This one's for the babe

Here's a baby shower cake for little Kenisha. I was quite surprised with the outcome of this cake, as I was really cracking my head on how to get the design right.

The figurine was store bought.

Moist chocolate cake

This plain moist chocolate cake was requested by a friend for the Precious Children's Home in Petaling Jaya.

Just one more...

... I think. My friend Manjeet was going to present this cake as a gift to her guests over the weekend.

Just before that, it was her birthday. Since she is observing a special diet, I baked her some gingerbread cupcakes. Just plain ones.

The monday after Diwali ...

I have still not recovered from Diwali baking. I think I overbaked myself. Wish I was still at home sleeping.

Here are cakes that I made for orders as well as the ones I gave as 'gifts' when I went visiting.




I also made three chilled lemon cheesecakes and cupcakes ... no frills.

Sugee oh sugee

Made these sugee cakes for a customer who wanted to serve them for Diwali. She ordered two cakes, 2kg each and wanted them cut into four and wrapped individually in foil.

I want cake!

My daughter's friend wanted a plain chocolate butter cake.

No frills ... no icing, no deco. My daughter called him after we delivered the cake and her friend said that he had finished eating half the cake and ten minutes later he called to say that his brother had finished the other half.

These boys are speedy gonzales! Thank you, boys.

We are the Champions!

Last weekend was a busy one for me. My son took part in a two-day taekwondo tournament. He participated in two events; team and individual. He won gold for both events. Way to go, darling!

His coach asked me to bake a cake to celebrate the club's win on the second day. BTW, Jagoh is the name of the club. How apt a name for a club of champs!

The cake was gone in less than five minutes. Here you see the kids going for seconds:

Overall, Jagoh won second prize. They won a trophy and a cheque worth RM5,ooo. Congratulations. You are on the right track, Jagoh!

It's never too late

This cake was ordered last weekend. The client said, "I know it's over, but it is better late than never, right." Well, she was right about that. You don't need Valentine's Day to express your love to your loved ones!


Flower Power: One of my friend's ex-colleague ordered this cake for herself. She has been introducing her friends and family to me for cake orders and now she has ordered one for herself. Thanks, Melissa.

Finally, a cake for an 8-year-old Totally Spies fan.
Opps, not over yet. I made three mini cakes for my kids. How can I forget them. :)
The one with the green border was decorated by my daughter.

Baked my own birthday cake

Baked and decorated another Deepavali cake. This was for Sakthi's kids' tuition teacher. I iced the top of the cake and left it half way to send my second daughter for piano lessons. When I came back, my eldest daughter 'helped' me smoothen it further. I was really furious as this was a client's order and she knew that. I had to redo the icing and that's when I decided that I should send her for basic cake making and deco class.

I promised to give her lessons when I did not have any orders. But looks like every other weekend I am busy with orders. I can't expect my 12-year-old to understand that and patiently wait for me to teach her. So that's when I decided to sign her up for the Icing on the Cake class at Cake Connection this Friday. :) I am really excited for her.

Remember the fruit cake that I was supposed to bake last week? I finally baked my rich sugee fruit cake for the house and it was yummy!!! I just cut a small piece to sample. The rest of the cake, I cut into four portions and wrapped them in aluminium foil and put them away in storage containers. I just want to glaze them with brandy once a week for about a month. It's going to be really good. Well, good things come to people who wait, so the saying goes...

If anyone wants the rich sugee fruit cake for Christmas, I am open for bookings now. :)

Over the weekend, I had to bake a cake for my birthday. Yes, I baked a cake for my birthday! But, I would like to say that I baked the cake for Sakthi as she shares the same birthday as me. I just 'tumpang' my name on the cake. It was the rich moist chocolate cake.

This one's for the teacher

This is a cake for my kids' tuition teacher. Iced it last nite. We will give it to her when she comes for class today.

What a weekend

Feeling really exhausted from the weekend! I made two cakes and 50 cupcakes. One birthday cake, another for a baby's baptism.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy baking and decorating the cakes but the exhaution comes from other factors. I had to deliver the cakes on Sunday, so I started baking on friday and set aside saturday for baking the cupcakes and decorating. Of course my three little bakers wanted to 'help' me.

When I am in the kitchen, I like to work alone. I don't mind help as long as they don't get in my way. It starts of by one of them coming in and sitting by the kitchen table, helping me. Everything is going well until the other two come in and demand that they want to chip in as well. Fine but they all one to do the same thing as the first and of course arguments start.Mom, he did that, she did that and on it goes. Arrgh. Here I am trying to follow my timing and I have to deal with their fighting. What do I do, I chase them out of the kitchen. Peace for ten minutes or so and the cycle starts again. This went on until evening. In between, I had to stop to send them for piano and drum classes, go to the shop, break for dinner and finally, I was alone at about 10.30pm. By the time I finished, it was 3.30am after cleaning the kitchen and putting away all the utensils.

Before I knew it, it was already 7.30am. I wanted to take photos of the cakes and send the birthday cake to my mom's for pickup.

The birthday cake was for a doctor and her brother wanted me to make a 'medical' theme cake. What I did was mould a stethoscope using sugar paste. I have made sugar paste flowers in the past but this was my first attempt at making a sugar paste model of something other than flowers.

I think it turned out ok as hubby and kids knew what it was when they saw it. :)

I cannot upload the photo for this cake as none of the shots for this cake was captured by the memory stick of my camera. Sigh!!! But I have asked my friend to email me the photos that was taken during the birthday do. Now I just have to wait.

Since I did not have enough sleep, my sinus started acting up. Not good cos I was invited to attend the baby's baptism lunch. Packed the car with the kids, cakes, cuppies as well as the stand and off we went to Klang.

I thought the stand looked really nice with the cuppies. Everyone enjoyed the cakes. Had to leave right after the cake cutting cos by then I was having a bad flu. This one will only go away if I sleep it off.
