Paw Patrol 'Chase' Chiffon Cake

This is my humble attempt at a Paw Patrol 'Chase' Chiffon Cake for a dear mummy friend some time back! Thank God it was well-received and everyone said it looked like stuffed toy! For those who are not familiar, 'Chase' is the name of a police dog in the cartoon Paw Patrol. Very cute cartoon with pups sliding down a long slide round the tower each time there's a rescue mission. For the base cake, I used the same recipe as my previous Chocolate-Orange Giraffe Chiffon Cake, except...

Red Velvet Cream Cheese and Gula Melaka Sponge & Pudding Dahlia Cupcakes

I have a request for a new flavour of sponge and pudding cake along with my tried and tested (and very well received!)  gula melaka flavour -- red velvet cream cheese sponge and pudding cake! The lady who requested for the cupcakes saw the ombre Dahlia cupcakes I made for my friend earlier this year and wanted the same design. I took the liberty of adding a little greens to the pretty flowers :) I will focus on providing the recipe for red velvet cream cheese sponge and pudding...

Ondeh-Ondeh and Pulut Hitam Sheep Macarons (New recipe!)

I have the privilege of baking for Victoria's little girl's first month celebration. I am a fan of Victoria's bakes and am really happy and excited for this chance to bake for her! She requested for sheep macarons as the little one is her little lamb given by God, and her name is Love :) Ondeh-Ondeh and Pulut Hitam flavours! Victoria challenged me to make macarons with these two unique Asian flavours and I think I rose up to the challenge :p. I have made Ondeh-Ondeh macarons before...

Sweet ‘Lamb’ Cloud pasture-Rainbow Chiffon Cake

I’m very privileged to make this cake for my dear friend Victoria’s baby’s full month celebration. Super happy for her! While making this cake (and such a coincidence as this was Good Friday and Easter week), I was also greatly ministered to and reminded of God’s love for us in giving his only Son Jesus (who died on the cross and rose again) so that we could be reconciled to God. There was much love in making this cake too. The top tier is a new creation: cloud sky chiffon cake with...

I couldn't resist having fun with these macarons in the midst of a busy period where I perhaps have accomodated too many last minute small quantity requests.

Both regular and reduced sugar recipes can be found here. You may refer to my Creative Baking: Macarons book...

Brown Sugar Killer Toast Pull-Apart Buns (Gospel message included!)

I have a request for pull-apart buns later part of June but since I haven't baked bread for ages due to the many requests for macarons, cakes and cookies, I decided to do some practice bakes. I have always marvelled at the softness of the killer-toast recipe recommended by Victoria Bakes and decided to give it a try. Do check out Victoria's blog post for the original recipe! The buns really are able to stay soft for a few days! With Good Friday and Easter coming up, I thought it would...

Reduced-sugar Lychee and Earl Grey Penguin Chiffon Cupcakes (cooked dough method)

A friend requested for some penguin cupcakes for her birthday because she loves these adorable creatures. As only 8 cupcakes were requested, I have the freedom to be more meticulous about the design. Here are some of the cupcakes, both 2D and 3D versions! All parts are made of 100% Chiffon sponge! My friend requested for reduced sugar as her elderly relatives are eating the cupcakes too. I thought of revisiting the cooked dough method of making chiffon cakes as sugar is often omitted...
