Birthday Drink

Relaxing afternoon. Perfect for friends to come together and catch up! We covered our toes with the sugary white sand, drank wonderful wine and champagne (thank you, Fi XX), munched on yummy tapas and toasted "Happy Birthday~~" with cupcakes!

輕鬆的下午時光, 正好適合一群朋友聚在一起聊聊新鮮事！我們把腳趾頭埋在白糖般的細砂裏，享受香檳及醇酒和各式各樣美味的零食小菜，用杯子蛋糕大聲慶祝 "生日快樂！"

These individual little cakes are perfect for outdoor gatherings. No mess, no cutting and no cleaning up!  Pretty-pink cupcakes are for girls, gentle-blues are for boys and pastel-yellow cupcakes just in case.

這些獨立的小杯子蛋糕是戶外慶生的完美選擇！方便 、免切 、更不用收拾。可愛的粉紅小杯最討女孩子歡心，而爽朗的天空藍是專門給紳士們製作的，還有親切的中性黃．．．以防萬一！

Buttery Rosies

This is my final exam cake for my cake decorating class in June. These are butter-cream hand piped roses. Delicate dusky pink against a showy white canvas. It was so beautiful I could hardly bring myself to cut it open. A devils' food cake made from a recipe in "More from Magnolia" by the owner of world famous Magnolia Bakery, Allysa Torey. Pure angelic white on the outside and devilishly seductive black inside...Hmmmm

這是今年六月蛋糕裝飾課程的期末考蛋糕。這些是手擠的奶油霜玫瑰！嬌弱細緻的粉紅色襯在雪白的蛋糕上，美得讓我不拾得把它切了。裏面是照著世界知名的紐約　Magnolia　Bakery　老闆娘　Allysa Torey　的　"More from Magnolia"　食譜裡的魔鬼蛋糕。無邪天使的雪白外表有著誘人沉淪黑巧克力內心．．．Hmmmm

Hand piping roses are not as difficult as they look, however, they do require lots of practice. My little domestic helper HM would back up my story. She watches me do it so many times now she can pipe butter-cream roses better than me!

Cuppy Cakes

You're my honeybunch, sugar plum. Pumpy-umpy-umpkin.
You're my sweetie pie. You're my cuppycake, gumdrop.
Snoogums, boogums, you're the apple of my eye.
And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'm always be right here and I want to sing
Sweet songs to you because you are so dear...

What a lovely song by Judianna Castle!

I caught the cup cake fever! My dear sister-in-law gave me a cupcake cook book for Christmas (Thank you! Juline XXX) and the rest is history. I am in love with the idea of dressing up each little tasty morsel with sprinkles, confetti and of course, jellybeans.

For My Peter Pan

Hubby is forever young at heart, just to put it nicely. For

his birthday, I made this carrot cake covered with home-

made fondant. A hit in the office! Being designers, they

decided to have a photo-shoot.

Photographer: self-acclaimed super photographer A.

Assistants: forever enduring H and sugar addict B.

This carrot cake recipe has traveled the world.

Ushla, friend of my dear mother-in-law, is German who

hails from South Africa now lives in England. A very well-

groomed lady, whose recipe is surprisingly down to earth.

This is my favorite carrot cake by far, it's tender and

moist with sweet aroma that reminds you of all the good

things in your (well, at least mine) childhood.

On top of all, it's a doodle to make!
