Buttercream Birthday Cake

Priya asked me this morning if I could do a small cupcake for her friend, so I asked her "one" cupcake? So I suggested that we give a chocolate sponge cake layer with chocolate.
She said ok with the Pink roses.... thought it looks sweet pink.

Fondant Cake

Had a butter cake from my Sat's royal icing class in Johor, unfortunately cant do them cos had to rush back to BITC for the certificate ceremony plus a charity drive by BITC for Mendaki.
Anyhow, thought I do some 'thank you' cake for my friends from the Sales....

Its covered with Fondant, plus a ribbon deco and a card as well, plus cake fondant with some effects by the textured rolling pin.

Birthday Cupcakes

A customer friend asked if I could do cupcake for his little nephew, so I thought perhaps a theme cupcake would be nice. So I asked her if she likes Kungfu Panda for edible image cupcake and right away she agreed.

Had to spend early Sat morning to finish up the cupcake deco... I used mostly buttercream with stiff consistentcy.

Packed and ready to go

Fancy Decorated Cookies

Yasmine & Irfan have always enjoyed art, I thought what a better way to spend the school holidays by decorating cookies as part of our family quality and quantity time together.

Yasmine & Irfan art work....

I bet Yasmine will be good baker someday.....

See how engrossed she is decorating her cookies....

Hmmm... even Irfan forgot about his long hours computer when come to cookie decorating. He is a good help indeed.

Guess what? Ayah was quite good as well, with royal icing. He has good control of piping the icing, good job everyone!!!

Jelly Oh Jelly

I'm not a fan of jelly but made jelly a couple of times and never thought that if you are creative it can be good as cake. A couple of weeks ago a lady called me and asked if I organised class for Jelly decorations... which she said is "hit" now. So I began to asked around and got so fasinated by the creativity of OQjelly shop and bought the different types of mould. Who could imagine novelty moulds from Wilton are being used for Jelly. Ever thought of that? So I asked my mum if she knows about Jelly and to my surprised she said the unique jelly has been around for a long time and its there in her 50 yrs old secret recipe book. So now the trend it coming back I guess. So this is my creation......
