BUSY – it seems that’s my favourite word
since I last blogged. Welcome ‘BALANCE’ - as this will be my new year’s
resolution – AGAIN? Cliché but yes – when there’s a will, there’s always a way.
Loving my current journey especially with the new family member – Mr. Jayden
Shiek. Have spoilt some of my assets, gave me disturbance of sleep, had most of
the attention, ate my favourite food and spoilt my cake decoration by poking
and biting on it…but he’s the angel to our family.
There’s some great progression in my baking
and cake decorating skills – honestly, I feel proud and satisfied with the
outcomes and hopefully my clients are happy too. There are too many pictures
that I would like to share here but I have limitation of time – I have a long
list of things to complete before my holiday ends on 2 Jan 2014 – one of it is
to stop by here…
Let’s start with…my nephew’s birthday
celebration cake…
New Born – Baby Shower Party Treats
I wanted to do something special for my nephew
as he’s very special to me and to my family. The idea is to have all the guests
to enjoy the array of sweet treats and topped with a simple toy-like cake
design. I made those little blue baby shoes and milk bottles…

Year 1 – Animal Party Cake
Made him a three-tier cake, black
forest/marble cheesecake and raspberry chocolate cake...had every bits of the
cake. Fed the whole party comers – kids and adults…I hand-made all the
characters from elephant, squirrel, piglet, bear, lion, hippopotamus to rabbit –
as Jayden was born in the year of Rabbit.

Year 2 – Choo Choo Train
His first reaction when he saw the cake was
– wow…and started singing choo choo train…one way ticket…cheeky little angel…the
cake was a secret recipe I innovated from a popular bakery in NY where I’ve
created the amazingly flavourful choco banana cake – filled with fresh banana
cream, ganache and chopped walnuts. The best part of the party? Everyone gets
to pick their favourite candies!
