Cupcakes galore

Some of the cupcakes that i made last week. These are some Double Chocolate Galore and Strawberry Filling Cupcakes, Blueberry Filling Cupcakes, both top with either chocolate ganache or creamy buttercream.

Learning how to use the piping bag and nozzle and making chocolate strips. Not bad for a self learnt beginner right? hahaha

Latest Creation-Strawberry Sponge Cake with Chocolate Ganache

 

This is a 2kg birthday cake for my husband's friend. Basically it is a sponge cake with strawberry filling and top up with chocolate ganache which is always a huge favorite amongst adults and children alike. I too,  like them ganache :)

The difference is, I learnt how to make to chocolate strips and it was pretty easy to make. All you need are creativity and lots and lotsa love.

That's my secret ingredient everytime I bake a cake, or making chocolates, or cupcakes or cream custards. 

I made them with love and there is no more gratifying feeling than making others happy especially when they go OOHHS and AHHS when looking at the result.

I may not be a pro in this, but i will become one

Thanks for the oppurtunities guys! Hugss!!!

Barbie theme birthday cake

Received a request to make a Barbie theme sponge cake for a colleagues daughter second year old birthday.
Hmm...sponge cake. Not really specialty. Last time i made a sponge cake, it looked god awful. Furthermore i made it for my mother's birthday. Can you imagine how humiliating that was?

So i browse around for the recipes and came upon a few. Decided to give each one a fair trial and the best one did prevailed! We managed to bake the cake and for the filling we put in some fresh handmade strawberry jams and then for the fondant we made it pink as per birthday girl's demand.

The moment the cake was done, we hand delivered it to our client's house at Setia Indah, and I have received on of the best compliments yet; which was;

"Ibu, nak sudu nak makan kek"
loosely translated: Mummy give me spoon i want eat cake

Coming from a two year old, it was one of the best compliment ever. Thanks Kak Murni for the oppurtunity given, I enjoyed making the cake and trying out a new recipe.

There will be more to come
