Cherish

This set was ordered by Aina (again) specially for her anniversary. Honey caramel cupcakes... the design was given to me and I tried my best to replicate the design. Credit goes to the original designer, whoever you are.

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!

Pretty Reds, Blacks & Whites...

... for Kak Hajar's family, yet again. The children couldn't get enough of 'em apparently, according to her :)



Pretty last minute, so I kept it simple. I knew she likes green cream cheese on top of her red velvets..

Tweethearts

Little lovebirds in red velvet and cream cheese for my new friend Shireen who celebrated Valentine's Day with her family.

It's a nice feeling when you know you are part of something special and spreading the love, any day, anytime.

Sweet Oreo Dreams

Cookie crumble cuppies for Atikah and her fiance, who celebrated their anniversary last week. Sweet sangat dorang berdua ni.

Hope you guys enjoyed sharing the cuppies together. Don't forget to invite me to your wedding yah. I'm so honoured to be a small part of your love story.

HUGS & KISSES FOR DADDY

These were made for Kak Wati & family, bersempena her hubby's birthday which fell on Aidil Adha, I think.

She loves the theme 'Hugs & Kisses' which I did for my nieces, so I replicate the design plus some additional characters.



He loves cars, so here's a racing car. My fondant still became lembik again after momentarily dried up *curses*



He loves his darling wife. Tengok mulut tu tengah buat memuahs :)



He loves his little girls.

So happy birthday Daddy! Mintak maap banyak-banyak if Daddy resembles Mat Kacau... huhuhu.

ROSY

Wani, the hardcore fan of my Lemony Snickett's finally caved in and opted for some moist chocolatey cuppies for a change. Well, yes, you can have way too many zesty lemon cuppies in a year, my dear.

Struck by a severe case Ramadhan blues (is there such thing? I feel so tired all the time, around the clock - so tak larat la dah tua ka makcik ni) I couldn't promise anything fancy for Wani. Just simple swirls of strawberry and blueberry buttercream roses.

Thank you so much you guys, for being such an ardent supporter. Wani punya pasal, letih macam mana pun Kak Anne tunaikan jugak your request although less than 24 hour notice :)
Sayang Wani.

HAPPY CONVO

This is another special request. Jaz asked whether I can make just 10 fondant cuppies for her. Hmm... just as I was about to make a resolution (to not to turn my oven up for anything below RM50 - haha), I said yes anyway. She picked her all-time favourite flavour, moist chocolate chip with vanilla buttercream.























Special box...
























... with special cupcakes...


and a special promo price - RM40!


Details of the promo set:
1) Applies to all basic chocolate based or vanilla based flavours, just add RM5 if the recipe requires chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting.
2) Comes in a cute aeiou studio box.
3) Max 3 colour for fondant decorations.
4) 10 cupcakes in medium sized solo cups.


I will upload samples of the boxes available soon. So stay tuned!

FOR LOVELY NOLY

Usually, customers aren't encouraged to mix flavours in a box because it's quite a hassle for me, the baker, to prepare different kinds of cupcakes with different patterns and looks in a single box.

When I get a special request from Adis, I thought about it a little longer and said, "Well, why not?". If I'm a customer myself, I'd like to taste different kinds of flavours and not just get a box of pretty cakes. Having said that, I must also say that we work with a certain limitation, mixed cupcake within the same basic flavour which is either vanilla base or chocolate base.

So, what Adis chose for his sweetheart Noly were, chocolate chip cuppies with chocolate ganache, chocolate chip mint with mint buttercream, chocolate chip with orange buttercream, and chocolate with strawberry jam filling and vanilla buttercream.

Pretty fancy for a small cupcakery that operates from a small kampung home, if you ask me.

Thankfully, my customers love the combination very much (especially the mint one, YEAY! another chocolate mint lover convert!) and quite forgiving with the uninspired design, haha.

Thank you so much Adis for your order and Happy Birthday Noly :)

WHIMSICAL VINES

My pride and joy, to date.

Thanks to Ieda who has been such a great supporter to Liplickin' all these while, and was willing to let me create a special flavour for her, rosewater and pistachio cupcakes - my Princess of Persia.

Happy Anniversary, dear. May Allah bless you, Asrul and Alin always.

SATC CUPCAKES

The very lovely Sam again ordered this set of SATC inspired cuppies for her friend, Annie - to cheer her up coz she couldn't join Sam and their other friends for a meet-up that weekend.

I do hope I get the concept right on the cupcake tags, coz I'd be the last girl on earth who will ever get the hoopla over this show :D

Thank you so much Sam! I had quite an adventure delivering these babies all the way to Tambun.

Sikit lagi nak terjun laut!

BOOLICIOUS BANANA CUPPIES

Once in a blue moon, I get a request that is quite out of the ordinary. And when I got this order of banana cupcakes from Sam (again) who's always game to taste something different, I was elated. Finally, somebody who loves the bananary flavour!

She didn't want anything too fancy, so to dress it up a little bit, I suggested we put cute little tags on the cuppies.

This set was a gift for Sam's boyfriend, and from her response, he loved it very much! Isn't he lucky to have such a thoughtful gal?

MERAH ITU CINTA

Chocolate cupcakes with choc lava filling and white vanilla buttercream frosting for Drama Mama and hubby.

It was an SOS call late one evening from Bai, who would be celebrating her wedding anniversary the next day. 

Well Bai, you were this close to sounding like a Desperate Housewife, you know. That's why I didn't have the heart to say no to her request. Although she initially asked for buttercream roses (a technique of which I've yet to master - shame on me), I have to replace that request with these red gum paste flowers I got from a nearby bakery supplies shop when at the last minute, my red butter cream couldn't really hold it's shape well. The second batch of buttercream I made didn't turn out the exact shade that I want, so scrap it. Store-bought gum paste roses to the rescue!

Delivering the cupcakes to her home high up on the hills in Sg. Ara was a different adventure altogether. Well, as the saying goes, you'll never get lost in the streets of Penang. 

A good thing none-the-less, coz I've always wanted to meet the pretty Drama Mama and her son Irfan. Akhirnya, sampai jugak hasrat, walaupun sekejap cuma. Eceh!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Bai & Amin, and of coz the little cheeky Irfan too :) Thank you so much for the order. Next time ada pasai nak order jangan lupa calling-calling Anne ok?

p/s: Oh yeah, Bai is the founder of Twinky Winky Stars. Check out her blog to see her excellent creations.

YOU BELONG WITH ME

While I was making this cuppies for Jaz, the famous Taylor Swift's song kept playing at the back of my mind. I'm sure the sneakers got something to do with it.

Flavour is Macho Mod Mint, perfectly minty chocolatey cupcakes with pepperrmint buttercream, my favourite! And the recipient of the cupcakes loved them too that he almost immediately placed an order for his father's birthday, which is coming soon.

Happy Anniversary, Jaz & Amer. May both of you belong together, forever.

BLINGIN' LOVE

One of the best thing of being in this business is seeing acts of love around you.

Valentine's Day is just another day to celebrate the love.

This set was ordered by sweet Samantha for her boyfriend. She was so meticulous to choose his favourite colours and flavours, which was Dulce De Leche cupcakes, chocolate lava filling and DDL buttercream. She even specified all the 'slogans' on the cuppies.

Thank you so much for the order, Sam!

MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN

For the first time, I received an order from a total stranger via internet. Ieda requested for a nautical (not nottical ok) theme as a surprise for her husband who's a naval engineer.

Thank goodness I have a very understanding and non-fussy customer who has trust me completely with the deco despite my shortcomings and inexperience. This is the best that I came up with.

M25 pieces of a mix of chocolate and chocolate mint with a mix of vanilla and mint buttercream. I didn't mix the colours in the blue and white buttercream thoroughly to get a better 'ocean' effect, but somehow I doesn't really show in the photos. They all look so blue in here, don't they?

A lifesaver using what else, a tiny minty lifesaver of course! But here in Malaysia it's best known as Polo, a staple candy during my SPM week, donkey years ago!

 Those pinky bits are supposed to be red in colour, but I'm a little wimpy when it comes to food colouring, hehe. Somewhere in here lies a hidden treasure, strawberry jam filling!

Used those pinky bits of fondant for the lettering too. A good turn out I must say, considering that I'm only using a cheap alphabet cookie cutter!

To the very lovely and bubbly Ieda, thank you soooo much for your order. You have no idea how much this means to me, although I had to travel nearly an hour plus to find your home, it was all very worth it (forgot to tell you that Sg. Kechil is my hubby's birth place!). The short travel allowed me to wind down from all the stress I was having that Friday morning. Hope you guys enjoyed my creation yang tak seberapa tu.

OK, now let's sing!

My bonnie lies over the ocean

My bonnie lies over the sea....

My bonnie lies over the ocean

Oh bring back my bonnie to me....
