Mikhail's christening cake

In August, we were asked by a friend if we could make two cakes for her sons - one for Mikhail's christening, the other one for Mharcus' 6th birthday. They were having a combined celebration. Fun, right?! :) This Momma bakes and decorates cakes for friends and family, too, so we were especially surprised and flattered (if that's the right word) that she would even trust us to make the cakes (she left the design & details all up to us). Thank you, Rio (and Mark!).

Now, Mikhail's christening cake is one of the sweetest cakes we've ever made. :) You'll see...

Ain't he the sweetest baby? *sigh* 

We were told on the day of the event that hydrangeas are Rio's favourite flowers, too. Win! We love that they loved this cake! :)

Franz & Kristin's babyshower cake

Two years ago, we had the honour of making Franz & Kristin's fun Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head wedding cake. A year and a half later, we were commissioned to make their baby shower cake! :) We especially love it when we get return customers. :) 

Thank you, Franz & Kristin for your continued support!

This is the brief for the baby shower cake they had in mind: unisex colour (green, white), a cot, and a baby. They decided to "not" know whether they were having a boy or a girl.

This is the cake we came up with:

The cake is banana mud cake with white chocolate ganache frosting.

Here's a few close-up shots:

The Baby!

 Thank you for joining us in this sugary-sweet journey!

ps. The baby is now almost 5 months old... 

a very healthy and beautiful baby girl named Azariah. :)

Vintage Baby Carriage Baby Shower Cake

This is a very late post. Sorry for being slow on the posting... but promise, we are back on track :)

Janey's dear friend all the way back from high school had their baby shower late last year. On a visit to Parnell one weekend, Jane bought them a hand-made baby shower card with a pop-up dye-cast vintage baby carriage on it.

For the cake, the brief was simply to use blue. 

E voila! 

 

Congratulations, Nebrie and Andrew,

thank you for joining us on this sugary-sweet journey!

Giane's Birdcage 11th Birthday Cake

Our little cousin isn't so little anymore... She's 11! 

Giane is Nathan's (Winnie the Pooh Cake-scape) big sister. 

Her parents asked for a small and simple cake,

and that was the plan, until...

an idea struck! Then we couldn't help it.

Here are our 3 fave shots of the birdcage-themed red velvet creation:

Thank you, G, for joining us again in this sugary-sweet journey!

Kate & Jay's Ombré Ruffle Wedding Cake

 Because we are bespoke cake stylists, most of our work are original designs. 

However, it is a common practice of most aspiring cake decorators 

and hobbyists to 'take inspiration' (aka copy ideas) 

from much more experienced and innovative masters of the craft. 

We are also only learning, but our point of difference is that when we do borrow an idea,

we give credit where it's due. 

For this next number, the bride - Kate was really enamored by the simplicity 

of this Bobbette & Belle wedding cake design:

 

Kate is our Janey's old friend all the way from High School.

We are honoured to help create their dream day!

Here is our humble take on the brooch & ruffles ensemble:

The bottom tier was red vlevet cake in white chocolate ganache frosting.

The middle tier was lemon-vanilla pound cake with white choc ganache.

Th top tier was white choc mud cake with creamy milk choc ganache.

Such yummy colours!!! 

We must have stared at it for hours after assembling it, it was mesmerizing!

 

The night of the wedding, Kate texted Jane...

she said it was 'delish'! Now, to make a pretty cake - that's one thing.

To make a delicious cake - that's yet another!!!

 Happy.

Kloé-cake's Cake Smash Photoshoot

We are soooo super happy that our princess was born 

in the spring time - Sakura-season! 

Here are photos by our talented friend from Available Light Ltd

of our 1 year old photo-shoot at Cornwall Park:

The egg-free, dairy-free vanilla pound cake... was covered in butter cream (LOL)!

 

The sakura on the cake is made of rice wafer:

Our princess and her smash cake:

 Oooops!

Kloé-cake's Coffee Group Turns 1!

We have been tasked with coming up with a gender-neutral birthday cake

for Kloé-cake's coffe group party. Here is what we came up with:

Full name: Poppy-inspired hand-painted fondant-finished chocolate mud cake. 

 

A little bit of 2d/3D details here and there. Understatement is the key.

And above is the cake with the coffee group singing happy birthday to all the babies!

And now for one last look:

Tulip Painted mini-cake

We have been experimenting with hand-painting on fondant. 

This tulip-inspired number was made for Jane's fiance's mom's birthday.

Did you follow? hahah! too many apostrophes. 

So, of course we have a long way to go. We aren't exactly fine arts graduates.

But just humour us for a bit. ok? LOL

The Princess is Coming (A Baby Shower)

Once upon a time, there was a mom-to-be and a dad-to be who were gifted with a beautiful (couples) baby shower party by their family. All their closest friends and relatives came to bless them with their love and best wishes... 

But this blog really is about the gorgeous shower party decorations :) 

Starting from the hand-crafted stationery designed by Milbreé Moments (aka., Aunty Jane):

the menu-card:

name bands and a keep sake from all the guests:

to the sweet little giveaways (hot-choc drink mix in mason jars):

the 'tablescape' that's oh-so-enchanting:

... to the home-made desserts / petit fours:

  

... and fluffy pink and white marshmallows all over the place:

... to compliment the rich dark chocolate ganaché cupcakes

... and cute little decadent mini-cupcakes:

... of course, there is THE ombré-inspired frilly princess CAKE:

... with hand-crafted (by mom-to-be) crystal crown cake-topper and crystal side-accent:

... sitting all pretty on this gorgeous cupcake tower stand:

... and to put them altogether: a dessert table truly fit for a princess!

We hope you enjoyed delighting your eyes on this blog post as much as we enjoyed putting everything together. 

Thank you for joining us on this sugary-sweet journey! 

(PS. We will be a little out of action in the next couple of months 

as we await the little princess...)

Brenda's Peggy Porschen - inspired babyshower cake

We heart high-tea parties. We heart babyshowers. We heart Peggy Porschen. We heart cakes.

A friend asked us to make a cake for her sister, Brenda’s high–tea babyshower party. She particularly likes the Peggy-inspired cake we made a few months ago, so we set our hearts on re-creating it... only, it’s baby blue this time. Yes, Brenda is expecting a baby boy. :)

Big congrats Brenda! Thank you for joining us in this sugary-sweet journey!
