Wizard and Magic cake for Aloysius' Science theme 10th birthday party

10th Birthday is another milestone birthday for our family, 

it signals the start of what is known as upper primary years. 

When boys grow very quickly, in terms of physique and mentality.

We engaged Mad Scientists to host the birthday party. 

The boys had a great time, being awed by scientific concepts and simple experiments. 

My baking buddy Kim was most kind to help me out with the figurines. 

Absolutely one of the most skilful cake decorator I know.

She made the wizard, owl, black cats (oooh), books, scroll and potion bottles! 

Thank you, Kim of Scones N Whatever!

I made the 3 cakes (rainbow, chocolate and vanilla, lettering and the little stars.

To add a twist, I made a poured rainbow cake, instead of baking it, layer by layer.

See what they look like in the pan and when the cake was cut.

Up close with the figurines! So cute! *love*

Cub Scouts Job Week March 2014 for Aloysius, Luke & Ignatius

My dearest baking buddy and I got together and decided to do a bake sale for our boys' Cub Scouts Job Week since they were too young to do chores door-to-door. Luke and Aloysius was 10 years old (P4) and Ignatius was 9 years old (P3).

We brainstormed and decided that we'll make 1 item each. Mommy and Luke will make Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Glaze, while Aloysius and Ignatius made brownies with me. 

Next, we had to ask family and friends to buy our Buddy Boxes. We asked and cajoled! Guess what? We had orders for 71 boxes, no less!

The boys helped to make some of the cupcakes and brownies, while the mommies finished up making the rest.

We are grateful to our friends for their overwhelming support! Athough the mommies had backaches after all that baking and decorating, it was fun and we really enjoyed it!

The boys also folded all the paper boxes, stuck on the labels and fill them with goodies.

Thanks Kim Teo for being my baking buddy and also joining me for this project!

Macaron Cake for Sister Dearest

My sister is the best, always supportive and encouraging. 

Ever since I started baking, she has ordered her birthday cake, 

sometimes small and simple, other times big and fanciful.

This time round, she asked for something with macarons! 

A simple celebration at home for just her own family.

I made a small vanilla cake frosted with swiss meringue buttercream 

and topped it with 6 macarons with strawberry cream.

*****************************************************************

A few days later, my hubby asked for a similar cake for his colleague 

visiting from the US. 

I made an extra small vanilla cake frosted with swiss meringue buttecream 

and topped with 5 mini macarons with strawberry cream.

He and his wife loved the cake and they thoroughly enjoyed it! ^_^

Yay!

Planes Dusty Crophopper Cake for Ascensius

My 6-year-old gave me a big challenge. Make me a Dusty cake, mommy, Ok?

I don't know about you, but for me, it's very hard to refuse my kids.

This is his graduating year (from kindergarten) and I wanted him to have a special cake.

We made a big 2-tier cake. Bottom tier is our medium cake and the top tier is our extra small cake.

We thought that the 20 children will not be able to finish this big cake, 

The cake was a hit and the kids did finish the cake!

Some of them didn't know who Dusty was. But who cares? So long the birthday boy loves it! ^_^

Phineas and Ferb cake for Caelan's 8th Birthday

This is one of favourite cakes I've made.

I spent a lot of time on the fondant figurines and fondant waves, and I was happy with how they turned out.

I've known Caelan since he was born! My pleasure to make his birthday cake yearly! ^_^

This is our small chocolate cake, draped in fondant.

More shots of Phineas and Ferb, and Perry!

Like the waves? I do! 

Happy 8th birthday, Caelan!
