Crayon Shin Chan cupcakes...

Another set of crayon shin chan cupcakes and this time round it's an order from Liting. The requirements are simple where she wanted rainbow, the dog, "happy birthday" wording and of course crayon shin chan face on the cupcakes.

Hope she likes the cupcakes!

Superheroes cupcakes...

An order from Elaine who wanted to order a set of superheroes cupcakes comprising of spiderman, batman, hulk, thor, superman, wonder woman, etc. I'm not really a fan of the superheroes and the only movies I've watched are spiderman and batman. But I still have an idea of how they look like and with the help of the pictures that Elaine sent me, the cupcakes turned out quite decently. LOL.

Can you name the heroes?
She specifically wanted to change the superman "s" into the initials "sk". Hope she likes the cupcakes!

Ninja turtle cupcakes...

Another repeat order from Cindy who ordered a Ninja turtle cake for her son last year. Check out the cake below:

So this time round she wanted Ninja turtle cupcakes instead. Travis must have liked Ninja turtles a lot! LOL! Therefore, I made a mixture of 2D and 3D ninja turtle faces on the cupcakes.

Happy birthday Travis! Hope you like the Ninja turtles! And Cindy said that the kids in school loves them too!

Thomas train cake...

Another train cake this time round and it is specifically Thomas train cake ordered by May Ee for her son Chee Yang's 4th birthday! This is another challenge for me in cake sculpting and the previous train cake that I did had some flaws in it and therefore this time round, I wanted to learn from the mistake and perfect the train cake. Check out the previous rainbow train cake below.

This time round I used a 10" cake as well and cut it into long and short pieces to form up the train shape.

Train head and the carriage.
I used a whole sheet of fondant to cover the train head and it fits perfectly and neatly as compared to last time. I wrapped the carriage separately and I also cut out a dent in the carriage as May Ee wanted it to contain M&Ms which her son is super excited about. Somehow I think the train head looks like a car to me, Maybe next time I can venture into sculpting cars. LOL!

So with the structure in place I started decorating the train accordingly to how Thomas train looks like. And here is the final product!

I'm really satisfied with this creation and the structure is much stable compared to the last. And it really looks like Thomas train with the colours and stuffs. Not to forget the M&Ms surprise in the carriage! Think all Thomas train fans will love it!

Happy birthday Chee Yang and have fun with your Thomas train!



Mickey mouse cake...

An order from Meliza who wanted a Mickey mouse cake for her son, Nathaniel's 1st birthday! Countless of 1st birthday cake I have done and I'm really glad that I can contribute to someone's important milestone in life.

As she wanted the mickey mouse head only, I suggested her to get 3 flavours for each of the ears and the face. This is one cake that looks simple on the outside but a lot of effort is done on the inside. Definitely spent more time baking than decorating as have to bake 3 different cakes and to ensure that all cakes are of the same height. To make things more challenging, Meliza wanted a rainbow cake as the "face" of Mickey and as rainbow cake is taller than usual cakes, I have to make sure that the other 2 cakes are able to match up to its height.

Hope Nathaniel like his 1st birthday cake!

Mixture of characters cupcakes...

How time flies and it's been more than a year since I started this baking business and it's always nice to see repeat customers after a year ordering cakes from me for their special ones again. This time round, Shaun wanted to order a mixture of character cupcakes for his wife's birthday (I assumed those characters are the characters that his wife likes). Last year, he ordered a minion cake for his wife who likes minion. What a sweet husband! Check it out below!

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013_10_01_archive.html

So he sent me the pictures of all the characters and I tried to do accordingly. Some of it is quite a challenge for me such as Mickey and Minnie which I think that it's very easy to go wrong with the shape of the face. Luckily I managed to dig out a Mickey chop sis bought for me when she went disneyland. But I think there is still room for improvement on the Mickey and Minnie. LOL.

Can you name all the characters? Hope Shaun and his wife had a wonderful time together!
 

Line character cupcakes...

It's been a while since I last posted. But it's not due to the lack of orders thus no updates, nor is it due to me having a lot of orders, that's why no time to update the blog. It is simply due to the fact that the broadband at home is down for a whole month! Thanks to sis and her bf for their magical hands, the broadband is revived and thus I'm active on this blog again!

Enough side-tracking, this order is again from Hui Zhen who wanted to order the line characters, brownie and cory cupcakes. Those who are using the line app would be familiar with these characters and their super cute stickers. Thus, I just created their faces with different expressions that can be seen in the line stickers.

Hope Rae likes the cupcakes!
