This and That

Some of the jobs I have done lately... No write-up this time. Just. Too. Plain. Lazy. And busy.







I'm gonna have to make some announcement some time this week. I may not be able cope with all hobby-business and school-business and personal-business for the next 8 months. My amnesia is evolving from bad to worse... Hah!

Some Jobs

These golf themed cupcakes were made without much knowledge. :) I wasn't a fan of golf and I only know a thing or two about it.

I put water hazard in the golf course and sand  trap. Though the sand trap wasn't a good one, as you can see it was of darker shade than it should be, the sand trap tasted yummy because I used Loacker Cremekakao wafer. :D If I ever have to make this theme again in the future, I'll definitely use some plain wafer instead.

The not so new kamasutra theme is also back, only this time they were for Aziz. I had to crack my head for more position and their names to make sure no two cupcakes have the same position. So here, I have 18 different positions together with their names.


Mac Cupcakes for Foreign Affairs

Wanie just moved to a new department and thus these cupcakes occurred. The forever peanut-butter lover ordered nothing else but that (the vanilla cupcakes with peanut-butter filling). 

There's nothing much to say about these little devils, just that I got the idea from the net. Some moms who bake made cupcakes decorated with computer icons. So I kinda improvised from that.

Designer's Cups


Another birthday. It's usually birthday, isn't it? Or some other celebration. That's what cakes are normally for.


This time, it's designer's brand. I have thought about this for some time, and this is just the appropriate time to make them since the birthday is for a young lady who's going to turn 24.


And this one is just some additional I made for Un. He's visiting some relatives over the weekend, so I made something for him to take to them.

It's good to have birthdays. They make me less bored and less lazy. ;)

Soccer Again

Another male birthday. Now these here, don't be taken aback..., are cheesecakes in cups. I can't help from feeling strange when making these. I have always believe that cheesecakes should always go bare and naked. They are best eaten that way.

But anyhowsoever, what customers want customers get. I was asked to make these cakes that way so I made it. I also noticed that it's generally better to have more than a set of nine cupcakes in order to make a full fledge themed cupcakes. Nine is just too few.

Lazy Days

Eventhough I am on my semester break at the moment, I am still one lazy ass. Thus, lately, I didn't produce anything much from my kitchen. Well, I did made some churros the other day, but I didn't have any cameras with me so I don't have their pictures here to testify to that claim. Nevermind, those churros were pretty easy to make, I'll probably make them again next time and have the photos, and the recipe posted over here.

So, because I am lazy, my last quest of making birthday cupcakes has led me to take their picture in the muffin pan and not in the cake box or at least, on a cake board. That explains how lazy I was, right?

I also made some birthday cupcakes for my friend's dad. She asked for freestyle cupcakes, which I like because it gives me so much freedom to do anything with the little devils. I have been eyeing these football team cake toppers for a looong time so I bought them eagerly to go with the daddy's birthday cupcakes.

The cupcakes were turned into a football field (I made the grass from dessicated coconut which was tinted green) and I piped some line on the cupcakes to represent the football field better.

And these above, were the kamasutra cupcakes again, only this time they were ordered by the ever loyal Madam Zalwanie!

Teaching Day

Yesterday was teaching day. Guided a girl from class making some cupcakes for her special friend. Devil's Food was the easiest to make, so that was what I made her do.

We made some cream cheese fillings and fill them in the cupcakes. We wanted to have Manchester United emblem on the cupcakes, icing drawn, but was too risky to attempt. So, we sticked on some paper logos on to toothpicks and placed it on the cupcakes centres.
All in all, the day was considered a successful one.

Happy B'day Arsenal Fan!!!

From a sister to a brother. These were made for a birthday boy who happens to be a die-hard fan of the Arsenal football team. They are the ever favourite peanut butter filled cupcakes again. I have to say that I have made a lot of these within the past year. This and the oreo cheesecake. They seems to be my best produce so far.

Here's a cross-sectional view of the cupcake. See that thick filling of peanut butter in the center? That's the thing that make my heart fell for this little thing. Truly, truly nutty!


P/s : Mimi, I hope your brother likes it.

Love n Sex

I made this kamasutra cupcakes last night for a lady who wants to go home to her hometown in Malacca today. She wanted something to surprise the husband. I hope these little darlings will do just that.

It did cost me some time to actually find the names of the sexual position..., but hey, I made it at last!

In addition to those kamasutras, she also wanted something lovey dovey and romantic. Purple and pink was her choice of colour and I simply turned 9 cupcakes into lovestruck icons.

Hope you're satisfied with them, girl!

Chocolate Hazelnut in Citrus Suit

Another classmate of mine ordered 'freestyle' cupcakes. And when she said 'freestyle', she made me happy. Cos 'freestyle' means I can do whatever I want with them. Unfortunately, I was not so free at the time she ordered them because at the same time I was also handling another huge order.

Nevertheless, I didn't compromise the cupcakes, I managed to make these chocolate cupcakes, with chocolate hazelnut filling in their centres. And of course, here, as you can see, they're disguised in 'citrus' make-up.

Little Boy's...

My classmate's little boy just turned four last week. Made these for his little party at a day-care.

I love these blue cups. Simplicity and clarity.

I made 50 chocolate devil's food cupcakes for this batch.

I kept the design light and whimsical. I have to say, it's my identity to not have too many colours on a series of cupcakes. And I try as much as possible to make the deco minimal and neat. After all, cupcakes are meant to be simple.

Ana's Purple

For a lady who just turned 23 last week. Ordered by her room mate who happened to be a chocolate lover, so the cakes are chocolate. But the colour purple, is the birthday girl's favorite.

More to come in the next fortnight. Good thing, but phew..!

Road Signs

My good customer placed another order. Her usual favourite - Pnut Butt (vanilla cupcakes with peanut butter filling).

I took the opprtunity to decorate the cupcakes with road signs. Simple, but cute enough to be placed on cupcakes.

F1 Fever

These were made in conjunction to Formula 1. Patterns are challenging enough for me but it was a good call. I managed, I guess...

I'm kinda proud of the cars and the F1 logos. But come to think of it again, I'm almost always proud of my produce. And to Miss Izura, I hope you like them as much as I do.

Cupcakes A La Sprinkles for MIS

These Sprinkles imitation cuppies was made for my MIS class yesterday. That's it. Only 25 pieces, enough for everyone. One person each of course. And I made them smaller than usual. Don't ask why. Hehehs...

Fid texted me today to ask about macarons. And I don't make them. But then I thought, maybe I should make them. Lovely French macarons with fillings would be great. I'll give it a trial run next month. Just you wait, little macarons!

Adam is 3

Today, a friend's child celebrated his 3rd birthday. I have never made birthday cupcakes for kids, so this was my first experience.

The caterpillar could be longer, but the 4x4 box limits it.

And I am no good when it comes to drawing figures/faces of superheroes. So my attempt to do Spidey wasn't successful. Here, I manage to do Superman's logo, nevertheless.

I hope the parents and Adam himself like them. To Intan, if you're reading this, making these for you makes me nervous, because you are one good cook and I was so scared if I let you down. But anyways, let me know of what you think of them... :)

Fid's New 2008 Minis

Fid wanted some mini New Year Cupcakes. A hundred of them, an assortment of Vanilla Minis and Oreo Minis. These were them.

Colours for the cake toppers were based on the colours of rainbow. So, Happy New Year, Fid!

Welcome 2008.
