Happy birthday to my Er Jie!

Another year has passed and it's my Er jie's birthday again! This year, we have a new family member joining us soon next month and my Er jie is going to be a mother! I can still vividly remember the times when we were young where my sister will play with me or we will quarrel over toys and clothes. Now that we are older, we tend to cherish our times together more often and now that she is going to be a mother, these time together are even more cherished as she will have to devote more time for her baby princess.

So this time round, I decided to make her a rose cake. To be honest, it is supposed to be a "test drive" for the cake that I am going to make for a charity cake auction in office. I saw a video online by cakestyle who created a very pretty 3D rose cake by sculpting the cake and covering it with fondant and therefore I wanted to make one too.

But when I get my hands on to it, it is not as easy as it seems! I have to cut bigger petals per layer to cover the cake and the angle of the petals need to be adjusted too. In the end, the top view of the cake looks really nice! But it is a very different kind of rose from the video that I have saw. LOL.


I really like how it looks from the top view!


Birthday girl with the cake! The side of the cake does not look as fantastic and therefore I request them to take photos from a high angle but it makes the birthday girl looks weird. LOL. So here is a photo that both the birthday girl and the cake looks alright.


Happy birthday to my dearest Er jie! Thanks for always thinking for me and the family. I wish that littlemisspar will grow up strong and healthy and pretty and I can't wait to cuddle her in my arms and play with her! I wish that you will be happy and healthy as well with your bundle of joy and enjoy life with your little family. I love you lots!

Barney 2-tier cake...

Another order from Joey and this time round is for her 2 year old son Jarren. She wanted a Barney cake and therefore I got the toppers for it. In addition she said that her son loves farm elements, spider, etc and therefore I put those elements into the design of the cake as well.

This is a 2-tier 5" and 8" cake.

Hope Jarren had a wonderful birthday party!

Spongebob cake and cupcakes set....

An order from Sebrina who wanted a Spongebob 2-tier cake and cupcakes set for a birthday celebration in office for ET.

This is a mini 2-tier 4" and 6" cake. And although I have not really watched Spongebob but I think I do vaguely remember Spongebob lives in a pineapple house under the sea? LOL.


Not to forget the characters in the Spongebob show too! Although I only know Spongebob and someone called Patrick if I'm not wrong?


Hope ET had a wonderful birthday celebration!

Superman and Wonderwoman mini 2-tier cake....

An order from Feng who wanted a superman and wonderwoman two-tier cake for a small birthday plus anniversary celebration. As it is for a small group, I suggested a mini 4" and 6" two-tier cake.

The cake turned out nice and neat and it good for a small party!

Hope they enjoyed the cake!

Rilakuma cupcakes...

An order from a youngest customer I ever had and that is Wayne, my nephew! He wanted a set of cupcakes for his best friend Sophie's birthday and he even went to ask for her favourite character. So sweet of him! And as my Da jie wanted him to learn the value of money, I collected a minimal sum of money from him for the set of cupcakes that he ordered (he borrowed the money from his mother).

He even wrote his own order form below.


So I did the cupcakes accordingly and the birthday girl likes it!


Happy birthday Sophie!


Family at the beach cake....

This is an order from Fione who wanted a beach cake with her whole family on it for his husband's birthday party. She has some specific requirements such as she wanted her figurine to be wearing a one-piece swimsuit, and also specific hair lengths for the girls.

I have watched an online tutorial on molding human and therefore this time round, I tried my hands on it and it certainly looks more human-like although there is still great room for improvement!


Hope Daniel likes the cake and the family enjoys the party!


Fione was happy that the figurines look like them. What do you think?
