RRR...ROLL THE DICE !!!

6 June 2010

Anyone care for a game of life??? Let's roll the dice and get the game going.

I got the idea by searching the 'net' of course but I don't really remember which particular site it was. Nevertheless,there are lots of great cake ideas out there...thanks to everyone who shares.
This cake was requested for the wedding anniversary of Mazura's parents. The kids...the grandchildren, couldn't wait to get their hands on the 'stuffs' on the cake....I guess that's far more interesting than the cake itself.

LABOUR DAY...but still working?

1 May 2010

It was Labour Day...time to relax, workers!!! But mums don't get to have a break coz everybody was at home!

Me....3 orders delivered. One was collected at my home...fuhh! But the other two....dragged my driver a.k.a. husband all the way to Semenyih to send these cakes to Ida. Thanks Ida & glad you like them.

Me...teaching?

23 & 24 November 2009

Me...teaching? Yep...just for my husband's two nieces, Hanis & Syahirah. I taught them baking & decorating. Will I do it again? Yep...but first, I'm giving myself time to improve my skills...baking, decorating & teaching.

First day,we made sponge cakes, topped with fresh cream & decorated with cartoon designs filled with colored piping gel.

Second day, we made butter cake, topped with buttercream with cartoon decoration filled with colored buttercream. And also, some cupcakes.

Hey girls, I am expecting a birthday cake from you...you need the practice anyway.

Soccer, Soccer

A friend of a friend wanted a soccer cake for her two sons' birthdays. This is the fifth time I made such cake. This time the ball is Vanilla Buttercake & the field base is Orange Buttercake.
Glad to make some kids (& parents too!) happy.
