Hello 2008!

I apologize for the lack of updates. Not that I don't want to, but I have been pretty tied up with cake projects one after another. My customers sure have a knack of testing my abilities to the limit eh?! (in a good way, of course :) )

However, never fear because I'm back... with a vengeance. Before I forget, I'd like to wish everyone a very happy New Year. May all of us be blessed with prosperity, peace and harmony.

Now, to business. I present you my latest work that I've been diligently doing but slacking in updating. Enjoy...


Chocolate Moist Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream


A purple-themed chocolate moist cupcakes (recipe courtesy of Liza. Thanks a lot!!) specially made for my brother-in-law's wedding.







A purple-themed hantaran carrot cake for my brother-in-law's wedding.





An American Chocolate Cake ordered by Sianry for her darling daughter Belle. I was singing Jojo's song while drawing this cake. Hihihi... kept me up and inspired.


An American Fudge Brownie ordered by my neighbor, Dr. Shima for her son Najmi. Spidey to the rescue!

A Winnie the Pooh Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping


An ultraman American Chocolate Cake ordered by Matun for her son Aiman. It turns out that her husband was my ex-classmate back in PPP/ADP. Small world indeed!


Zareef's Bumblebee Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping. His birthday fell on the 1st of Syawal. Perfect timing to celebrate.


A Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Topping made for my biras when we came a-calling during their engagement.


Another Spongebob. He sure is popular among the kids, kan?


An American Chocolate Birthday Cake for Llah's mom.



Zareef's birthday cake, again! This time it was for the party held at home. Underneath Robin of Teen Titan lies an American Fudge Brownie.


Zara's first birthday cake. Zareef chose the picture for her. His reason; Zara loves Elmo. So I thought, why not? Brother knows best, aight?! Ohh.. her cake was a carrot cake with cream cheese topping.


Mdm Nong ordered this Cinderella cake for her daughter's 4th birthday. Please forgive Cinderella's face. It was too small to be drawn perfectly hence the rather distorted and pugly face.


Girl Power! Specially ordered by Khairolin for her daughter


Thomas for Adam, Anom's son



Red Power Ranger for Hanis, ordered by her sister Dr. Shima. Hihihi... never knew that a 22 year old would still be a fan of a Power Ranger. Oh well, whatever rocks your boat, dear.


Another Thomas and this time it's for a girl named Aishah. Her kind aunt, Jjay ordered it for her.

For office celebration kindly ordered by Llah. Thank you!

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.

Thomas in 3D

There is always a first for everyone, right?! Well, here's my first attempt of a 3D Thomas. This cake was requested by B's colleague's son who's a big Thomas fan. B's colleague requested for The Island of Sodor. This is the closest that I can come up with given that the surface area of the cake was a wee bit small to accommodate a volcano (yupp... was planning on doing a volcano but had to scrap it due to space constraint).

Underneath all those cream, lies an American Chocolate Cake topped with dark chocolate ganache. I would like to think that Thomas and Clarabel are chugging away around the Island of Sodor, passing pools and meadows filled with blossoming flowers. I used brown sugar to cover the remaining of the cake board to imitate the beach that surrounds the island.

A close-up of Thomas which I borrowed from Zareef's many, many trains. I even doubt he'll miss it given that he's so into all things Transformers right now.



My source of inspiration, also courtesy from Zareef's vast collection of all things Thomas which I religiously collected at car boot sales during our 4 years stint in Loughborough.

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...
