Pastel Purple

Recently, I had an opportunity to add some sweetness in an engagement of a friend of mine. 
He requested a cake and cupcakes all themed in purple. 
So, I decided to bake a two-tiered double chocolate cake by faith using my own recipe and Blueberry Vanilla Cupcakes using real vanilla beans also a recipe I invented from my recent experiments.

I topped the tiered cake with Italian Meringue and the cupcakes with sandy butter cream and edible heart cut-outs.


Here goes..

Edible Hearts



The 2 tiered cake which tested my patience, as I did not not where I was headed to with all the designs etc..etc..
Hence the slight messy-ness 
Oh yes, it has 4 layers of cakes with dark pickled cherries and chocolate fudge in between.


Enjoy!

Love,
Velvet

Right on time...

I love challenges and I love doing things which revolves around the artsy-fartsy world.
I never took culinary studies, I wish I did because I wanted to expand my knowledge especially in baking.
It has always been a passion apart from singing, and now I get to do it. You want to know how it feels? It feels great. I get to to do two things I love most in life. I thank God for that. 

The world is as real as it is, and sometimes when someone drops a bombshell on you, for an order of 200 hundred custom-made cupcakes in a two day notice, you just have to do it and it means someone loves your creation and wants more of it..hehe..

This was for an opening of  a new Spanish restaurant in 1Borneo, La Fuente.

This order really triggered my spine, but I am at the same time grateful and thankful to have had this order done right on time. 
Thanks Leben!





Thank You

First Attempt

I may be inexperience, but I am surely passionate in what I put myself into.
Lucky me, my right brain did work hard giving me ideas while left brain stood thinking so hard.
Despite the new oven being so stubborn and cant cope with extension"s"

Cupcake Calendar is still very grateful to be part of Miss Earth Sabah 2010.

a generous layer of cream cheese topping with rolled fondant

the end product :)

We decided to not put the pinks on the icing because according to the right brain, pink sometimes can kill other colours.

GOTHIC PRINCESS

I have always been a great fan of chocolate and i love the sandy texture of butter cream in my icing.
Something light and fluffy with a great hint of dark chocolate icing, Calendar presents..

GOTHIC PRINCESS

GREEN TEA

I've gone through numerous attempts of perfecting each batch of cupcakes that comes out from the oven. Sometimes, Its either too moist or too dry.

Just 2 weeks ago, I came up with this new invention of my own (my recipe from scratch), I call it Green Tea cupcake.
I am not sure whether or not it's considered as a healthy cupcake, but why not give it a try and see how healthy you can become after eating one. :)

Imagination

These colours have been popping in my mind. I am reminded of my little childhood fairytale, where it used to be care-free and I wander freely around my kampung which I am no longer capable of doing now.



I would want them to come back

Happy birthday Joshia!

Oh my...how fast time flies.
With just a blink of an eye, You are already ONE.
You know how much we love you, don't you?

This year, I decided to bake instead of buying. It is more meaningful this way, dont you think so?
came up with various ideas, and ended up with this.. time constraint actually. but they loved it :)

Vanilla


try me?

This is the last remaining cupcake after I baked for fun yesterday. It’s a vanilla cupcake with blue buttercream frosting. Got everyone to taste and they left me a piece, at least.
