Mad for Macarons!

once again after quite some time now, i had the chance to bake
myself my very own batch of French Macarons! its always the best
feeling you can get when you see your macarons build up that
curved dome with the frilly base! thats when you know youve got
the perfect macarons. a crunchy outer shell with a chewy center!

Red Rose Blossom

when it comes to Weddings and Engagements, couples can go
for various Customized Cake Designs ranging from a wide
variety of color palettes as well as design concepts. these days,
many are either going for unique, out of this world cake
designs or keeping into the Classic Elegant cake designs.

this is a recent addition of mine into the Weddings & Engagement cake
portfolio. they went for the Classic Elegant cake design choosing colors
which really accentuate and compliment each other well. i personally
believe Wedding and Engagement cakes looks gorgeous with flowers.
this cake was designed for the lady.

these two cakes were designed in mind for the guys. its simple
yet classy. a nice clean palette with a single rose reflects
masculinity.

add in a few more rose buds with black stripes and this cake stands out
with a dash of personality!

heres a shot of them together. a perfect match made in heaven!

i really really like it! all thanks for Ain for havin this Winnie the Pooh

Double Chocolate, Hazelnut Chocolate Filling Cake! im sure the kids
gonna be runnin around in a sugah overdose frenzy! hee...

Starbucks Coffee - Logo

have yall had ure daily dose of coffee yet? sippin on that nice cuppa
Caramel Macchiato! ooh... thats mah favorite drink at Starbucks!
and this is mah tribute to all yall coffee lovers out there. A Starbucks
Logo inspired Customized Designer Cake!

i had the most enjoyable time creatin this unique cake as a request
for a double Birthday celebration! its a Double Chocolate, triple layer
Hazelnut Chocolate Filling Cake for Faiz & Amir! i had the logo set
onto a round base covered in Fondant. i did the take-away cup sleeve
around the cake and scattered these cute coffee beans which were
hand made out of Chocolate Fondant. im guessin they are avid fans
and regulars of Starbucks Coffee :D

im real glad of the outcome of this unique cake!
and instead of the norm, piped out Birthday Wishes, i made them a
huge Chocolate Chip Cookie and iced it. truly a one of a kind cookie.
really eager to create more variations of Starbucks inspired Cakes :P

Science Laboratory - Biohazard

i love it when it comes to bakin Cakes for Theme Parties!
havin a theme for any event really does makes it more colorful and
enjoyable. gettin ure frens to dress up in costumes and the wonderful
decorations and such :) this one was for a Birthday Celebration! i was
told that he inspires to be a Scientist one day and thus i created this
Science Laboratory inspired cake!

there are so many experiments and tests goin on in a laboratory!
i came up with the Biohazard Logo as the focal point of the cake.
and of course, science labs are filled with test tubes filled with
various chemicals and solutions in all sorts of colors! i really like
the spilled effect of these solutions flowin down the side of the cake!

apart from that, i had a Molecule set adjacent to the 2 test tubes
and cut outs of the words Biohazard and Caution on the sides
of the cake. kinda makes this cake looks a lil poisonous huh :E
to complete it off, i piped on 'Happy Birthday Aidil' on the sides of
the test tubes. gotta say though, Customized Cake makin is not all
about baking. you gotta be creative and posses great composition
skills. its about Visual Arts too!

Greek Goddess II

Engagement and Wedding celebrations here in Singapore are common
during the weekends. and in the Malay community especially, they
kinda love choosin to have em on special dates like today - 20.02.2011
this request was for the Engagement of Mawar & Mohamed Ridzwan!

if yall remembered, i did a Greek Goddess inspired cake design in
december last year before :) however that one was a 2 tier cake
design for a Birthday celebration. i really love the draping on this cake.

in keepin true to the theme, i recreated the design with swags of
Fondant to symbolize the Greek attire... of course the look wouldnt
be complete without Grecian columns! i guess this compliments the
focal piece of the cake - A golden olive, headgear wreath.
