Happy new year everyone!!

I'm now back in Sydney trying to climatize myself to the time difference and weather. For all of you who don't know, i was away for the last month in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. It was one word A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

i really should do this more often . :)

Several months ago, i was asked by a dear friend to make her wedding cake. Today was the day.

I am so happy to be able to share this day with her and also be making her wedding cake!

This is my first time that i've actually made a wedding cake and attended the reception as well. I must say that i am proud and thankful to hear all the lovely comments of the cakes and cookies.

This makes me feel like floating on cloud 9 :)

Their theme was sunshine yellow and white and the bride instantly fell in love with one of my previous display cakes from this post spring/summer. They also chose some vanilla sugar cookies as their placement cards on the dining tables. It was a lovely idea and it totally matched the theme.

Here are more cupcakes in boxes ready to be taken home by each guest

I love how each boxes has a little window for a peek look of what's inside.

OK. I LIED!

In my last post, i said that i wasn't going to bake due to exams but you know, i tend to release my stress by baking plus i really really wanted to make full use of my spanking new majestic yellow KITCHEN AID! :P 

*note: my new mixer purchase wasn't just an impulse buy but my trusty cheap mixer died so i had to invest in something larger! prettier! and it had to have my new fav color-yellow!*

First i wanted to spend a couple of hours making Y's favorite Madeira Baby but i also got distracted by vanilla sugar cookies! Oh i hate having the feeling of wanting to do soooo many things in the kitchen in very limited time. I took out the butter from the fridge and sat there thinking of what to do next.... Madeira or Cookies or Madeira or Cookie Madeira or Cookie Madeira or Cookie Madeira or Cookie Madeira or Cookie???????

.................

After all the debate in my head, i ended making both Madeira cake with buttercream meringue and vanilla sugar cookies. That took my whole of Sat and Sun but i'm happy and stress-free!

Another session of caake photography.

Here goes the cake walk!

Hello everyone!

I've been a busy little bee every since uni started this week. GROANS!! But since it the first week, i've been able to sneak to the kitchen to make some cupcake on a stick! It's not actually done yet, but in the mean time i made a cupcake stand for A. Sim's dinner this weekend. I was planning to make some cupcakes as dessert. YUM! No pictures of the cupcakes yet but here's the up and coming stand!
