Cupcake Obsession

Hi all, due to some health issues, i unfortunately will need to undergo surgery in mid-July. Due to this, i will therefore be unable to take on any orders beginning from the 9th of July onwards, and will not take on any new orders until I am sure that I’m fully recovered from the surgery and at my best to do up your cake or cupcake creations.

I’m hoping to be raring to go again by August… however in the meantime, I’ll be taking this opportunity to bring my website up to date by posting up all my previous creations which due to backlog i’ve not had the opportunity to post up yet! So i do hope that you will continue to visit my website in this intervening period to see my creations

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and your well wishes and hopefully I’ll be back to doing your orders soon!!

Cheers, Serene!!!

Sheralyn’s daughter Kelly had a birthday coming up and as her favourite cartoon was Little Einstein, Sheralyn asked if i could make a cake for her in that theme.

After some discussion, we decided on having the Little Einstein’s ship as a topper and the Little Einstein characters on the side of the cake. After thinking about how to make the Little Einstein ship, i finally decided to make it out of cake. As it was my first time doing something like this, i was a little nervous.. but i thought it turned out fabulous and to tell the truth, i was pretty proud of how the cake turned out..

Happy birthday Kelly!!

Yen contacted me and asked if i could do a Pooh tea party cake for her daughter’s upcoming birthday. Her daughter since young always held tea party’s with her toys and as such, Yen wanted to do a Pooh tea party cake for her birthday.. the twist was that Nemo had to be at the Pooh tea party too!!

So after thinking long and hard about how to do the cake and include Nemo, i decided to do the base colour fondant in blue to represent water, and have a patch of grass at the top of the cake where the tea party would be held. I added some little fishes and algae to the side of the cake as well to make it look as if you were looking into an aquarium

I loved the colours used on this cake which i thought really made it stand out. Don’t you think so?

Sharon had stumbled across my website some time back and asked if i could do some cupcakes for her son’s birthday. As her son loves trucks, diggers, etc, Sharon asked if i could do some construction theme cupcakes for her son.

Sharon already knew what she wanted for the cupcake designs and after some research on my part to decide how to go about doing them, these were what the cupcakes looked like with some close up pics of the cupcakes

Sharon had sent me a picture of her boy which she requested the figurine i make look like, and the construction worker toy that her son always plays with.. so that’s what i based the above toppers on. I thought they turned out quite well

Relus contacted me sometime back and asked if i could do some cupcakes for her. She had 2 birthday celebrations on the same day and wanted a set of cupcakes with flowers and a cow, with another set with flowers and a rat. The reason for the rat and cow was cos one of the birthday celebrants was born in the year of the Cow and the other in the year of the Rat.

For the mouse, i did them in 3d while for the cow ones, i switched it up a little and did 2d version of the cow’s face on it. I thought they came out quite well and hopefully the birthday celebrants liked the cupcakes too!

My aunt requested for me to do a chocolate cake for her with ganache frosting for her staff’s birthday celebration. She requested for something simple for the cake with the words “Happy Birthday Soo Yen” on it.

So this was what i came up with… i added some simple sprinkles and flowers to keep it simple but pretty. :)

Cherine who had previously ordered the L’oreal cupcakes from me was back with an order for a birthday cake for her niece. Her request was for a Pooh themed cake but she wanted it in pink since her niece’s favourite colour was pink!

After thinking long and hard as to how to do a pink themed Pooh cake, i finally got the idea after looking at some pictures of Sakura blossoms which happened to be in their flowering season when i got the request for the cake! The idea was to do the cake with Pooh and friends with a Sakura tree in full blossom!!

I loved the way the cake turned out and this is to date one of my favourite cakes of all time.  And my favourite character on this cake is actually Eeyore which i made cross eyed trying to look at a little Sakura blossom that had landed on his nose

When Cherine’s niece saw the cake, the look of wonder on her face when she saw all the pooh and friends just made my day Haha…. she just wanted to pluck out all the individual characters to play with So cute!

The first thing i’m going to say is… GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!!! haha… this is literally a ball themed cake. Angela had contacted me asking if i could do a ball themed cake for her son who loves all sorts of sports that have balls in it. I.e. basketball, tennis, etc. However, as her son’s favourite was basketball, she wanted the main theme of the cake to be a basketball court with a big huge basketball in the centre, and have the sides of the cake showing other type of sports which have balls in them like tennis, soccer, etc.

So this was what we finally came up with The basketball on the top was also made of cake and i can’t believe how many little dimples i had to make on that little ball to give it the texture of a basketball… i wonder at the end of the day if anyone actually noticed it :p And don’t get me started on the trouble i had making the basketball hoops!! Ouch! I think i spent close to 2 days trying different methods and thinking up different ways to do up the hoop. I just hope at the end of the day that the birthday boy enjoyed looking at the cake as much as eating it :)

Linda came to me after seeing my Strawberry Shortcake cake here. She had only come across the cake after purchasing a little strawberry shorcake candle and was wondering if i would be able to do up a strawberry shortcake themed cake for her without any toppers.

After searching through the internet for ideas, i came across a cake which i thought would go well with Linda’s candle and suggested it to her. Linda agreed and i ended up doing a little 2 tier strawberry shortcake house for her. Unfortunately, as i didn’t have the candle, i can’t show you how the cake looked with the candle on it.. but here is the little Strawberry Shortcake house i ended up doing for Linda. Sorry for the bad pic :p Couldn’t seem to get it at a right angle to show off the design

Serena had ordered some cupcakes from me sometime last year and this year she’s back for another order for Kyla. The theme requested was for garden theme cupcakes.

So we decided on doing cupcakes with some bees, butterflies, fowers, caterpillars and ladybugs. I thought they turned out nice and colourful and hope Kyla liked them too
