Introducing to you... the new members of love-a-cupcake!

These little figurines (2"x 2") are the new members of love-a-cupcake. You can choose which figures you like as your toppers. You can also customize them (ie: A family of duckeys, a pair of love birds, etc..) according to what you have in mind.

Also, you can just order these toppers and bake yourself! This is just an option for those who wants to personalize your 'gift' :) 

But as usual, send in your order and I will quote you... 

Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!

My 1st Competition :)

Recently, I participated in a competition. My very first competition. I did not have much time to prepare for it because I was leaving for Australia. But motivated by the fact that I have always wanted to give mini wedding cakes a try... I did it, submitted and had very limited internet connection after that. I only had internet connection few days before the voting ends and was very surprised I was amongst the few who are in the lead! Hehehe... Overall it was a great experience! 

We are allowed to submit 2 entries per person. Here are mine :) 

Entry No. 1: Mr & Mrs

One of the challenge was for us to do a 'pair' mini cake... And this is my version of a 'pair'! This piece won 2nd Place! Yeah!

Entry No 2: The Reality of Marriage

This is kinda inspired by the fact that I was about to celebrate my 4 years wedding anniversary and seriously, to me, there's 2 inter-related sides to a marriage. In order to grow the relationship, both have gotta be ready to struggle and overcome all obstacles together. It's not all love and fairytale. By being able to overcome those obstacles together... your love will then continue to grow! And this, is a lifetime commitment. 
But that's what makes a marriage exciting, right? hehehe

This piece won 4th Placing! I was very happy both my submissions won :) Thanks to all who voted!

Robots Attacked!!!

I received this order a while back to make 200 boxes of robots. Each robot is made up of 3 cupcakes. Meaning a total of 600 cupcakes. At first, I thought hmm... 2-d robots shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Should be fine. Just need to mass produce. I start weeks in advance but still struggled like crazy.... It's never ending... I had dozens of styrofoam filled with robot parts lying all over. Storing them was a challenge too.... but luckily over-comed!

I'll let the pictures do the story telling....
