March 2010 birthdays

Some of the cakes I made in March but I was too lazy to upload. It's very tiring this few weeks, thank God, most customers came back with wonderful feedbacks. Tq.

Handbag cake

My first fondant handbag, it's for a friend who's been my friend for many2 years, have a wonderful celebration with loved ones!

Today is not a happy day for me, but cakes make me happy, and this one does. Oh what the heck, it's a hard life and I'm tired. I'm glad my friend loves the cake, it's my job to make my customers happy. Unfortunately it's been my job to make everyone around me happy without realizing my emotion is running dry and sometimes it's just too much to swallow. My heart physically feels pain but eyy I'm sure in one way or another, each one of us suffers in a different way. I thank my best buddy for being there for me today, it would've been harder without you.

I must say sorry for the owner of this cake for not putting her daughter's name at the cake. The instruction wasn't clear to me and I should have asked. I hope she likes the cake anyway.

Heart-shape cake

To our beloved Suraya, we are going to celebrate her bday tomorrow, it was supposed to be today but the Mobility van is not available so postponed to tomorrow. I've already cooked spaghetti sauce and this cake is for her. I guess it will end up in the fridge first. To Sue, we pray for her recovery and hope for a miracle that one day she'll say hello to us again.

March 2010 cupcakes

More cupcakes

Jimbo cupcakes for a birthday at Gymboree, looking at the clown reminds me how time-consuming it is to make a figurine like this. I understand now why cakes with figurines are soooooo expensive when u see them at the shops, every little part needs to be done carefully and delicately.

Bday cuppies

Order from Siti, tq, glad u all liked it!

For a new born babygirl.

March 2010 Weddings & Gifts

It's school holiday and my job begins! Everyone gets married and I get to do the cakes. This one took a long time to decorate, not because it's difficult (bukan kacang tanah, hee..), but because after wrapping the cake with fondant, I didn't know what to do with it. I decided to go to sleep and hoped I'd get a dream of how to decorate the cake and it worked. I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning and the idea came pouring like heavy rain. This one is for my twins kindie teacher. A very nice girl who chooses pink and purple theme for her wedding. Congratulations Nadia, wishing you happily eva afta! :-)

A simple cake for a special wedding. Daniel and Molee, I'm so happy to be part of the occasion. The wedding reception went well. I saw most our nebors there, good time for catch up session. Molee looked gorgeous in her white dress and Daniel surely a proud man for the day. Congratulations Daniel and Molee. Here's to greener, cleaner and fresher side of the leaf ;-)

Jangan marah I copy your quote!

February Birthday cakes

I'm so happy that somebody like the girl-version of this cake and ordered one for her son. She asked for choc cake, but oh my, I didnt know doing the blocks for choc cake is so much much harder, it's because pieces from the choc cake will stick to the fondant and it's impossible to clean, this will be the last time I do choc cake for the blocks, after this only buttercake I can offer. I hope the owner of this cake is happy with the cake inside out. Thank you for the order.

Two chocolate cakes with choc topping, another popular order from customers.

This one, customer wanted orange cake with creamcheese and BEN 10 of course for her son.

Princess Ariel cake

I'm sure many little girls are big fans of Ariel. This girl Qistina is a very cute girl, I will put up her photo later. Hopefully her mum will send me ASAP. I finally get to do a disney character sitting on top of a rock. The one that interests me the most is tinkerbell. Hopefully there'll be customer asking for tinkerbell next time around.

February cupcakes

These two cupcakes are for Chinese New Year gift. I quite like the red, it's nice sometimes to see bright colours on my cuppies.

I get this order from a customer asking specifically for green theme. I hope they are ok with my design.

As usual Oreo cuppies popular demand

I like this cupcakes, the pics are from the customer and she gave me such a warm feedback. I appreciate that very much, tq!

A few more cupcakes from customers.

It's been awhile since I make a special Birthday cake. This one I like, it's for a little celebrity, a girl belongs to one of my closest friends. There're having a spa party at this very moment at a kids' spa in Sri Hartamas. I will try to ask my friend to put her photo here later. (Jan 30, 3.52pm)

Hantaran cupcakes

Hola 2010!!

Happy New Year Everyone! Altho it's a bit "basi" already. I've been quite occupied with christmas and new year parties. Pre-christmas dinner by Rosie, christmas lunch at Priya's, new year dinner at Fatty Crab with the ladies, and new year dinner with hubby and friends and new year dinner thrown by Karen.

In between those parties, I had to bake and I had to settle my daughter's school books, making sure that each one was wrapped otherwise she'd be in trouble or I'd say "I'd be in trouble". My daughter is a nervous sort. If things don't get done the way she expects, she could be a pain in the **s! haha

I didn't upload cake photos for new year since they are repeat orders, meaning more or less the same design again and again. Like today for instance, I made the Oreo cupcakes again. But I DID make cupcakes for hantaran, oh well, I'll upload them when there's time. I also bake yummy cakes like choc cake with choc topping and orange cake with cream cheese icing and cheesecake. I'll include these in my price list.

My new year's resolution? Ok...I've been meaning to come up with a price list for my cakes, but it's just too difficult to price birthday cakes, for cupcakes i think i can manage. Birthday cakes are very subjective, it will depend on "what customers ask", "how long it takes to do it", and "whether the requests are within the given price".

But don't worry my dear customers, I WILL finish the price list which will give rough idea of how much a cake will cost.

What have I achieved in 2009? Well, there are many that I keep to myself, personal achievements only my heart can see.

But some general ones:

1) I managed to buy a second-hand piano for my daughter. She's gonna attend piano lesson starting tomorrow.

2) I made my twins quit their milk bottles. It was a bit cold turkey, or should I say cruel of me to...just do it!! They didn't cry but at times saying "mama, sometimes I keep thinking I cannot sleep without my botol". And I said " Well, it's ok to miss your botol, but you are going to be 6 years old soon, you can drink milk with cup already, malu la orang nampak.." And until today they never ask about their botol anymore.

Ok...I'm not going to write more than that otherwise some of the personal ones will eventually accidentally come out ;-)

I thank God for giving me this special life with my family and good friends (nebors, school friends, college and uni). It's not super duper perfect but it's enough for me. I hope this new year will allow me to invent new cakes, and I hope it will bring a lot of happiness to all of you out there.

Take care everyone,
Lotsalove from your baker
