Tinkerbell Tier Chiffon Cake

This is a Tinkerbell-themed Tier Chiffon Cake for a very dear friend’s daughter Eva! The cake was inspired by the fairy’s home in the Enchanted Forest, among the giant vines, flowers, pink mushrooms and butterflies! The cake was green, pink and purple-themed according to Tinkerbell, hence perfect for the pandan chiffon cake (green) and strawberry chiffon cake (pink) lover. I had shared about the mushroom chiffon pops previously. The green vines were made from pandan chiffon...

Dinosaurs Paradise Cocoa-Pandan Chiffon Cake (with Chocolate Chiffon Volcano!)

This is a cute chibi version of dinosaurs basking in their paradise. I made the dinosaurs by baking chiffon cake batter in these tiny cake molds. I got them from overseas but I think my friend found it at Phoon huat. I also made a cute volcano out of chocolate chiffon cake baked in a small round bowl and used it to hide marshmallows in the tube hole. The chiffon cake is all naturally coloured. The dual tone chiffon cake is made of pandan chiffon cake (top) and chocolate chiffon...

Soccerball Macarons (no refrigeration required)

Here are my soccerball macarons along with the request for soccerball cookies :) As refrigeration was an issue for storage and these macs have to be displayed outdoors in hot and humid Singapore, I chose fillings that can withstand higher temperatures - dark chocolate, white chocolate and peanut butter! Simple white round shells were baked for the base so I will not go into details for making the shell. You may refer to this post for making white shells (just use regular icing sugar...

'Dinosaur' Strawberries n Cream Chiffon Cake II (with new baking technique)

I have a request for the exact same dinosaur cake that I made last year for a little boy named Nathan. This birthday boy is also called Nathan! Except that an orange dinosaur with green spines and yellow spots is requested this time :). I was afraid that this fella would turn out looking psychedelic. But he's rather cute don't you think? :p The design may be similar but I made quite a few changes this time. Dino is of course orange flavoured to match the colour. Vanilla bean swiss...

Totoro and friends Chiffon Cake!

As I'm writing this, the song "Totoro, totoro" rings in my head! I’m a huge fan of Japanese anime thus was really happy when I got a request for Totoro! It's been my dream to make Naruto or One Piece hehe. He wanted not one but all 3 Totoro for his wife and requested for standing configuration (else I wouldn’t be so adventurous!). So here is my valiant attempt =). The big Totoro is made of charcoal and matcha chiffon cake from an oval bowl, the medium and chibi Totoro from...

Soccer Ball Brown Sugar Cookies

I have a request for bakes after a soccer match that can withstand outdoor display in hot and humid Singapore for some time. The best candidate is of course brown sugar cookies! These cookies are yummy and are baked using a cookie recipe that is adapted from gingerbread houses, which do very well staying out in the open for a long time. I made these soccerball cookies along with some soccerball macarons! Macarons with "heat-resistant" fillings of course :p. A corner of the soccer...

I bought some new Tovolo heart shaped ice cube trays that are bigger than the current one I have in preparation for a big longevity peach bake in the near future.
