Time for an update

It's been like what, 2 weeks since my last post? I've baked and baked and baked some more.



Since the trusty Fuji digital camera decided to take a long overdue break, I had to borrow another to record my works.


There are loads more not featured here but for now I'll shut up and let you enjoy the pics...



I wished I knew how to play around with the page layout. For a while now I have had to work the page from bottom up. Have to think in reverse.


OK, I did say I'll shut up....

Notice something not right with Elmo? No prize for guessing!

A week of mishaps

They say it happens in threes. I beg to differ... at last count it was 7. I'm not going into details lest I jinx myself further! Sabar, Ivy, sabar....

What you see below is less than half what I produced this week. The football jersey was the last picture I took before my camera went on the blink (that was mishap #3). Use my cell phone, did I hear someone say? Turn the phone to camera mode and it tells me "Busy, Try Again". Can someone explain that to me?!

So this will temporarily be my last post until I manage to beg, borrow or steal a digital camera.

Raunchy butterscotch cupcakes. Look closely and you might see some cellulite. Haha... I'm glad nothing or no one is perfect!

Chocolate cupcakes for a Liverpool FC fan.

Some chocolate Elmo and Cookie Monster cupcakes.

A week of many quotations and designs going to and fro... and only a few were realized *sigh* Nonetheless, it was a hectic week; the main concern was looking for a new and hardy cake mixer. Boy, are those things EXPENSIVE! I am now a proud owner of a Kenwood Patissier.

Yvonne said her daughter likes coconut, so a Coconut Orange cake it was. She also likes my Butterscotch cupcakes. I hope Mik likes the same!

This 'funny faces' design seems to be a favourite with the grown ups. I do enjoy making them. These were all Chocolate cupcakes.

Hazel is about the only one (thank God!) that will call in a panic and want cupcakes within the hour! Fortunately these Vanilla Butter (Hazel's most fave) cupcakes were eventually wanted for the next day. I still love that woman to death!


Sue wanted some Vanilla Butter cupcakes packed 8 pieces to a box.

A simple design with vanilla butter and chocolate cupcakes.

All vanilla butter cupcakes for 10 year old Jin Liang.


The #3 cake is chocolate frosted with chocolated ganache and topped with choc beans. It looks large but it's no bigger than 1Kg. Surrounded by vanilla butter and more chocolate cupcakes.

A new addition to my menu

Orange Coconut cake. A fan of coconut, George decided to give this cake a try. He requested for retro design.
Chocolate Almond cupcakes. Another friend's (and ex-boss) birthday. Sorry I couldn't come for the dinner. I'm sure my presence was felt through these cupcakes!

Chocolate Orange cupcakes. Tried a new recipe ... nice... think I'll add this to my menu. Thanks George, you're my partner in crime where citrus fruits are concerned!

A month of birthdays

July... an expensive month for me, filled with birthdays in the family and among friends! It starts with this one below, my nephew turns 6. He requested for strawberry cupcakes and I obliged. A small tweak in the recipe and yummilicious!


Butterscotch cupcakes topped with caramel icing, decorated with buttercream.

A first

Another usual typically busy week in the office!

My first princess cake. Not as difficult as I thought it would be but painstakingly time consuming making the tiara with royal icing. Needed 3 layers to ensure its sturdiness, fearing it might still break but hey, nothing did! Everything is edible I'm proud to say!

Fun week

It was a fun week, albeit a frustrating one with all my car problems.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
