Minnie Mouse cake...

Another order for Minnie Mouse cake and this time round Weiling wants to order the cake for her daughter Kristen's 1st birthday. I realised parents love to use Mickey and Minnie theme for their son or daughter's 1st birthday. LOL. I did a Minnie cake before but as I was not experienced before, there was some minor flaws in the design. Check the last Minnie cake I made below:

However, I did made some improvements when I did my niece Ulyss's birthday cake this year. Check it out below:

So this time round, I learnt from my mistakes in the past and also experience from making my niece's Minnie birthday cake, the cake was much neater and easier to do.

Hope Kristen had a wonderful 1st birthday party!

Mixture of Peppa pig, Elmo, Frozen, Hellokitty and Sofia the First cupcakes...

This time round, Regine wants to order cupcakes for her daughter Emma's 4th birthday celebration in school. She named a few characters that she wanted to include in the cupcakes and they are peppa pig, elmo, frozen, hellokitty and sofia the first. I wonder what's with the recent craze of peppa pig but having prior experience in making the cake, I have no worries about this design. As for Frozen, I've previously bought icing image of it and they look very nice. But for Sofia the First, I've not heard of it and therefore have to search again and in the end I bought some decorating rings from Ebay to place on the cupcakes. Therefore, I'm ready to decorate the cupcakes!

The whole set of cupcakes

 I've included a girl figurine in the middle to represent Emma as the birthday girl!

Really love the Frozen icing image as I'm a Frozen fan myself. LOL.

Happy Birthday Emma! Hope you like the cupcakes!

Er Jie's birthday surprise!

It's mid year again and how time flies, 6 months have passed! Anyway, it's Er Jie's birthday again. Last year, I made her a Candy Crush as she is a crazy fan of the game (and she is still playing now after a year). LOL. Check out her birthday celebration last year:

So this year, her sweet bf, Ben, organised a surprise birthday celebration for her at Pasir Ris Costa Sands Chalet to celebrate her last birthday before 30 and before marriage. And as it is a surprise, of course she does not know anything about it. And again, I'm tasked with preparing her birthday cake. At first, I wanted to go with the theme of last 20s and stuff, but I can't really find any ideas on that, instead I decided to make a princessy cake as she is special for the day (only for the day). I also decided to make a mini two-tier cake (4" and 6") as it was a small party for friends and family. Mummy was very adventurous and wanted to try out rainbow cake for a change and a pleasant surprise when sis cuts the cake. I have been receiving enquiries on making rainbow cake which is apparently the "in" thing now. But it is more tedious and more effort is needed in making the cake but still mummy decided to give it a try and see how it goes.

The different layers of the rainbow in making

Rainbow cake done! Love the vibrant colours!

The colours of the rainbow cake is really vibrant but as the layers are baked differently, when put together, they do not match well and I have to cut even the sides. And also we have made the individual layers too thin, resulting in the cake being not tall enough. But still, it is a good first attempt and can't wait to see how it looks like when sis cut the cake! Now it's time for decorations.

The princess cake

Initially I wanted to make a crown on the top of the cake, but it was quite hard to make one, so I placed a crown on it and it fits perfectly (the crown was actually used on my 21st birthday cake and I kept it till now). LOL. Hope sis likes the princess cake decorated just for her! And then the surprise party begins!

Surprise within the cake!

Happy Birthday my dearest Er Jie! Wishing you forever 29! Love you lots!

Another set of Liverpool cupcakes...

This is an order from Daphne who wanted to order these Liverpool cupcakes for her husband's birthday. She wanted the jerseys to have the role of the man being a hubby to her, and a daddy to the children. It's a set of simple cupcakes which is similar to the previous set of Liverpool cupcakes.

Hope her husband likes the cupcakes! Happy Birthday!
