Valentine Chiffon Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties, 

Love is in the air!! Kids and I made this pink ombre (not shown too much) striped heart chiffon cake for Paul.

The chiffon cake is dual-flavoured, starting from vanilla (cream-colour) and ending with strawberry jam on the other end (pink-red).

I then paired with some decorated sugared cookies boxes (cookies that are stacked to hide more sweet surprises inside). 

💑💑💑💑💑💑

Dear Mr Huang and Daddy Paul 

How are you doing today, our big love? We hope all goes well. Know that you are cherished by our little ones and me. 

Love,

Wifey and Kids 👩‍👧‍👦

Magical Mermaid Cake

Hi Cake Sweeties

Giving my little sunshine mermaid kisses and starfish wishes with a mermaid gift that tastes as good as it looks! This enchanting cake features a true under the sea adventure complete with shimmering starfish, sea horse, sea turtles, lobsters and mermaid cookies, sure to make a splash at the “shellebration”.

“Less is more”. I only needed a small cake so I kept the details to a minimum and only used a couple of colors and edible toppers but overall– the effect was a precious little cake. 

Mermaid theme cake and shell cookies with a number 4 are eggless and nuts free.

To my Sweetheart

I remember hearing your heart beat for the first time, and feeling you move and kick while still in my belly. From those first moments, until eternity, you would always be my baby. Being your mother definitely brings more happiness than I know what to do with, and I don't know what I'd do without you. Happy birthday, baby. I love you so much.

You are the sunshine of my life, I am thankful for GOD's grace.

Wish you a very Happy 4th birthday.

I cannot wait to share something out of my comfort zone soon. Stay tuned!

Disney Tsum Tsum Mini Cupcakes

Hi Cake Sweeties

My Little Mister is no longer little. He is officially a 6 years old today effectively this morning. I had tears in my eyes while dropping him off to school but I am sure he will have a great day celebrating with his classmates and teachers. 

New Recipe Alert: Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream

Cupcakes toppers are created by edible printing image support with Jeremy’s request for the vanilla sugared cookies.

💋💋

Dear Little Mister J: Your growth is slow but steady and I’m OK with it, as long as you become a good person. Happy 6th Birthday my dear. Enjoy your special day. See you soon

Thank you Miss Neale for allowing this celebration to take place on Little Mister's actual birth day. 

Happy baking,

Chinese New Year 2019

Hi Cake Sweeties,

🐷Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year🐷

It’s been a crazily busy week with my little ones’ birthdays one after another. In between, we have Chinese New Year to celebrate. I think they are old enough to know about our family roots and cultural (Such a blessing we live in the multi-cultural country and my little ones can learn and know about it at school and childcare). 

I prepared some homemade Chinese New Year cookies and macarons for my little ones. This is my first time making Chinese New Year treats since I started my little baking adventure. I have a few things I want to try and make but because its so close to my little girl’s birthday, I decided to keep it simple and stick with these set to honour "the year of the pig".

I supposed to serve the cookie with Chinese character “blessing” upside down since the character for “upside down” in Chinese sounds the same as the character for “arrival”. An upside down blessing implies blessing has arrived! Cool huh! At the moment, I want to introduce my children with proper Chinese character first.

祝福我們這一家最親愛的家人朋友們

諸事吉祥; 陽春臻六順；豬歲報三多 🐽🐽🐽

Wishing you all with Happiness, Prosperity, Longevity in the Year of the Pig 🐽

Thank you all for stopping by as usual. Can't wait to show you more cakes and treats.

Marvel Tsum Tsum Party

Hi Cake Sweeties

What a Super Sunday my little family had with our beloved friends joined by our own cute and little superheros, together we celebrated my little ones' combined birthday. 

I made a few superhero cakes only for little and big boys last year. This time, it was my little ones’ combined birthday party. It reflected on the cake design and colour palates for my boy and my girl. You can see pink for little sunshine and blue for little valentine.

In the meantime, instead of making the original characters, I turned them into Tsum Tsum version (Tsum Tsum is the name for a range of Japanese collectible stuffed toys. The name is derived from the Japanese verb tsumu meaning “to stack”, because the rectangle or oval-shaped toys are designed to stack on top of each other, forming a pyramid shape).

The cake was completed with five handmade Marvel Tsum Tsum fondant figurines i.e. Captain America, Hulk, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and Black Widow on the top. Top tier was vanilla and chocolate swirl cake and bottom tier was sugar-free chocolate and vanilla cake. 

I kept things very simple this year with only two matching treats. First one was the vanilla sugared cookie topped with a thin fondant and decorated with the edible image. Second one was macaron push-up pop. However, I did four flavours in total – Lemon with decorated buttercream and lemon curd / Strawberry with decorated buttercream and strawberry jam / Vanilla with salted caramel chocolate ganache and last one was chocolate with dark chocolate ganache; which I served on the table.

Dear Little Valentine and Little Sunshine

Every time you two smile at me, you always make me a proud parent with your blessings. Now I hope I can make you feel proud children with mine. 

Happy birthday, Little Mister and Little Miss! I can’t tell you enough every single day…I love you both to the moon and back (although Mum is too tired after the party that I can’t wake up in the middle of the night to see the Super Moon). 

~~

Thank you everyone for making Jeremy and Ellie’s birthday the BEST and COOLEST DAY EVER!!!

I have more to make for their celebrations at school and childcare. 

Counting our blessings and wishing you more...

Christmas Chocolate Truffle Cake

Hello, my dear and sweet cake family and friends

As 2018 comes to an end and 2019 begins, I take this opportunity to thank everyone I have had the pleasure to work with in the last year. It has been a magical cake year where I can truly say I have enjoyed making every cake, meeting everyone (old and new cake friends). Thank you for stopping by my blog, Group on Facebook, Pinterest and WeChat; for leaving me some kind words, to support a hobby of a stay-at home Mum, it means the world to me and my little family. 

Here's the last cake I made in 2018. This Christmas Cake is a delicious twist on a holiday classic. A rich Chocolate Truffle Cake paired with a silky Belgium bittersweet chocolate and decorated with fondant on the top. This would definitely be on our menu soon.

Happy New Year to you all. Thank you again for another fantastic year! Counting our blessings and wishing you more... 

Happy baking,

Beth xo
