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!

Acu's E-Day
One of my best memories with her was our daily lunch date in our rooms. Oooh I remember how I used to enjoy a huge pack of nasi campur plus an equally huge packet of teh o ais limau (which I'm pretty much addicted to) back then.
So when I heard the news that my good old friend from my uni days was getting married, I was ecstatic. I couldn't be happier to make a cake for her, even if it means that I'll have to go to Parit Buntar to attend her engagement ceremony. It's a favour I'd have to return for she and a couple of friends were there for me when I got engaged.
Selamat Bertunang, Fizah and I'm looking forward to your wedding :)

A Promise I Make
My sweet sister, Cik Apple Mint ordered these as a gift for her friend who was getting engaged.
We didn't get much information on the theme colour, so she gave me the creative license and thankfully, the colour combination I chose matched exactly with the ribbons when Cik Apple came by later with the hantaran box.

The Pretty Cake That Could (well, almost!)
This is the cake that almost didn't make it... Atikah placed an order for this hantaran cake on behalf of her mom who wanted to give it as a present to a friend whose daughter was getting married (huh? come again?)
I wasn't in the best of health to finish decorating the cake. After failing the second time to cover the cake while battling a hazy, fuzzy, flu-medication-induced mind, I turned to a good friend, Kak Tun to help me this one time while I had to settle my other deliveries.
I'm not ashamed to give credit when it is due..
But that's a very nice bouquet of flowers, right? Atikah requested the same cake from a photo she emailed me and I was more that happy to oblige. But of course I didn't make those flowers myself. I ordered them from Kak Linda from the famous Kaori Cake. I'm so inspired to learn make these flowers myself. One day, Insya-Allah... I've already taken my first step, finally got my hands on those gumpaste modeling tools. Bought them at Mr. DIY at the fraction of its original price!
Thank you Atikah & her mom for your trust in my cake... well, of course I baked that cake. It was vanilla cake with blueberry filling and covered in vanilla buttercream. That credit goes to me :D

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.

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.

Gundam Cupcakes
Don't you just love surprises?
Thanks to Erni, her friend Saupi got a lovely surprise on his birthday. Well actually, it was a day after because he took a day off on his birthday when I was supposed to send these Gundam themed cuppies to his office.
When Erni mentioned that he likes Gundam, I garu my head. What the heck is Gundam? Sounds funny, ya? A few googles later, omigod! Hahaha... it's ok, no sweat (yer lah tu). I did the best I can. Kepala Gundam ajer pun jadilah...
Hope you enjoyed them, Saupi :D
p/s: Erni is sooooo NICE! She paid me extra so that I can put it in my charity drive. Yes, it's still going on, if you're wondering, albeit a little slow

Roses In Pink-Silver
Another set for my beloved sis, Kak Umi who ordered this hantaran set for her cousin.

Spent the whole night trying out my new alphabet cutter. Took me that long due to the wet weather (again, blame it on the rain!)
Still need practice, but do you like my roses? Haha, I used a cheap mould that costs.... wait for it.... TWO RINGGIT!

Blossom
I had butterflies in my tummy to present my first stacked wedding cake.
It's not that big, the bottom layer is 10 inches in diameter, the middle 8 inches and the top is 7 inches (which I think 6 inches would be more apropriate considering the size ratio between the bottom and the second layer) and the whole cake is +- 8 inches tall.

The cake is a mix of strawberry, blueberry and vanilla flavoured cake with strawberry buttercream. Due to the rainy weather, the fondant got a little wet *stress*, but I hope it doesn't look so disasterous since I don't use dowels at all to support the cake (small only mah).
This is a cake that wouldn't cost a bomb, so to brides/grooms/wedding planners out there who has a tight budget but want a grand looking cake, do drop me a line yah.
Thank you soooo much to my sis Umi for the order. Selamat Pengantin Baru to her cousin Eida and Faris.

Nikon DSLR Cupcakes

These tiny DSLRs were also ordered by Jue for her friend Mirul. They were celebrating a double birthday together with Yana, whose those Domo cupcakes were for.
Thanks so much for your support Jue. Hope Mirul likes 'em!
