Cupcakes with custard powder

I found a recipe on the internet where custard powder was added in the batter. Haven't tried that before. Anyway, the results: not bad. It is definitely an added flavour and taste great when it just came out of the oven. I did some decorating and these went to my daughter's kinder...

Cupcakes!

A fun weekend project with a couple of friends...results: delish!

Thanks K. Zareena for the knowledge!

Banana Choc Chip Muffins I and II

I made these for 2 different occassions...

Muffin I

Muffin II

(with extra toppings)

These are still great after a couple of days provided you keep in an airtight container in the fridge, then microwave for a few seconds before eating them.

Rainbow butter cake

I've always wanted to bake a colourful cake and finally, I did. This is a butter cake with 4 pastel colours: yellow, baby blue, baby pink and pastel green.

Mini Donuts

So, one weekend, I felt like having donuts, but not those big ones. I wanted something small and cute. I had the mini donut cutter so the making-the-shape-part was easy. After it was done, at first I thought of just tossing them into castor/icing sugar..instead, I turned it into a mini project with my daughter and decorated them. Since they were minis..just the right size for a single bite! (maybe, two..)

Dessert Cuppies for Wedding

These are cupcakes for a wedding, not as door gift but as desserts. Initially, I wanted to stick to one pattern, one colour which would be easier for massive production. But then, I thought, why not jazz it up by having several colours and let the guests wanting to try 'em all?

also mini ones for the main table...

Chocolate Cake with Strawberries

I made a chocolate cake with cream cheese filling, with chocolate ganache and topped with halved strawberries. This was for a party at a friend's house. The cake arrived and gone within minutes!

sloppy sides, picture taken before I repaired them...

1 Year Old Cake

Here's a No.1 cake that I baked last year and decorated without any tools at hand..hence, the sloppy finishes but one very happy birthday boy (my son, that is...)

Roses Cupcakes

My first buttercream rose...a little on the flat side...:(


a garden of white and red roses...put 'em together, any imperfections diminished!



Another occassion...

peach and yellow roses mini cuppies (phew!)

Fun Kids Cuppies

I attended a fun cupcake deco class for beginners at Glenroy West Kindergarten (my daughter's kinder) last year. The icing was ready and all we had to do is decorate our home-baked cupcakes...

First Cupcake

I baked my first batch of cupcakes awhile ago with little or no talent at all...A lot have improved since! :)

The topping/icing part : royal icing, chocolate and white chocolate, crispy rice, 100s and 1000s, some pecans and choc chips...

Castle Cake

This is a beginner's luck. It was in 2008, when my daughter turned 4. She wanted a castle cake for her birthday. With no decorating tools at all, I simply used buttercream in several colours, placed them in a plastic bag and puched a tiny hole to do some major freehand decorating. Ta-dah!

The Cake? Cream cheese filled Chocolate Cake.

Spring Cuppies

Here's a few cuppies which I whipped up during my stay in Melbourne. Thanks to a set of newly-bought Wilton tools and hours of staring at flowers, petals and trying out what works, finally the end product, I aptly named them 'Spring Cuppies'.
