One Special Boy

I got an order from a lady who wanted a specific theme for her son's first birthday. She gave me some images of the theme and here is the result. A "one Special Boy" themed birthday cake.

She was really happy with the results and I really had fun doing this cake. :)

A friend of mine ordered this cake for her little boy's birthday. His favourite cartoon character? Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Here are the pictures of the cake.

The moulding of Mickey and Donald was quite a challenge but it's worth the challenge when my friend told me that her little boy loves them so much that he wants to keep them. :) Thanks FS for the order.

Princess Cupcakes

These Princess cupcakes were made for two little girls whose birthdays were about a week apart. One was a pink theme one and the other a blue theme.

Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

A good friend of my sister, HL, ordered this cake and cupcakes for her niece's second birthday. The little girl likes Barney a lot. I told HL that I will do a garden theme for her niece. Presenting...Barney and Friends...

Happy Birthday June!!!

A few of my girlfriends and I celebrated two of our wonderful friends' birthday recently. My good friend EP made some yummy peanut butter cupcakes for them. She made the topper for BB which is a baking theme (very nice!! Sorry no pics here) and I made the topper for June which is a bear theme. Here are the pics of the toppers...

We all had a great nite out...eating and catching up. :)

Power Puff

This is a cake I made for a little girl who likes Power Puff - Blossom and flowers. The design of the cake was inspired by Lindy Smith. I learnt a lot of lessons through this cake. Firstly, always place the topper of the cake (the Power Puff figurine) on a base. Secondly, no matter how small the top tier of the cake is, I must put support underneath it. Lastly, never underestimate the complexity of covering a small cake. Enough of lessons learnt. Here is the final product...

Ironman

I made this cake for a cell member's son who turned 5. At first she asked me to just do an Ironman topper for her because her little boy likes Ironman. When looked at the toy, I told her I won't be able to do that topper for her. I asked her to instead loan me one of her son's Ironman and I will do the rest for her. Here is the result...

Shawn loved the cake. :)

Note: There are some children cartoon characters that I won't try doing...it's because they are too complicated and will not look the same or close to the original...one of them is Transformers. My son has been asking me for a Transformer cake. Think next year I will do one for him using his toys as toppers. :)

Elmo, Cookie Monster and Transformers.

I made these cupcakes for my son's school concert. He requested for transformers as usual (his favourite now) but I decided to do Elmo and Cookie Monsters as well. The cupcakes were a hit with the children as well as the parents. Here are some pics of them...

My friend told me there were a lot of oohhs and aahhs when she took out the cake. Am glad that they all like the cake. :)

Another Fullmoon Order - It's A Girl!!

This post together with a few others are long overdue...I will try to update my blog more often with my latest orders in future. :)

This is my second fullmoon order. This is however for a baby girl. I really had fun doing this order. The happy mummy wanted one set of mini ones for her colleagues and one set of the standard ones for Baby's fullmoon party. I actually don't do mini cuppies anymore but since KN had ordered from me before, I did it for her. She has been very supportive of me since I started baking from home. :) Here are the pics for the cupcakes...

Sebastian is 2!!

My sister's friend ordered this cake from me for her 2 year old son's birthday. He likes bears...so I decided to make a cake with him and a bear. I covered the cake with fondant this time to give it a neat finish.

Cake Topper

I made this cake topper for a good friend's little boy's 2nd birthday. He loves motorbikes so here is the topper with him next to a motorbike...

Full view of the topper.

Some of you might wonder why make a topper without a cake? Well, my friend bakes very, very well...that's why. She can also decorate cakes very well...but she gave me the challenge and privilege to do this. :) Thanks EP!!!

Lesson with a PRO

Have not been updating my blog for awhile. Since my last blog till now, I went for another class at Cake Connection. I have been wanting to attend this class by Mama Min and so when my dear friend M told me that she has signed up for it and it would be fun to attend together, I did. After 6 hours, here is my wedding couple...

It was really a good class to attend. I learnt so much in that class and Mama Min is really a good teacher. :)

Football!

I made these cupcakes for one of my cell group member's son's birthday as a gift. The first time I saw this boy, he was only 3 years old. These cupcakes are for his 11th birthday. How time flies! He had a football party hence the request for a football themed cupcakes.

Feedback, his friends and him enjoyed the cupcakes. Happy Birthday J!

My First Fullmoon Order

A friend of mine ordered cupcakes from me to be given away for her son's fullmoon. This is by far my biggest order - more than 300 cupcakes to be packed in different packages. The good thing about this order is that it is done in stages. Besides, my dear friend M helped me out with the order. For those who are not familiar with the chinese culture, fullmoon is the celebration of the first month of newborn babies. :) Here are pictures of the baby theme cupcakes.

My friend was pleased with the results and said that most of her friends said that the cupcakes are very cute. My favourite of the lot is the booties. Thanks B for this order. Also thanks M for helping me. :)
