Rainbow Cake & Red Velvet Cupcakes for Zul

I was specifically told to make them perfect or else...such intense pressure was put on me while I was preparing the cake and cupcakes by my friend, Zul who had placed the order. But then again I can understand him as he wants it to be the best for his mother. Not sure if I had lived up to his expectation but I had done my best and hoped that his family had enjoyed it.

I was happy with the outcome; the decoration was simple but it was neat. Zul had wanted the colour on the Rainbow Cake to be orange because it is his favourite colour. I can wildly guessed that he had rooted for the Netherlands in the last the World Cup :)

Happy birthday, Aunty Jamaliah & may you be blessed always. And thank you Zul for putting your trust on me :)

Rainbow Cake for Baby Feroz's 1st Birthday

When my old friend, Fareeza, requested for me to make the cake for her son's first birthday, I was taken aback. The last I saw Fareeza was when she was heavily pregnant with her son, and all of a sudden her handsome baby boy had already turned 1. Time had really fly!

Although it was little Feroz's birthday, Fareeza or Peeja for short, had thought of her two nieces, so she had ordered a Rainbow Cake with their favourite filling, Chocolate Peanut Butter. 

The cake had turned out ok, but I was worried that the Chocolate Peanut Butter filling would turned oily and soggy after some time. Later I sought Peeja's feedback and indeed the filling had made the cake soggy, but she said all the same the cake was good. It was very kind of Peeja :) But next time around I would make it into Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse filling so that it would stay fluffy and nice.

Thanks Peej & happy birthday, baby Feroz :)

Vanilla Cupcakes with Fondant Cupcake Toppers

I realized that I love psychedelic colours and sometimes would let myself run wild with it. Luckily the colours of these Vanilla Cupcakes that I was requested to make for my friends, Alo & his wife, were according to the engagement ceremony's theme colours. Alo & his wife intended to contribute the cupcakes for a relative's engagement gift and I'm glad they had liked it :)

I later learned that during the ceremony, the girl had worn a pink dress and the guy had on blue attire, so these cupcakes were just perfect.

Red Velvet Cake for Wawa

An old friend of mine, Wawa, recently ordered this Red Velvet Cake from me. Everything went on smoothly for this cake; the buttercream turned out great, the cake was quite level that I need not cut off the top too much and it took me less than 15 minutes to frost the cake. I did not want to waste the bits of cake that I had  to cut off, so I crumbled it and strewn it on top of the cake.

I was happy it turned out great for him and that he, his family and friends got to enjoy it. 

Thanks Wawa! :)

Yummy savoury Quiche

Cheese & Onion Quiche anyone?

These savoury custard like pie is my family's favourite and you can basically have any kind of filling in it; Mushroom & Cheese, Sausages & Cheese, Capsicum & Cheese...the combination is endless :) Pictured below is Cheese & Onion quiche and when it is baking, the whole house would be smelling of baked cheese for 2 days! Yup, they're potent stuff and they're yummilicious!

The standard size is made in 10cm diameter tin foil cups and one or two would be filling enough for a meal. I am selling it for MYR 3.50 each and minimum order quantity is 20 pieces.

Vanilla Seeds overloaded!

My family & I celebrated my mother's birthday recently & it was a really simply affair for us, just the way we like to celebrate any of our family member's birthday.

We went for dinner outside & for dessert, I made this new Vanilla Seeds Cupcake and it was really good! I put the seeds of one vanilla bean in the cupcake batter and another in the liquid glaze, so you could see specks of vanilla seeds in the cupcake and also in the glaze.

The glaze was a bit sweet but it reminded me of Krispy Kreme's original glazed doughnuts which I really loved. Tiny specks of vanilla seeds in the glaze looks cute, but people who do not know what it really is may think that the dust had settled in the glaze :)

Happy Birthday, Mama!
