I'll Be Loving You Always...

Marlina ordered this set for her cousin who was getting married last week. Thanks Marlina!


Black, red and white themed cuppies. Sexy or not?



I noticed that when I have a cupcake project, I'm always thinking of a song to suit my mood to be able to come up with my creations, as simple as they may seem. But a theme songs helped me get through the tedium of a long night in the kitchen.

This week, Mr. Stevie Wonder kept me company.


As around the sun the earth i see's revolving
and the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
cos this hates knows love's the cure
you can rest your mind a sure
that i'll be loving you always

now every vail the mystery of tomorrow
but in something we'll grow older everyday
just as all these things are new
you know what i say is true
that i'll be loving you always

Chrous
(until the rainbow burns out the stars in the sky)
always!
(until the ocean convers every mountain high)
Always!
(until the darkness covers everything i see)
Always!
(until dream of light and light becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love adds to nothing
Her acceptance is a wining gain
Did you know that life is giving love again
to last you forever and another day

Just as time has had to move on since the begining
and the seasons know exactly when to change
just as kindess knows no shame
but goes through all your joy and pain
I'll be loving you always

as the day i learn i'm living by tomorrow
that makes me the past but i musn't fear
but i know deep in my mind
the love of me i've left behind
cos i'll be loving you always...

Jong Jong Inai

It was a busy and eventful week for me. I had orders lining up, tonnes of paperwork and chores to do amongst other responsibilities. And to top it off, I had a minor accident while walking to the back of my house to get my dry laundry last Thursday. I won't get into the details but here's a clue anyway, it was a case of 'Jong Jong Inai'. If you know how the rhyme goes (not the hiphop song ah), you'll know what happened to me :)

Anyway, the show must go on. So many people getting engaged, the most important person  which was my dear adik angkat Cik Apple Mint. No matter how exhausted and incapable I felt to go on with this cake, I soldiered on and luckily got some help from my aunt (who is Cik Apple Mint's mak angkat) to rearrange the sugar flowers bouquet for me.

All I had to do was bake the most gorgeous moist chocolate cake, ice it, roll out the fondant and cover the cake (not easy to keep it pristine white!) and trim the edges with a butterfly ribbon. All done by limping all over the kitchen and my work table. Now I know how an orang kelainan upaya feels :(  Allah baru uji sikit...



Simple cake jer ye dik, nama pun sponsor... :D


What a way to end such a crazy week. Balik rumah lepas makan kenduri (nasi putih, gulai ikan kering, ikan talang masin & ulam jer tapi terbaeeeek punyalah! opps lupa, also got bihun goreng straight from the kawah gilababas punya best) terus tidor terbongkang and finally had time to put my injured foot up to recuperate!

For Cik Apple Mint

These were for my adik angkat, Cik Apple Mint.


Since she loves apples so much, I made Sweet Avalon - apples and cinnamon cupcakes. I'd love to combine apples and mint, just like the nickname of si tuan punya badan but..... bukan si tuan punya badan yang nak makan kan... I don't want her bakal mentua to sumpah seranah me! Apa punya combination flavour daaa....



Simple je dik. Kawin nanti nanti Kak Anne buat grand-grand sikit lagi ye. 2-3 tahun lagi kan... sempat la akak nak kutip skill... hehe!

I'd Like To K.I.S.S

Yes I do. Keep It Sweet and Simple. That's what I said. What did you think I meant?



Thank you again Kak Munirah! This hantaran set was for her niece's engagement. Eh, last week kan dah bertunang? Noooo... last week si adik bertunang, this week the kakak pulak.

Booyah!

This cake is a case of order-harini esok-nak, yet again. Well, being in this business to for more than a year, I probably should know better, but what the heck. I'm going to make a set of hantaran cuppies for Kak Munirah again, so takkan nak selit one cake for her anak bujang sorang pun tak boleh kan? It won't be fair coz previously I made the birthday cakes for her other son and daughter, and this time the birthday boy wanted the exact same cake as the sister's. Takkan tak boleh kan?

Boleh, tapi rupe macam ini ajer ler...



For Mubin yang gila computer games, Happy Birthday!

Cuddly Friendly SS Monsters



These four lil' Sesame Street monster were for Hafizah. I don't usually take orders for just 4 cuppies, but since she insisted and it was her birthday, I gave in. Kesian lak rasanya nak menolak hajat orang.

These are vanilla cupcakes filled with strawberry and blueberry filling.

She came all the way from KL, singgah Penang, then from Penang, came to Seberang Jaya to meet me at Tesco Extra before she was off to Perlis. Quite a journey huh?
Dear Fizah, thank you so much and hope you had the loveliest birthday :D
