Jana had come across my website and wanted a cake similar to one that I’d done previously here for a baby’s 1st month celebration.
After speaking to Jana to find out more about what she wanted on the cake and obtaining pictures of her family, i set out to do the figurines for her. As i wanted something a little different from the other family cake i did for Joanna i decided to change the family positions a little as well as have the baby sucking on a bottle rather than just being held in her mother’s arms.
I liked how the final design turned out and hopefully Jana liked it too

Joanna stumbled across my website when she went searching for a way to celebrate her baby’s 1st month. She saw the cake i had done previously for a friend’s 1st month celebration and loved it and hoped that i could squeeze in her order.
After a lot of persuasion on her part, i finally agreed to squeeze it into my schedule. Due to the short notice, i couldn’t do the cradle for her as there wasn’t enough time for the cradle parts to dry before the cake was due. So Joanna asked if i could add in her son and daughter into the cake design instead. I agreed and requested for a picture of their happy family haha.. from the picture Joanna sent me, i noticed that her son was quite cheeky, but since it was Cameron’s 1st month celebration, i amended the position of the figurines a little so that Cameron would be the centre of attraction and would have the whole family surrounding him
I decided to leave the cake relatively simple since i wanted Cameron and the other family figurines to be the centre of attraction for the cake. This was the final result. I was really happy with the way the figurines turned out and i thought they looked rather like the photo Joanna had sent me What do you think?

I got an e-mail from Dynelle recently after she came across my website. She asked if i could do some Astroboy and Tabo cupcakes for her as they were celebrating 2 of her friend’s birthdays on the same day and she wanted something special.
After some discussion we agreed to do a mixture of 2D and 3D cupcakes of Tabo and Astroboy… these were what i came up with I just realised how long it’s been since I’ve even watched Astroboy cartoons.. haha… oh no.. i’m getting old!! I wonder if any of the kids out there even know what cartoon this is anymore or if they even still show this on TV! :p
Anyway, i do hope that Dynelle’s 2 friends liked the cupcakes and had a very Happy Birthday

This week has been really hectic for me with 3 requests for cakes all due on Saturday and Sunday, plus some cupcakes as well!! Whew! I think the 29th of November is a very very popular date and there are lots and lots of kids with birthdays due on that date considering the number of requests i got for cakes and cupcakes for this day!! Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming number of requests, i had to turn some of them down which made me a little upset 
So here’s a shout out to all those who i had to disappoint. I really am disappointed that i didn’t have a chance to do up your cakes and cupcakes, but i do hope that in the future i’ll have the opportunity to do up your cakes for you. Thank you so much for your wonderful support
Okie dokey… enough of my rambling… here’s today’s latest post A Barney and friends cake for Luke! I’ve had some other requests for these in cupcake form, but none confirmed the order. In the end, Gina was the one with enough faith in me to finally confirm the order for a Barney and friends cake Yay!! A new challenge.
Now to be very frank.. I’ve never watched an episode of Barney and friends and the only impression i ever had of this children’s program is that there is a purple dinosaur. So when Gina asked me to do a Barney and friends cake for her, i immediately got onto the information super highway and started researching on images of Barney and his friends. After spending an entire day looking at images of Barney, i was seeing purple (haha… sorry bad pun but i couldn’t resist :p), but the pictures gave me a good idea as to what the characters looked like and how to go about modelling them for the cake
So off i went to start on Barney. The 1st 2 figurines of Barney and friend came out too small to be used on the cake, so i ended up chucking them. But it was great practice though. Gina wanted something nice and bright for her cake as well.. so we decided on a party theme for the cake, and to give credance to that theme, i added some balloons, presents and colourful confetti circles in various colours! I thought the cake turned out great and the confetti really gave the cake a festive air Here’s a shout out to Luke, wishing him a very Happy Birthday and i hope that he liked the cake

First off for this post, i really have to thank a very special girl for helping me to spread the word about my cakes and recommending me to her friends. This person is Wenqi, who had the honour of being the first person who ordered my first offical cake from me. After seeing her cake, 2 of her other friends have also approached me to do their 21st birthday cakes for them. Valerie’s pyjama and cow themed cake was one and well… this is the other.
Joy, a friend of Wenqi’s contacted me shortly after Wenqi’s birthday and asked if i could do a birthday cake for her too. Her 21st birthday was coming up shortly and she wanted a unique and fantastic birthday cake to celebrate this special day. After having several discussions with her, she decided on doing an Angel themed cake. Her specific request was for a central Angel topper for the cake and have the Angel holding a rose. After some brainstorming, and to distinguish it from Wenqi’s cake, i also decided to do some cute little cherub as an accompaniment to the main Angel, which was to represent Joy, and of course the usual boatload of lots of clouds all around the cake
In addition to the cake, Joy also requested for a batch of cupcakes featuring 3 cherubs, 3 roses, and 3 dogs. The dog was to represent her little faithful companion
Anyway to make sure i could do up the main angel to look like Joy, Joy sent me a picture of herself and her dogs for me to see. I realise now that modelling a figure after someone specifically is actually really hard to do.. but i do hope that i succeeded at getting the angel to look just a little like Joy. Anyway.. her’s some other close up shots of the cherubs on the cake
As you can see, i decided to do all the cherubs in different positions for both the cake and the cupcake toppers. My favourite of all the cherubs on the cake, had to be the one with his tongue sticking out and making a monkey face. For the cherub cupcakes, my favourite was the one that was taking a snooze Don’t you think they’re just so cute?!
Anyway, here’s a shout out to Joy wishing her a very Happy 21st Birthday and i do hope that she liked the cakes and cupcakes

Do you guys remember me doing up a batch of cupcakes just recently for a little girl named Khairina? Well.. her mom threw her another little birthday party for just the family and asked if i could do another Little Mermaid cake for Khairina. Aren’t the little girls nowadays just so lucky!!! Like another other little girl i could mention, Khairina also had 2 parties to celebrate her birthday!!! Aren’t these girls just so lucky??!! I never had 2 parties in my day… i’m so envious!! What i remember of my birthday parties was usually a celebration at McDonalds or just a simple celebration at home with a cake. Never did we get 2 celebrations for our birthdays!!! Just think about the sugar high the little kids would be on from all the cake and candy.. haha. Gosh… the parties must be wild!! Hmm… now I wonder if children now not only get 2 parties but get to have 2 presents from everyone too!!! That’d be so great!! Haha…
Anyway… the cake order from from Joanne, Khairina’s mom, was of course very welcome as cakes are always fun to do and you have all that surface space on the cake to decorate and go crazy with. Very different from cupcakes… though i hasten to add that i do love decorating cupcakes as there is just something soothing about them. Oh well.. enough of my ramblings and on to the cake.
As Khairina loves Ariel, the Little Mermaid, Joanne asked if i could do a cake with Ariel, Sebastian and of course Flounder as toppers on the cake for her. As it was only to be a little party at home, they didn’t need too big a cake and had decided on a 7″ cake. Deciding on the main characters to add on the cake were simple enough, but i had to decide how to place the toppers and what they should look like. E.g. would Ariel be sitting? Standing? Lying down? etc. After searching on the internet for images and ideas, i finally decided to make Ariel lying on her tummy with her hands on her chin and a dreamy look on her face. Flounder and Sebastian would of course be placed just next to her giving her their usual advice In addition to the 3 main characters, i also made fillers for the cake like corals, starfish, etc to add on to the cake to give it the whole underwater look.
I was actually really happy with the way Ariel turned out since I’ve never done a figurine lying down before.. and though i had some trouble with her hair and had to redo it several times, i was very happy with the final look. So what do you guys think of the cake??

Rosaline called me up the other day and asked if i could do some cupcakes for her to celebrate her baby’s 1st month. Of course being neighbours and her husband being my hubby’s ex-colleague i of course agreed.
After discussing with Rosaline, we finally decided that the design of the cupcakes would be the same as the previous ones i’d done here. I love making these cupcakes as i think the sweet pea design and baby booties are so cute
Anyway after doing up the cupcakes i decided to make a little cake to go along with the cupcakes as a gift to Alan and Rosaline. There are lots of ideas for baby shower cakes out there and many of them are just gorgeous.. but as i wanted to do something a little different and incorporate both the parents and baby in the cake theme, i finally decided to make 2 figurines to represent Alan and Rosaline, and Rosaline holding the baby Rachel in her arms. 
As i also wanted to incorporate elements of the baby theme, i decided to place the figurines sitting at the side of the cake so i could decorate the top of the cake with the baby cradle and other baby things. This was how the final cake turned out.. i thought it looked quite cute and was really happy with how it turned out
Here’s a picture of Alan, Rosaline and baby Rachel with their cake Hmm… does anyone think that the figurines look anything like Alan and Rosaline?? haha….
