Dessert Table

Caramel Heaven Dessert Table

Salad Bar & Drink Station

I have celebrated my 33rd birthday with 15 beloved family and friends last night. It was a magical night. The party was last until nearly midnight from 5:30PM. It was this fun. Hubby did a good job on bringing out some good steaks, lamb chops etc.

I think a backyard barbecue is more casual by nature and allows my guests to hang out and relax. I also served three types of salad. Young guests was simply easy to please by playing my baby niece's toys and some balloons.

Here is my first dessert table. It's called "Caramel Heaven" due to its colour scheme. I have several desserts made by the super yummy Belgian Caramel Chocolate.

This year, I don’t have a theme, so a dessert table can bring a sweet touch to it. After all, what could be sweeter than sharing sweet memories together with your close family and friends?

Here is how I prepared it!

Homemade Desserts

All desserts were gone before the night ended. Every treat is a winner. There is the most asked one which was the "whoopie pie" because no one knew what it was before the party and they loved it.

Fabric: white table linen and tulle from Spotlight

Drink Station:

I am always thinking the less the better but when it comes to take the actions; it’s always the other way around. Since I have a dessert table, I guess there is no harm to have a drink station. It is small due to the numbers of the guest. According to the expert, it is to avoid congestion in one area and to keep the guests mixing.

Drink Cooler: IKEA

Well, I guess this is it. I can't wait to plan my next party. Hands up if that's you.

Happy birthday to me. :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy celebrating~

Cake Guidelines:

A simple fondant covered round/square cake without decorations and toppers:

6" - $150.00 / 7" - $160.00 / 8" - $170.00 / 9" - $180.00 / 10" - $190.00

A customised 2D novelty cake for a 6" serving size is $160.00+

A customised 3D novelty cake for a 8” serving size is $350.00+

We are very conscious of what we provide to our beloved ones. We use Callebaut Belgium Chocolate, 100% Cocoa Powder (Callebaut, Hershey’s or Dutch Processed Cocoa), Free Range Eggs, Big Brand Flours (White Wings, Gluten Free if requested), Bakels fondant and the list goes on plus hours of baking and days and weeks of decorating times etc)

We provide you with free consultation and a few quotations to suit your budget but don’t compromise the deliciousness of our products. However, we are all faced with the rising costs day by day. Now we have to charge some miscellaneous costs for the order under $150 or products needed individual packaging. We thank you for your understanding and continuously support in the near future.

Terms and Conditions:

At bakingmummy, we pride ourselves on the QUALITY of our products and services. Our aim is to provide only the FRESHEST and HIGHEST quality cakes to our customers.

It is also important to remember that cakes are a perishable and delicate product. Unfortunately once we dispatch our cakes or our customers take possession of them, a number of factors relating to the care and transportation of the cakes may result in the quality being compromised or damage occurring to the cakes that are beyond our control or responsibility.

Care instructions must be followed thoroughly in order to avoid compromising the cakes quality, freshness and design. To assist in the care of your cake we will provide tips on transportation and storage. Unfortunately, with all the possible variables, it is difficult for bakingmummy to guarantee the cake quality in every case once it has left our premises.

All cakes delivered and or picked up are deemed accepted by the purchaser in all cases.

Order Information

You can contact me for a quote or ideas or to order the cupcakes or a cake by emailing me on baking-mama@hotmail.com

I try to get back to all enquires as soon as possible as I have other commitments! Each cake is priced individually as each one is unique in its own way.

With the custom made cakes, please place your order as early as you can to avoid disappointment. At least one month prior to your event would be wonderful. If you are having the matching dessert bar; then at least two months prior to the event will be great.

In regards to ordering and due to rising costs, I'm no longer able to carry the cost of ingredients until I source all ingredients before I can email you a quote. Those who have had one of my cakes know how much time and effort I put into each cakey piece of art just for you!

Please note from 2014, I now charge the delivery fee of $10-$50 plus the parking fee depending on the location.

To ensure a booking I now require a 50% deposit up front (non-refundable), before I even start the cake and to cover most ingredients especially those that will have to be ordered in. No deposit one month prior to the event means there is no secure booking. The balance needs to be paid preferably one week before the day of completion/delivery. I am quite happy to have this done by cash and PayPal. I am sorry that no more direct deposit due to the security reason.

I look forward to creating something special just for you :)
