Pooh & Friends on log for Jesse's 1st BD

Deep in the hundred acres wood where Christopher Robin plays....

Pelyn wanted a Pooh Theme for Jesse's 1st Birthday Bash...

Testing testing.... showing Pelyn & Keith how the cake is going to be like.... But think they had difficulties trying to visualise what I'm talking about :P

1st time using Decor-set for my cake ;-) Effect is so GOOD!! save lots of my time molding "cheong" Poohs & friends :P And eating big chunks of fondant is too "Yucky" for Pelyn's family (and me too :P) At least, Jesse can play with the Decor-set as toys after the Party :D

I did the cake like tat only.... Then Put the Decor-set on top and the cake is DONE!! easy 吧?!?!!

Happy Teachers' Day 2010

These "Happy Teachers' Day" Cupcakes are for Nyx's and Tessa's teachers @ school

Nyx's 7th Birthday Cake (2) ~ ChessBoard Cake with Chocolate Chess Pieces ~

My Ah Lao posted this pix on his FB, quoting ~Chess is a piece of Cake~ :D

This is a cake combining my daughter's hobby & mine..... Nyx plays Chess in School... she is in the Junior Chess Club @ Northland Primary School.

Nyx wanted me to make her this Chessboard Cake (aka checkerboard cake) for her Birthday since few months ago... I wasn't sure if I'm able to do it... so I spent a few days browsing websites about this kind of cake. At first I tot it was easy... just need to buy candy mould can oredi... :D

Doing this cake take me many evenings to melt those chocolate... Its actually easier than molding fondant figurines.... but chocolate-melting is a messy task :P I dunno how much paper hand towel r wasted and every nite I have to bleach those kitchen hand towels as all r stained by my chocolate :D

I used chocolate compound for the "black" pieces as its much easier to melt & harden compared to high-cocoa content chocolate.... anyway, kids just love the "sweetness" not the % of cocoa content :P

Actually, I know nuts about chess game.... I dun even know how to display the chess pieces... so I got to get my daughter to be my adviser :P

These white pieces r melted with white chocolate compound.... very SWEET!!

I'm so satisfied with this cake.... everyone in school was like "WOW!! U MEAN THIS IS A CAKE & U MADE IT???" heheheee.... my lips swinging from left to right :D

Chocolate Fudge Cake for Paul's 9th Birthday

I made this for Paul's 9th Birthday.

Its a 4-layers Chocolate Fudge Cake sandwiched with Valrhona 70% dark chocolate ganache.

Its covered with Chocolate Fondant, topped with 13 mini fudge-balls stuffed inside mini candy foil cups. I topped them with a sheet of white fondant, making them looked like mini-cupcakes.

All the colourful "HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY PAUL" are fondant cut-outs.

I had lot of fun making this colourful Birthday cake for Paul... and I'm glad the family like it ;-)

Another Strawberry Cake for my Mum's 62nd Birthday

I did another Strawberry Cake (again!) Thanks to the Korean Strawberries season & its so loved by everyone in my family :D

I made a strawberry fresh cream cake for mum and decorated it with FONDANT!! I read from many bloggers saying that this is not possible as the fresh cream is too light to take the weight of the fondant... and the moisture from the fresh cream will damage & de-colour the fondant decor...etc... etc...

But I still want some nice "fondant effect" on this cake ;-) so I tried to do the colourful "生日快乐" on a piece of white fondant, then I "paste" it in the centre of the freshcream cake, decorated with a ring of apricot-glazed strawberries around it. Then I did 3 embossed pink colour fondant strips to stick to the side of the cake. The effect is quite neat leh!! ;-)

As this cake need to be refrigerated, I was surprised that the side fondant didn't "melt" at all :D It still stay neat for the whole day, till my mum cut the cake at almost 9pm last night. As for "生日快乐" @ the centre of the cake, it did "melt" a little and I'm glad I did the wordings on a piece of white fondant :D only the white fondant melted nicely into the white fresh cream but the colourful wordings still stay nicely, unmelted :D

My mum turned 62 on 23Jan10. How time flies!

Poor Ah-Mah Celebrating her birthday with my 2 gals only :( I think she missed her son & 2 grandsons who will all be in US for the next 2 years :(

Tessa's Birthday Cake No. 3

And here's the 3rd Birthday cake for Tessa! :D for celebration at grandma's place together with cousins on Saturday, 16 Jan.

This is my 1st mini fondant tier-cake attempt. ~我成功了~:D and I'm so happy that this cake was welcomed by so many "WOWs" from everyone @ Ah-Mah's house :-)

The Hello Kitty cutter from Jenn 几好用一下wor :D
....And here's a slice of the cake....

Confession time =P

I bought a pack of "Phoon Huat" Brand fondant and I coloured them pink with intension to cover the bottom layer of the cake. The top layer, I'lll be using my only pack of Wilton brand fondant. By the time I'm ready to cover the "pink" cake, TROUBLE!!! The pink fondant kept breaking up :( I knead and knead, some kept sticking to my fondant mat while the rest simply breaks up into crumps.... I just can't get them into the right texture :( After more then half an hour trying on the fondant, I GAVE UP!! I threw the whole pack into the dustbin X(

So at the very last minute, I colour part of my Wilton Fondant "PINK". Its already almost midnight and I realised I dun have enough fondant to cover the whole of the lower layer cake.. so I cut out 1 pc for the top part and 2 pcs for the side of the cake. It did cover well initially but by the next morning, the side pc start to slide down and as u can see from the picture below, there is a crack and the inside cake is exposed!! so ugly :(

I had only a tiny bit of white fondant left and i HOPE this idea works :D I rolled out 3 stripes of fondant and embossed it a little to make it look like a ribbon, then I stick them on the "crack" to cover-up the exposed area :D heheeheee... heng arh!!! it works!!! :D

And I'm so glad my 1st Fondant Tier-Cake attempt recieved quite a bit of compliments from everyone!

=*> ~ Thank You ~ =*>

My little Tessa Turns 4 :D ~Birthday Celebration No. 1: Cup Cakes~

Tessa turns 4 on 15 Jan, Friday. She had her 1st birthday celebration @ school on 14 Jan, Thursday instead coz her teachers were concerned that it will be too rushed for the children to attend the computer lesson which comes straight after the celebration. I made these batch of cuppies for the little children... they were all so excited & amazed by the Mickey, Minnie & Hello Kitty cuppies :D

Mickey & Minnie cuppies

Ben10 Watch again

Was Trying out my fondant on Ben10 Omnitrix watch again! The smaller Omnitrix watch was did by my hubby wor :D He said my cheong Ben10 Watch look weird so he tried his own version... heheee... Not bad rite?? at least I think it looks nice! But hor, my gals preferred my version leh! hahaa....

This lot was given to my Sister-in-law's twins, Jay & Jeff at my in-law's place last Saturday. They took the watches into the room to play and ate all up b4 my sister-in-law took picture of them ;-) luckily I did after they were done at my home b4 bringing them out :D

Surprised the twins preferred my version too!! hahaa... maybe the kids feel that watches should be in "round" shape instead of "square"??? :D

Sorry Keith, I didn't have them fixed on your cakes as I didn't know how to place them on the cuppies... they just look weird... I promised your mum I'll make 1 using clay so u can keep them as a toy.

For Keith's Birthday ~Ben10 & Princess CupCakes

Ben10 Watch Cupcakez for Keith's 5th Birthday

Initially Keith wanted only the Ben10 Aliens but Auntie Sherynn have no power to create aliens out from my fondant so sorry ;P I can only find this lot of icing images from JB :-)

I did the cheong watches on chocolate fondant as I didn't want the children to eat too much of the black coloring if I were to dye my own fondant.... I think I need to add half a bottle of the "Wilton Black" in order to get the "Black Color" right!!

And I made some Princess Cupcakes for the girls in school as I think they all will be like"ME", not at all interested in "Boy's Toys" :P

Total 49 cupcakes ready to go!! Will be bringing them to school @ 3pm.

I tried a different type of frosting this time. I mixed the Ready-made Cream Cheese icing with Daisy Margerine. Reason: to bring down the "super-sweetness" of the Pillsbury icing. This icing mixture is erm... nice.... :-) and it will stay un-melted without refrigerating, in our super hot & humid Singapore weather for the whole day :D and it kind of bring tone down the "sweetness" of cupcakes. Imagine ~Sweet cupcakes + V.Sweet Fondant + Food Colorings + V.Sweet Butter cream~ the kids will go hyper-active the whole day 8-l **faint**

Playing with Fondant :D Imitation Ben 10 watch by me =P

Cheong Ben 10 Watch!! by me :D

I've got an order for Nyx's classmate's brother, Keith's birthday on 24Nov for a Ben 10 cake. I agreed to this order as its a just super-simple 30 cupcakes order with Ben10 icing images. So I went Ann's shop, Bakewell @ JB (again :D) to get the ready-made icing images yesterday.

Trying to add some "FUN" to the simple-order, and since I'm quite free today, so I tried making the Ben10 watch using fondant... heheee... since I have 2 girls, I know nuts about boy's toys! so I imitate this from some one's fondant cake pictures published by google images search ;-) so the rightful owner, pls dun sue me for copyright :D

Keith's BD is 2 weeks away... so come back 2 weeks later to see the actual cake lah ;-)
