baby bear is coming!

my friend (mr bear) is expecting his first baby, and it's a BOY! this is for baby shower :)

and it's not just about the baby, it's also about mama and papa, so i made them cookies too.
if you wonder why mama is a panda, that's because she's a BIG fan of panda...

looking forward to seeing baby bear.

little angel

this little angel in my life has been asking me to make her birthday cakes for the last few years, from princess to mermaid. this year, she has moved on to angels...

i tried making the wings with cookies, and they turned out to be too heavy for the angel to "carry", so i made them from rice krispies treats, coated with shredded coconut. seems to work better, and i love the leftover rice krispies treats. i also tried to use a new recipe for the whipped cream, tasted so good that i kept on eating the leftover...

happy birthday, J!

what? butter sponge cake with mascarpone cream

love making new characters, and putting smiles on kids' face, here's my new collection of the angry birds gang --

 

I actually quite like them when they were half-way done, "looking" at me without their eyes, haha

what? vanilla cupcakes with citrus buttercream icing

My favourite character!

The thought of making a birthday cake for myself never occured to me, but there's always a first time. So I decided to make a cake with my favourite cartoon character -- SNOOPY with his infamous red doghouse...

I particularly like his tummy, sticking out, just like mine, hahaha

A very belated "happy birthday to me!"

what? chocoate cake
occasion? MY birthday
