Family and garden theme cupcakes...

Another order from Evonne! Really very grateful for her support and this time round she wanted to order a set of family figurine + garden theme cupcakes for her friend's birthday. She sent me her friend's family photo which also includes their maid who they treat as a family as well. So here goes the cupcakes.

Really like the garden theme with the bees and beetles which looks really cute. LOL. Hope her friend and family likes them too!

Check out her other orders below if you have not:

Another present cake...

Here's another present cake for my team mate's birthday! As I do not know what she likes I thought a present cake will be nice and suitable for the occasion.

The cake is really simple and easy to make. And I have to say I'm getting better at making bows now and it looks much neater. LOL. Specifically likes the colour combination - teal base + pastel pink with gold pearl dust. Check out the birthday gal with the cake below.

Happy Birthday Weng Kuck!

Despicable me cake and cupcakes...

Another minion order! This time round it is from my sis's bf's aunt who is ordering a birthday cake for her 15 yrs old son. She wanted a small cake as it is just a small birthday celebration within the family.

  

I found these really cute minions cake toppers while I was in Hanoi last weekend. They have really nice and cheap figurines of all characters and I bought quite a few back for future use. LOL. 

Complimentary cupcakes.

Tried the icing image that I bought previously on the cupcakes and they look really nice and neat. 

Happy Birthday Yoke Yue!

Harry Potter cake and cupcakes...

This is one order that I'm really excited about as I'm a huge harry potter fan! I've read the books and watched the movie umpteen times and have a huge collection of harry potter related stuffs. Really love how the story goes and the wonders of the magical world. Enough of that and back to the order.

So Lynn wanted to order a set of harry potter cake and cupcakes for her daughter's 1st birthday. Apparently her daughter is named Hermione (maybe because Lynn is a huge fun of harry potter as well?). Anyway, she specifically wanted the following stuffs on the cake - snitch, wand, scarf, hat and specs. Also, she wanted a chocolate coated cake instead of fondant covered. So I tried my hands on it but the finish is not as smooth. Still have to work this out.

The cake looks really cute with the wand and stuffs and it was better than what I have expected. LOL.

The character cupcakes. Can you guess them?

Tried my hands on the character cupcakes as well. But I find it hard to carve out Hermione's face as there is not much special characteristics about her.

Anyway, when I deliver the cake to Lynn's house I saw a lot of wizard's hat and think they will have lots of fun having a wizards and witches party. LOL.

Ninja turtle cake, Lightning Mcqueen cake and Transformer cake...

Cindy ordered 3 cakes for her 2 boys' birthday this month. First up is a Ninja turtle cake for her 6 yrs old son Travis's birthday celebration in school. This is quite an easy and neat cake and it turned out well.

Next up is their birthday celebration at home for the two sons, Travis and Titus. She ordered a transformer cake for the elder son while a lightning mcqueen cake for the younger one. I seriously have no idea how transformer should look like (I'm not a transformer fan and have not watched any of its movie, the closest I ever got in touch with it is the transformer ride that I took in USS). So, I googled it and tadah, here's the cake!

For the lightning mcqueen cake, it was easy as I placed a cake topper on it instead. I was thinking it will be good as a toy for the boy after they finish the cake. LOL.

Thanks Cindy for being so supportive and placing her trust in me to order 3 cakes in one go. Glad all of them turned out well and hope the boys love the cake!

Jembakes does charity again at PMO!

My friend Weiling works at the finance department in PMO and they are having a President Challenge charity drive and she thought of me and wanted to sell cupcakes for charity. Of course I'm more than willing to help and she decided on four designs for her colleagues to choose from - Halloween, Ice-cream, Minions and Hearts and Flowers. The response is good and we receive a total of 100+ cupcakes, similar to the previous Citi charity sale that I did.

So, I started on making the cupcakes and the packaging of it. As usual, the minions cupcakes is the no.1 in popularity! LOL.

Ice cream cupcakes.

So for the ice cream cupcakes, Weiling specify that she wanted real cherries on the cupcakes. So I bought the cherries and biscuits to place on them.

Packaging for 3D cupcakes.

Packaging for 2D cupcakes.

The whole lot of orders.

The 4 different designs.

I'm glad to be able to take part in this charity drive and hope we have contributed in one way or another to help the needy. Thanks Weiling for the chance!

Up theme cake and cupcakes...

An order from Jinny for her daughter's 1st birthday where she is having an Up themed party. So she wanted her birthday cake to have the house and the balloons (if you have watched Up before you should know what I'm talking about).

For the house, I wanted something light which can stand on its own as due to previous experience, the fondant and gumpaste mixture is too heavy and may drag the covered fondant on the cake and create creases on it. So, I cut the shape of a house on cardboard and wrapped it with foil wrap before placing my fondant design on it. I specifically like the sweet pastel colours of the balloons. And I have to mention I found this nice happy birthday candles which fits perfectly on the top of the cake and matches the colourful rainbow well.

Hope Kayanne had a blast at her 1st birthday party!
