No prize for guessing right!

I baked all these on the same day. Actually there were 2 more but I feel they're kinda ordinary looking to feature. Anyways, can you guess what these all have in common?
Look at bottom of post for answer.

Semolina (sugee) cake

Butterscotch cupcakes with caramel frosting

Double Orange cake

A mix of vanilla butter, chocolate and butterscotch cupcakes.

Chocolate cupcakes













Orange cupcakes














I basically used only 3 colours... white, green and pink. Except for that little bit of yellow I had leftover.

Is this all?

I swear I cannot get used to the layout of this blog. I apologize if the pictures are haphazard and un-creatively laid out. I have to work from bottom up and it's not unlike driving in reverse!

It felt like I was baking my buns off (pun intended) all week but when I look at the pictures, I say, "Is that all?"

Butter cake. Still very much a favourite and my best seller.

A short story

One day, Mei ordered this Chocolate fruit cake for Jimmy's belated birthday. Girl, next time tell me it's for someone's birthday so I can add a message and provide candles!

Jimmy in turn ordered these Chocolate cupcakes for Jennifer, a Mommy-to-be, who had just arrived from the US.


Jennifer dropped me a lovely note today ...

Hi Ivy,

I am the mommy-to-be who got the pretty cupcakes for my birthday!! They were delicious!!!!
My husband & I are thinking about ordering cupcakes from you after our baby is born, for the one month's celebration..
We will contact you when the time is right.

You are a genius!!

Jennifer C

THE END

Aaah, stories like that always makes my week!

Working with edible images

I had the opportunity to work with edible images recently. While they give a flawless finish, they are tricky little fellas to work with. Here's my advise: don't attempt working on them on very hot or humid days unless you are lucky enough to have an air conditioned environment and always print a few extras to cater for tearing or damage.

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!
