A Fun Lesson at Cake Connection

I have been really busy for the past few weeks and hence no time to post. Anyway, I went for a class at Cake Connection, PJ, few weeks back to learn how to cover a cake with fondant. So far I have been reading and surfing the net to learn how to decorate cakes and cupcakes. I would say that the class was fun and I did learn quite a bit on how to cover a whole cake with fondant. The tips given by the instructor were also quite useful. Most important of all was that I went to this class with my good friends, EP & E. :) Here are some pictures of the finished product.

The design of the cake was determined by the instructor. :)

The Little Mermaid Ariel

A friend of my sister ordered this cake for her little girl's 6th birthday. She looked up some pictures of Ariel cakes on the internet and said that her little girl likes this the best. She sent me the link to the cake and when I saw it I was a little worried. I told her that I may need to source for the cake topper and if I can't, I will mould the Ariel for her. She was also a little worried as she said some of the moulded Ariel she saw on the internet didn't resemble Ariel that much. So the hunt began...and finally one of my dear friend, EP, told me that I can order the topper online. Yay! I checked out the site she gave me and ordered the topper immediately. After about 5 working days, the topper arrived. Next came the challenge of making and icing the one and a half cake. Well, I am glad that I got this order. It's challenging yet interesting to do.

This order was delivered today. It's a birthday order with R's favourite things. According to the client who orderd this from me, he was impressed with the cupcakes. I especially enjoyed doing the ones with the Iphone apps. Here are some pictures of them.

My First Wedding Order

I got a call sometime back to do cupcakes for a wedding as gift to be taken back by the guests after the dinner. As we spoke, the order grew from just cupcakes to a cake and also jars of biscuits for the western dinner. Yes, this couple had two dinners. One western style and the other chinese style. As the order was big in MY scale, I had to ask a good friend M to help me. We had to divide the tasks and here are the pictures of our hardwork. :) Thanks M for your great contribution.

Though we were really tired after the delivery, both M and I were really happy that we did this order. Thanks J & II for the opportunity. Am really glad that you both loved everything we did. :) It was great doing this order for both of you.

Paint Ball Attack!!

I received this order just three days before the delivery...so it was a last minute order. The theme? Paint ball. I never played paint ball before so I had no clue how the vest, mask and even the paint ball gun looks like. A good friend sent me some pictures and also suggested the design for the cupcakes...she was the one who placed the order. :) Thanks A. (She was helping the birthday boy's mother to order). She said the boys were fighting over the gun cupcake. Glad they like the cupcakes. Well worth all the rushing. Here are some pictures of the cupcakes.

Ready for pick up.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse - Birthday Tea Party?

I got a cupcake order for a Mickey Mouse theme for a 6 year old little girl. I decided to do a pink and white birthday tea party theme for her. Here are some pictures of the cupcakes.

All packed to be picked up.

The little girl and her friends loved the cupcakes and the best compliment came from the birthday girl. She told her mum that the cake tasted like her grandma's and according to her mum, her grandma is good at baking. :)

Polka Dot

We celebrated my little girl's birthday recently. Her favourite colour is pink...so I decided to make her a brown and pink Polka Dot cake. The result...Ta Da..


This is the first time I covered a cake with fondant and I used chocolate fondant. I must say, it tasted good. My little girl was thrilled with her cake and the guests for dinner that night were also impressed. :) Well worth the effort!!
