'We Bare Bears'-in-Box Chiffon Cake

'We Bare Bears' popping out of a box! 1, 2, 3.. which is your favorite? <3 This cake is an extension of my previous 'Ice Bear-in-Box Chiffon Cake'.

And here is a more side view =).   Always love We bare Bears so much!! Don't they look so cosy! Hope they made you smile as they made me while I was making them! <3 With lots of ...

'Basket of Yellow Orchids' Pandan Kaya Cake

This is another bake that I had time to study and mull over. Yellow orchid themed pandan kaya cake for some guests to Singapore! I made a similar cake for my mum's birthday a month plus ago. The same design of partial basket weave cake (basket weave made entirely out of gula melaka chiffon sponge) revealing the alternate layers of pandan gula melaka chiffon sponge and pandan Gula melaka pudding, except that I made a square cake instead of a round one. I also used the same recipe for...

Princess Mermaid Chiffon Cake

Princess Mermaid Chiffon Cake, filled with a jelly surprise! The beautiful photo above is taken by the talented @mmlittlee. I wish I could take photos like her! The backdrop was also beautifully done by her. The cake was modeled after Ufufy Princess Ariel and entirely decorated with chiffon cake. The tricky part was baking a huge sheet cake big enough for the hair! I managed to find a picture of the jelly inside. There was more jelly in the top side. Thank God cake was very well-received,...

Dinosaur Choux Pastries on Kiwis n Cream Chiffon Cake (Dairy-free)

My friend requested for a dinosaur themed bake for her son. Her family loves the strawberries n cream cakes I bake so she requested for another fresh fruit n cream cake again. She was game to try choux pastry so I took up the challenge of creating the dinosaurs and backdrop using choux pastry!

Hurricane Chiffon Cake - Two Versions

Happy to revisit Hurricane Chiffon Cake after 1 year! My previous Hurricane Chiffon Cake had both top and side Hurricane. This round I experimented more with the side Hurricane.

The main difference in the technique between the two versions was that for Type 2, I dragged the spoon/spatula an extra "up" stroke . I managed to film videos this round to make the sketches more obvious. The new version of...
