Suzy’s Zoo Baby Witzy Duck Chiffon Cake

This is a Suzy’s Baby Witzy Duck made from Orange chiffon cake. The duck is happily lying on a green Pandan chiffon cake base. I really loved making this cake myself as I loved Suzy's Zoo when I was in school! It was based on the picture she sent me that I couldn't seem to find anywhere else. The baby duck face and small body were made from baking Orange chiffon cake in round glass bowls similar to Hatching Chicks with added natural tumeric-based yellow...

Dairy-Free Hello Kitty and Snoopy Brown Sugar Cookies

I have a request for dairy-free Hello Kitty and Snoopy cookies for a party so here they are! Only 4 here but I made 22 Kitties and 13 Snoopies! As the number of cookies is quite a lot, I chose to make just the head of the characters. The recipe is adapted from my all time favorite brown sugar cookies with royal icing. Simply substitute the unsalted butter with vegetable shortening. You will find that the dough is easier to work with too. Less sticky but still remains soft and pliable...

3D Hello Kitty Figurine 3-Tier Chiffon Cake

This is a loving Hello Kitty creation following my Hello Kitty Doll Chiffon Cake. Instead of a big Hello Kitty doll, here I made a cute little Hello Kitty figurine from chiffon cake. Some of you may remember the Hello Kitty chiffon pops I made for my daughter’s birthday last year? I made the figurine by placing the small Hello Kitty face pops on a chiffon cake cut out from a cone to make the dress. The top tier is flowers-themed and a cream vanilla chiffon. The middle is...

Keroppi Matcha Macarons with Azuki Bean Swiss Meringue Buttercream

I made these for fun along with Hello Kitty macarons. Originally intended to be given to my kids but they were all snapped up by the lady who requested for Keroppi cookies!  Presenting my totally naturally coloured and flavoured Matcha Keroppi macarons with Azuki bean swiss meringue buttercream (smbc)! I was getting muddled after piping 90 Hello Kitty macaron shells and seeing stars by the end of drawing 45 Kitty faces so I didn't do a very good job for Keroppi. I piped the...

Princess Sofia Doll Chiffon Cake (Blueberry Chiffon)

Princess Sofia is really small and cute! This is a Princess Sofia Doll version of my previous Elsa Doll Chiffon Cake. Here, I baked a blueberry chiffon cake (scale to 6 egg yolk recipe) in a doll cake tin to form the base of the gown. I have since found a way to prevent the blueberry from making the cake patchy. I made blueberry juice using the powder first and then used a coffee filter to remove the blueberry bits. Since Princess Sofia is petite, only the doll cake tin was required....

Hello Kitty Macarons with Chocolate Ganache (& mild rose flavoured shells)

I have been making cute macarons for about half a year and this is the first time I have a request for Hello Kitty macarons. Hello Kitty with hands on face! Not just a Hello Kitty head. Here they are! Mild rose flavoured shells with chocolate ganache Other than pandas, Hello Kitty is probably one of the most popular fancy macarons around so what I made is not unique. I was wondering how to inject the wonderful aroma of rosebuds into the shells without adding moisture into the macaron...

Dumbo Chiffon Cake (Charcoal-colored)

This is a flying dumbo I made last year near Christmas. I wanted it to have a magical dreamy feel. Do you see it flying out from the cake? :p The elephant is naturally colored with charcoal powder. The face is made from baking charcoal chiffon cake (just a small dip of charcoal for the grey, add to shade) in a small 11 mm Iwaki bowl (reduce baking time to 30 min), and then slightly carving the sides to get the indent. Pour the excess batter into a paper cone for the elephant nose...

Keroppi Shortbread Cookies (icing-free, naturally coloured and made without specialized cookie cutters!)

I have a request for Keroppi cookies and I decided to make them naturally coloured and icing-free! I was about to make the same old favorite brown sugar cookies with royal icing. On the day that I decided to bake, I thought why not take the chance to bake something healthier since Keroppi is a very good candidate for this type of cookie with simple colours and shapes. If kids were not consuming the cookies, I would jump at the chance to colour the cookies green using Matcha powder....

Pink Care Bears Strawberry-Vanilla Chiffon Cake

Don’t you find Care Bears 'oh-so-sweet'? I grew up in the era where I looked forward to Care Bears every week on TV! I always loved their “Care Bear Stare” (a.k.a. tummy power), where they will stand together to radiate light from their tummy symbols which combine to form a ray of love into the target's heart!! So magical and sweet! So I was super thankful that I got the chance to make my childhood fave! The pink Care Bear is made entirely from Strawberry Chiffon Cake, baked in 3...

Milk & Honey Chiffon Cupcakes with Rainbow Swiss Meringue Buttercream

I have a request for quite a big batch of cupcakes with rainbow cream. This is my first attempt at cupcakes with cream so pardon my amateurish piping. I still have lots to learn and practice. Presenting my humble attempt, topped with red chiffon hearts! Here's 2 of them but I actually made more than 50. The request was for 42 cupcakes but I had more than enough batter so I made extra. My neighbors and kids had the extras and said the cakes were yummy! I used milk and honey chiffon...
