Granpa's birthday

Thank you Hema A for giving me a simple brief - a butter cake with lots of icing, for her dad's birthday - Uncle Anandan whom I have known since I was large enough to fit arm floaties around my arms and splash about in the sungai ujong club swimming pool without screaming down the place ;)
Keeping in mind also that everyone Hema spoke to about my cakes were convinced that I had farmed it out to someone else to bake and decorate, I decided to do a sweater cake for him.It was a lot easier than it looked and I am pleased I attempted it ;)

K's 16th

So off to Hong Kong we trouped with a cake all covered in yummmmmy choc fondant and all the flowers and bits all pre-done and sitting pretty in a tupperware.
The security guard at Singapore airport seriously thot he had seen it all when he realised we were carrying a CAKE by hand - let me tell you it was worth it just to see K's reaction to it.
I decided to use K's birthday as fodder for experimentation, and did a fantasy garden theme.
I think it worked wonderfully, other than the fact that the humidity made the cake melt so quick, which is why the flowers look real sticky in the photos - the cake was choc chilli - hot and sweet just like K ;)

TooBusyToBake days

that was the name of my little home run business while I was in London. it was crazy - I worked a full time job, and then for the sake of trying my hand at the business I decided to offer my services to some nurseries in the area.
It proved to be a hit, and even when I had moved to Singapore, I was still getting orders!! it was great fun, and I hope I get the same response soon ??? hint hint hint!!!

some of my other cake endeavours

Thought it would be a good idea to put more cake pics on here so that all could see what I have been doing, and perhaps it might strike a sugary note with you ;)
this is one is a chocolatey chocolate wonder - the flowers and decorations and fondant is all chocolate which I made from scratch for a good doctor's birthday this year.

Then there was the black and white gift box cake that was quick and easy

and lastly the clown cake which was for a little boy's impromptu birthday party!

From 50 to 2

So, like as if the cake fairy decided it was time to visit, I was asked to make a cake for a 2 yr old. The original request was for a Barney cake - but then having a huge Barney that was going to be cut into was probably going to be a bad idea considering Asha loooooovvveeedddd Barney!

so, I thought of Barney and Friends in a hot air balloon. hope you like it!!

flours of a different kind

so yes I know I am the eventful florist - but here is a news flash...
I also do cakes - at least I try to!
if you remember in March I made the wedding cake for the tropical wedding in March.
and I used to run a little cake baking business mainly for children's birthday cakes when I worked a full time job, called Too Busy To Bake.

I have recently been given the opportunity to do more cakes, which is great -
This first one was a corporate order thanks to my champion, Ms Mala P who ordered a huge birthday cake and a bunch of cup cakes to celebrate her boss's birthday with friends of AIA.
The main cake was a Doughnut cake, done in the AIA branding colours, and the cupcakes had all the branding words for AIA.
getting the red icing was quite a feat - but just going by my client's happy response - it was all worth while..
