Golf Themed Cuppies

Golf themed cupcakes ordered by Kak Niza on behalf of her sister-in-law, who was celebrating her husband's birthday who is a golf enthusiast. A box of red velvets and another box of cookie crumble cupcakes.

Mampu buat simple ajer sebab last minute, tapi Kak Hajar puas hati, alhamdulillah.

THE LIPLICKIN' XMAS SHOW

Made these cuties for Christmas promotion, which I should have promoted earlier actually :D

































I made only 3 boxes of these xmas cuppies, not much but enough to make me lose sleep and break my back. In addition to the 48++ red velvets, I also received an order of 2 carrot cake filled to the brim with raisin mix, pineapples, walnuts, almonds & hazelnuts. Utterly scrumptious but unfortunately, no pics!




Many thanks to the lovelies, Peggy & Kak Annaliza. I'm eternally grateful that you guys & your guests love the cuppies.

DAISY CHAIN


Posted by Picasa

Lovely daisies ordered by Azrina of PapaKeeChee. The sample photo she included was just a lonely daisy atop a cupcake (well, a mini cake actually) so I jazzed it up a little with some lacey effect on the edges. Looks kinda good, right?

Flavour was vanilla peach. Thanks so much dear for the generous order. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your adik-adik's wedding. Melepas nak jumpa hero hindustan you yang hensem tu :D

VIOLET




The Violet
by Miss Landon
The Lady's Book of Flowers and Poetry, 1842

Why better than the lady rose,
Love I this little flower?
Because its fragrant leaves are those
I loved in childhood's hour.
Though many a flower may win my praise,
The Violet has my love;
I did not pass my childish days
In garden or in grove:
My garden was the window seat,
Upon whose edge was set
A little vase, the fair, the sweet,
It was the Violet.
It was my pleasure and my pride:
How I did watch its growth!
For health and bloom what plans I tried,
And often injured both.
I placed it in the summer shower,
I placed it in the sun;
And ever, at the evening hour,
My work seem'd half undone.
The broad leaves spread, the small buds grew;
How slow they seem'd to be:
At last there came a tinge of blue,
'Twas worth the world to me.

AMIRA & AZMY

I love the fact that cakes are legitimate gifts at any kind of celebration - especially weddings.

So I made the cake below for a wedding of a VIP's daughter. Rosewater marbled butter cake (no pistachio, out of stock). Sajalah suka-suka kan. Nak bagi hadiah mahal2 takde bajet :D

A cake like this when they've already have their own for as wedding and hantaran cakes? Why not?  An extra cake would always be appreciated, methinks. Most weddings I've been to, the cakes were rarely passed around to the guests after the cake cutting ceremony. If the cake is modest in size, it will be rushed into the house after the cut, which is meant to be saved to family members after the event. Sometimes, as a compensation, guests will get a cupcake or a muffin as wedding favours.

Tapi cupcake/muffin tu biarlah lebih kurang sama kualitinya macam wedding cake yang gah tu. If not, tak payahlah buat cake cutting ceremony depan guests semua. Buat je belah malam ke or any other time, just a small ceremony among family members or small circle of friends.

Or... or or or, do guests really expect to see the bride and groom to cut the cake, and NOT expect to get a piece? Is it just me who feels disappointed when I don't get to taste the cake?

Isk, membebel pulak. Anyway, this is just my two cents (one cent pun tak laku kot). No offense to anyone. But I don't know, is there a code of conduct for cake cutting ceremonies in our culture?
