Baby Booties & Sugar Flowers Cake


Skyey's 100 days celebration cake

In Korea, on the 100th days after baby's birth, 
their family and friends gather and celebrate 
that the baby has been healthy and well this critical period.

My client asked me to use these lovely sweet colours; 
mint green, light purple & pink, yellow and white.

I'm so glad that I managed to put these all colours together in the cake thanks to my client.




Skyey's a gorgeous baby princess and I designed this cake based on the colours
 (requested by my client) which match Skey's dress 
she's going to wear on her celebration day.




Butterflies pink baby booties for Skyey :D
I hope she has an awesome day with her family!
Happy 100th, Skyey.

Surprise Gift for my friend, Allie



This post is dedicated to my friend, Allie 

We've known each other since we were in primary school. 
She is always kind,thoughtful and I admire her soft & warm heart. 
I've felt so lucky to be so close to her since she came to Australia to further study 
at Sydney University and i am very thankful for the time we've shared together.
It makes me sad that she is going back to Korea in a few days..

Aroma festival at Rocks

I took pictures of us whenever I had a chance,
 but I lost a track of some of great pictures! Its a  Shame.
I haven't showed her these photos so hope it is kind of a pleasant surprise for her.

My musical buddy=D
 I love watching musicals and concerts and she also loves them too. 
We've watched a few musicals and concerts together and had so much fun!
I'm going to miss you so much 
whenever I find a good musical or concert I would like to watch..


Because of my cupcake addiction, she got to try cupcakes whenever we met..
I always wanted to try new things and we loved to talk about flavours & textures of cupcakes.
Thanks to her, I tried some drinks I have never had at Starbucks & Boost because she used to work at
Starbucks so knows what's good and bad.
I kind of love everything she introduced me to like Booster's Mango Tango
 which is my go-to drink when I feel like a refreshing drink.


 She is a very easy-going person and not a picky eater at all!
We love sushi in general, yum-cha ( our favourite is mango pancakes! ), high tea time..
love trying new food.
Unlike my husband (Sorry, babe ;-P), I don't have to think .. ' What if she doesn't like it? ' 


Recently, we tried high tea classic at Tea Salon in Westfield, Centerpoint on Pitt St.
Even though we had to wait for almost 40 mins, 
it was worth waiting for because their scones were so gooood!


We had an awesome Indian dinner at Newtown to celebrate Allies' Graduation.
I'm so proud of her and admire all her hard work to finish her studies. 
I know she'll achieve her goals in her life and hope she is always happy 
and visits my family in the future again.

I'll see you in Korea next time, Allie.
Love you heaps!
xx

OCTONAUTS CAKE


OCTONAUTS CAKE
For Aidan's 6th Birthday

Vanilla cake with Strawberry Jam & Vanilla butter cream 
finished with dark chocolate ganache


When I just started cake decorating, 
Aidan's mum contacted me and asked me to make her son's 5th birthday cake (Poko cake)
and now, I'm posting about Aidan's 6th birthday cake! 
It always makes me feel so happy and motivated 
whenever I see my clients coming back for the next birthdays and events.


The bottom tiered cake has cute sea creatures 
because the Octonauts are happening under the sea.
I love  a cute little characters in the Octonauts and I made 4 figurines 
including Adian's favourite, the captain Barnacles!


Let's explore under the sea!


Happy 6th Birthday, Aidan. 
I hope you have a wonderful birthday party!

Toy Story Buzz & Woody cake

This is my third Toy story theme cake I made and I loooove it!
It's for Jame's third birthday and it is quite meaningful for me to make his cake 
cause I made his 2nd birthday cake last year (Disney car cake!)


I'm so pleased to have an opportunity to share his joyful day once again.
It makes me so happy that I see my clients coming back every year
 for their special occasions.


It's a banana cake with dark chocolate ganache.
Both Buzz and Woody are hand-made sugar figurines.




James turns three!!

Ballerina & Piano Cake


Ballerina & Piano Cake

I love this girly & cute looking Ballerina cake and enjoyed so much making it.
Every time when I bake a cake and decorate one by one, 
I end up falling in love with each cake I made..
People may call it just a cake but for me, it is more than a cake. 
It's someone's special memory in his/her life and a joy to share their unforgettable moment.


After making this cake, I looked at it and imagined that Vivienne would keep a photo of her 12th birthday with her cake made only for her and look back at her memories when she grows up.
It just makes me smile and feel warm..


Happy 12th Birthday, Vivienne.
