Anyone up for a little mystery? Our client did. She decided to celebrate her 21st birthday with a Masquerade Theme. We don't normally make tiered or 'large' cakes [by that, we meant anything larger than a 4" cake or a cupcake]. However on this day, we made an exception because she was my sister's friend and the birthday girl really wanted a tiered cake for her birthday bash.

Beach on Cupcakes

Normally when we start customizing cupcakes, we'll try to draw as much inspirations from the client as possible. What he or she likes, what they dislike, etc.

In this case, this client wanted to order a set of cupcakes for her boyfriend's birthday. She was very generous in sharing details about their love of things and we're glad that she did, because it allowed us to create this storyline of cupcakes that is very personal to both her and her boyfriend.

To Alvin, you are indeed one very lucky guy Mister! ;)
PS: Did I mention that they have a cute salt n' pepper schnauzer?
No it's not CNY

If your grandfather is anything as traditional as mine, then he would only have red on his cake. Our client apparently has a grandfather like mine because she requested for some very red cupcakes for his 90th birthday. We made traditional peaches to signify longevity and little Koi fishes for good luck.

Now all that is left to wonder is his reaction when he sees these cupcakes instead of a whole birthday cake.

Every Little Girl's Dream

PS: Pardon me for getting a little carried away with the theme. After all, you have to immerse your heart and soul into each project yea?
This fondant Princess sits on a sparkly four inch cake adorned with flowers, and even has a 3-tiered birthday cake of her own.

Man'.....or should we say, Princess' best friend and her not-so-charming frog prince.

What is a Princess without her accessories? So, we made some accessories only fit for a Princess.

Now, we all know that any self-respecting Princess has a lady-in-waiting. This lucky Princess has twenty.
Putting all the cupcakes together was a task in itself. There were a total of one hundred large fondant cupcakes and one mini four inch cake to decorate. The whole project was finally completed after 1 whole week of planning and 3 whole days of work. 'Phew'

Nautical Lawyer

What has sailing got to do with the lawyers? Absolutely nothing but what kind cupcakes do you give a lawyer who absolutely adores sailing? Cupcakes such as these? I really do hope that she likes them.

Always having a dilemma between delicious cupcakes versus pretty cupcakes? At Pommes, you can have the best of both worlds. We offer a wide selection of cupcakes, each having a distinct flavor of its own. All Pommes' cupcakes can be covered in fondant to add that extra special touch for that special someone. With the variety to choose from, there is bound to be a flavor that you will like.

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.



{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}
