UPDATES

Assalamualaikum & Hello everyone!

It has been a hectic few months for me, so forgive me for not updating much on this blog. Truth is, it's easier to make updates via Facebook and a lot of customers reach me through FB too. The picture albums there are more organized, so head over there for much easier viewing of my previous work, OK.


Now, I've never mentioned it here, but I can also provide special dietary cakes and cupcakes. So if you're in Penang and looking for something vegan (eggless & dairy-free) or gluten-free (no flour) or sugarless/sugar-free, do shoot me an email and we'll talk.

Deliveries to Penang Island and surrounding areas is still available, but due to rising costs, I'll have to increase the delivery charge. You would understand, right? The fuel, time, energy, not to mention, vehicle maintenance, and the worst of all, traffic jams - they can just zap you dry :)

Hugs & kisses to all my loyal customers. Love you guys lots!

A slice of rainbow for Aisy!

I was feeling bored one day, so a sure way to cure boredom (for me at least) is to google around, and most of the times, I'll stumble upon a customer's blog which I didn't know exist and I get excited reading their feedback.

This is the cake I made for Syuhada a while back.. OK OK, a very very long time ago actually!



Found some nice family pics at Syuhada's blog which I hope she doesn't mind me sharing. I so love cake cutting pics!

Cookies & Cream Cake for Ayah

This simple cake but liplickin' none-the-less was made for Aida for her hubby.  It rained garfields & odies when I was late at delivering this cake to her home, but fortunately her hubby was in the showers at that moment, so I guess the surprise  menjadik la jugak kan.. :)

Glad you guys enjoyed the cake!

Damia One-derful Birthday



This cake came a bit last minute, squeezed between orders but I couldn't say no to a good friend, Nor (heheh). It's a moist chocolatey cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant. Even the blocks were made with chocolate cake cake.

Happy Birthday Damia!

Hey Mickey!

These Mickey Mouse themed cake & cuppies were made for Ida's little Hariz who turned two. Alhamdulillah, another satisfied customer! Thank you Ida & family.

Read about the party here. We're also opening orders for party food catering. Shoot me an email for quotes.

Ida is the face behind Krafy Pallette and is a really talented blog and graphic designer. Her designs are all so yummy-looking. I'm so tempted to hire her for a blog make-over. But then again, macam sayang pulak... I've spent endless hours creating my own blog design. Maybe one day...

Friendship Remains And Never Can End...

20 years ago, those were the words every girl between the age of 9-12 would write on their friends' autograph books. I'm pretty sure the girls of the current generation would come up with something more sophisticated than that. Worse still, does autograph books still exist? Where we'd write out out biodata i.e favourite food/drinks or ambitions as if our friends care? Or has everything gone digital nowadays cool gadgets, facebook, twitter, etc?




Well, whatever it is, I'm glad Linda & her friends enjoyed these great combination of her own choice - banana cupcakes with peanut butter & jelly filling & honey buttercream. Very very delicious.

Happy Birthday, Linda!






Nak jugak tumpang sekaki. Syiok!

Farhan's Pororo Friends!

I almost forgot about this cake! For Kak Niza's baby boy, Farhan. So many things went wrong while making this cake. Firstly, I had a bad case of flu and was feeling kinda woozy. I accidentally spilled the cake batter, and I ran out of cocoa powder to make another batch. Disaster! At the last minute, I changed the cake from a chocolate orange cake to an orange butter cake with orange filling and chocolate ganache, hoping that it could still be a jaffa cake. 

Thankfully, Kak Niza didn't mind the change, but I later found out from her that I accidentally used mango filling instead of orange filling! OK, I admit I couldn't tell the difference from the smell since my nose was stuffy. But I'm pretty sure I bought orange filling, as written on the plastic container. How the fillings got switched, I only discovered some time later when I went back to the cake supplies store and saw how both the orange & mango filling looked so much alike @-@

Must have been a funky new flavour, orange butter cake, mango filling & chocolate ganache!

Baby Akim Turns Two!

Not many knows that my daughter Nunu has a little brother - whom is not my son.

Baby Akim was very close to Nunu when she was at her previous kindy. He's the kindy principal's son, and he adores Kakak Nunu to the max. Even the principal's parents took a liking to Nunu.



Now that Nunu goes to another school, I was told by his mom that Baby Akim misses his Kakak Nunu every now and then.

Tapi bila jumpa masa birthday party dia ni boleh buat-buat blur pulak! Haha... kids.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Akim. Kak Nunu & Aunty Anne love you veeeeery much! Muacks!

For Yasmin


Posted by Picasa

I've forgotten about this set of cupcakes which I made for my cousin,Yasmin aka Syamin born 13 years ago on May 12th. I remember that date clearly because, in my family on my father's side, she's the first cousin and we were all very excited to welcome her. I am very close to her mom, my aunty by right, but we're more like sisters due to our close age gap. Seeing the little baby for the first time was just indescribable, and I was there for most part of her pantang days so that I could help out my aunty manage her firstborn.

I was just required to make very simple & pastel design for her, but what was lack in style and creativity, I definitely made up for in flavour and taste! Each row of the cuppies were made of different flavours, which I can't remember now. Isk, my brain's slowly degeneratinglah... but I do remember there were rosewater pistachio, strawberry and cherry almond. These cuppies were shared with her friends at MRSM Balik Pulau, and from what I heard, the girls looooooved them!

A happy belated birthday to my beloved, Syatirah Yasmin.

Two In One Birthday Bash

For Kak Leez's children's birthday, I was required to make 100 pieces cupcakes - 50 for the kakak Qistina and 50 for the adik, Nafis.

Alas, my dad unexpectedly paid us a visit at home that day, so my timing ada lari sikit. I was such in a hurry that I forgot to snap any pictures before I left the house. I even forgot to bring along my camera! What's happening to me? Transform dah jadi Forgetful Aunty Anne!

All pics are from my 2MP camera phone. Brand Cokia... hahaha!

Not only that, I forgot that Kak Leez mentioned that she wanted some Cars figurine on some of the cuppies for Nafis, like the Thomas & Friends I made previously. I truly, truly forgot about it, in fact, I have no recollection whatsoever about the conversation. Huhuhu, that's why people... I prefer my orders to be in writing - email or sms. It's harder for me to miss these important little details!



Instead, I made a box of 25 pieces orange cupcakes with orange filling with little kodok-kodok cars theme! Kesian member, don't worry, Aunty Anne will make it up to you soon, honey.




Nafis also is crazy about fish, so I made little fishies in another box of cookie crumble cuppies.



For Qistina, 25 pcs strawberry cupcakes with strawberry filling and moist chocolatey cupcakes with strawberry filling & choc ganache.

These tiers are handmade and is available for rent. Do email me at raggedyanne79@gmail.com for details.

I'd like to share Nunu's face that was painted by a friend. Although she was feeling feverish, she was so excited to go to the party and packed her own pussycat hairband to match her make-up. Nice or not? Do visit Kak Zati's website or her facebook page if you're interested to hire her for any events.



Lavender Blue Birthday

Atiqah ordered this set, kind of last minute, for her sister, who is a fan of the colour lavender and anything purple. I don't know what happened to my eyes but these cuppies looked too blue in broad daylight when they looked perfectly lavender to me the previous night. I think I must have been confused with that lullaby I always listen to on Nunu's nursery rhymes CD.



Flavour was vanilla with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream. Glad the birthday girl loved it. Thank you so much Atiqah for the order!

Cookie Crumble Clicks

Delivering these cookie crumble cuppies to Shidah's husband was quite an adventure. Both my daughter and I were struck with fever, but we trooped on (on foot summore!) despite getting different directions from people to get to our destination :)



Jumpa jugak lah dengan birthday boy. Happy sangat bila wifey buat surprise dekat tempat kerja. Kecoh satu office :D :D


Thank you so much to Shidah & Amirul. May you newlyweds have a blissful marriage, amin.

For Mama & Baba

Xiau Sze, all the way from Australia, ordered these for her beloved mum & dad last Sunday, which was Mother's Day. I wasn't planning on doing any Mother's Day promotion actually, coz I wanted to rest! But after receiving her email request, I couldn't say no. Moreover, it was her father's birthday too.






















Honey caramel cupcakes (new flavour!)

































 Delivered this box to her parents' home in Padang Serai. Managed to find their house with the help of her little brother who came on a bicycle to meet me at a petrol station. Thanks so much Sze Kai. You're a lifesaver!

Ebi's Dream Cake

Another last minute project for my niece's birthday, Ebi. The barbie cake made her grand entrance, an hour after the makan-makan party started. Ha, talk about being fashionably late. I'm not totally satisfied with my work this time, coz I changed my mind halfway to make this cake from a buttercream to a fondant cake. I was worried the cake would not survive the journey to my in laws' house if it wasn't secured with a fondant dress.






Despite the ala-ala shabby chic outcome, the birthday girl was ecstatic to get her cake. Three layers of chocolate, blueberry & vanilla cake filled with cream cheese and frosted with blueberry buttercream. So happy to see the kids gobble the cake up.
