Birthday Cake for Chut Puteri

Made a moist chocolate cake for my friend's daughter birthday. It was pretty last minute but it did turn out well. Except due to high and crazy temperature that we are currently facing, the writing melted! Poor girl.
Combining buttercream and chocolate is not mean feat, but somehow the strawberry manages to make the cake more colorful and inviting..

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!!!

Valentine's Day Chocolates

Since word spread out that I too can make chocolates and although not a pro in making making, nevertheless I did received some orders to make some for  Valentine's Day. Syukur Alhamdulillah

Here are some of the designs for your eyes, which of course please enjoy salivating upon viewing.

The fillings vary, from mocca praline, almonds, hazelnut and Gummy Bears, until i dont know which is which when i stuffed them in the special design boxes. Luckily my clients did not have any allergy towards nuts and best of all, these are cheaper than the ones available in the market.

How i wish someone give me some chocolates for my Valentine...hahahaha

Happy Valentine's Day people, have fun!

Chocolates Galore

 

I learned to make these today. There are so many varieties of chocolates, like mocca filling, durian filling, strawberry filling etc etc;

and i will practise to make it tonight. So we can all enjoy it. While watching TV, as a Valentine's Day gift to your love ones or just to reward yourself

Thanks Chef for spending the time teaching me these skills. I wont fail you.

Chocolate chocolate and chocolate delight!

 

This is the latest design 

i made this today...please excuse the poor outlook of the rose petals. I kept on eating the chocolates instead of using it to make the petals! hahaha

For a beginner, all i can say is...

darn it...it does look good! Better than i expected hahahaha

I need more practice, and i wont stop until it is perfect!

My first wedding cake

The wedding cake

I received an order from my former close friend to make his wedding cake last December 2009

**  i meant former because i dont know where he is now..Maybe off to his honeymoon..hyuk hyuk  :P **

So he ordered a 3 tier chocolate fudge cake which is easy peasy for me to make However i faced difficulty on one thing which was to find the desired figurine. Most figurines may look lovely to the naked eyes but once you peer closely, you can see how disfugured they can be. Like broken nose, crooked arm etc.

This then caused me to traveled all around Johor Bahru to find the perfect cheap figurine, which was then available in the cake supply shop in front our my house! hahaha.

It was a simple white fondant cake with some fresh mints and strawberries which was decorated on the spot at the wedding reception in order to preserve their freshness, and this is the final reult.

What do you think?

Up next, an all chocolate 3 tier wedding cake with mocca praline on the works..yummersss!

Stay tuned
