My Passion: Part 2 - Cakes

Hmmm... if you make cupcakes, of course, you'll make cakes as well, correct?  Yes, cake mix can be baked into cupcakes too but some cupcake mix cannot be baked into cakes! And, that's a fact.  Well, here's some my cakes that I've been busy baking (actually, not that busy, because there's more requests for cupcakes as compared to cakes!), and that's another fact of my baking life.

As in cupcakes, I bake cakes in the following flavours, Red Velvet, Carrot, Butter and Chocolate cakes.  But, its a little difficult to show the inside of a cake, as I take pictures of the cakes just before I deliver them. So, most times, I do not get to see how the cake looks after its' been cut, except for a few.... So, you'll just have to trust me, as per titles of the cakes. Its really more about the decorations.  All done by Yours Truly, of course! :D


 
This lovely cake was a Red Velvet...

 
A Rainbow cake (basically it Butter Cake)
 
 
Another Rainbow Cake
 
 
 

 
 
These cakes above were Carrot Cakes.
The frosting, everything's that covered the cake, were cream cheese....
 
 
Chocolate Cake, especially when its commissioned for kids, will
always be fun and colorful!
 
 
And, now comes my pride and joy....
The Engagement or Wedding Gifts, or the Hantarans,
where I get to play with fondant dough!
 


 
 
Some were in the form of mini cakes...
 

 
Not all Engagement/Wedding Gift cakes were fondant decorated cakes. 
These were cream cheese or buttercream.

My Passion: Part 1 - Cupcakes

Happy to note that these have been keeping me busy..... and these too, has given me some extra pocket money to enjoy! hehehe.  But most importantly, I just love doing these and its feels great when to get favourable responses to my cakes and cupcakes.  Alhamdulillah, Thank You.  And I will keep doing this for as long as I'm able to and have the passion to do them.

 
 
Above are Red Velvet cupcakes, better known as RVs.


 
Vanilla Butter cupcakes with choice of cream cheese or buttercream toppings.

 
 
Sample of two sets of Carrot cupcakes.  Carrot cupcakes and carrot cakes are myy hubby's personal favourite!
 
 

With edible pictures, Angry Birds on this.  These are seasonal favourites.  There had been Justin Beiber, Justin and Selena Gomez, Minni and Mickey, and the everlasting Princesses.

 
Special request for Golf theme decorations. These were made by hand, freestyle!  Not bad huh?!  I also do chocolate cupcakes, and vanilla (butter) cupcakes.

 
And pretty birthday sets !
 
 
 
Not forgetting, the Engagement and Wedding gift sets or the 'Hantarans',
using fondant decorations.

Ramblings

Well, guess this blogging business is actually still alive. But Facebook and the Twitter has definitely taken over....  I do ALL of my picture uploads into my FB accounts, so its really is troublesome and double work, having to upload the same thing into my blog, don't you think? Well, I think so.  Anyways, my plan is to upload my son's hantarans for the nikah.  Here you go, 7 bekas only.  Keep it simple and sweet.  All personally done by mommy dearest (that's me!).  He he he

Tepak Sirih, not part of the hantaran. But its a must have for people from Perak and since I am from Perak, even if my hubby is from Selangor, the Tepak is a must.  This is the 'pembuka mulut'....

 The Sirih Junjung.  Head of the entourage.  So proud of this arrangements... all fresh.














close up of the roses and pretty florets (can't recall the name), but so pretty.

Tafsiran AlQuran, Sejadah and Tasbih collection.


 
The Wang Hantaran and Mas Kahwin set.


 


The bouquet of mas kahwin.
 

 



Halwa betik, shaped into roses.








 
Handbag and a pair of shoes for the bride.

 
 

The bride and groom.....

Hello Again !

Its been so so long....  my son is married.  17 June 2012! We had a wonderful, so did the happy couple and their friends. They nearly burned the place down, didn't burn anything but literally brought down the wedding dais backdrop!  hehehe...   no-one was hurt, and the backdrop was placed back quite easily!


 And a couple of months before the wedding, my dear niece gave birth to a pair of twins, a girl and a boy! This is a second pair of twins in my family..... wow.  Cuties those two, now about 3 months old I think. On the left is Aydan, and on the right with the spiky hair is Aeris.
