Full Moon Cuppies

A loving and sweet auntie order some cuppies to celebrate her nephew’s full moon celebration. 8 cuppies with baby boy related toppers.

   

New Attempt

I received an order from my lovely neighbour to do half a dozen of non diary cupcakes to celebrate some friends birthday. No specific design were requested except for the initial of the 3 birthday “babies”.

I came across a nice vintage style of scrapbook design while thinking about the design I want to do for these cupcakes. I thought I would try to apply the same concept for these cupcakes design and try out painting on the fondant.

This is the 1st design layout with the initial of the birthday “babies” on the 3 cupcakes.

I particularly like this design.

These are the cupcakes with the initial

I want to put the “Happy birthday” wording on the cupcakes as well. With the 1st design I can’t find of a way to squeeze the wordings in.

After some thought, this is the final design that I came out with.  I am very glad that they like the cupcakes.

I hope you like the design as well.

My daughter’s 1st birthday cake

Time flies, my daughter already turn one!!! I was very tight up with my office work this week that I didn’t really have much time to prepare her birthday cake. While trying to figure out what type of cake I can do within a day, I came across Delectable blog and saw this simple yet unique cake so I decided to make it for her first birthday cake.

This is dark chocolate mud cake sandwich with fresh cream and decorated with some flower. The girl’s figurine on top of the cake is from Precious moment (I love precious moments by the way, so happy to be able to make one for my daughter!!). It supposed to be my daughter with her sleep pal, Eeeyoer, but it didn’t turn out like her.

I used the rest of the mud cake batter to make some cupcakes that form her name.

                                      Close up view of the figurine. 

I made another 8 vanilla cupcakes and decorated with the hand made figurines of her favourite toys. I did it a night before the party so was quite rush, as a result they didn’t turn out well :(

These are her real favourite toys

And these are the figures on the cuppies.

The whole set of cake and cupcakes decorated on the glass cake stand. I called this theme as “Esrene and her favourite toy” Despite of the simplicity of the mud cake, I am quite happy with the result. Personally I love mud cake with fresh cream cause I am not the fan of fondant.

So this will be the new addition of my cake in the menu!!! 3 tiers mud cake with fresh cream!!!

Vegie Tales Birthday Cuppies

I have the honour to made Josiah’s 1st birthday cupcakes. Josiah is just a few weeks older than Esrene, my daughter. Still remember when Lena and I were pregnant at the same time and counting down our days for delivery. Now our babies already turn 1. Time really flies!!

Anyway, Lena wants Vegie Tales characters for the cupcakes. This is Josiah’s favourite show. Lena gave me a list of characters in Vegie Tales that Josiah are familiar with. So here comes the Vegie Tales for the birthday boy!

                         “ The pirates who do nothing” top cutting cake

                       the back of the cake with the pirate map

                     accompany by 6 more Vegie Tale characters

Those cupcakes with Vegie Tales characters are diary, egg, wheat, gluten free chocolate mud cupcakes especially for the birthday boy.

This is the look of the cupcakes arrangement.

Below are some of the amazingly nice photos taken by Keng (Lena’s husband). Thanks a lot Keng for such a nice photos, you are indeed very good with photography.

Animal Parade Cuppies

This is a dated post. This order was 2 weeks ago. I was waiting for some photos from friends to get it posted as I didn’t manage to capture much photos for the cakes again!

Received an order from a loving mom from my mothers’ group to do some cupcakes for her son’s 1st birthday. She wanted different types of animals in the cupcakes, so I came out with 11 types of animals all together, I called these animal parade theme cupcakes :D

Regret to say that I didn’t have time to take much photos for these cupcakes. I had two orders to rush on the same day and was tie up with my professional work. These are the few cupcakes that I managed to capture during the birthday party itself.

These are marble cupcakes.

              There are happy penguins - inspired by Sue from Delectable              Cutie elephants - inspired by Weennee from Love-a-cupcakes                              and the hip hip hip, hippopotamus

             the lovely cows – inspired by Kylie Lambert from Le Cupcakes

                 the faithful doggy on the non diary chocolate mud cupcake

    the sweet Westie (a special request from the customer for her lovely sister)

       The cute sheepo inspired from Delectable. Thanks Crystal for the photo

                       the tired giraff – inspired by Dulce Decoracion

and the main character charming Prince Frog!!! (on the non diary chocolate mud cake)

                 The animals are in the parade on the 3 tiers cupcakes stand!!

            The wordings on the stars written “Happy Birthday Jonathan”

There are other animals figures but I didn’t mange to capture them all :(

I hope I got the chance to do the animal themes cupcakes again and capture them down.

By the way, Happy birthday Jonathan!!!

Alfro Ken on the move!

My dear friend Angie wanted some birthday cupcakes done for her lovely daughter Natalie’s 3rd birthday. Natalie loves Alfro Ken, so Angie wanted the cake with Alfro Ken on it. After some discussion, I came out the draft design for buttercream base cupcakes. I get the inspiration of the design from Love-A-Cupcake. This is my first time doing fully butter cream base cupcakes. Glad that it turns up fine.

It was quite challenging to do the Alfro Ken hair especially the one with rainbow colour. It took me quite sometimes to do that. The rest of the design are pretty straight forward.

It’s a boy!

My boss wanted to order some cupcakes for his family. I thought since they are expecting a baby boy soon in a month’s time, why not I do a baby theme cupcakes! I got some inspiration from The Sweet Spot, then I dig out my daughter’s baby stuffs and here’s the design I came out with:

baby blocks

rubber ducky (my daughter’s favourite)

Baby Booties (the new type of booties, my daughter has one)

 

Rattle (finally I did a rattle since my business name is Sugar Rattle!!)

A baby boy under the blanket

Bib (this is made according to my daughter’s plastic bib)

Disposable nappies (my husband said they look more like towels :( )

There’s the whole 9 cupcakes look. All are buttercream base except for the baby boy cupcake which I cover it with white chocolate fondant.

Boss said it is a bit too early for the baby theme cupcakes, but hope he and his family like them.
