Jareth cake

I was so happy when my friend asked me to make her son's 2nd birthday cake.
I've made J first birthday cake. This time J's mum asked me to make something with a musical theme. For weeks I was thinking of something that suit a 2 year old. I've made guitar for an adults b'day so I thought it will be nice to have a little boy playing a drum.
The cake is a double choc mudcake with choc layers cover in fondant.
I really hope J like his cake. Happy birthday Jareth.

Macaron...mocarons..and more macarons

I love macarons. The first every macarons I have tasted was in Paris. The nice sweetness of the filling and the almond just made my taste buds jump up and down for more.

The adventure of macarons started last year after my trip to Paris. I start searching for the BEST every macaron recipe. I have found the recipe was nothing more then sugar and almond meal, so what is all the fuss ? I'm sure I can just whipped this and the rest was history.
Boy ..was I wrong !!! after more the 20 plus attempted and made my whole family fat !! ( from eating all the ugly and uneven macarons.) I wasn't going to surrender to the macarons.

After a long months of searching and reading many many books and blogs from fellow macarons lovers. I finely got it !! EUREKA !!! thanks to Pierre Herme and Jose Marechal I have masted his macarons.
I was going to give up, pack my bag and move to Paris ( heheh this is what I've told the hubby )
I'm sure he was so glad I didn't do it, even though Paris is still in my mind.

The adventure of the search of the macaron is over , but the beginning of our beautiful friendship has just began.
So here are some pic of my beautiful tasteful macs.

Princess Cupcakes

Vanilla and Chocolate eggless cupcakes decorated with princess topping.

The WIggles Cake

This cake is an eggless cake. Had so much fun making all the figurine. My hubby thinks I went over board with all the Wiggles character. Just can't get enough of the Wiggles :) Is not the same now with out Grey the yellow Wiggles. I remember going to the Wiggles concert with my kids and really enjoy the performance and songs.

A bowl of Ramen.

As usual when it comes to my own birthday, I love to make my own cake.
Been thinking about it the whole year. I should I make this year. For the very first time my birthday cake is not made from chocolate.

I love ramen so much and like to have a bowl of ramen now and then. This cake is a carrot cake cover in vanilla icing.

Enjoy.

Dora Explorer cake

An order for a twin 5th birthday. This cake is a choc mud cake cover in choc ganach. All the figurine is hand made. Happy with the monkey, but not too happy with Dora's face :) I think I made her too dark. Overall happy with the colour and the out come.

Simple Bridal shower cake

Had fun making all the blue flowers.
I was going to make a chocolate mud cake for this cake, but realise that I don't have any butter milk in the fridge, so for this cake is a white choc mud cake, made specially for my friend who is getting married.
