Mid-late week orders seem to be popular at the moment and I would say most people prepare for the weekend!

Bride-to-be cupcakes. They're having a pink-themed party so I think these are cute little additions. So happy with the piping - they almost look like flowers (carnations maybe?)

Bit of much needed stress relief from the long hours in the office...

And itching to get started on the HoHo wedding cake and cookies! Stay tuned!

I think I'm rather pleased with how it looks... ON THE OUTSIDE.

It was supposed to be a rainbow cupcake... but I think the storm clouds gathered and didn't disperse in time because the inside is pretty much a fail. Where to start... too many dark colours, the red decided to take over the cupcakes and exploded, the blue was too blue, the yellow turned brown and the purple dissipated. . . one word: dreary.

So yes, if I am going to make this again, I am changing the recipe!!! I am going to get this right! (I would insert a quote from Suits here but will refrain).

Anyway, I think the yellow with the pink and the orange (or variations of looks okay). Looks harder that it really is.

I was attempting ruffles in the beginning but that was another fail. Things just like to go wrong on weeknights for some reason... I blame this concept called a second job... 

I saw this idea somewhere once and thought it was g-e-n-i-u-s! If only I were game enough to actually make the patty patty flavoured! (I saw a steak-shaped cake once... with real steak in the middle...)

Pretty easy macaron here... bun coloured shell, top with sesame seeds. Ganache patty and marshmallow yellow cheese and green lettuce. And i justify the that the macarons are made deliberately not centred. - like how a burger from a take away place usually is!

Could have gone with a bit of beetroot, bit of strawberry coulis as tomato sauce? I could make my very own list of macaron burgers!!!

And it would be along the lines of:

- wyncheese

- wynoz

- wynvegie

- wynlamb

- wynwagyu =D

One of our first highly customised cakes! Look at the difference some fruit and some writing makes!

So so so glad that the 45+ degree heat did NOT decide to stick around on the weekend or else we would have had a few problems decorating and making all our little bits of tiles, dice, etc. Waited until mid morning saturday to make sure the temperatures were definitely back to normal before we started!

Pretty happy with everything and not as time consuming as first expected. However, drying time is essential for the fondant bits and also to ensure that the chocolate pieces were shaped the way you wanted them to be. Melting and shaping chocolate is a pretty difficult process...

The tiles make up a lucky hand... apparently one of the highest hands in mahjong and the dice with the red dot (one) represents luck. Perhaps we could make a whole set and play with it one day? ;)

I don't do small cakes very often. But this size is perfect for about 4-6 people. And this was the size of my birthday cake back in Japan all those years ago...and as a hoarder, I even kept the box... because it was so pretty!

Bailey's Cheesecake. Flavour's awesome and not alcoholic at all.

It was my sister's 18th birthday cake. 2-tier... disappeared in about 5 minutes... It was awesome.

Here's another birthday cake - sans the writing for now... white chocolate shards, fresh whole strawberries and topped with a ribbon. yum yum yum.

We're back and we're in business! After a short trip to London (all part of an educational on Gingerbread and Gingerbread people, houses, trees, etc), we're ready for another year here! :-)

And new month, new week, new order.

Taking advantage of summer and the season's fruits, was asked to make a Mango Mousse cake for 2 birthdays.

Three layers of sponge, 3 layers of mousse and topped with freshly sliced mangoes and chilled until set. Doesn't take as long as one might expect although mango slices are fiddly and slippery and temperamental!

Looking forward to orders to come in the following months!
