Cycling Citylights

Sometimes, I feel like we are on one of those reality shows which brings on more and more difficult challenges as the weeks progress. But instead of Project Runway, it is called "Project Baking". A customer gave us a challenging theme: Pink & Cycling. This is how we translated her request.


She got back to me later that day, saying that her friend (the birthday girl) loved the cupcakes. Nothing beats knowing that all the hard work has paid off. While out celebrating her birthday, they (the cupcakes.....erm..and the girls too I'm sure!) even caught the attention of a few passers-by.

We like challenges (well...most of the time anyway) and do our very best to accommodate to the customer's request. Sometimes in the process, we surprise even ourselves with how the cupcakes turn out.

So, if you wish to see how we translate our next challenge theme: Rock, Guitar, Hippo....keep on reading.

Ala Indo

We have been making mostly Western desserts so it was a nice change to do something Asian for once. Last week, we prepared a high tea spread of Indonesian/Malaysian finger food and dessert for a birthday celebration. Theme colors were purple, green and yellow. Take a look at the pictures.

{High Tea was held at home, on a round table. We provided all the decoration}

{Main Course: Nasi Kuning with Chicken Rendang, Emping, Vegetables and Sliced Eggs}

{Nasi Kuning packed in individual portions for easy picking. All meat and vegetables are packed inside}

{Sop Merah or Tomato Soup: refreshing & great tasting}

{Resoles or Indonesian Fried Popiah}

{Kembang Goyang}

{Pisang Goreng, always a "hot" favorite}

{Sago Gula Melaka topped with Coconut Cream}

{Klepon: Glutinous balls filled with sweet Gula Melaka}

{What is a birthday without a cake? Two layered fondant covered coffee walnut cake}

Of Birds & Things.....

It was a customer's birthday yesterday! She ordered a set of fondant covered Earl Grey cupcakes. Here are some pictures of what we came up with. The theme that she gave us was pink and white. The little birds and birdcages took a very long time to make but they were worth the effort.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, K!

Hope you like the cupcakes.....

What does Winnie the Pooh and bees have in common? They are both yellow and they both love honey. So when a customer ordered cupcakes with a yellow and black theme, we gave her bees instead of Pooh.

It was a set of customized fondant cupcakes for her sister's birthday. We had lots of fun making the bees. The best thing about fondant cupcakes are; not only do they look pretty, you can choose any cupcake flavors you want as the base.
