Purple birthday cake

The week 28 (July 02-07) has been crazy. It was a die-die week LOL There were 2 requests (Dinosaur cake and Hi-5 cookies) and this purple cake for my housemate/friend, Marix. I could’ve managed it except that I had to prepare and finish the purple cake secretly! I had to tell white lies every time…

Belle’s cake

Since I don’t have much projects these days, I was eager to practice painting a fondant cake, specifically drawings of roses. The right timing came when my friend celebrated her birthday last Thursday. I wasn’t able to give her the cake that day. Normally, I only give cakes on weekends (I prepare/bake/decorate on weekdays). This…

Chocolate Cake with Kit Kat & M&Ms (4)

Here’s the 4th take for the Kit Kat barrel cake with M&Ms but this time using the white Kit Kat chocolates. My previous housemates, Chen and Tanjo, requested this cake for their son’s baptism and 1st birthday. It’s an 8″ chocolate square cake with ganache filling and finishing decorated with Kit Kat’s and M&Ms. I…

Craving for a carrot cake

I mean reallllyyy craving to eat a carrot cake since Thursday. I haven’t found a recipe that’s easy to follow and also the fact that I’m too lazy to grate carrots arrgghh! I wish I have a food processor LOL. Since I don’t have much projects lately, I thought that this is the best time…

Chocolate Cake with Kit Kat & M&Ms (3)

Here’s another take for the Kit Kat barrel cake 🙂 It seems that this chocolate-overload cake is getting popular (third request this year) lol This was requested by Anna for her sweet daughter’s 10th birthday today. Initially, she requested for a Winx Club themed cake for Carla but there’s not enough time to make the…

Chocolate cake with Kit Kat & M&Ms

M&Ms?… Check! Kit Kat?… Check! Tada! An 8-inch chocolate square cake with Kit Kat & M&Ms. I made this cake for my Goddaughter baby Nickie’s 2nd year birthday last Friday (20-April). I’ve done 2 KitKat barrell cakes before (with swiss meringue & with black & white maltesers) but they’re both round shaped. I tried to…

Previous cakes

When I temporarily stopped baking, I was also not in the mood to update my blog 😦 Some of my friends who (secretly) regularly check my blog were asking me what happened to the cakes I baked for baby Nickie hehehe I promised my friend (Nickie’s mother) that I will bake her daughter’s cake for…

Maltesers and Kit Kat Chocolate Cake

It was a chocolate-overload-Saturday. Aside from our church choir’s Pre-Christmas party, we also had a late birthday celebration of the two cute girls (Elizabeth & Holly), daughters of our Conductress and Pianist, respectively. I baked this 7-inch chocolate cake frosted and filled with chocolate buttercream and also topped with ganache. I’ve always wanted to use…

A Chocolatey Birthday

Richa requested for a cake to celebrate her three cousins’ birthdays last Saturday (27th-Nov). This is a double 8-inch eggless chocolate cake filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream then topped with chocolate ganache. I kept it simple and just decorated it with 3 cute ducks (store-bought-icing) to represent the 3 celebrants (btw, each duck has…

For Baby Nickie (7)

It’s that time of the month again to celebrate baby Nickie’s birthday. Yes, every 16th of the month up to being 1 year old 🙂 I’ve almost forgotten about it until Marix asked me last weekend about the cake. It turned out that she checks on my blog on what would be my next cake…

This gave me the chance to practice the chocolate transfer method 🙂 Tweety bird and the name were all made with chocolate. And decorated with maltesers (her parents favorite hehehehe). Here are the cakes from her previous celebrations: First…

Cartoon Cakes

I attended Anna’s workshop on cartoon cakes last Sunday. I was interested to learn the chocolate transfer method. I once did the buttercream transfer method based on some online tutorials. But I think the chocolate transfer method has a nicer finished-look on cakes and also it tastes better! 🙂 In this workshop, Anna demonstrated how…

For baby Nickie (4)

Yesterday, (15th, Sunday) was baby Nickie’s Christening day. I baked 50 butter cookies as souvenirs. For today, 16th, is her 4th month. To celebrate it, I baked this chocolate cake frosted with dark chocolate ganache. This was decorated using the failed macarons from my first attempt and tied with a cute ribbon. (Special thanks to…

For baby Nickie (3)

Today is baby Nickie’s 3rd month 🙂 What better way to celebrate it but to bake this chocolate cake then frost it with mocha buttercream icing. Using the Wilton candy melts (Pink), I made the heart-shaped monogram 🙂 Initially, it was 5 hearts to spell her name.. I never mispelled her name until last night!…
