Pandan Kaya Gula Melaka Flower Pot Cupcakes II

My friend loves my Pandan kaya Gula Melaka sponge and pudding cake as it's flavourful, fragrant, refreshing and not too sweet. She wanted the flower pot design I made three years ago for her birthday but in her preferred colours. It's great to revisit old designs again! Revisiting old designs means that improvements or more convenient changes can be made as I gain more experience. So in this post I will share two tips that are helpful for this kind of bake. I more or less stuck with...

Snow White Princess Chiffon Cake

Can you guess which Disney princess is this? 💕 My daughter requested for this Disney princess for her birthday. It is made entirely from chiffon cake, and naturally colored using the natural range from Magic colours. I got this from Bake King. I am very thankful the design and idea for the Snow white panned out, as I didn't have a model to follow.  The little Snow White also looks a little like my daughter hehe.. I kind of modelled after her =p. The skirt is baked in...

Happy Cat Macaron Carousel III

I prefer making personalized birthday bakes that are meaningful and special to the birthday boy or girl. I also prefer not to repeat designs. That's how this macaron carousel came about even though it's my third time making a happy cat macaron carousel. It's for a little boy who loves cats, candy and fish 😊 The carousel is filled with vanilla white chocolate buttercream and strawberry dark chocolate ganache You may take a look at my first two happy cat macaron carousels over here...

'Piggy Family' Homemade Honey Marshmallows

The Piggy family having a relaxing and warm reunion =). Don't they look happy? This is the last of my Piggy bakes (technically not a bake, because no baking is required =p). I tried this because my kids love marshmallows. And these marshmallows are so soft and compressible! And less sweet unlike those bought from shops! They are also made from honey so that it is healthy and vanilla flavored =). Hope you like this creation! The recipe is shared below. I made some adaptations, especially...

I used the regular Swiss method recipe for the hearts and the reduced-sugar version for the teacups. I had extra red batter left from making display pieces for my boy and girl CNY macaron class so I decided to...
