Mini Wedding Cake

It was upon a request of my beloved auntie who wants to present it to the lovely couple that we gonna attend their wedding KL. Haven't know the bride to be but know the groom personally, just out of idea when the favour is out of no time at all, so I just call up the grooms sister to ask for any idea on what cake they like most after all if it doesn't turn out well at least the cake won't be thrown away but scrape off the rest and gulp it down instead...hehe


So they agree on Chocolate moist and I said it was a really good choice because it's eggless and it last for days even weeks...so it's all done within 24hrs without reference at all out of a blank mind all I know is the theme colour is purple so I wasn't so please with the outcome because of the cracks that appear to the buds of the flowers so I just hope the bride and groom loves it.
Feedback wasn't so bad they love it and it tasted good as well, glad it's over and pleases everyone...thank you for the honour to present them with a smallest gift from my heart. With all the very best in the future undertakings, Love you all.

Christmas 2009

This two cakes was made specially for my close family and relatives back at my in-laws place.
It was a plain Sugee cake, sugar lessen to accommodate to the white milk chocolate for the dressing and the peppermint flower paste for the wreath. This Christmas Yule Log is White Chocolate, Brandy roll topped with Dark Chocolate Ganache...of course the presents and other deco is handmade with homemade peppermint paste.
Was quite a rush celebration and occasion which we make in a very small scale that is why I opt off the smaller cakes for the children...mostly meant for the adults this time around.
Will appreciate if whoever tasted this cakes leave some comment to improve further...thanks and Have a great 2010 New Year ahead. Sorry for the late post.

Christmas Yule Log

Big apology to my dear blogger relatives and friends, have a very tight month and I know this wasn't the Yule Log that I expect it to look, it should be way better but luckily I did manage to make the cake satisfying to the last bite... at least from the young ones and old ones.
It's a brandy white chocolate Swiss roll...to me it's smooth texture of the creamy fragrant taste and feeling is really satisfying. Finished topped with chocolate ganache which wasn't sweet but just creamy enough to blend in with everything.


It's for you to taste and find out yourself, it might not be your taste but since this is purely homemade, fresh and satisfying till the last bite. Wasn't a very good shot because it's taken very late and my lighting was totally out. At least there is a virtual cake to view. Do leave some comments on ideas or critics in order for me to improve better....

Sugee Cake


There is a delectable range of Sugee Cake available in the market or should say it depends on some family tradition to pass down this recipe especially it runs down in certain Eurasian family will know what it taste like. To me, like my husband once said, "I don't know what is it so nice about this classic cake which have such high price people would pay to have a taste of this'' or mostly a favourite among classic English wedding.


To me, I'm not a fan of sweet stuff or dessert in particular but those who really know this cake might want to leave me some comment. All I know is the amount of ground almond which not many people like if to choose from the range of nuts but who know this nut well will like this, not too sweet, just moist enough but the grainy texture which you have to taste it slowly, might make this cake special...

Dark n' White Chococlate Pudding Cake


This was something I did for our weekend snack, especially for my two chocolate angels at home. It's a rich portion but they share it among themselves and ask for a second serving but got to stop them because they had it within 15 minutes after dinner...
For myself it was nice when it's still warm because with the extra glaze of creamy brown sugar, surprisingly not sweet at all...blend in just fine.
The white chopped bits was actually gone even when we just poke through with the fork. I did save two in the fridge to try the chill one but chill and upon savouring, pour the warm glaze to try, the white chocolate appear, maybe after cool off the temperature, certain aliment freeze up and form to original.
All in all taste rather satisfying even after having a heavy meal.

2009 Christmas Collection for cuppies and minicakes





It started with a proposal of an Orange Yogurt Cake, and this is the result after much try when the sample agreed to sent at the end of last month. This is the naked cake which haven't been dressed.


This was the collection I sent off for the sample that they want the flavour, flat top to avoid messed up and because it's for a gift away pack for an evening garden Christmas party and they requested fully sugar paste don't want any cream at all.


This was in fact my first try before the request so as you can see some cream been use, some 2D's and 3D's of course the 3D's are definitely more time consuming and fully hand molded.


This was basically out of idea on what more to go but trying not to use too much of sugar and towards out weather the twisted cane failed a few try because it cracks and gone down the dustbin.


I guess this is the sleepy pair of rain deer due to the cool weather...looks not too bad after I tried it...maybe not many will like but this was inspired by one of my Flikr friends on line it looks cute.


This Santa was eaten by my daughter...she saw it, but the cream does blend in much better then the full sugar paste one, comes to taste it taste better with the combination.


This was my first snowman, my imaginative snowman which at least stands at this humid weather here. Kids will like but not adults...haha I was thinking this snowman can be put onto my Christmas Yule log in my next posting, hopefully manage to post before Christmas.

This is the packing which is requested by my customer which is a gift away for their company's Christmas Garden Party, the ribbon was their corporate colour and the Christmas tag came with a Christmas tree shape which contains my contacts behind goes rather well with the whole package. Thanks to my Auntie for giving me chances to go and propose my cake.

Orange Yogurt Cake

This is one of a party order for December but I was experimenting and had it for myself to go on with anything comes to my mind, it was nutritious and the moisture of the whole outcome of the cake itself, I turn it into cupcakes...I'm late for any posting again maybe too tied up with my own health down sick and never touches my baking section for almost two weeks.

So basically I guess this is from some of my experiment on my own my die cutting skill of henna on sugar paste and sugar silver balls. Hope it doesn't look so bad. Never went to ask for orders or should I say I wouldn't dare to accept it with my bad cough and flu....sorry my fellow friends and relatives. Maybe for next year of festival of Light will try on more to make it a set of six at least.



My photo shot the other night doesn't came out quite good on the lighting was bad...just two of it to temp the flavour, which brings in the oriental of good fortune on oranges. Good fortune always seek by any race or religion if comes to celebration. Thank for dropping by...please leave down your comment before you leave my site!
