Air plane cake

 My nephew turned 1 year-old and I made him this cute air plane cake. I found similar designs like mine and It looked very popular and so adorable & perfect for Myles' birthday. Besides, you can not go wrong with sky blue & red colours together. I love love love the colour combination..anything could be forgiven even if you make a little mistake;) 

 It's a 6-inch chocolate cake filled with citrus lemon butter cream. I extended the height of the cake a little bit more (added another layer of the cake) than usual.

 I also made red velvet cupcakes for Myles. I love preparing cupcakes for any kind of dessert tables because my guests can take it home with them.
 I was so glad that everybody loved the cake and cupcakes and by the time the party was over, they were gone!
 People sometimes asked me, " How can I cut the cake? It's too cute to cut it!"
but trust me, it's even better after you cut it..

Happy 1st birthday, Myles;)

Farm Animal Cake

 I was so excited to make this farm animal themed cake for Frederick's 1st birthday. It's always fun to try new theme like this farm animal cake especially when I have freedom to design it.

 It's 9 inch dairy & soy free chocolate cake filled with vanilla dairy soy free cream. I made all sugar figurines (a little pony, duck, sheep, chicken and baby boy etc.) by hand.

 I feel so blessed that I could create Frederick's 1st birthday cake which would stay with him forever in his photo album. 

 My daughter sometimes talks about her past birthdays by reminding cakes she had.

"I had Dora cake for my 4th birthday. Can I have Elsa cake next year,please? PLEASE?!"

 One of my favourite things to do (since my beautiful daughter was born) is to scrapbook all of my kid's photos. I just don't want to miss this cute little face every day and she eventually will grow bigger and bigger...

  I've been making her photo album(I guess it's a life project!) and make sure I have her birthday pictures with special cakes I made for her so she doesn't miss anything even though her memories might fade away over times as she grows up. 

  That's why I loooove what I do.. My cakes can be a part of someone's precious memories.

Happy 1st birthday, Frederick..

Lena's 1st Birthday Cake

Pink theme Baby girl's 1st birthday cake

with the hand made figurine in Korean traditional costume, Han-Bok(한복)

The design of the whole figurines is inspired by Lena wearing her Han-Bok.

I painted the patterns of her dress by hands and brushed pearl lust on her pink vest.

It was my first figurine in Han-Bok so I was quite excited working on it.

I've seen many baby figurines in Korean traditional costume and

was looking forward to making one someday..

I'm glad that I had a chance to create the figurine for Lena 

and hoping she could keep it to remember her very first birthday.

Happy 1st Birthday,Lena. 

Pororo Cake & Cupcakes

Pororo Cake for Nicholas's First Birthday

Red velvet cupcakes & marble cake

I finally had a chance to make the Pororo cake! 

I've been waiting for this moment since my daughter started liking Pororo.

Pororo is such a lovely character which is my daughter's favourite.

She is into Pororo & Dora so she's been so excited 

while I was working on Pororo cake & cupcakes.

I felt sorry for her because she couldn't get to touch or taste the cake..

She was  a few step away from it 

and kept saying "Mum, Pororo..Pororo.. Balloons!"

I hope Nicholas enjoys the Pororo figurine:D

The weather has been so bad lately. too much rain & dark clouds..

I miss a bright sunny day!!  Besides, Nicholas's birthday party is tomorrow

so hopefully the weather picks up for his special day!

Happy First Birthday, Nicholas!!

Two Tiered Hoot themed Cake (Giggle and Hoot)

Lovely Hoot Cake

I made this cakes a few months ago for William's very 1st birthday.

I was so thankful for William's parents who came after such a long driving.

I'm so glad that Summer has passed. 

Hot weather & extreme heat have been a big trouble for working on fondant & ganache. 

I think lots of cake decorators would agree on it:D

My daughter has been obsessed with Dora, Peppa Pig and Hoot..etc

She LOVES cute TV characters so it makes me so nervous
 when I start making sugar figurines.

She knows she would get in troubles if she touches mommy's fondant so she just walks around my bench and check every move I make while I'm working on figurines.

It is quite funny to see my daughter being very careful about mommy's thing and staring at it a few steps away from my work bench.. I can see that she wants it so bad..lol 

(By the way, she is turning three this June.. She will love the Dora cake for her birthday..I've never had a chance to make her favourite TV character cake so this year,
 I decided to make the Dora cake. I can't wait!!)

Seeing my child being happy and smiling is the best feeling I've never experienced before.
I think all parents in the world feel the same..
That's why I'm so grateful to be a part of memorable moments of many parents
and their children by creating a special cake for only one person:D

Happy 1st Birthday, William.xx

[Tutorial] Fondant Baby Booties

Yellow 'LOVE' Baby Booties by Mycupkates

I printed many templates for baby shoes and haven't really tried yet..

There are lots of resources on the internet when you search 'fondant baby booties' 

My laziness have stopped me cutting all the templates 

and actually making cute baby shoes..

What a shame.. 

However, I finally put my effort into making one of the shoes templates and 

would love to share with you.

First of all, the title of the post is 'Fondant baby booties' 

but I used gum pastes(flower pastes) because It holds up the shape easily and dries fast.

The original template(below) is from cakecentral.com and 

special thanks to grannys3angels 

who offered one of the most popular baby shoes templates people have been using.

 

 If you like the cute bunny(above), check my little bunny tutorial here.

Thanks for visiting MyCupKates :)
