Louis Vuitton Damier Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

I want to share this Bucket Bag Cake (as my friend calls it) with you today. Louis Vuitton was the first designer brand caught my eyes in my 20s. I made this cake for my dearest friend, Claire's birthday. When we were in our 20s, we went to Melbourne once, we both bought a designer bag i.e. a LV bag each.

As we both love designer bags and I believe most people do, that her birthday cake this year is modelled after a current trend i.e. bucket style bag. The design includes hand-cut squares to make the checkerboard patter on it, as well as gold painted logo on the top. The final touch is the gold painted LV locket.

In term of the cake flavour this time, I chose to make a new recipe. Although chocolate and vanilla will always be classic, but this unique cake flavour will satisfy both less sweet and sweet tooth. She absolutely loved the "earl grey tea cake sandwiched with earl grey tea milk chocolate ganache and frosted with earl grey tea white chocolate ganache". She even sent me a photo after cutting the cake. You could see it's very moist and certainly very delicious.

Happy birthday, Claire! May you continue to be blessed with health, youthfulness and beauty always.

For that Louis Vuitton fanatic - the Damier style. A cake is certainly for the fashion lovers out there!

Thank you all for stopping by. There is a new project coming up for this Father's Day. Stay tuned.

Happy baking

Chanel Inspired 40th Birthday Party

Hi Cake Sweeties

What a celebratory month for me! I turned 40 in July this year. A 40^thbirthday deserves a classy and fabulous celebration. I had a Chanel Inspired birthday party with my beloved family and sisterly friends.

I did quite a bit of research on Coco Chanel for this party but I only had one month to prepare. With Chanel No.40 being the focus, the classic black and white styling has been used beautifully throughout.

Take-home favour bags were designed to resemble black Chanel shopping paper bags and were placed alongside a photo booth station for guests to fill with all the desserts to take home.

Chanel’s signature quilting has also been used throughout the party design. All of this combined provides a feeling of classic and fabulous.

Would you have thought that black and white food would look delicious? This party is proof that it does! The dessert table featured an assortment of black and white candies and sweets.

Everything on the dessert table compliments each other, from cupcakes, macarons, cookies, Oreos covered in chocolate and not forgetting the stunning quilted cake. The incorporation of the logo onto the cake is simply classic and chic.

The paper straws make the table less serious, and they add a playful element to the table design. The silver candle holders add a touch of sophistication. We chose to put the different shades of peachy roses in the perfume shaped vases. The tablecloth was black we just had to lighten it up white Chanel inspired placemats, white plates, white serviettes etc. At the end, everything has been put together beautifully right down to the final details of Chanel’s genuine ribbons, the water bottle labels and even the stunning favour bags.

I also got the venue to layer the black chair covers with black slashes.

Watch out for these little details on the dessert and drinking tables as shown below:

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 :)
