Christmas Cupcakes!

Holiday Cuppies!

Christmas Wreath

Christmas Tree with Chocolate Tree Trunk!

My snowflake :)

Finished result

Here to spreading the Christmas Joy! These are my Christmas cuppies that I made a couple of days ago for corporate order, took me forever to ice all these babies! The cream ones were my red velvet and the blue ones were my lemon cupcake with lemon glaze that I coloured blue. I know this is so last minute, but if you want orders my last day is the Eve. The weddings kept me occupied that I didn't have time to show samples earlier so my apologies! Enjoy the piccies, and happy last minute Christmas shopping!

Roses and Things All Shiny

Simplicity at it's best, and I do believe that less is more. I paired cream and pink coloured cupcakes with pink roses and silver dragees and the result is more then just enough, it's divine!
A couple we met was looking for a simple elegant feel for their wedding cupcakes, and the bride was happy with our creations. Official photos of the big day to come!

Enjoy!!!

Cute Cupcakes Serangoon Style!

These tasty treats were made over the weekend, and for one of the prettiest brides I've ever seen! Plus she's got a good heart to match and just adorable! She wanted to work with pink and purple colours, so I gave her this combo of pink marble swirls (vanilla frosting on lemon cake), purple coloured frosting with pink roses (tiramisu cake with cream cheese) and chocolate frosting with edible pink dragees. Interestingly enough, this lovely bride picked a non traditional flavour of chocolate cupcake with chilli chocolate frosting! I was inspired by how Mexicans drink their hot chocolate with a lil chilli powder, hence my creation. It was funny to see people's faces taking a bite, and then realising the heat! hehehe But it's not so much a hot taste, just a slow release of warmth that makes your insides tumble and feel good. Not dangerous la, trust me. ;)

Corporate Cupcakes - Part 2!

The finished product!

Beforehand, the long and arduous process...

We did it! We finally did it! I tell you my sis and both spent a long and sleepless night to get all these corporate cupcakes done. There was a day for 36 hours that we didn't get shut eye! Lots of prayers were said before taking on this mammoth task but we feel so relieved that we completed it, and also happy we managed to finish a challenge. The company wanted 600 cupcakes, filled into a 3 cupcake peeptop box and finished off with a silver ribbon. By the way, the box was designed by my friend at www.blacksubmarine.com. The baking part was ok, it was the packing of cupcakes and also cutting out the marzipan circles, which was specially made for this order. We hope their clients enjoyed our treats, after much hard work and love poured into this project! Looking forward to our next huuuuugggggeee challenge. ;)

Lollipop Wedding! @ Goodwood Park Hotel

This was one of the more creative couples I know when it came to cupcakes! ;) They wanted a lollipop theme centred around black and red coloured cupcakes (the colour looked orange under the harsh light) but it was definitely red under normal light. And the groom's dad made the stainless steel tier especially for their day, which is so sweet of him! The top tier was made to the exact measurement of their wedding topper which they had made in Taiwan, quite cute right? You just pass your photos to the guy and he makes them in your image hehehehe Red velvet cake was the flavour, with alternate cream cheese frosting and chocolate buttercream. The smell was so divine when setting up that I was tempted to steal on for myself! Lollipops and candy jars were kindly provided by the couple. And to finish, they wanted it packed up in the clear boxes we provided, but the stickers they made themselves. Overall effect, "hen ke ai"!

"Dream a Little Dream" Wedding @ Grand Hyatt

Dream a little dream of me....da dad dum da da da... Haha ok I'm not the greatest singer but this was the theme of the wedding. The bride wanted a blue and yellow concept for the cupcakes, which was also the overal colour theme of their wedding. It's quite a pretty effect, and I handmade all the sugar flowers and butterflies with royal icing. Took some time and they're not as polished as the ones you buy in shops but it gave the right look. Found out something though, never leave them under a spotlight, as I discovered that day when my blue flowers slightly melted on to the yellow icing. :( They still looked ok nevertheless! We decorated the tier tower with white and pink eustomas, kindly provided by Fleurlicious (http://www.fleurlicious.com/) and sprinkled the table with blue crystals. I'm waiting on official photos to come through so will get that up hopefully soon. Keep dreaming of these beauties.... ;)

More Bridal Treats

I met with one of the prettiest brides last week so she could taste these cupcakes. My friends from Fleurlicious recommended me to her so we arranged to meet at their office. I'll be doing her wedding this weekend so will load up the photos from that right after. :)

Corporate Cupcakes - Part 1!

Corporate client found me online and asked me if I could do up some samples for them as they're looking to hand them out to clients as Christmas gifts. This is their company logo that I decided to ice on, I said a prayer many times beforehand! They turned out pretty alright, but the client decided they prefer a marzipan circle with the logo printed on. And guess what? I gotta bake 600 cupcakes in the next few days for them! muahahahahah Will keep you posted with pictures very soon...

Pastel Variety, Bridal Style!

These pastel treats were made for tasting session. Did take me a while to get the colours and combinations right, and they turned out better then I expected. The bride originally wanted all the designs, but she changed her mind at the last minute and wanted the designs exactly like the ones in the post titled "The Sweetest Treats". Official photos from that to come soon!

"Glitter" Theme 25th Wedding Anniversary @ Glass Bar

Hi again cupcake lovers! Sorry I haven't blogged for a week or so as it's been crazy busy with weddings! Only got 4 hours sleeps over 2 nights on the weekend, but it was worth it. :) So I'm gonna be uploading a few entries today. I did these "Glitter" cupcakes for a 25th Wedding Anniversary a week and half ago. The lovely couple also invited my sister and I to join in for their dinner, which was very sweet of them. Food was great and so was the company. Made a mixture of my red velvet, chocolate, tiramisu and lemon flavours and topped it with edible silver dragees. Yum yum's! Here's to 25 more more years to J & A!
