Some Changes In Our Kitchen


Let Them Eat Cake!

Some birthday cakes created over the past couple of weeks:




Ushering in 2014!

It's almost the end of January, New Year's has come and gone and we're now ushering in the Chinese New Year. The themes for this month's orders have been very Floral, with lots of rosettes and cherry blossom-like detailing.

I'm taking a 2 week break over CNY *yay!*, bakes shall resume mid-Feb :)

Top: 9-inch Mango Yoghurt Cake with Cream Cheese Ombre rosettes
Bottom: Red Velvet cupcakes

Cherry Blossom inspired piping, in theme with the Lunar New Year

Not your typical CNY cookie! 
Chinese Five Spice flavoured Sugar Cookies with personalised message and artwork.

"Ang Pow" Cookies! Yes, there's actually money inside! 
Artwork for the edible printed images supplied by customer.

Christmas is around the corner!

Where has the year gone?? A very late post, I've been neglecting this blog haven't I?

It's been a busy week, prepping Gingerbread for the weekend's SSPCA Christmas Charity Bazaar; introducing a new item to the dessert menu at H.I.P. Cafe along with my regular bakes for other cafes.

December Special at HIP Cafe, the Apple Almond Frangipane- Slices of Granny Smith apples, a rich Almond filling, and caramelised Cinnamon Sugar. Absolutely comforting served with Vanilla ice cream!

An all-time favourite, the Lemon Meringue, also available at HIP.
(Changing up the meringue piping for some variety)


Soft Honey Gingerbread for the SSPCA Sale. All proceeds go towards the Animal Shelter so send those fur babies some love and buy a Gingerbread Boy (or Tree) ;D

And finally, a photo from a few weeks back: The White Rajah! Artwork by local artist Daphne Siaw, printed onto edible sheet and attached onto a fondant covered Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate frosting.

Up, Up & Away!

A Hot Air Balloon themed birthday cake, with a special request for Passionfruit flavour.




Quite unintentionally, the decor worked out to resemble a Smiley Face ;)

Hey Mickey! You're so fine, you blow my mind!

Fondant covered Red Velvet Cake. (Almost) Too cute to slice up :)



Down The Rabbit Hole...

...Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it and found in it a very small cake, on which the words "EAT ME" were beautifully marked in currants. "Well, I'll eat it," said Alice...



I'm just slightly obsessed with everything Alice, so I was keen to attempt this Mad Hatter's theme cake (even though I was equal parts freaked out with working on another fondant cake!)

The Top Hat is constructed of layers of Red Velvet cake, accessorised with a gold pocket watch and roses. The Chocolate cupcakes (topped with a simple Vanilla Buttercream) were accented with other Alice inspired fondant decorations.
