Roses

My darling daughter's teacher ordered a chocolate fudge cake to celebrate her birthday with her friends, whom birthday also fall in the same month. She had requested to use less sugarpaste for the cake, so i omitted the coating of the cake with sugarpaste and just covered it with chocolate ganache. The decorating was done with hand-made roses.

I had purposely uses bright colors for the roses and butterflies to complement the dull color of the chocolate fudge cake.

Circus Cake

My darling daughter's birthday is just barely 2 weeks away from her brother's birthday, so i quickly set to work on her 3rd birthday cake. I've specially selected this theme: circus, for her. It was inspired by a book which we had borrowed from the library and she likes the circus story so much and i just put this into consideration when i did her cake. Here's the result...
I like how this cake turns out, especially with the "shooting stars". A very Happy Birthday, my darling...

Animals in the zoo...

My darling son 1st birthday!! His very 1st cake baked and decorated with love by mummy. :)
I had chosen an animals theme for him. Since he was born in the year of oxen, I’ve made a little cow sitting on top of the cake. I realized it later that i should have made a bull for him instead. Hahaha.. Mummy’s mistake...

See the little cute, fat face at the side of the top tier cake? It was made to resemble my son. He’s such a chubby little boy now.

Vaccum Cleaner

A birthday cake which i had baked for my mummy. She always celebrate her birthday during the lunar new year period and this is the time where most cake shops will be closed. So, i just do it myself and added something special, ie. the "ang bao" portion. Every year, i would give my mum a red packet for her as a birthday present. This year, it's a vaccum cleaner with "cash" being sucked into it's tummy...

Wedding Couple

Loved wedding cakes a lot and decided to try my hands on a cake which I saw in the cake decorating book. Purposely took a day leave to stay home and work on this piece of art. The wedding couple seems to have shrunk in height after I left it in normal room condition when I rushed out to fetch my kids from the child care center. I only remembered to place them back in the air-con room after I’m back. So, here’s the result.

Bumble Bee

This cake was done for me to practice on butter cream piping. Butter cake with butter icing used.

Bears in the Garden

My 1st attempt to do a sugarpaste cake for my niece one year old birthday. My little niece likes bears a lot and my sister requested a bear theme for her baby. So, I’ve selected 2 bears to make for her; a brown bear and a panda bear.

Happy 1st Birthday, Dolce...

Two little bees amongst the grass...

Hmm… Is the panda bear interested in the bee of butterfly?

PME Diploma - Royal Icing Course

My final module in the PME cake decoration. It is the most difficult one among the 3 modules. I took a straight 5 days leave to pick up this course at one shot. It’s tough and we are practically using a lot of the arm muscle to pipe and pipe whole day through, for a good 5 days. We did a total of 3 cakes in this course and the suspended cross stitch is the toughest for me. Have a look…

The 1st cake is relatively the easiest here. We learnt brush painting using royal icing for this cake. See the brush strokes on the flower?

The side view showed a very old English style of cake decoration, with trellis and lemberth.

This is the 2nd cake I’m learnt. The cross-stitch is tough and we had to strained our eyes to ensure all the lines are piped properly

Yes, the suspended cross-stitch. I had it collapsed on me twice. It’s so difficult to make it suspended in mid-air.

Finally, the side patterns here. These are the killers. We used the smallest piping tip, 0. **Fainted** I piped and piped and it kept breaking. But finally, still pulled through and here’s the wonderful completed work.

Lastly, the final cake with all those suspended (again!!) “octopus-looking legs”. This is another killer work. When I’m finally done with this, the satisfaction was un-describable”

PME Diploma - SugarFlower Course

This is the next PME Diploma - Sugar Flower course that I had embarked onto after the initial excitement from taking the sugarpaste course. We learned a lot's of botanically correct flowers here. Have a peek..

PME Diploma - SugarPaste Course

After the excitement of taking the Wilton 1 course, I went ahead to pick up the professional PME Diploma – Sugarpaste course in cake decoration. I wanted so much to be able to do as well as other online bakers and to be able to mold out beautiful “art works” for my own children.

It was really fun working with sugarpaste. Altogether, we learnt to do 5 different cakes design.

This is the 1st cake that I made. I didn’t know that sugarpaste will not survive in our normal humid environment. I left it on the desk for a day and had a rude shock upon seeing it. Most of the item on the cake had “melted”…

My 2nd cake done. It’s a one year old celebration cake. This time round, I had it placed into the fridge and guess what… It was wet when removed from the fridge. Upon asking my teacher, then I realized that the fridge is an enemy of sugar paste as well! Urrgghh..

Nevermind the wetness, my girl was excited when she saw the cake and wanted to eat it immediately. She took off the brown bear and started biting into it. Hmmm.. Too sweet, darling..

The 3rd cake I had made. It’s one of my favorite cake among all those that I had done in the whole course. This is a 2 tier wedding cake. I have chosen a sweet pink theme for this cake. See the beautiful butterflies perching on the roses and ribbons? :)

The rocking horse cake. It’s tough getting the horse to stand up straight. We used gum-paste instead. Did 2 horses (as an insurance), but one of them broke. See the laces on the side of the cake. It took me the longest time to make and I also had a hard time trying to pipe along those “hole” patterns on the lacing.


This is my finale cake. It’s another wedding cake with a set of hand-molded bride and groom. Initially, all my classmate wanted a “D” cup for the bride, but ended up all of us only managed an “A” cup. Hahaha.. Nevertheless, nice!! I like the back view of the bride and groom, not because the front view is not as prefect, but it’s really romantic to see couples sitting idyllically together..
