Marshmallow Brownies

Hi there sweeties!

Just a simple posting on one of my goodies. Marshmallow Brownies to be exact :-) A chocolaty brownies mixed with toasted peanuts & marshmallows on the inside & topped with chocolate ganache & more of those fluffy marshmallows :-)

This was ordered by sweet Ms. Edura for her family gathering, all two sets of it :-) Thank you dear Edura for your order & for always supporting Ritz Passion. It was an honor indeed to bake for you :-) Big hugs & kisses ✗o✗o

The end :-P

P/S : You'll know when I'm out of idea when my posting is this 'basic' *chuckles*

Mojo

Hello there peeps! Hope every one is in the best of health & happiness :-) I know...I know...It has been quite sometime since I last post anything here ( too long maybe! ) :-P I'm pretty sure that by now some of you must be wondering why the lack of news on my blog...Whether this blog is still active or just collecting dust ( erkkk! )...Or maybe some even noticed that there was not much updates on either my blog, Facebook & even Instagram!

Well, I have no other reason other than this four letter word - MOJO. Yup, I somehow lost my mojo for blogging :-( I just can't seem to find the words or mood to type even a short decent post! I have been trying for so many times, trust me. I would actually go through all the motions ( day & night ) like switching on my laptop, stare into my laptop's screen, look at my keyboard trying to make up words...and blank! Nothing! Most of the time I'll end up staring at my screen & in the end just walk away from my laptop. Heck, to be honest, I even lost my mojo for all my other social media - be it Facebook, Instagram or even WhatsApp. Yea, I guess I have been sort of a recluse these few weeks ( or even months! ). Totally lost my social media mojo! :-P Any one seen it around? He..he..

Mojo...Blojo ( that's what I call my blogging mojo ) or whatever it is, tonight I decided that I'm just gonna go ahead & just type whatever comes to mind! It's time for me to find back my mojo :-P So baby step it shall be for now....Lil baby steps back to my blogging & social media :-P

For now, let's start with this simple fondant cake order which I received from Ms. Tuan Ira. Tuan Ira requested for a Fudge Cake with a simple design as part of a wedding ( or was it engagement? ) dowry & she wanted it in black color with some yellow color to make it pop :-)

Here was what I came up with...and am really happy to report that Tuan Ira was delighted with the outcome when she came to collect her cake :-) Yipee!

Owhhh! Please pardon the lack of proper set up & the extra lighting that came with the cake's photo...It was night time when Tuan Ira came to pick up her cake & I was not able to find a decent lighting & background at that time :-P

My sincere thank you to Tuan Ira for giving me the opportunity to create her cake & for trusting me to come up with my own design for her cake. It was great fun making your cake & I truly appreciate it Tuan Ira. Thank you! :-)

Hhhmmm...I guess that's it for today :-) Hoping that my mojo/blojo will come back to me 100% soon so that I can share all my other goodies creations with you ( yes, there's tonnes of it still stuck in my draft box! ). Till my next post, a very good day to all! Catch up with you soon! ✗o✗o

Blessings

Making cakes & goodies for my loved ones has always been my passion...When my passion turns to a full time job, I don't consider it a burden but a blessing :-) Yes, I loveeeeeeeeeeee making cakes & goodies for my family, friends & of course my customers. Nothing makes me happier than to see that big smile on someone's face when they receive goodies that I especially created for them. Priceless!

It is indeed a blessing knowing that my cakes & goodies get to be a part of someone's special day...Days like the occasional birthdays, engagements, weddings and even baby showers :-) A blessing that I forever hold dear & close to my heart :-)

So when someone chooses my cakes & goodies to be a part of their special moments continuously, now that is another feeling all together! That I would say an honor indeed :-) This is such the case with dear Ms. Fieza, who's staying all the way in Klang ( about 1.5 hour drive from my place ).

From her lovey dovey dating years to her engagement day, I was given the opportunity to create her goodies years after years :-) And finally, when she called me up saying she wanted me to create her wedding cake, of course I couldn't help but to feel deeply touched & honored!

I wanted so much to convey my gratitude & thanks to Fieza for her continuous support all these years, so I decided to create a special cake for her special day. A cake that reflects all of Fieza's personality - sweet, bubbly & of course her kind heart :-)

Cake flavor was American Carrot & Walnut Cake ( bottom tier ) & Red Velvet Cake ( top tier ). Fieza's favorite colors are purple & pink so I decided to create her cake with all her favorite colors :-) 

And here's my creation, a special one just for Fieza....

Now comes the best part about making this cake...Apart from being commissioned to do Fieza's cake, I was also invited to be a part of her special day! How wonderful is that? :-) It touched me tremendously that Fieza included me as one of her guest. All I can say is that her wedding was such a beautiful wedding...A perfect day filled with so much love & joy! Here are some of the photos that I managed to capture :-)

To my dear Fieza, my heartfelt congratulations to you on your beautiful union. I pray that your marriage will be blessed with lots of joy, good health & endless love. Happy Wedding Day sweetie!

Thanks all for dropping by & reading through my post. Till next time, have a blessed day ahead & enjoy! ✗o✗o

Warm Fuzzy Feeling

I don't know why but it ALWAYS warms my heart each time I receive goodies orders from sons or daughters that wish to present their parents/moms/dads with a specially-made-to-order goodies :-) Just the thought of being able to make goodies for their beloved parents/moms/dads fills my heart with so much joy. A warm fuzzy feeling that fills my whole body...A feeling that I can't describe in words. Yeah, I guess I'm such a family oriented kind of gal. Family means the world to me :-)

Here's a cupcake set which I made especially for Liana's dad. She wanted to celebrate her dad's birthday & requested that I make some cupcakes with a Tiffany Blue color theme. Cupcake flavor was Orange Poppy Seeds With Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting.

Liana, it was an honor being able to bake for you & your loved ones. I hope you've enjoyed the goodies :-) Thanks so much for the opportunity & for choosing my goodies!

Thanks all for dropping by & read my short post. Don't forget to make time for your family, no matter how busy you are cause we'll never know how much time we'll have with them. Enjoy every moment & cherish one another :-)

Take care & much love! ✗o✗o

Doraemon Fancy Cookies

Hhmmm...Not sure if every one out there knows this character 'Doraemon', so I thought I'll take some time to introduce you to it :-)

Doraemon is actually a character in one of Japan's famous manga series. It is a robotic cat which practically have solutions to all kind of problems. It's sort of Japan's version of Inspector Gadget ( owhhh! you know Inspector Gadget, don't you? ), only that it's a robot :-P

To be honest, Doraemon is extremely famous in my country...For years the show has been playing on our local television. Heck! Even I watched the show when I was little :-P I just love how Doraemon simply managed to solve all sort of problems by taking out magic things from his pocket. He...he...Cute character indeed! 

Now that I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy much older, Doraemon seemed to be a distant childhood memory to me. I totally forgot about it until Ms. Farida called me up & requested a Doraemon theme fancy cookies. Suddenly I was transported back to my childhood time! :-)

Farida's request was for some chocolate butter cookies with Doraemon theme & as her order was a short noticed order, I decided to create Farida's cookies with some edible image of Doraemon. Here's how it turned out :-)

The look from Farida's face as she came to collect her cookies was truly priceless to me :-) She practically squealed with joy & even did a little happy dance! Ha...ha...It's the best feeling indeed to see how much joy your goodies could bring to someone. Best feeling EVERRRRRRR! *doing my own happy dance* :-)

To Farida, my sincerest of thanks for your order & for giving me the freedom to create your goodies :-) I had such a wonderful time making it! Thank YOU!

Well, that's all for now dearies. I still have a few post that I need to update so you'll be seeing me real soon ;-) In the meantime, a lovely day to all! Hugs! ✗o✗o

Button Fun Cupcakes

How do you create a birthday cupcakes for someone who's happy-go-lucky, jovial, fun & above all, a sweet kind of person? 

I was actually wrecking my brain trying to find the best design to truly reflect this sweet little lady when suddenly it hit me! Why not go for something that's sweet & fun, just like Ms. Haley herself :-) So I decided to come up with these button crazy cupcakes for her :-)

Sincere thanks to Ms. Syikin for giving me total freedom in creating the goodies design & for allowing me to go crazy :-P It meant a lot to me that you trusted me enough to come up with your special order. Thanks so much for your continuous support dear *flying kisses*

To Ms. Haley, I hope you've enjoyed your cupcakes, which I've specifically designed for you :-) Big hugs to you sweetie! ✗o✗o

Owhhh! Here's some photo of her birthday celebration which Haley graciously share with us :-) Thanks for sharing dear!

Hope you've enjoyed my post & till the next one ( soon I hope! ), sending loads of love to all! ✗o✗o

Hens Party Cake

*Naughty mode activated!*

Yup, that was exactly what I did upon receiving Ms. Haley & Ms. Roe's order request for a hens party cake, which they are hosting for their dear friend, Ms. Mal :-P Making naughty cakes can be so much fun...but it can also bring out the devil in me, which is a big NO-NO! Ha...ha...Like seriously, my imagination can go wayyyyyyyyyyy wild! :-P

Honestly, I was all geared up to create some XXX hens party theme cake but luckily Haley & Roe 'warned' me in advance that they wanted something 'tame' :-P I guess they know how 'crazy' I can be! *chuckles*

Anyway, after days of figuring out the 'safest' theme for the cake, I finally decided to go with a simple yet sexy bikini set ;-) Haley & Roe had earlier on requested for a shocking pink color cake with zebra's print on it so I did my best to incorporate that onto the cake :-) Here's the final outcome...

Hens Party Cake :-) 

Fudge Cake With Vanilla Buttercream

& Full Fondant Deco

It was really fun making this cake actually...Extra fun as it's my first time trying out the zebra pattern. Hope I nailed the design! :-P

My sincere thanks goes out to Haley & Roe for giving me the opportunity to create their special cake. It is always a pleasure baking for you dearies! *flying kisses* In case I haven't told you before, thank you so much for your continuous support!

Owhhh! Haley was also kind enough to share photos that was taken during the party :-) Boy! Looks like they had sooooooo much fun! Million thanks Haley for sharing with us your photos :-)

The Girls Having Fun :-)

That's it for now & I hope you've enjoyed my post :-) Till next time, big hugs to all! ✗o✗o

Sweet Flowery Cupcakes

Greetings & hello there everyone! How are you? I hope this post will find you in the pinkest of health & happiness :-) 

Gosh! I have to admit that I was pretty excited to be able to find some time to stop by here & say 'hello' to YOU! I have been wanting to interact with my goodies lovers & to update my blog but despite my best of intention, I just couldn't find any free time to sit a while & type my ramblings! Yup, life was terribly hectic! Like, super duper crazy hectic! You know the drill - baking, cooking, running errands...yada...yada...And to top it all, my hard disk have been giving me problems - AGAIN! Seriously, I think I'm just jinx when it comes to all these techy things :-( Blurghhhh! Other than that, I'm all good :-) I guess, hectic means good, right? At least that means I'm alive & kicking :-)

Any way, I sincerely wanted to just stop by here to greet each & every one of YOU :-) Wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of my goodies lovers :-) *flying kisses* 

Now that I've done that...I guess it's back to my busy schedules ( and sorting out my hard disk issue & hoping that I'll be able to retrieve my lost data! ) :'(

I'll end this post with some sweet flowery cupcakes which I made for Ms. Roe :-) It's a mix of Orange Poppy Seed & Chocolate Moist cupcakes with pastel color decorations :-)

Sweet Flowery Cupcakes

Hope the photo will brighten up your day :-) Take care & big hugs to all! ✗o✗o

P/S : Thank you so much Ms. Roe for your order :-) I know this post is wayyyyyyy overdue :-P Sincere apology for taking such a long time to upload this to my blog :-P *blush*

Challenging Myself

Being somewhat of a self taught cake maker, I have to admit that I still lack lots of cake skills & knowledge *blush* Hence why each time I receive some special project cake requests, I couldn't help but to cringe & head to the nearest cupboard to hide myself! Ha...ha...ha...Yes, that's how much of a scaredy cat I am about making fancy cakes :-P I mean, I'm still okay with creating simple cakes but fancy cakes are not really my specialty as I feel I still have loads to learn before I'm good enough to create such cakes.

Imagine then my reaction when dear Ms. CKN called me up requesting for a Canon EOS 7D cake! Yup, I literally whimpered with fright! *chuckles* I have to admit that this is not the first time CKN dropped me a bomb with her fancy cake requests. She did in the past requested a few fancy cakes such like her dinosaur & her Princess Ariel theme cakes but this camera cake is by far the 'fanciest' one she ever requested! I initially wasn't too sure about accepting her order as I honestly feel that I won't be able to pull it off! But just as her previous orders, CKN urges me on to just give it a try & gave me her 101% support. She even told me that she'll accept whatever the outcome of the cake will be, just as long as I give it a go & push myself to at least try making it! How great is she?!! My goodies lovers are simply the best! They are indeed the wind beneath my wings! 

After some sleepless night ( out of fear! ) & a few insecure moments, I finally finished CKN's camera cake...This is the end result of it :-P

CKN's Birthday Gift For Her Beloved Hubby :-)

To my dear CKN, there are just no words to describe how much I value your support & friendship. You've always believed in me & my cake journey. My sincerest thank YOU to you my dear. Hugs!

To my goodies lovers, here's one thing I learn from this experience of mine...No matter how insecure you feel, never let your insecurities hold you down. Just tell yourself to 'Just Do It'! It doesn't matter how bad the outcome might be, the important thing is that at least you've tried :-) And from there on wards, you can always improve yourself :-) That's what I did ;-) My cakes might not be the prettiest or perfect but at least I've tried...and that's the best gift I can ever give myself :-)

Simple Red Velvet Cake

It is always a pleasure baking for my goodies lovers, especially when it's for one of my biggest supporter & true goodies lover, Ms. Anim :-) This time her order was for a simple deco Red Velvet Cake With Lemon Cream Cheese Frostings...

Red Velvet Cake With Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Sincere thanks to you Anim for always supporting me :-) Sending you big hugs & lots of love my dear! ✗o✗o

Chocolate Marshmallow Brownies

My goodies lovers are indeed the best! Not only are they always in my corner supporting me, they also never stop encouraging me in my work...So much so that at times they are even willing to order & try out my new products without any hesitation :-) I am indeed very lucky to have such great supporters. Thank you, you lovely bunch! *flying kisses to each & every one of YOU!*

One of my strongest supporter & goodies lover is my dear sweet Ms. Anim. I honestly wouldn't have made it this far if not for her constant support, feedbacks & never ending encouragements all these years. Yes, years! When I'm insecure about my goodies, she'll be the one urging me to simply do my best & just enjoy my baking journey...When I feel my goodies are never good enough compared to other bakers, she'll be the one telling me to never compare my goodies to others but rather create my own kind of goodies. And best of all, she never fails to order my goodies for all her family's event, from birthdays to weddings or even for her family's eating pleasure :-) 

This time around she wanted to try a different kind of brownies so I whipped up this Chocolate Marshmallow Brownies for her :-) A chocolaty brownie with loads of peanuts & gooey marshmallow on the inside, topped with more marshmallows & chocolate chips :-)

To my dear Anim, thank you for always being there for me & for ALWAYS believing in me & my goodies :-) Big hugs to you dear! ✗o✗o

Lots of love & my forever thanks to YOU, my goodies lovers! ✗o✗o
