Last week, a really lovely client (baby's father) ordered a cake to welcome his newborn and his wife's. It was not exactly a party or a baby shower but his main purpose was "my wife just loves cake".

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Isn't he the best husband and father?

He wanted something in the theme of owls so I created this design to help him celebrate the home coming of his newborn and wife.

Congratulation Michael and Jenny!

and Welcome baby Charlie!

When we think about weddings, what colours come to mind? Our course the pinks, whites, greens and the all time favorite black and white. I think recently, there's been an increase in weddings that chooses black and white as their theme colour.

Don't get me wrong, I do like this colour, in fact in the last few months, I've been asked numerous times by many clients to recreate this black and white themed cake.

I'm glad recently my client approached me and wanted something similar but wants to add a little off herself in the cake. Her theme was traveling with birds and bird cages as their table placements. Her colours was black but instead of using white, she choose to use ivory which I think matches really well with black. Here's the cake of the week. Enjoy :)

First let me do a long........................... PHEW! *wipes my sweat*

It has been such a hectic month with heaps of girl cakes and the colour pink! I don't usually fancy the colour pink as my wardrobe or my choice of colour but I certainly do like working with pink in cakes. It does somehow do a magic touch, especially to girls cakes. Perhaps it brings out the cute and lovely side of things.

This cake would be one of my favorites. My client wanted to incorporate cherry blossom into her little girls christening. Perhaps the picture doesn't do the cake much justice but it does go well together doesn't it?

Another pink with butterflies for a little girl's christening. This would be my 4th time doing the same design but in different shades of pink. Its a rather simple design but it just looks so pretty and lovely!

This is a 2D tree cake. Inspired by the website Belle and Boo. Really like the colours and the tree. I was amazed myself on how well the tree looks and the colours.

Ordered by a guy who wanted to surprise his girlfriend for her birthday. They were here in Sydney for the weekend and he wanted something special for her. Her favorite colour was purple and favorite flowers were frangipanis so therefore, a present box cake would be perfect!

They really liked it and he sent me a text days later "Hi Lilia,

I bought a cake off you last week. Just wanted to pass on my thanks on the cake. It was fantastic and really tasty!"

It feels so lovely hearing from clients!

Garden inspired madhatter for a girl's 5th birthday. Her mother also wanted to have a teapot and teacup incorporated into her cake. Perhaps, that is why it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland :)

60th Madhatter Cake

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I last blogged. Past few months has just been CRAZY hectic!

Just a little update, I'm all done with uni! I am now an official graduate with a bachelors degree.

What a fancy feeling but in actual fact, I don't think it means anything at all. Oh well, this is just fantastic and it also means that I can spend more time baking and decorating and move a step further in life.

At the moment, I'm fully focusing on running My Sweethearts Bakery and dealing with lots of admin side of MSB. Besides all the admin crap, I'm just itching to make more models cakes right now as my past model cakes have been thrown away due to my recent move. I'm gathering ideas, colors, designs, themes and a million other things. My brain is full with designs. Kinda crazy but I LOVE IT!

I've just started teaching as well. I'm currently teaching at Couture Cake Classes, with two other fantastic decorators , Sharon from Sharon Wee and Louise from Cupcakes For Poppy. All has been going well and we have been getting overwhelmed responses from the classes. The site if not up yet but once it is up i'll be sure to post a link here.

I will also resume in posting recipes on this blog. My next mission is to work on macaroons. I've been longing to do some now but just time got in the way. However I do need a electronic scale machine and a pastry mat before I start. Apparently, those are a must buy for macaroon making. I guess I have to spend a little to get that macaroon of mine :)

This week, I will be spending my time making cookies for a christening and it is look so cute!

Also, here's what I did last week.

Precious puppies and bunnies for a little girls birthday. I hope she enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

This weeks creations.
