Bee Hives Cake

My colleague requested for a bee cake for a fellow colleague. This request was due to our birthday boy always wearing stripes clothing to work. Hahaha... So, i told her that i would make a heehives with many bees attracted to it.She also requested a bigger bee be be smoking to be placed on the cake. Here's the bigger bee (which represented the birthday boy) and i also made a pair of glasses for him. Hehehe...
Hmmm... All the little bees around the hives. These little bees represent all the fellow colleagues from the CAD team. All of you are just as hardworking and busy as the bees.. Salute to all of you!!!Here's a cascading effect of daisy flowers down the hives. Hahaha... In fact, they are there to hide some of my flaws in covering the cake. Can you spot it?

Ponyo and Plush Piggy

A mummy came to me with some photos and wanted a 2 tiers cake for her baby 1st birthday. Ponyo... Hmmm... never heard of before and mummy explained to me that it's actually a fish wanting to become human and turned into a little girl....It's really heart warming to see both daddy and mummy came to collect the cake. Loving parents...
Mummy also requested a plush piggy which her daughter loved a lot...
Also, a simple request for the cake to be bright and cheery!!Hmmm... i thought that since i'll do a 2 tiers, the top one will be a sea world, as Ponyo lives in the sea. All round the top tier are sea creatures... There's octopus, turtle, stingray, starfishes and crab. :)See how cute this little plush piggy is? Hehehe....Hmmm... mummy initially also requested cuppies, but since i'm baking 2 cakes here, i can't find time to bake cuppies and she said her cuppies theme is garden. So, i did the bottome tier with garden feel, with a bold use of bright color to fuifil her request. A very happy birthday to you, Baby Jayann...

Word World Cake

An interesting theme requested from my colleague for her beloved nephew. I didn't even know of such an educational program till she showed me pictures of this theme - Word World.The animals were made of wordings joined together. Can you figure out what is this animal?Altogether, she requested a dog, a pig and a duck. Really having fun making out the animals using words. Even my little darling girl was happily telling me all the names of the animals molded here.

Castle Cake for Baby Shelbi

A colleague of mine ordered this cake for her little darling 1st birthday. I was already making preparation for this cake when the Ben10 cake order "cut in the queue". Hahaha... Having a heart-attack week doing these 2 cakes. First time doing a castle cake and was cueless how to get the 4 towers done up. It's really stressful doing these towers. Firstly, it's time pressing. Secondly, during transporting the half done towers, they collasped and damaged the little doll as well. Third, they went out of shape due to the constant transporting around. And lastly, i had such a hard time sticking the towers onto the cake board. But luckily, i've made it in time for the cake to be picked up for the celebration. Yippie!!See the pose the little baby is having? Hahaha... Mummy said it's her baby unique "sexy pose" and requested it here. So cute of this little baby. I loved her cheeks... So chubby, same as my darling son. And of cos', she got a big birthday kiss from my cheeky son on that day too... :)

Ben10 cake for YiJie

My ex-boss ordered a Ben10 cake for his staff's son. This ex-boss is a real wonderful guy. I hate it that i don't have the chance to work with him for a longer period of time. Nevertheless, here's the result of the Ben10 cake for a wonderful ex-colleague of mine.A crush week for me to do 2 cakes one day apart from each other. I was thinking of not to accept this order due to time constraint, but how can i ever turn down the request of my ex-boss who had taken such good care of me before? Worked late into the night for a few nights in molding the figurines.I've noted my skills in molding did improve. It's really a challenge for me, with so much to do and so little time given. My ex-colleague sms-ed me and told me how delighted her son was with the cake and how his classmates envied him during the celebration. Only regret is that they can't keep the figurines. I was so happy to received such nice feedback. Thanks, Kat for giving me the chance to work on this cake and a bigger thanks to my ex-boss for this order. I will always remembered all the goodwills showered on me during the time i had reported under you!! :)

Pirate Ship

My daughter's ex-schoolmate mummy requested for a pirate ship for her darling son to celebrate his 5th birthday. Her son is currently so intrigued with pirates and had wanted a huge pirate ship cake for his birthday.Mummy ordered a large cake so he can share with more than 50 of his schoolmates in the childcare centre. I was really so busy baking and craving out the shape of the ship over the weekend. Thanks to my hubby for helping to take care of the kids, else, judging from the time i took to bake the 2 big cakes (joined together here), i would have to sleep at 3-4am in the morning already.
:)Made a total of 3 pirates here. Love how they turned out. Thanks for Fei's mummy for giving me the chance to practice more on my workmanship to mold human!!Specially did the waves here with buttercream. I normally don't do piping work for sugarpaste order, but can't help it cos' what is a ship in the sea without "waves". Hahaha..

Flower Basket

My darling girl's ex-teacher ordered a small cake to celebrate her friend's 21st birthday. A simple request of flowers... I had been wanting to do a basket full of flowers and this is the best chance for me to work on this theme..Ohh... beautiful flowers.. i did some roses, sunflowers, carnations and daisy. Can you spot them?
Some little butterflies and fallen leaves around the base of the basket...

Wedding Cup cake - Just Hitched

My colleague ordered some 12 cupcakes for her dear cousin's wedding morning tea reception. Her request are simply a set of bride and groom, with a "Just Hitched" written on the cuppies.So, here's the "Just Hitched" on the cupcake written with edible ink... :)Loved this "xi" word. I found it while shopping in PH and bought it immediately. Hahaha... So, now it comes in handy!!Hmmm... Since my colleague didn't specify any theme for her cuppies order, i took the liberty and complement her request with flowers theme. Roses are an all time favorite, so, i added some of it in my design.. Noted some piping work here? I rarely do piping, but made it special here and piped the stems with buttercream...These are the main character, the bride and groom figurines!! Hehehe... love them, so sweet.. :)

Heart-shaped cake

My darling son's teacher ordered a heart-shaped cake to celebrate her anniversary with her beloved hubby. It's a simple request, so i told her i would add some figurines for her...
See the two cute bears here. Hmmm simple lovely. Hope she had a great time celebrating her anniversary. :)

Finally, got the chance to work on a 2-tier cake. Hahaha... Ryan's mummy came to me with a simple request. She wanted a boy, cow and football. She needed the cake to serve approximately 50 guests and i suggested to do a double tier cake. So now, this is the outcome...Like this little prince here... It reminds me of my own son when i did his 1st birthday cake. I also wanted to do a prince theme for my son, but didn't make it due to me still not good at molding human figurines and not sufficient time to do it. Ohh.. cute, little prince. :pSide view of the lower tier. Hehehe... 2D footballs here. I was so excited about making the footballs and ended up doing a total of 4 pcs.Love the little beetles, butterflies and bees here. Happy 1st Birthday, Ryan!!

Ben10 cake

Ben10 cake.
This is an order from a wonderful ex-colleague. I still remembered we got preggy at around the same time and our kids are both 3 years old this year. So nice...See Ben10 here? The handsome guy in the story... I've added some shooting stars and "stones" around, to give it a more galaxy feel...A green monster here. I didn't know the names of these 3 creatures till my ex-colleague checked with her son and told me. He is Swampfire. Transformed from the good Ben10.This is also another creature who was transformed from Ben10.The last creature here is Heat Blast, also another transformation from Ben10. Both of us simply don't understand why Ben10 has to transformed to become these creatures. hahaha... Maybe the kids know better than us... :)
