Little Treasure

Remember in my previous posts how devastated I was when my laptop went kaput & 'swallowed up' all my goodies photo albums? Yes, I'm still very sore about it as those goodies photos of mine means the world to me. It's basically a 'portfolio' of my work throughout my cake making journey. It's truly unfortunate that despite all my efforts, I never did managed to recover those photos of mine :-(

Imagine then my sheer delight when somehow, while scrolling through my Facebook, I saw this cake photo which I did a while back! And yes, it's one of the photos that was 'deleted' by my kaput laptop before!

I'm not taking any more risk of losing yet another photo ( which to me is like little treasures ) so I decided to upload the photo here & blog about this cake. Plus, I never did get the chance to post it before as my laptop went kaput, along with all the original photos :-P As the saying goes, better late than never, right? ;-)

Too bad I only found one photo of the cake...But I guess it will suffice. Better to have one photo to treasure, than none at all! ;-) Any way, this cake was requested by dear Ms. Farhani. If I remember correctly, it was a gift that she wish to present to her dear friend in celebrating her friend's wedding day. It was to be a part of the wedding dowry :-)

Farhani's request was for a Fudge Cake With Vanilla Buttercream Frosting & that the cake to be striking pink. According to her, her friend loveeeeeeeeeeees striking pink :-) Here's the cake that I especially design for her friend...

Striking Pink Themed Wedding/Dowry Cake

To my dear Farhani, I know this post is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue. My sincere apology dear as I wasn't able to blog about it before due to the obvious issue of all my photos went missing :-( Couldn't blog about your cake if I have no cake photo/s to show, rite? :-P But here I am blogging about it now ;-) I would like to take this opportunity to convey my sincere thanks for giving me the chance to create your special gift to your friend. Thanks so much for your continuous support my dear. It means the world to me! ✗o✗o

Hhmmm...Though the chances seemed so slim, I do hope that I'll be able to find more of my little treasure photos soon ;-)

Till next time, much love to all! ✗o✗o

Frilly Cake Try Out

A confession...I'm a super crazy gal when it comes to cake stuffs :-P I honestly go crazy when I see all those cake items, be it at any of my local cake supply stores or those online cake sites! You might say that I'm a cake-stuffs-shopaholic ( though my hubby says I'm more of a cake-stuffs-hoarder! ). Either way, I'm super guilty! :-P

How does one control one self when one sees all those wonderful cake items that can miraculously turn a plain looking cake into one of those fancy looking ones?!! I for one, just can't help it! Plus, I super need all the fancy cake items to 'beautify' my oh-so-plain-looking cakes :-P

My cake room ( it's actually a store room, but I want the room to sound fancy, so bear with me...he..he.. ) is already overflowing with various kinds of cake stuffs - lace moulds, cutters, cake pans of all sizes, stencils, tappits, you name it! So much so that hubby dearie has lovingly warn me that there can never be any more cake stuffs purchases UNLESS I start using some of it. Oh ya! Did I mention that I haven't even use half of my cake stuffs yet? Hence the 'warning' from hubby dearie :-P

Here's when my 'raid-the-store-room-and-better-start-using-the-unused-cake-stuffs' project started! In order to make sure I'll be able to continue with my 'cake-stuffs-craziness', I'm slowly taking out my 'toys' & having a go with it. To be honest, I didn't use most of the cake stuffs that I've bought because I actually am 'scared' to use it! In case you don't know, I got into this cake making business without any knowledge or experience on cake decoration/making *blush* Just slowly trotting through this journey based solely on my passion & my crazy 'play dough sessions' :-P

One of the cake toys that have been 'hidden' in my cake room is a set of frill piping tubes set. Now, the reason I haven't use this is because I'm not confident with my piping skills. Heck! I barely can make a full straight line with my plain No. 1 piping tube! So you can imagine how using a frill piping tube scares the living light out of me :-P

So when a dear sweet friend called me up to request a birthday cake to celebrate a double birthday - her's & her little princess's, the first thing that came to my mind was a frill cake. What better decoration to suit such sweet ladies other than something frilly & girly, right? ;-) Perfect excuse for me to use the frill piping tube!

After much sketches on my drawing pad ( yes, I'm old school & I still do my cake sketches on papers...he..he.. ), I finally decided on a cake design for dear Tunku Muna & cutie pie Princess Wan Zanariah :-)

To my dear Tunku Muna, I am truly humbled to be given a chance to bake & create both yours & Puteri's cake. Nothing beats the joy & happiness that I feel from being able to make goodies for my loved ones. For this, I THANK YOU, Tunku Muna ✗o✗o

I guess that's one cake stuffs tried & used! :-P Maybe I do need to practice more in order to improve my piping skills *chuckles*

Well, that's it for today's post...Now excuse me while I do some 'treasure hunt' & see what other cake stuffs 'hidden' in my store room that I can use for my next project ;-)

Toddle-loo & much love to all! ♡♡♡

A Cake For That Special Someone

Hello there goodies lovers!

As one might have noticed, I've been absent from blogging for quite some time :-P And yes, I've been receiving some inquiries and even some complaints ( my bad! ) on why I have been away too long :-P Sincerest apology for the longggggg hiatus my dears. Yours truly have been quite tight up rushing out orders & attending to the never ending tasks of living *sigh*

Any ways, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyy behind on my post, so in order for me to catch up to my recent goodies post, I think I will have to resort to a 'quickie' or maybe I should call it a 'drive-by' kind of post for my coming blog's post ;-) Hoping by doing this I will be able to clear my 'draft box', which is sadly collecting dust :-P

So here goes my first 'drive-by' post...

This Red Velvet Cake was ordered by dear Miss Yaya to celebrate her special someone's birthday :-) Yaya especially requested for a simple deco kind of cake & here's what I came up with ;-)

Ahemmm...Please do pardon my not so fancy photos ya :-P I had to make do with these two photos as my photo master folder has been 'swallowed up' by my laptop, which crashed some time ago :-( 

Red Velvet Cake

Yaya my dear, my sincerest of thanks to you for choosing my goodies to grace your special occasion. I know this post is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue & I truly apologize for this *bad...bad girl I am!* Much love to you dear ✗o✗o 

Till my next 'drive-by' post, toodle-loo my dearies! Yours truly need to go bake & settle some M&M's Chocolate Chips Cookies orders! Much love always! ✗o✗o

A Mom's Love

I managed to grab some free time today & decided to use the time to update my blog. So here I am! Yeayyyy! :-) Now, what shall I blog about today? Hhhmmm...Oh! Now I remember! Today's post will be about a cake that has a special place in my heart...

Now, before I yap away, please bear in mind that this was not one of my recent cake but it was actually made for an order some time ago. The reason that I only get to post about it now is that I finally found a few ( yes, just a few - two to be exact! ) photos of it. In case you've missed out my earlier blog's posts, my laptop went kaput & together with it was ALL my photo albums, including all my goodies photos :-( I'm still upset about it but tried as I might, I'm just not able to retrieve any of it :-( I'm just lucky to stumble upon a few of my goodies photos in some of my folders that I managed to 'revive' :-P

Through-out my baking journey, I've baked & made quite a few cakes. Each & every one of my cake has a special place in my heart...yet this cake remain as one of my favorite. It remain as one of my favorite not because of it's design or the process that I went through creating it but because of the person that ordered it - Ms. Dayang. 

From the moment I received the call from Dayang, I could feel the excitement in her voice :-) So much so that till date, I still can remember each step of our discussion. Dayang called to inquire about a cake that she wish to have for her son's, Khalis Haikal, birthday. 

And here is what I remember most about Dayang - her love for her son. From start & throughout each of our discussion, I could feel the love emitting from Dayang. It's really hard to explain but that is exactly what I feel each time Dayang speaks of her son & the cake that she has in mind :-) Dayang explained that her son has a favorite teddy bear & wanted me to incorporate it into the cake. She even took the trouble to snap the teddy bear's photo & sent it to me as reference :-)

The love she has for her son really touched me & I was determined to do the best that I could. Do bear in mind that at this moment of time, I totally have no idea on how to make or create a figurine! 

The day of delivery finally came & imagine my relief when I met Dayang :-) She practically had the biggest of smile on her face upon seeing her son's cake :-) Really, just looking at her face makes it all worth while. Dayang, thank you so much for choosing my goodies to grace your son's birthday. It was indeed a pleasure baking it for you...but most of all, it was a pleasure to meet such a loving mom like you. The love you have for your son really touched me & I was so inspired by it. Nothing is more priceless than a mom's love & you've definitely proven that :-)

'Just Married' Cupcakes

It is always a big thing to me when someone chooses my goodies to be a part of their special occasion, more so when it's for a momentous event like their wedding day. A huge honor indeed for lil baker me :-) 

Made these 'Just Married' cupcakes as requested by Ms. Zati :-) Zati requested for Carrot Walnut & Lemon Cream Cheese cupcakes with some pink/purple color theme & I was more than happy to bake it for her. I've always have a soft spot for anything romantic like weddings, so you can imagine my excitement baking these goodies ;-)

Pink & Purple Theme 'Just Married' Cupcakes

My sincere thank you to Zati for choosing my goodies & for giving me the chance to be a part of her wedding day :-) I hope you & your hubby enjoyed the cupcakes ;-) A big congratulations to you, Nani & Arif :-) May both of you be blessed with lots of love & happiness always :-)

Something Simple

Orange Poppy Seed Cupcakes

With Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Hhhmmm....I really don't have much to 'talk' about this cupcake order because:-

1. I've lost ALL the photos in my hard-drive, which included these goodies :'( I'm just lucky to have found this one photo in my Facebook Page album to serve as your 'eye-candy' :-P

2. I don't see the point of 'talking' much when there's no photo to feast your eyes on...A post with no photos is one boring post! Don't you agree?

All I can say for this post is that these goodies were ordered by dear Miss Yong, not her real name but it's a name that I've grown accustomed to calling her :-) The word 'Yong' actually means 'big sister' in some northern part of Malaysia. He..he..Did I just managed to insert some language tutorial here? *chuckles*

Any way, Yong's order was for 50 pieces of Orange Poppy Seed Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting. She requested for a simple deco as it's for her family's gathering dessert pleasure :-)

It's always a pleasure baking for Yong & as always, I've enjoyed baking these goodies :-) Thank you Yong for your order & most of all, for your love & support :-) Hugs!

Well, I guess that's it for my very short post :-P Till next time, have a great day all! ✗o✗o
