Hoot…Hoot…Owls on board

There’s some delay on my set up, so not sure when it will happen, hope it will be soon.

Meanwhile, I had just celebrated my family members’ birthday in April. One of them love owls, so here they are, 1 pair of owls on top of the mango mousse cake.

Think i’ll need to brush up my piping skills. :p

Enjoy!

Longvity cake

This was a blackforest flavoured cake, one of my family favourite.

It’s for my sis-in-lawcs 60th birthday, hence this is quite a traditional looking cake.

I hope the chinese peaches looked like peaxhes to you as these were my first time piping peaches.

Birthday cake for twin gals

Yes, I know I’ve promised that the last post will be my last post as a home baker, but I really can’t resist the requirement of my childhood friend for a birthday cake for her twin god daughter.

Not a very complicated cake, but simple and nice.

The weather hasn’t been good for fondant work, but I’ve managed to barely pull it through. :p

As for my shop, do be patience with me as there are some unforeseen incident that caused the delay on the setup of the shop.

Pirate ship

This is my new attempt to pirate ship. I had searched through the web and got some ideas off the web to create something similar.

This pirate cake consist of chocolate butter cake with vanilla buttercream.

The sails were printed out from paper and the rest are fondant figurines done by me and a little help from my eldest gal.

Hope the birthday boy will like it.

By the way, this will be my last project as home baker. I would like to take this opportunity for my followers who had been following me for all these years of support.

I will be starting my own cafe and ordering of cakes and cupcakes are available via walk-in or online order. My cafe will be organising baking classes too, hence for those who are interested, do feel free to write to me and let me know what are the classes you would like to see.

My cafe will be located opp Bukit Timah Shopping Centre but I’m not reviewing more as the cafe will only be ready in April 2013.

Do remember to return here for more updates or visit us on Facebook for more updates. Please “like” me on facebook by searching for “My Baker’s Dreams” page. Hope to see you there!

I’ll be busy with the preparation of the cafe as well as for the Chinese New Year bakings. Will keep in touch!

Bread galore!

I’ve been baking lots of bread recently as I am hoping I can have fresh bread baked for my family on a daily basis.

Recently, I’ve managed to get some Japanese bread flour from Bakerz@work located in Macpherson Road.this bread flour was said to produce a softer bread than normal bread flour as the protein level is lower than normal flour which is suitable for sourdough.

I did the red wine raisin bread again. This my x number of attempts and I simply can’t stop baking it. Love it so much and this time with the Japanese flour, the texture was even more soft and tastier.

You can really tells what’s the difference through the photo.
Look at the air pockets in it:

It’s airy and really soft. Now that I’m bogging abt this bread, I’m drooling, can’t wait for weekends to come so that I can start another batch of it.
All Thanks to the Japanese flour that I’ve got. Now, I’ve got to check if they carries Japanese plain flour for my cakes!
