aunts came to visit over the weekend, they were served with a freshly baked cheese cake for dessert.

The cheese cake full of freshly squeezed orange juice and zest along with orange juice and zest sour cream topping gives a sweet and tangy taste. A taste that is so fragrantly fresh, perfect for this hot weather!

Ballerina Princess Cake

Another year has passed, today my niece turns 9. Just last year I helped my mom to decorate her birthday cake, a cream cheese cake miserably decorated with whipped cream and chocolate rice. Time flew without us realize and she is now another year older.

Two months back when she saw the birthday cake I did for my nephew, she asked me if I would know how to create a princess cake, Disney Princesses to be exact and she wanted all the 6 Princesses! But knowing my own limited capability, I did not promise her any princess cake, instead I told her I would surprise her during her birthday.

So I started doing my research and getting all the materials needed in preparation for her little surprise. Yesterday, I finally completed my by-far most satisfying ‘little project’ – a Ballerina Princess cake. The cake fits the princess-y theme too. The cake batter was added with multicolored chocolate rice, hence created a colorful cake which then frosted with butter cream and blueberry filling, just another surprise within.

I simply could not forget the happy little face when I delivered the cake over. Happy Sweet Birthday Ashley.
