King of Soccer

This weekend's order was for a friend's dad who loved both durians and soccer! So a perfect combination of yummy durian custard cake with a soccer theme! 

I forgot to take a picture of the moulded chocolate behind the goalie ... he's a Liverpool fan.. so it was a custom made shield complete w the torches at the sides!

Garden Silly

Really chirpy theme chosen for a doctor to thank his fellow colleagues in his hospital ward. I had quite a fun time creating the cute mushrooms, sweet butterflies and even the lovable ladybugs!

My favourite pieces were the little red mushrooms which reminded me of Super Mario Brothers! The magic mushroom that makes him grow :) I love this garden theme, think i shall try to expand to more little bugs next time ...

Under the sugary fondant lies yummilicious coffee pecan cupcakes with coffee cream, chocolate banana cupcakes and cinnamon apple cupcakes.

3 tantalising flavours - Choconana, Cinnamon Apple, Coffee Pecan

Strawberry Shortcake Galore

Little Samantha's 5th birthday today! And as per her mummy's request, she wanted it all pink, red and pink, pink, pink Strawberry Shortcake. I thought they had disappeared during my teenage years, but apparently these small, little, strawberry cuties are back with a vengeance!

It seems that Strawberry's fashion style has changed since I last saw her - pink dyed hair, short pink skirt and cool pink croc-looking shoes. Updated with the times! But one thing is for sure, she's every little girl's best friend! :) Enjoy!

Animals inspiro

I've been dabbling around with a couple of animal theme ideas as I got a little NatGeo-inspired. The lion was a tad tricky as the thick dark mane got too heavy for the molded head. Shall try to do the big five animals in the safaris.. can't wait to have a safari theme order! 


Made these few over the weekend...

Safari inspired

Had my granny's birthday party over the weekend. And with every year, we have the usual fruity creamy sponge cake which she loves the most. Decided to whip up some rich chocolate cupcakes this year. Topped it with some animal-inspired animals. Surprisingly, the older folks loved it!  :)

Rich chocolate cupcake ... best for the soul :)

Oh yes, Happy Birthday Alvin! I'm glad everyone enjoyed the cake :)

Like a spanking new rolling pin

For all passionate bakers out there, you would probably agree with me -
Very often, we would look, we would feel, we would then imagine the cakes, pastries and cookies that can be created with every new baking toy we buy. Even a simple rolling pin - crispy woody touch that just makes me excited thinking of how well my next cookie dough will be flattened out on the table top.
Oh well, call me a baker geek or simply a baker-wannabe if you like - because the thought of baking my next creation never fails to get me all excited.
So here I am, a ba(n)ker in need of somewhere to share my passion. Like a spanking new rolling pin - all ready to roll out any dough - I'm not sure where this blog will lead to, but I hope to share my creations, my thoughts, my geeky-ness about anything and everything about baking. Enjoy!
