Christmas Swiss Roll Gift Set

Hi Cake Sweeties,

Christmas Swiss Roll is coming to town. I made three flavours with matching whipped cream fillings for the annual Christmas gift at North Shore Development & Coaching Centre 2018.

First flavour was Original Swiss Roll with Strawberry Jam and Whipped Cream. 

Second flavour was Chocolate Swiss Roll with Chocolate Whipped Cream and Oreo Crumbs.

Last flavour was White Coffee Swiss Roll with White Coffee Whipped Cream. 

Each roll was only decorated with food iron stamp.

Wishing you a happy holiday season and thanks for all your support throughout the year. Have a blissful Christmas!

The notebook and a boy/girl holding a board can read 'Thank you' or 'Good luck' and a name can be added.

Daddy Shark Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

Is anyone familiar with the catchy and upbeat “Baby Shark” song? Now we have a cake version with super cute sugar handcrafted designs and underwater elements. A Mummy friend from Jeremy’s school asked if I could make her Manager a birthday cake, the manager’s nickname is Daddy Shark, hence the Daddy Shark topper. The shape of the cake is a letter J, which is the company logo. 

Cake was our red velvet (using organic beetroot powder as the colouring agent) frosted with cream cheese white chocolate ganache and covered in white Belgium chocolate ganache then decorated with fondant. 

~~

Happy birthday to Jessie's big boss aka Daddy Shark of Hotel Jen Brisbane! Enjoy the cake and hope this made you smile.

~~

They are a few things I am working on this month for Christmas (something different this year) and for my children's teachers. I cannot wait to show you both projects.

Until then, stay tuned and I will see you soon.

🎃 Halloween Pumpkin Pie Spice Cookies 👻

Boo, Cake Sweeties

My little valentine and little sunshine are ready to go trick or treat. 🍬🍭🍫

This year, I made them some "pumpkin pie spice sugar cookies" as we don't have our annual Halloween family party due to the limited space at home. This wouldn't stop them for having some lovely treats made by Mama. They finished two sets of these cookies in two days. This treat did the trick. 👻 

~~

Let the goosebumps spread and the hairs stand up on Halloween, and let the candy fill your dreams.

~~

See you soon next time. 

Happy baking,

Peppa Pig Birthday Party

Hi Cake Sweeties

This adorable Peppa Pig Sweet Cart 2^ndBirthday Party was planned by Little Rocket - Brisbane. 

Such a sweet dessert table with the life-size candy cart cut-out, Peppa Pig and her family cut-out to showcase the cake and matching treats which made the celebration more real and fun. 

The cake was a cookies and cream cake covered in chocolate ganahce and Swiss chocolate sprinkles; and the 3D figurines were hand crafted to match the invitation. 

I had the customised Peppa, George and Dinosaur Brown Sugare Cookies, which everyone loved so much. I also made two different flavours and styles cupcakes. The six cute little edible friends of Peppa in 3D form (peppermint chocolate) sat on the grass and got everyone’s oohs and ahs! The 12 were 2D of Peppa Pig (classic vanilla). 

Cici, the owner of Little Rocket also set-up the children’s table. She catered for all the children so they all had their own organic Peppa Pig plates, cutleries, snack packs filled with delicious snacks and an apple juice popper each. Each child took home a heart filled with so much Peppa Pig goodies.

The children were entertained by a big Peppa Pig jumping castle and customised photo booth.

Dear Chelsea

You are the sweetest melody of your parent’s life. Happy 2^ndBirthday, sweetheart.

Thank you for stopping by. I have something magical coming next. Stay tuned!

The Incredible Hulk Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

My friend wanted a Hulk cake for her little brother’s 30^thbirthday party to feed like 30+ people.

In planning the cake, I wanted to capture Hulk in a smash pose, for this, we had a 6” tall action figure of the Incredible Hulk himself on the top. 

The top that decorated with embossed brick pattern was my moist red velvet cake, with cream cheese white chocolate ganache in between layers and covered by white chocolate ganache. 

The bottom tier that decorated with city skyline and the handcrafted Hulk font for the recipient’s name was our ultimate dark chocolate mudcake, with dark chocolate ganache and chocolate sprinkles, then covered in our milk chocolate ganache. They all worked very well with each other to show the Hulk himself as a creator of destruction with his rage.

~~

Dear Allan

30 is as good as any age – if not more so – to start making your dreams come true! Have a great 30^thbirthday! Here’s hoping it’s the start of something really big!

~~

After two superhero cakes, we have something girly and cute coming soon. 

Thank you for coming again. See you soon. 

Happy baking,

Superhero Combo Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

A friend from Facebook asked if I would make a cake for her son's birthday party a couple of weeks ago. 

I was told that he likes all superheroes, hence this all-In-One Superheroes birthday cake incorporating Captain America Figurine, logos of Spider Man, Hulk, Thor and Batman.

The cake was our ultimate chocolate mud cake with milk chocolate ganache and chocolate sprinkles.

Dear Liam

Wishing you a super awesome 6th birthday 🤟🏻

Lego Inspired Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

Today I bring you a cake for people of all ages…Lego-Inspired that is! 

The cake design came from “The Sweet Design”. In the beginning, I considered moulding Lego bricks using a silicone mould and coloured chocolate melts or fondant to get perfectly uniform bricks, but with the thickness of the bricks, I realised that the cake would be too difficult to cut.  

I settled with cutting out many different colours rectangles as bricks to stick on four sides first. When that’s all done, started cutting out tiny circles using a straw, then arrange the tiny circles to look like Lego on top of the cake. 

I made two major toppers a week ahead of baking the cake, which were the number 7 and the nameplate. I used the Lego Font to type out the number and name first as a template or guidance to cut out on the gumpaste.

The cake itself was carrot cake sandwiched with cream cheese white chocolate ganache and covered with white chocolate ganache. The flavour birthday mum loves so much.

~~

Dear Lucas

Happy birthday. We wish you always to keep your contagious smile on the face, to be happy and healthy! Enjoy your day and the cake.

~~

Thank you all for sharing this journey with us. See you soon.
