Gong Xi Gong Xi

Celebration time! I don't think I'll have the time to make CNY fondant cuppies promo this time. Boohoohoo... but we'll see. CNY is only a few days away.



These are made for Nadia, rosewater & pistachio cupcakes. I hope she likes it :D

Green Green Grass Of Home

Kak Hajar's (again!) latest order last week, this time for makan-makan just for her and kids. She said her kids tak puas-puas lagi makan coz the previous orders, most of the cupcakes were given away to family and friends.

These three boxes are for them alone - no more sharing!


Kak Hajar specifically requested I make green grasses to top of her red velvets. Her own words were "Entah, akak rasa segaaar je bila makan." Hehe, macam-macam. She also instructed me to just make simple designs, coz these are pretty last minute too. Today order, esok nak! *pengsan*


10 pcs in Choc Mod Mint and 15 Lemony Snickett's.


She wanted grasses too, so I added some flowery details, just to sweeten them up a bit. The previous cuppies I made for her were rather neutral and boyish (the Liverpool & golf cuppies in the previous posts)

Oops, there was another box of Cookie Crumble cupcakes which I've forgotten to snap pics of, but you already know how they look like, right?

Sunny Skies & Garden Friends

Rina of Papakeechee requested a very colourful themed cuppies to be shared with her friends at the office. As you can see from her blog, she has a thing for bright colours, coz she is a colourful character herself. Tak main la pastel-pastel, mellow-sallow like me, hehe.


















25 small sized rosewater & pistachio cuppies.

I admit that my drawing skills still needs a lot of improvement. But Rina didn't seem to mind, as she blogged about the cuppies here.























Thanks a bunch, Rina!

P/S: Rina'a having a giveaway at her stitching blog at Sinfully Stitched. Don't miss out on joining coz she has an awesome hand-stitched bag up for grabs!

Free Themed Cuppies

These are part of Kak Hajar's order the other day. She instructed me to just make simple cuppies coz right after I delivered her two boxes of cuppies, she ordered FOUR more to be delivered the next day! *pengsan*



A box of cookie crumble cuppies. She likes 'em with this simple-yet-yummy look.



I recommened the Lemony Snickett's - lemon cuppies with cream cheese. They loved it!



Choc Mod Mint - to satisfy Kak Hajar's hubby's craving for something cool & breezy.

Thanks so much Kak Hajar!

Football Craze

If there's something in this universe that I'm least interested in, football would be it.

I mean, despite Sir's countless attempts to enlighten me about the concept of 'off-side', I could never get it.

But ooh, the things I'd do for the sake of 'football'.

I'd pay that RM20-something extra for the sports channel.

I'd tolerate 90 minutes mindlessly watching 22 men chasing after 1 ball, only paying attention when a goal is scored. Just to be with my man.

Sometimes, I'd even admire the art behind that skillful victorious kick or header.

And I'd definitely make these beauties again for a very generous customer and her large family, even on a very short notice. Thank you so much Kak Hajar, who celebrated her son, Hadi's 23rd birthday. It was such a pleasure to meet you.
























Red velvet with cream cheese frosting























I had a creative block on how to decorate the cuppies, so Sir suggested I drew the lines of a padang bola :D

SMTBw Reunion Cake

My friend Lili sponsored 25s Perfectly Chocolatey Cupcakes and a small cake for her sister's school reunion.

Lagi-lagi last minute job! Just look at the school logo. Apa kebendanya pun taktau... asal ada rupa logo asal jadi ler. Itu pun Lili and the rest of the alumni complimented that the cake looks and tastes great.

Thanks a bunch Lili and adik-adik! It feels so good when your hard work is appreciated.






Very simple choc cuppies with minimal design. Budget mah...
