gong xi fa cai

Gong Xi Fa Cai cupcakes. This was ordered by a friend as a gift to her colleague. 

Fondant mandarin oranges and the spring blossom flowers.

up till 3am...

I was up till 3am this morning to prepare these cupcakes. These were sold at an official event today where we were promoting the cake baking program. I wanted to get people to try out different flavors of cupcakes, so, I made 4 different flavors this time. Which is why I was still icing the cakes at 3am..   :)

Although I was tired from the 'late night shift', but I had fun today and happy that it was sold out.

This were for display, but in the end we sold it anyway. ;)

sugar cookies & green tea cupcake

I wanted to make these sugar cookies for quite some time. But every time I plan to bake them, some things always came up and I keep on delaying it. Anyways, I finally made them today. I decorated a few pieces, and I think this is even more tedious than decorating cupcakes!!! I don't know how some people can really do this for hundreds of cookies.

I also managed to bake green tea cupcakes today. Couldn't resist to try it out since I saw the green tea powder at the baking supply store. This will be added in my flavor list.

vanilla & chocolate cupcakes

I received a call last week from one of my regular customers. She asked for 2 boxes of cupcakes, 1 for her M-I-L, and 1 as a gift for a 'merisik' event. I've been out of practice lately since I've been concentrating on baking cakes for a couple of months now. Anyways, thanks Ezri for the order and the chance for me to brush up/practice on my "cupcake decorating" skill.

This one an additional order, for her family.

For her M-I-L

For 'merisik' event

thank you cupcakes & cake pops

I made these cupcakes for my ex-colleagues in my previous work place as a thank you note to them. Sorry for the bad photos as these were taken using the camera hand phone (had some issues with the "point and shoot" camera). These are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache filling, covered with peanut buttercream icing and marzipan.

all 26 cupcakes packed in individual clear box.

While these are Chocolate cupcake pop (the 1st trial) which turn out quite okay, but I still thinks that it need improvement. I've been looking at Bakerella's website on these cute cakes and wanted to make some myself.

And these are my 2nd attempt which didn't turn out so well, the taste was all wrong....and I kinda hate the taste of the white chocolate on these cake pops.

pink roses....

I've tried out a different recipe this time....sponge cake. The cake turned out good... (can't wait to use this recipe again for my next bake). Anyways, I tried out the pink roses that I made previously on this cake....just for my practice.
