Swedish & Rainbow weekend.

Had a pretty bz weekend... coz I had been wanted to try my hands on some Swedish meatballs.. and here's the result.. with some soft and buttery baked potatoes.. I was pretty happy with the results coz even my fussy boy walloped everything!

On top of that.. baked something 'colorful' to end the weekend..
Not too bad.. it has strawberry taste in 1 layer.. chocolate in another... pandan and vanilla.. An explosion of taste in 1 mouthful!!
Kids loves this Chiffon cake coz it's colorful!!


That's not it!! I managed to buy some cheap and nice fresh blueberries (that doesn't come by very often... and baked blueberry muffins with butter and almond toppings... And it taste lovely with the buttery taste.. a tang of sourness fresh blueberries with a hint of sweetness...
UNFORTUNATELY... I forgot to take pictures of it... Oh well... next time then.

What a busy weekend huh...

Shanghai Mooncake

Since Mooncake festival is around the corner.. thought I try my hands on some of these...
Am not really a mooncake fan... but since this is slightly different from the normal baked or ping pei mooncakes...why not...
This Shanghai Mooncake has a different kind of skin... it's like pastry skin.. which sorta balance out the sweetness of the lotus paste...
So here it is... Shanghai mooncake with pure lotus paste and it's bite size too! :D not the huge ones where you would feel 'jai' just by looking at it.. Nice eh!

Final Fantasy

Did this FF cake last week... Honestly the last time I 'played' FF was like maybe 7 - 8 years ago... and it was FF I or II or maybe just III... and now... they have XIII... take about a huge gap huh...
So had to do a bit of research on FF and they have so many new characters.. and so much more complicated... *Confused*...

Anyway... luckily.. I managed to whipped out something.. even though I was contemplating to have a black base or a blue base...
And finally the blue base won... with Moist Chocolate Cake inside requested from a customer that had my Chocolate cake before...

Smallie's Day

My son is so into Transformers now.. that he breathes.. eats and sleeps Transformers at the moment...
He has been requesting me to bake him a Transformers cake for a while now.. so finally on his big day... 08.08 - I baked him one...

Well.. I cheated.. coz I didn't exactly do a 3D Bumblebee robot (He calls himself Bumblebee!!) for him.. I did a simple Autobots logo on a simple Chocolate Moist Cake for him...

Sigh.. What to do.. His mummy is simply plain lazy... I promise to do better next year BumbleBee :)

You will be your Mom's favorite!

Get this cake for your Mom this Mother's Day and she will love you to bits!
It's not a huge cake... but somewhat makes a very nice Mother Day gift..


You can read a book and eat it too!!

Did a book cake as homework for the class that I attended.. we must constantly improve ourselves right ??

The design can be better... but that's what the instructor told us to do... can't argue with the teacher right ??.. Ah well... No worries... can ALWAYS change the design to whatever we want now that we have the main book structure...

It's a WORD world out there!

This customer ordered a Pingu Cake for his son's birthday last year... and this year.. he ordered another cake from me... And this time he requested for WORD WORLD theme... as his son loves the Word World characters... I paused for a bit... my brain busy analysing the 'detailness' of the characters.... and then went .... Errr... ok....

It wasn't easy as the characters required more detailed work... Anyhow... here it is.... Its a chocolate peanut butter cake.. smells heavenly when I took out from the oven...

And the verdict was... The kids love it!! Yay!!!
