Valentine's

Due to the CNY coinciding with Valentine's I didn't have time to work on Valentine's cakes or cupcakes.

These are the only Valentine cupcakes I made especially for my son to give to his girlfriend :)

Cupcakes Galore!

People have been asking me how much my cupcakes cost. 

Cupcakes with basic designs involving only buttercream icing, like the ones above, cost RM50 per box.

Farewell to my son's college mate. Now, special requests like the one above which required sugar paste cost RM60. And to be clear, each box comes in one flavour. The one above is in two flavours because it was a special request from my son, and he has special privileges ;)

These are my CNY cupcakes. Because of the specially made flowers and mandarin they cost RM70 per box.

 

Chocolate cupcakes, special request, RM55

 

Emily Chew's "full moon" celebration cupcakes, RM70

Halal Cakes

Some people have asked if my cakes and cookies are halal.

The good news is they definitely are!

I have separate sieves, bowls and utensils for different ingredients and everything is cleaned with my baking-only sponge (which has never been used on non-Halal equipment). I'm very meticulous about this sort of thing in general and have also talked to a few Muslim friends to make sure that everything follows the rules.

Christmas cupcakes and more

Decided to show you some of the cupcakes I've made.


Ok, these butter cupcakes I made for a friend last Christmas. She ordered 11 boxes of 16 cupcakes to give away and also another box of 25 cupcakes for her office!


She's been very, very supportive (thanks, Christina).


These were for a 10-year old boy's birthday.


These were for Christina's office.


These were for my brother-in-law's client (thanks, Jeff). Chocolate cupcakes with yummy, sticky cocoa topping and white chocolate desgins.

Anniversary cupcakes

This is a similar design to my first post. Last December a friend ordered 25 butter cupcakes with the letterings "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY PUP AND TERRI", for her friend's anniversary (obviously). I thought it would look pretty dull so I suggested this same design with a different colour theme. My friend chose pink, Terri's favourite colour. I think it turned out quite nicely, don't you?
Colour makes all the difference.

Eda's wedding cupcakes

This is one of my favourites, like the contrasting colours. Butter cupcakes with buttercream topping. Made these last November for a friend's "hantaran". I'm in Subang Jaya and she was in Kelantan! We were worried the buttercream wouldn't stay in shape through the long journey. She got her sister and brother-in-law to collect the cupcakes two days before the ceremony. She'd ordered another two boxes of butter cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes. I asked her brother-in-law to put the box of "hantaran" under the other two boxes in the front seat so that it would be protected from the heat. But he insisted they would be better off in the boot! Your guess is as good as mine. Halfway through the journey he checked on the cakes and the buttercream had melted so badly you couldn't see the design! Thank goodness the other box of butter cupcakes were of the same design and my friend could replace the melted ones with these. So, it was a pretty good ending :)
