Sheep Brown Sugar Cookiepops

Here are some sheep brown sugar cookiepops :) If they look familiar to you, that's because they have appeared a couple of times on our blog in the form of macarons and gingerbread cookies. Please refer to my updated post for brown sugar cookies for the cookie and royal icing recipe. If you have not seen my old cookie posts, you may wonder how I manage to make cookies of so many different shapes. I make my own templates out of clear plastic files that you can easily find at stationery...

'Thomas the Train' Blue pea flowers-2-tone Pandan Chiffon Cake

Ah Thomas the train again! It seems to be so popular among kids. It's one of the hardest characters to make as faces are really difficult to sculpt, but it was requested by a close mummy friend so it was really difficult to refuse her (usually toppers would have been required). The is sculpted from a 'bowl' chiffon cake, and mounted at the side of a 6-inch Blue pea flowers chiffon cake. I also cut blue strip and grey strips from sheet cakes to complete the Thomas profile, using melted...

Wedding Brown Sugar Cookies

I mentioned earlier in my Teacher's Day cookie post that I have a huge batch of 400 brown sugar cookies to make for a wedding. Here are some of them :) When you have 400 decorative cookies to make within a limited time frame, some careful thought has to go into planning the design. My cousin wanted the initials of the bride and groom with a cross in the middle to represent the centrality of Jesus Christ in their marriage. Her colour theme for the wedding is blue and therefore the ombre...

BB-8 droid Chiffon Cake

I made this BB-8 cute robot from chiffon cake for dearest Joash and one of my closest mummy friends! Previous years I made the Lego and Transformers Chiffon Cakes. In fact the Lego chiffon was one of my first cakes when I started out so there's a lot of nostalgia and I had to try making BB-8 when he requested it. I realise I still haven't posted my Transformers cake! =p The BB-8 shape is obtained by combining two bowl or ball pan cakes, and the top was from a 5-cm cake pop mold....
