Harry Potter cupcakes

A friend ordered a HarryPotter cupcakes for her son who is a big fan of the series.  12 pieces of chocolate fudge cupcakes with chocolate ganache.  This was my first theme cupcakes and I had great time doing this.  To be honest, I am not fond of red fondant, after adding so much gel, it tends to be a bit more softer than the other colours.  But nevertheless I was happy how the red came out.  Now I have to think of ways to use up the balance coloured fondant :D

Mosque Cake for a wedding gift exchange


My aunty called me about a week before her wedding and asked me if I can make her a cake as a gift exchange.  Of course I was delighted and took the chance to play with fondant again *LOL* She didn't say what she wanted and left everything to me to decide.  After much thought, I decided to do a mosque cake which I think was the most appropriate to give to her then husband to be.  I like things that are simple and so came up with this.  This is not entirely my creation as I got the inspiration from a box that is shaped as a mosque.  I scaled it down and finally end up with this.  As I was running out of time, I used styrofoam for the dome :-P  Overall I was pretty pleased and glad that they loved it... including the cake *LOL*

Simplified motorbike fondant cake

So my sister-in-law called me up to order a cake for her nephew's engagement. She wanted something different other than the normal flowery cakes and mentioned motorbike/motorcycle. I am so not into 3D and plus the very unpredictable weather, I decided to do something cute. So after checking the internet, I got inspired by one done by David Maccarfrae. Of course mine is far from his because I did not put any scenery to it as I wanted it to be as simple as I possibly can. So here is the simple cake, it was fun doing this as I had my first experience with Satin Ice fondant. I really like the texture as it is not as soft as Pettinice. Taste wise is also great unlike Wilton's ones.
