The Lion & The Pig!

2009-12-11T13:25:00.000+08:00

Hello all! I'm back and it's been busy as soon as i got back! Oh well... i think it's because i'm inefficient that's why work always seem to be piling up! Never ending! And the hot weather is really killing me...

Anyway... something new to share. I while back, i received and order requesting for me to do "A cute piggy presenting a present for a lion" - as usual, I will not ask much about the story behind! I found this theme really cute and i'm sure the story behind it will be even cuter :P

The result

i did not have the heart to do a fierce lion

and the very cute pig

I hope it was a great birthday celebration!

hello!

2009-12-06T10:36:00.002+08:00

Greetings from down under! I'm currently in Perth attending my cousin's wedding and i've been really busy! I know many of you have been emailing and I have been glancing through them but i've yet to be able to find the time to sit down and reply any of you.

Please be patient. For January orders, I'll definitely be able to do it. December... most dates are quite full but i will try to squeeze u in! Will try to respond to all by 8th or 9th Dec.

As for Christmas orders...... this is what i'll do. I think i can only take in about 10-15 orders for christmas but NO i will not be pre-designing them. I'd rather do all different designs. So, for those of you interested, if you can just email me a rough idea what u'd like... it can be winter wonderland, or all the cutest christmas stuffs - rudolf, santa, gingerbread man, and the list goes on! If u'd like to see some samples, look up for 2008's christmas design!

Until then, have a great sunday and a great week ahead!

Can't wait to go home! I am really missing Penang after being away for so long!

Perfect Hi-tea Cupcakes

2009-11-29T22:19:00.001+08:00

When i was asked to do this initially.. I thought it was going to be really challenging - it's not my cuppa tea to do pretty elegant stuffs... i think i'm more of the cute-sy stuffs... but nevertheless, i love challenges!

The theme was english tea pots & cups...

Happy birthday again Kher Sing!

Thanks for always challenging me to my very max and it's been really great to know you!

For someone who loves to travel

2009-11-28T12:29:00.001+08:00

Jerry is back! And that means one year has passed! He ordered a cake for the brother who loves to travel and this year... he wants cuppies instead of a cake...

So, each cuppy is to represent a country which the brother has been to!

Guess away what each of these cuppy represents!

i hope it's obvious enough for u to guess :P

Happy Birthday Peter!

Hope it was a great celebration...

Sheepy love

2009-11-26T11:56:00.001+08:00

Another order i had so much fun with! Lately, i've been really enjoying creating all my creations for all my customers... I guess they are all just so inspiring that i'm so highly motivated! yay!

This order was for a customer in KL also... :) I'll let the pic tell the story...

with cutesy lady bugs

and bees buzzing ard

and the 2 sheep deeply in love

she wants to thank her other half for being in her life... and how sweet is this!?

very often, we expect our partners/friends/families to KNOW we appreciate them but do they?

sometimes, indirectly, we take each other fore-granted without intending to...

when was the last time u thank the person most important to u for just being themselves?

and for accepting YOU as YOU are...!?

i personally feel that we as human being, tend to look at one's negative side more than their positive side... i for one constantly struggles to remind myself to realize how blessed i am and not to feel all those unnecessary 'negativity'...

may this pair of lovey dovey sheep spread its love to all of YOU!

just looking at them makes me so happy!

i hope u will too :) *wink*

60th Birthday Celebration

2009-11-26T09:01:00.000+08:00

This is an order for my dear friend Evonne. Her boyfriend's mom is celebrating her 60th birthday and i was asked to bring this order down to kl for her :) Hence... i 'hand' delivered them!

notice how the flowers are purple here..... this pic was taken while i was still in penang...

along the 3-4 hr drive to kl... the colour changed into...

blue!! But the best part is this... my friend thought her fave colour was purple hence the theme of white & purple but it turns out... her fave colour is actually blue! :)

Finally, the cake is all nicely set up ready for the dinner celebration!

Thanks bonnie for giving me the honor to be apart of this! :)

Fun time in the pool!

2009-11-26T10:54:00.000+08:00

Another fun order for a girl's birthday! According to her mom, she loves to swim with her bestfriend... :) hence the theme of fun in the pool!

Happy birthday again Ashley!

FHM 2009

2009-11-24T10:06:00.001+08:00

I recently attended my first FHM. It's one of the biggest exhibition in Malaysia! I just wanted to see what it's all about and since most of my baking buddies in KL are going.. I did not want to miss out!

Here are some of the pics taken...

this is my dear friend, mamamin who is doing a demo on a naughty cake

oohhh la la!

this was a piece mamamin did for earlier demo

and voila it's done!

and then we had a special concoction down specially for us! very refreshing!

and Eurochef had such a big counter! Everything they displayed is so nice!

love these...

and this...

and these are some of the display stuffs we found from another stall

(sorry but this is quite some months back and i cant remember the details much)

and i really enjoyed this teh tarik guy... he had quite a big crowd watching his acts

he was posing for me :P

and he added the intensity to make it fun-ner for us spectators

This is one fun gadget tho i'd prefer it the traditional way still... this is a satay maker!

This trip of mine to kl has been quite a hectic one. So, upon entering the halls, i could smell coffee already and when i saw that it was Boncafe... i was super excited! and we were there in time for them to show us their coffee art (which i really like) and we can get free cups of brew coffee! Need i say more?

Some of the coffee art:

i love this! It looks like clouds of love..

And this is the artist behind the beautiful coffee art and he's preparing a cuppa coffee just for me!

Some of the cake art we saw there:

so pretty, right?

All in all... i went twice and had fun! Of course it has a lot to do with the free food samples that we get to sample!

Happy "ELE" versary!

2009-11-24T11:52:00.000+08:00

It's funny how anniversary meant the world when you first start a relationship but as the years go by... it becomes less and less important. Is it because it has been taken for-granted? Or is it because we expect one another to "understand"? Shouldn't it be more and more precious the longer we are together?

That said... i get really excited to do anniversary cakes/cupcakes! Especially for those who've been together or married for a long time!

This is from a daughter to their parents - very thoughtful :)

2 ele intertwined in love

congratulations!

Happy Family

2009-11-23T12:51:00.000+08:00

I am really honored to do take this order simple because I'm indirectly apart it!

A year plus ago, I had the honor to create their wedding cupcakes... and now they have a happy little family! They recently had the cutest addition to their family! And for daddy's birthday, mommy requested for a set of cuppies!

happy birthday and congratulations to the happy family!

Mr & Mrs Devil

2009-11-23T12:29:00.000+08:00

This is a very cute & pretty order... The theme was mr & mrs devil and i was asked to duplicate this 2 adorable figures! Definitely not devil-ish to me :P

introducing to u... mr devil!

and mrs devil!

may your love continue to bloom forever & ever!

This picture was actually taken during my previous trip to Perth in June 2009. I'm back here again with my granny to visit my aunt and cousins plus to attend my cousin's wedding!

Am enjoying the break, with extra time to organize my pictures and blog! I promise to blog at least 1 post daily for the next 2 weeks!! So much to share...

Get ready for lots of updates!

i had so much fun with these little teddies :)

and finally, each individually packed and ready to be delivered!
