When Optimus Prime, Mickey and Minnie Collide

This is the end product when I combined these characters together for a brother and sister's birthday cake.

I truly hope both of the kids like their cake.

ps: I seriously need to improve on my writing-on-the-cake technique. Now I've realized how senget it is. Sheshhhh

Heart-y Engagement

My neighbor kindly ordered this cake for her cousin's engagement do. This is a repeat design from a previous one that I did for Aje. What started as a winged-it design turned out to be a favorite.

In Random Order

Dear all,

I'm terribly sorry for not updating this baking blog of mine. Too many things happen in such a short time plus I was away in Tokyo for 8 days. But, excuses schemexcuses la kan. Forgive me.

However, do feast your eyes on some of the cakes that I've done for the past 2.5 months. Enjoy!!...

An engagement cake ordered by Raff for her brother. Inside is a butter cake layered with blueberry filling. I was merely following orders on the color - a cream and gold theme. Alhamdulillah, it turned out well.



Double celebration cake custom-made for Yatie's children. Tina loves PowerPuff Girls while Syahmi is nuts about Spiderman but Mama only wants one cake hence the combined cartoon character on one cake. As long as the kids are happy, then I'm happy.







A half and a half - JJay couldn't make up her mind on which topping to choose because she equally loves both. So I suggested her to go for both hence the above.

My first attempt of using an edible icing image with Barbie. Beautiful kan?! Also ordered by JJay for her daughter.


1 kg Blueberry Cheesecake.

1 kg Strawberry Cheesecake.

Looks like Mickey is swimming in the sea. Oh well...


I'm rather proud of the outcome of this Minnie. Very cute and girly.



I seriously need to improve on drawing or at least get help in drawing Cinderella's face. Nampak cacat je. Luckily Nayli didn't scream her lungs out upon seeing her cake.

Nayli and Aish with their Robin (Teen Titans) and Cinderella cake. Can't wait!

Pink Stripes

A surprise birthday cake for best friend Nabilah from Sueraya. I came up with this to fulfill the 'something cute and pretty'. This cake was inspired by Peggy Porschen's Pretty Party Cakes book.

Sue, I hope your friend, Nabilah, liked her cake.

Taz the Devil


Ordered by KS, a repeat customer for her son, Akmal's first birthday. It was either a frightening looking dinosaur or a devilish looking Taz, hence I opted for the latter.

Thanks for ordering ya! I hope the little man likes his cake.

Hey Jojo, What Do You Say?


Ordered by dearest friend and neighbor, MummyChomel for her daughter, Myra, who celebrated her 4th birthday at school. I had fun decorating this cake as I was humming away Jojo's song from start till finish. Now the song is stuck in me, doing a death loop even while I sleep.

Thanks for the order MC dear! I'm soooo glad that Myra and her friends loved the cake. Do come back for more ya!!

The Purple Cute Dinosaur


After a series of text messages going back and forth, the owner of the cake came to my house to pickup her cake. Lo and behold.... she turned out to be my junior from SSP. See, I told you that this cake business is turning out to be a segment of Jejak Kasih hihihi...

Thank you very much Syareena for the order. Hope your kids liked it and wasn't turned off by the not so purple dinosaur. I tried to get the right tint but on camera, it didn't turn out well enough. Oh well...

Spiderman

One of the good thing that crop up from my sojourn into this small business of mine is that I get to make lots of new friends. The other good thing is getting orders from old friends whom I have not seen for more than a decade. This order was one of them.

It's from Shima, a long-lost friend whom I had the opportunity to get to know during our sponsor's induction course. Out of the blue, she called and asked for a spiderman birthday cake for her son.

It was really good meeting you again Shima after all these years. I hope our short chat managed to lift a heavy burden off your chest.

Spongebob Squarepants

Huhu... Spongebob. A favorite of many, many kids and adults I know EXCEPT for mine. Yuppp... Zareef detests him. When I asked him why, he replied "I don't like him because I don't watch him on TV". Okayyy?? Valid ke reason tuh?? Confuse kejap.


Anyway, this was for Dina, Along's daughter who turned 3 yesterday. Underneath the sea, lied an American Chocolate Cake covered with dark chocolate ganache.


Despite being ill, Zareef helped me in decorating this cake (under my strict supervision though. Kalau bagi free reign, banyak la benda-benda yang nak di drizzle nya). He put on carefully the sugar flowers and him being the bossy guy, instructed me to "put gray spots instead of black" on Spongebob's face, "add the blue sea" because he lives under the sea, "make the seaweeds longer" so that the fishes can hide in there and so on. Fuhhh... letih Mommy macam ni. It's hard to stay angry when all he wants to do is help me albeit authoratively.

Cakes Galore

It has been a very, very long time since I last updated my cakes. Reason being, the whole family has been attacked by an unknown virus that was too strong for us to resist for the whole two months. We were ill for an average of 3 times each with temperature reaching the highs of 40. B ended our illness saga with being admitted into Sunway Medical for denggi.

Okay, enough about being ill. Lets get to cake business. Please feast your eyes on the cakes that I've done for the past months. There are too many stories to be told so I'll just cut to the chase and let you have a plethora feast of cakes...
