Happy 8th Birthday !

2011-09-13T08:19:00.000-07:00

On Sept 11, 2003 we welcomed our youngest child into our family. Time flies, while preparing for his eighth birthday, he innocently requested mummy to make him his favourite characters to share with his friends.

Without much time for planning and decorating, I made him an Optimus Prime for his school's celebration and a Bumble Bee for his Sunday School's. I left out some fine details due to time constraints. Nevertheless, the children were excited and thrilled! That made my every effort and time worthwhile.

Obviously he was really happy with these cakes.

With love,

Carrie

How to make 2 cakes?

2011-04-17T08:36:00.000-07:00

April 16 marks my little sister's birthday. Now with my mum being a cake designer, it is pretty obvious that a cake (made by her no less) would be present on the day. And there were, 2 cakes in fact. Which were eaten before and after the actual birthday. Ironic isn't it? But we only used the cakes as a form of celebration to tell the whole world: "Hey guys! Its my birthday!!" and "My mum MADE it" and "The cake reflects how loved I am!" and "Its a reminder. Where are my presents?" (or so I think its what went through Celine's head.)

I don't think many people out there know how much time and effort is needed to make the cake look normal. Not like it was just a cake that unfortunately had some fondant shoved on it with gaudy looking colours. Just some cake. But to make it look pretty, you need a lot of patience. Also optimism.

"AAAGH! The cake is crumbling and breaking out!"

"Just keep moving. Just keep moving."

"The flowers disintegrated!"

"Just keep moving. Just keep moving."

"I'm out of gum paste!!"

"Smile! :) "

Anyway, my mum panicked a bit because it rained. Fondant is fussy and it refuses to cope when it rains. So mum wrestled with it to put it on the cake. Finally she just made it as good as possible (hence some, uhum, tucking in of the fondant in peculiar angles). Plus, the towers of the castle cake didn't oblige to our command of staying vertical. It seemed to get pure joy when it fell down. I on the other hand had some difficulties cutting out alphabets from fondant.

Hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds passed and the cake was complete! Yay!

Cake no.1 is the castle cake. Very girly I know.

On the actual day, interestingly enough we had no cake. Well, apart from the brownie and chocolate. But hey, no one's complaining.

Cake no.2 was made on Sunday, to celebrate her 9th birthday in church. Mum was up till late the day before and up early to work on her cake. It was about the same kinda theme: girl with 2 pet unicorns sitting innocently amidst some tiered cake. If you look at both cakes, you can see that both unicorns and girl with her delicate basket of roses pop up on both cake designs. But in the second cake, the unicorns drink some water with fish that flip their tails in unison (idea and made by moi!)

Nevertheless, both cakes were a success and had has gartered some attention. Celine was quite happy and kind of obssessed over the unicorns, but hey, they were cute. If you think it looks effortless, well, we sure do want you guys to think that but to be honest, it doesn't. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun!

Love,

Mango & Passion Fruit Cupcake

2011-01-07T04:02:00.000-08:00

Happy 2011 to all my friends from near & far.

I would like to share with you a recipe of my beloved mango & passion fruit cupcake. I bake these cupcakes every week, mostly for my own consumption!

Things you need (to make a dozen 2oz cupcakes) :-

125g Butter (Golden Churn, SCS are my fav)
110g of caster sugar (I like it less-sweet)
125g of self-raising flour
2 size A (Large) eggs
2 passion fruits
3 - 4 pieces of dried mangoes (cut them into small pieces)

Cream the butter & sugar until white & fluffy (stand mixer - speed 6 (mine is Kitchen Aid)).
Turn speed to 4 and beat in the eggs, one by one.
Add in the passion fruits pulps & juices and beat around 30 seconds.
Then, turn the speed to 1 and mix in the flour (separate it into 3 batches) batch by batch, mixing around 30 to 50 seconds and mix in the dried mangoes before switching off the mixer.

Spoon the batter into 12 cake cups (2 oz or 8cm) and bake in the oven of 180C for 20 minutes.

I hope you will try it and tell me how you like these cupcakes.

Happy trying.

Carrie
