More Wedding Cakes

It has been so long since I last updated this blog. Thousand apologies. Since my last entry, I have baked more wedding cakes :-

Turquoise green, white and gold wedding cake

I was initially worried about the turquoise green colour for this wedding cake. I was kneading in the colour for two days to get the right colour. Eventually my second daughter said that the colour was lovely and it's the colour that she had always wanted for her bedroom wall.

Each cake was a layer of our classic butter cake and a layer of orange cake.

Pink and white wedding cake

The bride loved our classic butter cake. So her pink and white wedding cake was totally our Classic Butter cake.

The wedding cake at the hall that was beautifully decorated in dark and light pink and silver grey.

The lovely bride and groom about to cut the cake. Such lovely flowers!

Maroon and white wedding cake

This two tier maroon and white wedding cake is our Classic Butter cake as well.

This was the first time that I emboss the cake board (as I learn something new each time).

The cake was safely delivered to the wedding site.

Wedding cakes

When I first decided to pursue my baking hobby as a full time career just over a couple of years ago, I was only baking cupcakes and basic butter or chocolate cakes with no icing. Even then, I only knew how to do simple frosting on my cupcakes with sugar sprinkles. 

Over the years, I have moved on to learn more decorating skills. Nevertheless, my comfort zone has been with small cakes, cupcakes and cookies. When my nephew wanted to get married last year, my sis-in-law gave me the challenge to bake his wedding cake.  It was the first time that I had to bake a large cake (by my standard, the 12 inch base cake was already large). The biggest challenge was to cover the cake with fondant. I had successfully covered the 6 inch cake and the 9 inch cake on first try. But it was only on my third attempt (plus tons of wasted fondant) that I was able to cover the 12-inch cake. It was another series of three for me to remember .. three tiered cakes completed by 3 am and I had only three hours of sleep before heading to the wedding venue with the cakes in tow.

Gold and white wedding cake

This was the completed three tier wedding cake for my nephew. The theme colour was white and gold. The cakes were the Classic Butter, our family all time favourite.

All my efforts made worthwhile when I saw how stunning the wedded couple looked while cutting the cakes... 

Pink and purple wedding cake

I continued learning to cover big cakes from there on. This was a wedding cake that I baked for a friend. She wanted a two tier wedding cake, purple and pink theme. As I had read and learned how to cover bigger cakes by this time, they were successfully covered on first attempt :)

Here's another two tier wedding cake that I baked for a friend's daughter. She wanted a purple wedding cake decorated with orchids.

In conclusion, I would like to share my takeaway from a chapter that I read sometime back in Robin Sharma's book The Greatness Guide where he mentioned this formula "Focus plus daily improvement plus time equals genius." Genius as he mentioned is "what you can excel at. Discover your talents and work like crazy to polish them." I truly believe in continuous learning and improvement. As such, Sharma's formula is stucked in my mind. I still have a long way to go but I have gathered so much joy throughout the journey so far as I am doing something that I love. Are you doing something that you love?

Dora Birthday Cakes

This is our Classic Butter cake that is decorated with edible image of Dora the Explorer. I have piped butter cream icing to cover the cake and for other deco add on.

Hope you had a great birthday celebration at your play school little one!

Here is another Dora cake that I had done. This one is a rainbow cake with Lemony Swiss Meringue Buttercream filling for sweet Eva's birthday :-

This third cake is also our Classic Butter cake, for 3 year old Naily's birthday :)

Birthday cakes for Moms

I love baking cakes for mothers. They are so special and should not be celebrated only on Mother's Day. Somehow, I always want to do a bit extra when someone asks me to bake for his or her mom.


I met this wonderful boy during my last vacation. He has recently requested me to bake a cake for his mom. Today is her birthday. All he mentioned was "I think cream or soft colour would be fine". So I bake a heart shaped cake and decorated it blue, white, and little specks of yellow. This is a one kg butter cake.

Here's another cake that I have baked quite a while back but didn't get the chance to upload before. This cake is for a young mother. So it's the husband who has ordered for her birthday. Hence, the 'butter fingers' hehe :) This is also a one kg butter cake.

Then there is this cake where a mother has requested for her daughter who is also a mother. I can feel the love in the message as I was decorating this butter cake. Just love the love!

Here's a birthday cake for a mother who is also a grandmother. I did the butterflies out of fondant and dust  them lightly with silver just to make them glossy. Another one kg butter cake.

One more cake that I would like to include in this update. One young talented girl has requested me to do a birthday cake for her cool mom who loves yoga.  So, here's a yoga cake! This is our one kg Rich chocolate cake.

Wedding cakes, cupcakes, and cookies

Wedding cakes

School holidays are round the corner and I just did another wedding cake for a hantaran. This one is for a young bride who is still studying. Her marriage is an arranged one, which I find it amazing in these days. But she is a lovely, beautiful and obedient girl. She has informed me that she wanted roses on her cake.. pink and white roses. So, I did this cake for her.

Some of the other wedding cakes and cupcakes that I have done but didn't get the chance to share in this blog.

This cake is covered with fondant and decorated with lilies.

This one is decorated with calla lilies

This is how it looks after being place on one of the hantaran trays.

Green and peach themed wedding cake

and the cupcakes to be given out as wedding favors.

Wedding cupcakes

Pink roses and green theme on these hantaran cupcakes.

Maroon and pink roses on these.. one of my favourite combination of colours.

Peach roses and cream themed hantaran cupcakes

Customer just mentioned that she wanted something pink and white and I did these orchids and hearts cupcakes :)

White and lilac daffodils cupcakes! Another favourite colour combination of mine :)

The theme for these wedding hantaran cupcakes is purple and white. But in the photo, the purple daises turn blue.

These Bride and Groom cupcakes are really cute! The icing on these are buttercream but the heart shapes are made out of fondant.

These cupcakes have carnations that are made out of buttercream

Cookies as wedding favors

These chocolate chip cookies are decorated with edible image of the bride and groom, individually sealed and boxed. They are given out as wedding favors.

These are bite sized chocolate chip cookies that are also given out as wedding favors.

Some customers prefer our regular sized chocolate chip cookies like these as wedding favors.
