Ella's birthday cake

September 2010: A cake for a pretty girl's third birthday. She has the most beautiful blue eyes. She likes cats. She loves tutus and all that ballerina stuff.

The cat in the making:

And, here she is. All done up... with her pretty tutu:

The cake is vanilla-flavoured, filled and frosted with vanilla-lemon buttercream, fondant-finished, gumpaste decors.

And, we also made a dozen tutu cupcakes to go with the cake (",)

Happy birthday, Ella!

Hawaiian-themed birthday cake

August 2010: Here's a birthday cake for a lady... from Hawaii. That's why it's Hawaiian-themed. Hehe!

The cake is pineapple pound cake with french buttercream frosting and filling; fondant-finished.

We were quite happy with how the buttercream waves turned out! ;p ...not so happy with our frangipani though. :'( But, we shall learn, and we will get better!

And, here's a close up of the fondant coconut tree:

Kit's baby sprinkle cake topper

May 2010: Because we organised the baby sprinkle, we didn't have enough time to make a cake. :'( A friend offered to buy a dark chocolate mudcake at the local Cheesecake shop. (",) To personalise it a bit, we made a baby rattle and keys cake topper.

And, here are the decors... just wanted to show you that the cake topper matched the colour motifs. ;p

Mother's day Cake no.2: Carrot cake

May 2010: Two cakes for a colleague's Mother's Day special at their church. We were so happy for the opportunity to bake for this lady. She gives us bulghogi and kimchi all the time. So nyummm!!! ;p

[For the first cake, please click here.]

For the second cake... Well, we had no idea what to make. We found a bag of carrots in the fridge. So, carrot cake it is! Gumpaste carrots were then made, just like so...

Yum moist carrot cake (cinnamon, nutmeg, n'ol) with cream cheese icing and carrot gumpaste topper.

It's a strawberry yoghurt pound cake, frosted and filled with Italian meringue buttercream, fondant finished, gumpaste decorations.

The inspiration for the colours came from vivid images of traditional hanbok such as these ones seen on WeddingInspirasi. So playful in colour, you cannot help but get happy!

[For the third cake, you're on the right page, read on.] ;p

Birthday girl 3: 7 yo; likes the colour blue, asked for a Barbie cake. We said, "okay, a Barbie cake it is, but only if the barbie has the same hair colour as you." Her eyes twinkled, "Ooh! Then you'll like Fula!"

Meet Fula. The Barbie from Kuwait. She has such straight long black hair. So long, it was leaving prick marks on the fondant bustier. I asked the birthday girl if I could cut Fula's hair a little bit. "It's okay, Tita (Aunty)... it will grow back anyway," she said with a smile. Well, I wasn't about to argue that!

It's a vanilla pound cake baked in a dolly vardem which we'd rented from a baking supplies shop the day before. So worth it! Saved us a whole heap of stress.

Here are the princesses with their cakes on their special day:

Lastly, we leave you with this photo... an image which reminded us of our own childhood - colourful!

Monica's whimsical garden birthday cake

Birthday girl 2: 12 yo; chose the colour green, likes flowers and gardens!

The cake is a mixed berry yoghurt pound cake with french buttercream filling/frosting. Decorations are fondant, gumpaste, and a little buttercream. We were thinking, "Alice in Wonderland"... you feellin' it?

We think it suits her personality very well. She is as sweet a girl as can be! Just like the flowers on her cake. This cake was a whole lot of fun to make!
