Mickey mouse clubhouse cake and cupcakes...

Another order for mickey mouse clubhouse. This time round it's from Joey who wanted a set of cake and cupcakes for her son Jayrius' 2nd birthday. I did a mickey mouse clubhouse cake previously and it did have some flaws due to my lack of experience. Check it out below.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/09/mickey-mouse-clubhouse-cake-and.html

So the previous one I did I used just fondant and gum paste for the clubhouse and the clubhouse kind of collapsed and is not very round in shape over time. This time round I learned from my mistake and used round styrofoam for the clubhouse which is light and is able to stay in shape for a long time and the result is much better!

Can you see the difference from the previous one?

Happy birthday Jayrius!

Army cake...

First order for an army related cake and this is from my bro-in-law who is having a birthday celebration with his army mates (signalling unit I think). So he is tasked with bringing a cake so he wanted me to come up with something that is related to their unit. He sent me a few photos which I have no idea what are they and so to compromise, I decided to do the army phone.

I managed to get the army green by mixing green with black and I think the colour really works wonder as it makes the cake look more army-ish. LOL. I added some army elements such as the helmet and the grenade. The word was also provided by my bro-in-law which I think only the guys in the unit knows what is it about.

My bro-in-law said that the guys were very amazed by the cake and they thought that he bought it from the army market! LOL! Glad you guys like it and happy birthday to the birthday boys!

Hello kitty cupcakes...

An order from Yvonne for a set of hello kitty cupcakes. Having done umpteen sets of hello kitty cupcakes, this is considered one of the easier cupcakes for me (second to minions cupcakes). LOL.

Hope Hui ling likes the cupcakes! Happy birthday!

Weighing scale cake and casino cupcakes...

My sis made this order for her boss who is celebrating his 47th birthday. He is a super funny person and brings much laughter and joy to people around him. My sis and her colleagues wanted to do a weighing scale cake for him who weighs more than a 100kg and they were teasing him that his goal is 110kg (he is not fat but he is tall and big build).

 She also wanted some cupcakes with casino chips and stuffs where her boss likes to gamble. LOL.

Hope her boss likes the pleasant surprise!

Princess peppa pig cake...

An order from Daphne again who previously ordered cupcakes for her husband's birthday. This time round it's for her daughter Deiondre's birthday. Check out the cupcakes I did for her husband previously.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2014/06/another-set-of-liverpool-cupcakes.html

So her daughter wants a princess peppa pig cake (one of the latest craze for kids as well). This is quite a nice and sweet cake. Here it is.

Happy birthday Deiondre!

Hello kitty and Minnie mouse cake...

An order from Kelly for her daughter Emma's 1st birthday. She wanted 2 small cakes, one hello kitty and the other one minnie mouse for her daughter who likes both characters.

So I got toppers for both and decorated them in pink and white as Kelly wanted the specific colour theme.

Love how the hello kitty cake turns out sweetly with the lace and the pearls.

A cuter look for the minnie mouse cake.

Hope Kelly likes the designs for both the cake and Emma had memorable 1st birthday!

Cars cake and cupcakes set..

I think I did quite a few Cars cake and think most are ordered by Sheryl as both her sons love cars! I think I'm going to run out of ideas for Cars cake design soon for her. LOL! Check out the cars cake that I have done for her below.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/11/lightning-mcqueen-and-mater-cake.html
http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2014/07/cars-cake-and-cupcakes-set.html

So this time it's the older brother Ranen's birthday again and he's turning 4 this year and he is still loving cars. I ordered icing image for the cupcakes and for the cake I tried a different design and here it is.

Happy birthday Ranen!

Pooh and friends cake...

Another order from Hui Zhen who wanted to order a Pooh and friend cake for her son Dayrius' 1st birthday! She had previously ordered quite a few cakes and cupcakes from us and I'm really thankful that she likes our cakes!

So this time round, I ordered some rice paper images of pooh and friends online and then cut them out to paste it on the cake and it turned out quite well! I have rabbit and tigger on the top tier and piglet, eeyore and christopher on the bottom. And pooh being the main lead, on the topmost of the cake.

Rainbow cake on the top tier.

Hope Dayrius had a great 1st birthday!

Elmo and friends cake and cupcakes...

This is an order from Eve who had ordered a rainbow care bear cake for her daughter Jeraine's 1st yr birthday last year. So this year, Jeraine is 2 and Eve is back to order her birthday cake from us! Thanks for the continuous support! Really grateful to have customers coming back to get their cakes from us! Check out her rainbow care bear cake from last year below.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/11/rainbow-care-bear-cake.html

So this time round she wanted elmo theme cake and cupcakes, one for home and one for school celebration. As the little girl is allergy to dairy products, Eve wanted cake that does not have butter in it as she wanted the girl to have a taste of her own cake. Luckily, we do have recipe without butter and the little girl can eat her own cake at ease. So first up is the celebration at home with elmo and friends cupcakes.

Eve is very creative to come up with her own cupcake stand with elmo designs on it and the cupcakes look just nice on it.

Next up is an Elmo cake for school celebration. It's quite an easy cake to do and nice Eve took a photo of Jeraine at her school's birthday celebration and sent it to me.

Looking cute in her princess dress!

Happy Birthday Jeraine and hope you enjoyed your cake!

Wayne turns 6!

How time flies and Wayne is turning 6! Still remembered when he was born I baked his 1st day cake to welcome him into this world. And then for the next 12 months, I baked him a cake monthly till he reach 1 years old. But however at that time I was not into decorating cakes yet and those cakes now looks terrible to me. LOL. It was until Wayne was 4 when I make him a well-decorated cake for his birthday and since then I have been tasked with this job. But nevertheless, I'm more than happy to take up this job as it is always a joy to see his eyes sparkles when he sees the cake!

This year, his mummy decided to have his birthday party at Port of Lost Wonders in Sentosa as the boy loves water play (I think his eyes sparkles more when he sees water than when he sees the cake). LOL. So, the theme for this year's cake is beach theme.

 For the lower tier of the cake, I created the underwater feel with seaweeds and various type of fishes.

I've did beach theme cupcakes before so this time round it was quite easy for me. I created the "sand" feel using ground peanuts and then placed the slippers, towel, shorts, etc on it.

 All ready for the beach party!

It was chaotic with lots of kids at his party! All his classmates in his class turned up and some came with their siblings as well. A total of more than 30 kids at the party (not including other kids at the water play area as well). Wayne was so excited to go into the water and play when he reached and being the nice and young and energetic xiao yi, I volunteered to go into the "battlefield" and play with him and Ulyss first before his friends arrived. It was fun but super tiring! But the birthday boy seems to have unlimited amount of energy, running rounds and rounds without stopping. How nice to be young! LOL! Luckily his friends arrived one after another and once he have his playmates to play with, I am able to retire and rest my old bones.

The birthday boy!

 Finally it was cake cutting and the kids all gathered around the cake and it was hard to take a picture of the birthday boy without any heads popping in. LOL.

Wayne and his friends.

And it's a rainbow cake!

The colour turns out just right!

And again I forgot to take a picture with my masterpiece before it was gone! Left with a picture of the aftermath.

The cake and cupcakes were well received and the kids love it (especially the sweet fondant on top). LOL. It was a really big cake (6" and 10") with 20 cupcakes but at the end of the party only left with 1/3 of the bottom tier cake. There is at least 30 kids and 30+ adults in the party so this portion of cake is just right for the number of people.

Wayne was the first one to start playing and was the last one to end. He is really super energetic but he got quite dark from the sun as well. Really glad that he enjoyed his party with his friends as next year they will all be going to different primary schools. Oh my! My nephew is going to pri 1 next year! What a big boy he is now! LOL! Continue to grow strong and healthy and Xiao yi loves you always! Happy birthday Wayne!

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:

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/11/ninja-turtle-cake-lightning-mcqueen.html

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.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013_12_01_archive.html

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!

Wedding cupcakes...

I finally receive order for wedding cupcakes! This is an order from my sec sch co friend Michelle who was engaged recently. Congratulations to her! And so she requested for a set of wedding cupcakes to surprise her fiance at the airport who is back from overseas. So sweet! She had specific requirement such as their names and 2 specific dates on the cupcakes which should be their ROM and banquet date I guess (and I realised it turns out to be 1314 which means eternity).

So I placed some weddng elements on the cupcakes such as the ring, the wedding cake, the dress, etc. Not forgetting the bride and the groom in the middle!

Here's wishing Michelle and Jonathan have an everlasting and blissful marriage in advance!

Darts cake...

Been getting very interesting orders lately and Hui Zhen actually ordered a few cakes/cupcakes in one go! Thanks for the support! This time round she wanted a darts cake for her friend Derek's birthday and I gladly took up the challenge with the faith she had in me.

I did some planning before hand so as to get the right circle with the right numbers of cuts in between, etc. In the end, I realised it was not really a very hard cake to do and it came up quite nicely and neatly. So glad I took up the challenge! LOL.

This was a delivery to be sent to a KTV pub and there were darts machine in the pub and it was so apt. She requested for the name to be written in chinese as 刘少. Same surname as me!

Hope 刘少 had an awesome birthday with his darts cake and will be able to shoot right at the bulls eye!

Snowboarding cupcakes...

An order from Christina who wanted to order a set of snowboarding cupcakes for her best friend. Apparently they are going on a snowboarding trip thus the request and she is going to surprise her friend with the advanced birthday cupcakes when they reach there. So sweet of her! She requested for 2 figurines to represent 2 of them and here's how the final cupcakes look like.

I really think the figurines are very cute (self praise) LOL. Sis says it's because I covered their eyes that's why it looks cute (that means I have not been making nice eyes?) LOL.

Hope the girls enjoy their snowboarding trip and have fun!

Arsenal soccer cake for 1st birthday!

This is an order from Tze Wei where she is ordering a birthday cake for her nephew Danzel's 1st birthday. Her sister, Tze Han wanted an Arsenal soccer cake (probably because they are fan of the soccer club) as they are having a soccer themed party.

She wanted a 3 tier cake with specific requirements such as a soccer ball on top with the number 1 on it, the arsenal logo with the jerseys (number 23 with the name Danzel on it) and shorts. At first, it was hard to do up the Arsenal logo, but luckily, I found someone on facebook who sells icing image where we can send them the picture to print on the icing. Therefore, I sent them the Arsenal logo for printing and managed to fulfill all her requirements. Check out the final product!

This is my first 3 tier cake and I'm quite pleased with the end result! I inserted pillars on the base cake for greater stability. I liked how the ball sits nicely on the top with the Arsenal logo. Glad that I managed to find the icing image where it really makes the cake feels more soccer-ish, LOL.

Happy Birthday Danzel!

2D Minion cake again!

Yes it's the minion again! This is an order from Jason for his gf's birthday. It's really a simple cake and after numerous and countless attempts at it, it can be counted as my best-seller cake! LOL.

Hope Jason's gf likes it and Happy Birthday to her!

Mahjong cake for the mahjong lovers!

An order from sis again for her friend Mildred's birthday. Time flies and it had been a year where last year she ordered an "I-chat" cake for her. Check it out below if you have not.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/09/i-chat-cake-for-virtual-friend.html

So this time round they are no longer virtual friends but mahjong kakis instead. LOL. They arranged to have a mahjong session with their friends and therefore sis wanted a mahjong cake which will be very apt for the occasion.

I seldom play mahjong so I'm not very familiar with the tiles and the colours of it. So just did a few which are easier to do. Not forgetting the chips and the dice on the table and it turns out quite well!

Happy birthday Mildred!

Check out their mahjong party below!

Hope you like the cake and win lots of money!

Hellokitty cupcakes...

Another set of hellokitty cupcakes again! An order from Hui Zhen who is a repeat customer who had ordered a set of mickey mouse clubhouse cupcakes for her son's birthday. Check it out below.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/07/mickey-mouse-clubhouse-cupcakes.html

I think I'm getting really good at cutting out the hellokitty face now and it looks really nice and neat and not out of shape. LOL.

She also requested for a card to go with the cupcakes as it was a birthday surprise for her friend Vivian. That's really sweet of her! She is also getting a few more cakes and cupcakes from me so stay tuned for more of her orders! Really very thankful to her for being so supportive and putting her trust in me!

Hope Vivian likes the cupcakes and enjoys her birthday!

Pigs swimming in the mud yet again...

Another order for chocolate pig cake! This time round is from Li Li who is ordering for her niece, Tiffany's birthday. So being quite experienced in it now, the cake was done up pretty fast and neat.

Happy Birthday Tiffany!

Chanel cupcakes...

Joey contacted me and wanted to order Chanel cupcakes for her friend. She wanted to basic designs such as the chanel logo, the no.5 perfume etc. So here is the final product!

Hope Joey and her friend likes the cupcakes!

Daddy's 62nd Birthday!

It's the time of the year again and how time flies, we are at 分享3 now. Still vividly remembers how we were preparing for Daddy's birthday celebration and the displaying of his art and mummy came out with this title 分享 which is very apt and meaningful (means to share in eng). Check out 分享1 and 2 below if you have not.

http://jembakes.blogspot.sg/2013/09/daddys-61st-birthday.html

So I am once again tasked with preparing the cake and here it is!

The "golf ball" to be placed on top.

Mummy wanted to try out rainbow cake again and therefore, this is her 3rd attempt on it!

Looking nice and more presentable with a great height.

The ball and cake ready to be decorated.

So the decoration process for this cake is quite simple. I wrapped the "golf ball" in white fondant and used a round ball mold to press into the cake to make the depressions that are seen in a golf ball. Made a man figurine to represent my Dad with a golf club and his golf bag. However, my golf club is a bit soft and not straight as I did not wait for it to harden and placed it straight on the figurine. Nevertheless, the golf cake is complete!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Up next is the celebration! As we are having a rainbow cake, sis suggested having a rainbow theme party where we will each wear a colour of the rainbow. Check out our nicely coordinated colours below!

Me and bf in red!

Sis and bf in blue!

The three sisters in primary colours.

Mummy in nice solid pink as well.

The rainbow colours!

This time round Wayne and me had a chance to display our drawings as well! It's an art sharing from the 3 generations. LOL.

Pardon my childish drawings.

Wayne is learning drawing now and is really good at it!

So before the cake cutting session, the kids were playing and kicking around with a ball and bf and me had to be bodyguards to my cake!

Finally it's time for cake-cutting!

 

 

 

The rainbow cake within!

This time round we had a much extended family and thanks all for the help provided! Happy 62nd birthday to my dearest Daddy and we will be back for 分享4!
