Ralph Lauren Polo Party

Hi Everyone

Finally, It happened and I am able to share the cakes and desserts I created for my beloved children that I have been mentioning in the previous posts. We celebrated Miss Ellie's very first birthday and Jeremy's third birthday this past weekend with a Ralph Lauren Polo theme.

I bought some horseman cutters and the stencil from JB Cookie Cutters and the Cake Stamp by Etty Dash to create all the toppers and treats. The printable came from Etsy.com and I used my "Scan N Cut" to create all the labels. I have to say that it was a hectic week to make all the cakes and treats and months of planning and making the whole thing happened for a few hours (due to the hot weather, we have to cut it from our normal three hours to 2 hours).

Cakes & Treats highlights to look out for (It's such a big party and so many details, I will only mention the edible parts here. If you are interested in the printable and decorations, they will be on 巧比工作坊's blog. Whatever happened on the party, it will be via 巧比生活坊):

1. Jeremy's T-Shirt Cake: It's a Chocolate Mississippi Cake filled with dark chocolate ganache.

2. Ellie's Onesie Cake: It's a Caramel Mud Cake filled with dark chocolate ganache.

3. Two tiered Polo Club Cake: This is a dummy cake to connect both children's party into one.

4. Ellie's Smash Cake: This is a Vanilla Cake filled with chocolate ganache and her first taste of chocolate. Lucky I didn't fill it with buttercream because it was such a hot day and we were kinda of in the outdoor area so all chocolate did not set properly and pure chocolate treat even melted.

5. Macaroons: I have two flavours i.e. hazelnut macarons filled with dark chocolate ganache and chocolate macarons filled with salted caramel ganache.

6. Push up Cake Pops: They are alternations of three cakes mentioned above filled with of course dark chocolate ganache and salted caramel ganache.

7. Mini Chocolate covered Oreos: They looked okay in the photo but they actually melted if you try to pick them up; so I recommend to have this treat in an air conditioned venue if it's in summer).

8. Chocolate Bar: It's from Aldi and a great party favour with a budget.

9. Jelly Beans and Rock Candy Sticks

10. Elvit Water Bottle

11. Horseman/Onesie/Polo Shirt Cookies: They are Chocolate Sugar Cookies (Jeremy loves it) and Brown Sugar Cookies.

It was really a hot day. It's the first time I picked a venue without the air conditioned and some lessons are learnt for sure. However, it was a wonderful party for my little family and great memory for us to treasure for years.

I want to thank all my friends who came to make my children's birthday such a special day. Nothing better than celebrating their birthday with so many Uncles, Aunties, Brothers and Sisters. Love and happiness are certainly flooding my little family.

There is one more cake for Jeremy's childcare birthday celebration this week. I can't wait to see my little valentine's eyes sparkle when he sees it.

Thank you for sharing my story. Talk soon!

Happy baking

Giant Cupcake Smash Cake

Hi Everyone

My daughter Miss Ellie is approaching to become a toddler next month. Following her big brother's footstep, I made this giant cupcake smash cake for her 11 month anniversary photo shoot.

Instead of making my own cake batter, I used the Green's super moist vanilla butter cake recipe since it's mainly to smash than consume it. I had about 1.5 cups for the top part using the glass bowl to create the dome shape; the rest equally distributed in the 6" round cake tins. I also tried to tint the batter with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple food colourings. I love the vibrant layers that screams for celebrations.

In term of the decorations, the bottom of the giant cupcake cake was a white chocolate case moulded by using the Big Top Giant Cupcake Pan to give it a nice and clean finish. For the top of the cupcake I used food colouring to dye the cool whip in light pink and using tip 1B to make the buttercream rose swirls.

Dearest Miss Ellie

Happy 11 months old, my sweetheart! Mummy is well prepared to throw you a fabulous FIRST birthday with our beloved family and friends. Love you to the moon and back..xx

Please feel free to contact us for a quote. They can be completely customised to your themes including colour, decoration and flavour.

Thank you for sharing this special day with us.

Happy baking

Disney Frozen Cake

Hi Everyone

Welcome to a brand new year. I am so looking forward to start my 2016 with several cakes in January for my children.

First, I need to show you my last creation in 2015. I am absolutely in love with it. This two-toned Frozen cake is completed with handmade fondant figures of Elsa and Anna on top. I like the cuteness of these two figurines.

It is decorated with some white and blue sparkling snowflakes one side; as well as some sunflowers on the other, which came from the cake in the movie. The letterings are made by using the Frozen font cutters.

Frozen seems to be the theme for so many little girl's parties this year. This cake was made for a little girl Sharon's fourth birthday celebration. They were fun and challenging to make. Hopefully I can get another chance to make it again for my nieces.

~~
Dear Sharon

Wishing a sweet girl forever happiness and fun. Happy frozen birthday!!

~~

Until then, my next creation is Ellie's cake smash cake for the pre-cake smashing photo shoot.

Happy baking

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 :)
