Chiffon Rainbow ‘Drip’ Cake with Chiffon 'Lollipops'

Here's my first Chiffon Rainbow “Drip cake”! It's for a lovely mummy friend's sweet girl Olivia, and thankful it was well-loved!

I was really nervous but thankful it panned out neatly!  Creative baking: Chiffon Cakes The sweet chiffon 'lollipops' will be in Deco Chiffon Cakes coming soon within the next one two...

Sheep Matcha Macaron Carousel

Ever since I posted the pink unicorn macaron carousel, I have been getting lots of requests for macaron carousels. I had to turn down many of them due to my full baking schedule. I was secretly hoping someone would request for a different design because I don't like to repeat my designs. Here's a variation of carousel that I had fun with although the assembly was nerve wrecking as usual. Presenting my first sheep themed macaron carousel! I used matcha to colour the shells a little...

'Monster Truck' Snowy Chiffon Cake

Can you spot the odd one out among the Monster trucks? ;) This was a very unique request for a friend. She wanted me to make one chiffon Monster truck together with her toy pals on a snowy Frozen landscape. If you find this cake familiar, yes the cake and recipe is in Creative baking: Chiffon Cakes! It may look simple but carving and assembling of the Monster truck was a lot of work! I was rather apprehensive about this project but thankful the cake came out well and it was well-received. Am...

Pandan Kaya Gula Melaka Cupcake Dahlias

This was an unplanned bake that blessed a friend's father on Father's Day. Pandan kaya gula melaka sponge and pudding cupcakes topped with chiffon cake Dahlias! I needed to do a trial for drippy pudding down the sides of a bigger floral sponge and pudding cake so I took the chance to make a few cupcakes for my friend who has been patiently waiting for a chance to taste my Pandan kaya gula melaka cake that many people raved about at the high tea. You may refer to this post for the...

Watermelon Fruits-themed Tier Chiffon Cake (Watermelon & Pandan-flavored)

This was made for my dear friend’s daughter, Eva! Last year I made Tinkerbell Tier Chiffon Cake for her. This cake may look effortless but it was really a lot of work! So I'm really thankful managed to pulled it off and it was well-received. This is the first time I’m trying out Watermelon-flavoured Chiffon Cake for the Chiffon ‘Watermelon’. The watermelon taste is a bit subtle I have to admit, but nice and light according to my friend. Fruity flavours without zest are harder to come...

Descendants of the Sun Plush Toy Macarons with Lemon Filling

I seldom have the capacity or motivation to bake items for fun unless I have the compulsion to make them. This bake is one of them :). It's for a special friend whom I come to know because of macarons, lemon curd and the ever popular K-drama Descendants of the Sun. What better way to do something special for a friend than to combine the things that came up during our blossoming friendship than this creation! Fox and rabbit plush toy macarons with lemon white chocolate ganache and lemon...

3D Anpanman Chiffon Cake

This is a cute 3D Anpanman made from chiffon cake, that's my largest 3D chiffon figurine so far, measuring 9-inch tall and 8-inch wide! It was slightly nerve-wreaking but thankful it was very well-received! It's modelled after a cute 3D Anpanman inflatable toy I saw from a toy store in Mt Fuji, Japan. 'Anpan' translates to 'azuki bean bread' in Japanese, a well-loved bread bun in every culture! Perhaps our local version of the superhero will be 'red bean roti boy! =p I really had...

Cupcakes & Ice-cream Cone Shortbread Cookies

I have a request for a whooping 100 shortbread cookies in the shape of ice-cream cones and cupcakes. Here they are :) These are modelled after the macarons that appear on the cover page of my Creative Baking: Macarons book. Shortbread cookies have the advantage of containing less sugar as decoration with royal icing is kept to the minimum. The sugar content in the cookie dough is not too high either. I combined the ingredients together in a different way from how I did it previously....
