Cakelet cakelet

I love to create a cake that tell a story. Made this wonderful cakelet.
Cakelet are like cupcakes, but abit bigger. The idea is to have an individual cake per person.
This cakelet is made for a friend who just moved to a new place and also celebrating her birthday.
All these cakelet is made from white chocolate mud cake. They are individually designs.
Had so much fun making the flowers for the pot plan and also the dress.

My new loved cake pan

I love craft stores so much. One of the things I want to do when I go to USA is to visit Michaels Crafts store. Last month I was blessed enough to go to NYC with my family. On my list on what to do is to visit Michael's crafts store.
Just like a little kid in the candy store, I was so excited when my brother in law drove us to the shop. WOW..I can stay in that store for the whole day, sadly I didn't as I was only allow to stay in there for awhile. :( - This is what happen when you travel with kids -
Anyway, I bought my self this cool brownie pan.
This pan is so great to make a square cupcake. Made some yummy Hershey chocolate cake with this pan. Sorry..I didn't get to take a photo of the cake as it went straight to kids.

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.
