Little Cakes...to Garden Wedding, with loves

The reason why I named The Little Cake Shop for my future bakery is because I technically enjoy designing and creating mini cakes and sweets. This is also why at one point I told my close friends that my new name is siew tim tim....little sweet sweet...Well, I guess people will get to enjoy more choices when the cakes and sweets are served in smaller portion. It is also meant for those who wants to stay slim! These little cakes are specially made for my cousin's wedding. She loves the icon of heart shapes - this is why you can see a lot of 'loves' in this design concept. When I was a kid, I enjoy mini jelly cakes the most! It's tiny spongy vanilla cake dipped in strawberry jelly and coated with dessicated coconut. My nanny will buy for us whenever she goes to the big wet market in Pudu. That's why I love decorating my mini cakes with red piping jelly as it brings back the sweet memory.



Besides baking the mini cakes for my cousin to give out as pre-wedding gifts, I baked for her wedding cake too. It is a simple but sweet 3-tier Strawberry Mousse Cake, decorated with pink and white chocolate hearts...The cake is topped with two pink lollipops with the bride and groom's initial written on the lollies.



 The wedding reception was held at her garden, with beautiful sunshine and greens. It was a prefect day for outdoor wedding. I'm also glad that I made her little finger food to serve the guests. A perfect theme for wedding - based on 'love' and the shape of hearts. Bread pudding was topped with whipped cream and decorated with mint leaves and sliced strawberries. Served cold with warm vanilla custard sauce.
