Little Einstein~

Did a Little Einstein 3D cake for friend’s boy. This Little Einstein is also my gals favourite cartoon on Playhouse Disney, hence I have lots of help in making this cake. They advised me on the clothings of the characters, but I couldn’t get them quite well, so I end up changing the colour of the t-shirt for the specky boy.

 

I think the cake not very well done. Lots of mistakes. The rocket ship supposed to be oval shape, but I did a round shaped and the specky boy and the others characters are all not really nice.

However, the feedback was the cake was nice and everyone in her family loves it.

Triathlon

My friend is an triathlon athlete, on his birthday, which was 12 days after mine, I made him a Triathlon cake. The cake was madeira cake covered with fondant.

Hope my friend had enjoyed this cake.

Baker’s Dreams LLP

Lately, I’ve been busy with a little venture of mine.

Often the time, I find myself travelling all over Singapore to buy the things I need for baking or decorating a cake and I can go from West to East. Sometimes, there are tools which I’ve seen but rare in Singapore. Hence, in order to satisfied my own buying needs, I set up an online store with my friend and named in Baker’s Dreams.

Baker’s Dreams, a place where a baker dreams to have, a place where the baker can find all the special tools and niche products. Even some common products so that everything can be under one roof. Best of all, we do postage and delivery at a nominal charges. Meet ups are possible as well.

I hope my reader can visit us and see what we have to offer.

Happy Father’s Day!

This weekend is Father’s Day! It coincide with my Father-In-Law’s birthday. As Blackforest is my hubby’s family favourite, I did it again.

Blackforest cake:

The flowers were piped by me with freshcream. Personally, I feel it’s not a bad being that it was self learn However, I think it’s a bit not quite suitable for a father who is a man. Nevertheless, I hope he like this cake.

Naughty Cake

This is the first time I did a naughty cake. This cake was for my hubby’s boss. He was 50+, as I had been very tempted to do a naughty cake, my hubby suggested this cake for his boss. As his boss is able to take such shock, so I went ahead to do it.

 

This is a 12″ Black Forest cake. Hope the Birthday Man like it!

Durian Cake

Durian is in the season now! My friend asked me for a durian cake, so I gave her a durian cake :

 

This cake was covered heavily with lots and lots of durians! The spike were piped using Royal Icing and was put back into the oven to bake to create the browning effect. I’ve tasted it, it’s nice and personally I found that even though it’s cover with royal icing, it wasn’t that sweet after all and the “shell” was crunchy too.

Cake Decoration Competition @ Radin Mas CC

I just came back from a Cake Decoration Competition held by Radin Mas Community Centre for their Community Day. I joined with my partner, Connie. We just thought of having fun decorating the cake and having the exposure of competition of it. But a surprise came to us when we got the 1st prize.  Here’s our presentation:

 The side of the cake, we created some hills, clouds and birds. Can you see what they are having for their pinic? Sandwich, burger, hotdog bun and 2 cups of water. There’s the pinic basket there.

 We also printed the backdrop from the internet and put it behind to make it feel more 3D.

All the fondant figurines were done a day before the competition.

Those competitors kept saying we were pro, so they kind of sounded unfair to them, but I don’t really agreed. Firstly, we are not pro, we are just hobbist and because it’s our interest, we explore and learn from all medias. Secondly, I would say we came prepared. We were not given a theme to work on, we just try to figure out what to design and came this design. Hence, with a design and plan on hands, we are well prepared so we are able to perform better.

Hmm, we shall named this as Ms Aibigail suggested….. “A Blissful Pinic”

Huge & Yummy!

It’s beyond description. See it yourself!

Happy Mothers’ Day!!

I am a mother of 3, but my gals are still too young to give me surprises for this special day. However, I would wish all mothers a Very belated Happy Mothers’ Day!

This Mothers’ Day, I did 9 pcs of cupcakes and 1 mango mousse cake for my friend’s mother and my own mother.

Personally, I love the cupcakes. They are so lovely and the colours were so vibrant in my opinion. If I have a chance to do it again, I’m sure I will be able to do even better!

Take a look and let me know what do you think? Do you agree with me?

  

As for the mango mousse cake, I did this for my own mother, it’s not very nice or fantastic, but since she don’t like to eat sweet cakes, she loves sponge cake, I had thought of doing this mousse cake for her. Though it’s not very nice on the outlook and design, but it’s taste was very nice! Not so sweet and yet full of  mango fragrance. (Picture not available yet)
