Empowerpuff Powerpuff Girls Chiffon Cake

Happy Mother's Day to all the super Power mums!! <3 I am super honored and humbled to be on Cartoon Network for Mother's day as an Empowerpuff. This cake was specially commissioned by them for the special campaign. You can watch the full video here.

Sorry for the break in posting. Some of you may have known, my youngest daughter was warded in hospital for the whole week so I wasn't home. It was a difficult time for us, but also a time I felt the love and support of our church. Our pastors, DG mates and friends all reached out to pray for us.

Praise the Lord for the best Mother's day gift ever: my daughter is discharged and miraculously healed today! We are still amazed and will be monitoring her at home, but super grateful!!

Anyway such a coincidence, that Cartoon Network's campaign was also on Mother's day. It is really not easy to be a mother, but it is also such a blessing to have children too. My heart is full of gratitude for this Mother's day!

With lots of love,

Susanne =)

Powerpuff Girls 20th Anniversary Chiffon Cake

Super honoured and thankful to be commissioned by Cartoon Network to make a Powerpuff Girls Cake for their 20th Anniversary!! Love those girls who save the world! Really thank God the cake was well-received by Cartoon Network! You can see their Instagram and FB posts here.

You can imagine how surprised I was and very thankful. The chiffon cake was lots of hard work though, taking over a week to design and make, including 1 remake. Really really thank God it worked out! Hope you like this labour of love too! <3

I have shared recipe for Tri-colour Rainbow Chiffon Cake before here. This is a big 10-inch chiffon cake, so the recipe is multiplied by 3. Baking conditions for 10-inch: 15 min at 160°C, 10 min at 150°C and then at 140°C for 1 hr.

The Powerpuff girls were the difficult part of the creation because of all the details. Briefly, the face was made by piping chiffon cake batter in glass bowls, so the features were baked into them (protocol follow Hello kitty chiffon cupcakes). The body was made from baking a mini striped chiffon cake in a cupcake liner. Other details are cut from sheet cakes (eg the hair) and shaped and also cut from cake pops. These were glued on using melted marshmallows. For step-by-step pics of these techniques, you can refer to Deco Chiffon Cake Basics cookbook (book cover below). I think in all I had like 12 bowls of different colours and shades of chiffon cake batter!

Here is the shot right after I sliced into the cake =). Very stressful to slice always hehe.

Cut slices!

Just to mention here, the cut slices inside the rainbow chiffon cake are not straight, this is due to the expansion effect within the tube pan and it's normal! =) I had many people ask me that they cannot get straight lines inside the rainbow chiffon cake. Actually It's perfectly normal! =)
