Sexy & Contemporary

These sexy babies were made for a client tasting session, as she wanted something contemporary and no frills for her wedding. So I came up with this design incorporating whole strawberries and raspberries, which gives it a modern look. Made my red velvet and choc raspberry flavours, which completely complemented the whole feel of the cupcakes. They look pretty succulent huh? ;)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It was my daddy's birthday last weekend, and I made these simple chocolate cupcakes with mocha frosting for his birthday "cake". Nonetheless he was happy and so were the rest of us, so here's to you dad!

Pretty Pretty Cupcakes!

Last weekend, I had my first wedding cupcake tasting session. So you can imagine how kan cheong I was to impress! Therefore a Friday night was spent coming up with these pretty creations, it was thoroughly fun experimenting with colours and sugar decorations. I have to say it was worth the time as the brides loved it! Enjoy feasting your eyes on these rainbow delights.

Happy Moon Festival!

Cuppies in the oven!

It's edible lil hearts on top, but from this angle it looks like "puckered lips!"

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

I went back to Klee last weekend for a family/friends Moon Festival gathering. Instead of bringing mooncakes, I brought these lovelies instead. By that point, I was already mooncaked out!

Cupcakes @ Klee!

My beautiful "babies"!

Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Raspberry Ganache. That's Vegie, who is a vegetarian. Nuff said!

Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting. Hello Pauline! ;)

My good friend Ken and owner of Klee ask my sis and me to take part in a charity raising day for his bar. And not just to sit and enjoy the drinks, but to make them as well! Therefore, both of us needed a crash course in bartending few days before the event. I must say we are quite the amateur experts now! But also for the event, I was asked to make some cupcakes to sell towards the charity. So I brought Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting and Dark Chocolate with Chocolate Raspberry Ganache. They did pretty well I must say!

I even received a compliment that my cupcakes taste better then Magnolia Bakery in New York! For those who don't know, it's the cupcakery that Sex and the City made famous on the show. I even had a lady say my cupcakes were the best she ever had. I was quite amazed by the compliments, not to say I'm tooting my own horn or begging the question, but it makes me real happy and continues to give me more passion for my love of cupcakes. Here's to more!

Happy Feast Day!

It was madness and mayhem during the first weekend of August! My patron church St Mary of the Angels at Bukit Batok were having a feast day and me being part of RCIA, got roped in to bake cupcakes for the occasion. Friday night was spent making a ton of frosting, and whole of Saturday was spent baking about 200 cupcakes, my first big baking feat. Thank God I had my RCIA group helping out the whole day. The cooking congregation was decided weeks earlier to be held at my humble abode. You should have seen the amount of ingredients, it was insane! and the inside of my kitchen was a pile of mess but worth the pain! Made good ol simple vanilla on vanilla cupcakes and chocolate on chocolate cupcakes, topped with many pretty sprinkly bits! All the cupcakes sold out within 3 hours and all the proceeds went to the church fund. Hallelujah!

Cupcakes with Southern Flair!

I had a message from a friend on facebook a few weeks asking me for a recipe for Red Velvet Cupcakes. Since I had never tried it before, I did a lil bit of poking around on the internet for a good recipe and tweaked it to my own way. Didn't want to give her something that I just found online without test driving it first. I have to say, they came out divine! For those of you who don't know, the Red Velvet cake is mostly a Southern American recipe and very popular in the midwest. It's characterised by its rich red colour, but the base is basically a simple chocolate enhanced by red food colouring. It is normally paired with a cream cheese frosting, and the marrying of these two factors really make a cupcake that is to die for!
