Football Cupcakes for Punitha

A colleague of mine, Punitha, had ordered these football themed cupcakes from me some time before Christmas to celebrate the 1st birthday of her son. I couldn't quite believe it at first but at only 1 year old, Punitha's son had already developed a passion for football. I hope that one day he will become a successful football player and make us Malaysian proud :)

These vanilla cupcakes were decorated with green coloured buttercream frosting resembling grass and for the football centrepiece, I had molded it from white chocolate and painted with some black food colouring.

Blueberry Cream Cheese Cupcakes for Ayu

My friend Ayu had brought a few of my Blueberry Cream Cheese cupcakes home before and her mother took a liking to it. So the next time we met, she ordered some for her family.

Thanks my dear & happy that you & family had loved the cupcakes :)

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.

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!

Red Velvet Cupcakes for Fakhariah

These decadent and popular cupcakes were ordered by my friend from secondary school, Fakhariah. I had modified the frosting slightly by incorporating fresh whipped cream in it to tone down the sweetness. The milky and sourish frosting complimented the slightly sourish cupcakes really well and I hope that Fakhariah (and her unborn baby :)...) had enjoyed these cupcakes.


Thanks Fakhariah & Azri!

Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes

I tried out a new cupcake recipe last weekend. I have been coming across this recipe for so many times but thought that it was a bit cumbersome to do. However, since it was a long Chinese New Year weekend and I have the mental support (thanks, An!), I decided to try out the Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes recipe.

It was a bit time consuming, but the end result was very satisfying. The cupcakes were moist and combined with the filling and frosting, it was just yummy. I could still remember the taste of the caramel and dark chocolate frosting everytime I see the cupcakes' photos. The caramel tasted so much like Werther's Original Caramel candies...yum yum :)

Cupcakes for Uncle Amin and family

My father has a very good friend who is ever so generous and loves to throw parties for family and friends. On Christmas night, we were invited to join in a barbecue gathering at his house and I made some cupcakes for his family as a thank you note. The colour combination turned out to be cute and I hope that Uncle Amin and his family had enjoyed the cakes :)

Banana Walnut Cupcake for Kasthuri

This was done way back for Deepavali this year. Every year without fail, my ex-colleague would invite us a few friends to her house for the celebration and prepared for us a delicious meal. Teamed with her family's hospitality, we cherish the visit to her house all the time. For her kindness, I thought I should reciprocate and hence I made these for her family...thank you, Kasthuri :)
