Introducing my newest edition to the sugar family!

Design inspired by Sweet Tiers

The design of this cake was a sample picture provided by my client and she wanted something really grand for her son's christening. She also picked the colors white and gold to match the grand feel to it. T also requested for the toppers on top. I was more than delightful to hear that i was going to make more baby booties, rattle and dummies! They are just too cute!

Hello my dear readers,

Regarding my header above, i will be developing a new site soon!! That is why i've been slacking in updating this blog :p

Here's the inside to it:-

The new site is addressed at www.mysweetheartsbakery.com and this blog will be moved to mysweetheartsbakeryblog.com. 

The difference is that the new site will be an official business website where clients can order their cakes, view samples and flavors. This blog will mainly be dedicated to updates for what's going on with My Sweethearts Bakery kitchen.  

The move won't be for another month but i thought i just give a heads up to all of my lovely readers :). So stay tune! 

Oh yes, don't worry, i will make a BIG post announcement when the new site is up and ready!

This is my newest order for the week and it was for a baby shower. The theme was pearl blue as the expected baby was a BOY! M wanted something simple and sweet so she chose this design and she also created a very lovely poem to go on her cake. I must say that i really love the poem she created!

I love the baby feet! 

Wordless Wednesday

Winter's finally here. 

It's been so cold lately. Not that it is a bad thing, I love the cold and the rain especially on the days where i have no intention of leaving the house. Most of the time when it rains, it makes me wonder, makes me think, makes me dream. and also makes me hungry :)

ps: don't get me wrong but i love summer too!! 

Here's how Chico snuggles up during winter, under my bed in his little cubby hole 

Remember in my last post about baby booties, rattle and teddies?

Its done! M collected it this morning and she absolutely loved it! :)

Stay tune for another baby cake next week!

Some sneak peak on the Christening Cake i'm working on this week :P

These are the picture i promised!

I practically did a all round 360 shot of this cake. A good way to make full use of my new Nikon baby ;p

I've used the roses i made yesterday as the topper with purple butterflies. What do u think of it? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Pink and purple Christening Cake with butterflies

I've been questioned several times on how the cakes are stacked and i thought i'll give a little insight on how i do mine :)

First we start by covering the board with fondant and use your favorite ribbon to cover the ends. The board will then look like this

Close up on the ribbon i used. I bought this from Lindcraft at the lace section. Like it? I think it gives it a very classy touch to it.

My ribbon box. Have a dig!

First i covered the bottom tier with fondant

The smoothen it out with a smoother to get a finishing look.

The top tier

I've use two dowels (they are actually really thick skewers which i called dowel) in insert them into your bottom tier like this

Then use royal icing to cover the skewers which also helps to stick the top tier to the bottom tier

Last step is to place your top tier on top of the royal icing bits

Finally start decorating!

Purple butterflies

Name plaque

Oh yes! and of course these cakes are my very own favorite chocolate mud with ganache. This has actually been my popular sell out at the moment

My 2nd Christening cake in a week!

 *phew! two down , two more orders to go for the coming week*

This time its for a gorgeous baby girl, Alexis. I totally adore her smile, its sooooooo CUTE!!!

(Let me remind you besides me being a cake craze, baking craze person, i LOVE babies! Sometimes, i find myself wandering in Pumpkin Patch looking at baby toys, clothes, shoes, they are SO tiny and cute) *I can't wait to have kids~

The theme obviously was all pink and white with teddies, exploding stars and baby blocks. How cute huh? 

The cake is about 12 inch with an 8 inch top and my my, it was one heavy cake altogether. I would think its about 10kgs or even more!!!       *i might be a little exaggerating*

Big thanks for YOONG!! for helping me to mould the fondant and cover the massive 12inch bottom tier.

*claps! and hugs Yoong* I'm officially hiring him to be my fondant person :)

Fadi and Carla absolutely adored the cake! (Did i also mention that they are one very lovely couple?) 

I hope to see them again soon with baby 2! :p

The first tier of the cake (white chocolate with ganache) Yum!

I swear it WAS NOT easy making the blocks, it kept slipping cause it was so small and delicate. I had to be really really careful when covering the blocks. so far, it turned out not too bad 

(Grade: B)

Ta-dah! Baby blocks with deco

The final masterpiece done~

The top tier with pink teddy and exploding stars

Don't this just make you feel starry and pinky?

You know, I'm not normally a big fan of pink ..........but I'm starting to like this pink. Its kinda growing on me. B)

So who is next on my list of to-do's?

Frank's 21st!

No wait, i need to finish my daring baker's challenge first~

Post date is coming Monday, so stay tune for more pictures~!

Toodles~
