Guo Da Li Again!
Hiiiii Cake in a Cuppers! I know it's been sooooo long since my last entry. So much has happened in such little time. From my last posting, I mentioned I was moving house and let me tell you, trying to bake orders and move house at the same time is quite exhausting! But I managed, and I'm all fully moved into my new place which I'm so happy about. Everything is unpacked and done up like a home.
These cupcakes were the first I made when I moved in during the first week. Hardly anything was unpacked yet, so I was digging through boxes to unload my baking stuff first. Trying to get momentum with the new environment which I've finally figured out. This client ordered 12 boxes or so of these cupcakes to pass to her relatives for her Guo Da Li. She ordered Tiramisu, Red Velvet and Vanilla Cupcakes and just wanted something simple and colourful.
By the way with other news, I've started working a full time job during the week so if I reply to your emails a little slower then usual, my apologies for that. But cupcakes are still my greatest passion so I'm devoting my weekends to them! And the odd time at night to reply all your emails. Promise will keep track of my blogging more often!

Lunchtime Cupcake Wedding!
These pastel shade of cupcakes were for a wedding at UOB plaza on the 60th floor at a Sichuan Chinese restaurant. The view was to die for, but getting up there and taking all the cupcakes was a logistical nightmare haha! Thank god the bride asked some of her friends to come downstairs and help me, as we had to take one escalator up and change two lifts before we got to the venue.
But back to cupcakes, so this couple came to me early in the year around January or February and made the intention to order back then. They chose red velvet, vanilla cupcakes with strawberry and chocolate buttercream, and a Choco Nutter small cake which is my chocolate cake with choc chips and finished with a peanut butter frosting. Yum! You could smell it from far away! I dressed the cake and cupcakes with royal icing flowers and butterflies.
Time to get back to my moving, I hope to put more cupcake pics next week. Btw, congrats Seeping and Stephen!

Green Butterfly Effect!
These cupcakes were one of the most intricate I've done in a year of my little cupcake business. The bride gave me a photo of what she wanted, the colour and I set to work. I had to prepare the fondant circles and butterflies a few days in advance so they could dry and set on time, and I used royal icing to ice the white swirls and little white flowers. There were only 50 to make but it took time because of the details involved. Then I packaged the cupcakes into my clear square boxes, and the couple provided the ribbons and sticker tags.
I also made a cake for them in the same flavour as the cupcakes, which was a vanilla base with vanilla buttercream and I dressed the cake in some royal icing flowers and fondant butterflies dusted with edible gold dust. I bought my small cake tier just for this occasion, and hopefully for more in the future! The reception was at a restaurant in Boat Quay, thank God my mother could find parking on Circular Road and we walked from there which wasn't too bad. The set up inside was lovely too. Congrats Carol and Pol!

Pink & White Church Wedding!
Talk about a crazy cupcake weekend! I had 4 weddings to bake for, plus take care of house moving stuff and attend a couple of F1 parties, I tell you it was insane! My sleep pattern was for a few hours each night, as the cupcakes last weekend were quite a lot to prepare for. But ah the results are always worth it!
I made these pink and white themed cupcakes for a Saturday morning church wedding. They chose red velvet cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes with strawberry buttercream. I cut out 6 petal fondant pink flowers to top the red velvets, but they started to soften a bit when I set them up in the church. The room was quite warm then as well. But the result was a soft and pretty look. Congrats Dinah and Roland!
