Life Story Birthday Cake

This is a very special cake to me – it was ordered by a special friend of mine, to mark someone special’s 60th birthday! A unique cake was required for this special person, as the interesting and beautiful life story of this birthday boy was recounted to me. That is what inspired the design of the cake - a cake that tell the life story of the birthday “boy”!

Everyone has a story, what’s yours? I would love to hear it!

Here’s some of the illustration of his life story….

can you guess what building is this?

Last but not least the handmade figurine of the birthday boy!!

Peppa Pig…Oink oink!! Peppa Pig!!

I was so excited when I received the order to do a "Peppa Pig" themed cake. My munchkin loves Peppa Pig so I was pretty familiar with this cute little piggie!


This is the cake for the beautiful Chloe who turned 2-years old last week. All of the figurines you see are handmade!! Obviously, Chloe loves Peppa Pig. Her lovely mum even designed this cake with me. It was my pleasure dealing with  Chloe's mum, who not only liked my cake art, but also understands and appreciates the effort that goes into each of our unique and customised designs.


Happy birthday, little Chloe!!! I believe you were spoilt by your parents and I hope you enjoyed the cake!
Now the theme song of Peppa Pig is playing in my head...Peeeeeppa Pig, Peeeppa Pig!!!

well….OINK OINK!!

First cake in 2013!!

Time flies! couldn’t believe h tChristmas and new year holidays have passed and I am back with my 1st cake in 2013!!!

I have the honour to make a simple sweet cake for Caitlyn. Her sweet mummy specified a cake with Caitlyn and her little bunny soft toy together with their two darling pet bunnies at home. I customised the figurine of Caitlyn based on a photograph of her.

Blessed birthday Caitlyn! I am sure you had a great day of pampering by your parents.

Simple Fullmoon cake with painting

I know I really should stop baking till next year but this is a last minute, urgent request order from a friend for her son’s Full Moon celebration party.

For those of you wondering what this Full Moon celebration means, according to Chinese custom, when a baby turns one month old, a ceremony is held to celebrate her first month of life (the Chinese term translates as "full moon"). This coincides with the end of the new mom's confinement period and both mom and baby are formally introduced to the extended family and friends for the first time.

Before the unveiling party, the baby traditionally undergoes a host of rituals. Once that is over, a party is held to celebrate the health of the baby. Relatives and friends gather to give their blessings and gifts to the new baby, and traditional treats such as ang ku kueh and red eggs are featured.

Due to time constraint I decided to make a simple design cake with painting on it. I adore the illustration from Rachelle Anne Miller so decided to use one of her family series illustration in the painting. Thanks to Rachelle for giving the permission to use her lovely work.

I love painting so it comes quite natural for me and it meant the cake was finished in time for the party. Happy 1 month old Ashton!! May the goodness of God shines on you always

Stiletto shoes box cake

From the cake designer to shoes cobbler!!!

I had the amazing opportunity to join Verusca Walker’s class to learn Stiletto shoes in August and now had the perfect opportunity to put into practice what I have learned.

I made this cake especially as a birthday present for my best mate.

She wants RED shoe, so I got her some! The shoes design was copied from Verusca.
It’s all edible but I know my dearest friend will keep the shoe as a display piece instead.

I still have lot of area for improvement but I was glad with the way it turned out!
This mark the last cake for the year for me!!! Till then, my kitchen is closed until next year!!! Time for me to rest!!

Ella’s Christening cake

Remember the dragon baby Full Moon cake I did recently for Ella? Now I had the opportunity to make one for her Christening! Her lovely parents left the design up to me. After some thought, I decided to try out one of the cake design from Debbie Brown’s baby cakes. I love the cakes in that book!!

This is a simplified version of the block cake based on Debbie Brown’s book. 

I especially love the bunny Thanks ML & Sue for giving me the honor of making Ella’s Christening cake!!

Lightning Mcqueen theme birthday cake

Boys and cars!! I reckon  all boys love car!! In the last week alone, I made 2 car themed cakes for 2 birthday boys. This week, I had the honor to make a Lightning Mcqueen theme cake, one of the more popular cars themes among the kids!!

I have fun trying a few decorating technique in this cake.
This Lightning Mcqueen topper was firstly carved out from styrofoam, then covered with fondant for decoration and finally, I applied the detail and touch up. I have to say I was quite pleased with the result..

I even customised the Cars logo with the birthday boy’s name.

Happy birthday, Jaden!!! I am sure you will have a great birthday party with your lovely parents. Hope you enjoy your cake.

Hoot! Hoot!

This cake was made for Zach, the birthday boy whom I just made the teddy bear picnic cupcake towers for. His lovely mommy organised a birthday party for him on the weekend with the cupcake tower and then had another celebration on the actual birth date with another cake. What a blessed child!!!

The cake design is a duplica of the Hoot cake from Blissfully Sweet as requested by Zach's mum.
Thanks Jacki for giving me the permission to copy your cake design!
I’m pleased that Zach and his family enjoy the cake and the little birthday boy was happy to see the hoot hoot on his birthday cake

Special shoes for the man in my life

This is a very special cake for the man in my life who loves sport shoes!!!

Always the shoes he likes are all so beyond my budget (yes he has really high taste with shoes!!!), so I rarely can afford to get him one. This year though despite of the hectic schedule I decided to make him a cake in the form of shoes he likes.

I decided to just make a small cake since we have been loaded with a lot of cakes recently. So this shoes cake is in kids size 4. This is my 1st attempt of shoes cake. When he shown me the photos of the shoes he likes – NIKE Kobe VII 7 WBF, at first glace it looks quite a simple design, but when I zoom in the detail, I was shocked to find out this shoes has so much of detail from its textures to its shoes laces!!! It took me quite sometimes to put up the detail but I’m quite happy with the end result.

Happy and  blessed birthday darling! This is the only “shoes” close to your dream shoes that I can afford for now!! Hope you like it  

Teddy bear picnic cupcake tower

I did Zach birthday cake last year and can’t believe he is turning 2 now!! This year his lovely mummy chosen a lovely theme for his birthday party - Teddy bear picnic.

A small cutting cake with mini teddy bear theme cupcakes on the DIY cupcake stand (yes I do hire DIY cupcake stand that customised based on the birthday theme!!)

Cupcakes design is the duplicate from Hey there, Cupcake! as per requested by customer.

Top cutting cake is also inspired by Hey there, Cupcake!

Rose bouquet wedding cake

It had a rather interesting caking week this week doing totally different theme cakes. The former is a kid’s theme birthday cake and this is a elegant wedding cake.

This is my latest wedding cake. Design is inspired by Bella Cupcakes (Vanessa Iti).

Bouquet on the top tier is based on bridal’s bouquet and the diamond buckle in the middle tier is a similar buckle in bridal gown.

This is one of the cakes that I spent a lot of time on it mainly due to the rose bouquet. This rose bouquet on the top tier is based on bridal’s bouquet. It is all handmade and there are over 80 roses in that bouquet!! I’m glad that it turns out as what I want it to be, so all the effort has been paid off.

And this is my first time playing with stencil! It is rather messy to begin with but I have learned a few tips throughout the process. Hopefully in near future I can try out more stencil design on the cake and can achieve even better result.

Oh, did I mention that this is not a real cake? All the 3 tiers are dummy cakes as per request by the bride.

This 3 tiers dummy wedding cake is for hire as well! If you are under budget for your wedding cake but would love to have a beautiful elegant cake for cake cutting ceremony and display, you can consider hiring this cake from me and perhaps with some kitchen cakes to serve!

Tinkerbell cake for the fairy girl

This sweet little girl whom I have seen her growing up – Amelie is 4 now!!! Time flies!!

Her lovely parents were having a party to celebrate for her. The birthday requested a fairy them party and her lovely mommy asked me for help to do her a tinkerbell fairy theme cake.

The birthday girl chose the design of the cake, and I did some modification to come out this fairy cake design for her. The plastic fairies cake toppers are provided by the mommy.

Blessed birthday sweet girl!!! It’s so happy to see you enjoyed your birthday party today. May you continue to shine brighter than the fairies in your life to bring glory to God.

The return of Spiderman!

I have the chance to do Spiderman theme birthday order again but this time is cake instead of cupcakes. Have a pleasure to deal with a wonderful mom to design the cake for the lovely birthday boy.

The design of the cake is inspired by Sweet Picasso Cake Creations.

Top tier is red velvet with white chocolate ganache. Bottom tier is chocolate buttercake with dark chocolate ganache.

I have the pleasure to meet up with the lovely mum and the gorgeous birthday boy who say thanks to me for making his cake when I sent the birthday cake over. What a polite gorgeous boy he is!!!

I’m even thrilled to receive the thank you email from Caroline (the lovely mom of the birthday boy) to thank me for the cake and they love it!!! This is the best reward for me!!

Thank you so much for giving me the honour to do your boy’s birthday cake Caroline!! Hope to be able to make you more beautiful cake in future.

Have a blessed 4 years old little Joshie!!

Cakes back in April–outdated post

I just realised that I did a few more cakes back in April which I yet to posted out.

As I have a few back to back orders that time, time was limited for me. These are the few cakes that didn’t have time to take a proper photos but just a quick one with iphone.

This Thomas the train theme cake was special diet cake. I didn’t do special diet cake, this is the exceptional for my friend’s boy who turned 3. The mountain was craved out from the cake with birthday boy’s 2 favourite train figurines.

This was the 1st birthday cake with plane them and the birthday boy’s mom wanted the topper with the birthday boy in the plane. It was a tall cupcake tower set with matching cupcakes design. However, I didn’t manage to capture any except for the cake. Hope to be able to receive some photos from the customer one day.
