Black & White Wedding Cupcakes (Hataran)

Hello people! We've been lazy to take pictures and update our blog. So after much struggle, here is another picture of our work. Black & White themed wedding is quite popular lately. The cupcakes were chocolate and were meant for wedding dowry (hantaran). 9 large cupcakes fit nicely in a clear PVC box.

Carriage Roses / Butterfly Wedding (Hantaran) Cake

Girls usually dream on having a perfect wedding. A fairytale wedding is what most girls want. This cake I made was inspired from the famous fairytale associated with weddings; Cinderella. I was given a very short notice to make a wedding gives cake or kek hantaran in Bahasa Malaysia. The customer request for a cake with peach colored flowers to match the color scheme. Since no specific instructions were given, my mind went wild with creativity. I wanted to design something special and unique. I also wanted to differ from the common wedding/ hantaran cake design. After browsing the internet for inspirations, I finally came out with the initial sketch. However, I wasn't satisfies so I changed it again and again. 


It was decided that the cake would be covered with fondant icing. Eventually when the time ran out, I started decorating the cake. While putting the pieces together, I had another idea. Why not let the cake has 2 designs. 2 in 1, genius right. so instead of having 1 front, the cake had 2 fronts. Don't get it? Take a look at the pictures. You'll get the idea. The result, a unique and special wedding/ hantaran cake.
    

This was also my first timedoing scroll work with royal icing. I got it wrong first, the royal icing consistency was very thick that the icing bag leaked a few times with the pressure. But after thinned it for a bit, it was OK. Looking forward to do more practice on royal icing. 


I hope more people will order cake or cupcake with me. Challenge me with tricky designs. Specialty cake is my passion.

Honda HSV-010 GT Model (Gumpaste Car) - So We tried

Last week one customer emailed me to order a car themed cake for her boyfriend's birthday. It was a very last minute order. Usually I don't do last minute order, but hate to disappoint her since  she was ditched  by another baker. As the saying goes, one man trash is another man treasure..erk not sure if that applied here but you got the idea. So 22 emails later, we agreed on the design. Here is the full view of the final result.

I was trying to make a gumpaste car using pictures from JONSIBAL blog. It's a Honda. But lack of tools meant lack of details. So instead of looking very sporty and stylish, it looks cute. ;P Oh and don't forget the cake. It was 10" rich dark chocolate cake filled and covered with creamy chocolate ganache and sprinkles with chocolate rice. Cute cakes mean nothing if it taste awful. I was happy to receive a text from the customer and I quote "Thanks for d cake! It's delicious! Everyone loved it! Thanks! ;)"

Cute Bowling Themed Cupcakes


Banana flavored cupcakes with banana butter cream,
chocolate bowling ball and fondant bowling pin


We made and order of bowling themed cupcakes sometime last week. The result looked cute and taste good. We are actually proud of the fondant decorations, since we made the fondant ourselves from scratch. Well, we actually had made fondant previously but since we didn't manage to find all the exact ingredients, the fondant turned out to taste not so good and crumbly thus difficult to work with. But last week , for the first time, we manage to sourced all the ingredients that make good rolled fondant. Yes that's right, our cupcakes use quality ingredients and 100% homemade. No cheating.
