Barbie Princess and the Popstar Party

My small cakelette aka Hanelle turned three years old. We had a small celebration in a cozy kids playground in Changi City Point Mall. This is her first birthday celebration, we never really had birthday party for her, while her sister had 2 birthday parties before when she was 1 year old and 4 years old.  

I am glad that she finally turned 3 years old. Her terrible two antics drove me crazy sometimes. She is such a demanding toddler. She would ask me to scratch her back at night before sleeping, the scratching can last up to 1 hour and she still did not sleep.  There was a short period when she just refused to wear anything to sleep, so I waited until she slept and put on her pajama. 

Till now she uses my left arm as her pillow, at least 8 hours a day. I hope this stage will be over soon and I can have my left arm back. 

The birthday cake is  a 2 layer cake. The bottom cake is a coffee butter cake with coffee buttercream and salted caramel cream. The top layer cake is chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream. 

                                                 

The cupcake is lychee rose cupcakes with rose buttercream. 

                                  

The macarons are salted caramel and rose macarons.

Manchester United Cupcakes

Yes this is for a Manchester United fan. He is 12 years old today. I know him, or more like know his mother for 7 years , so I have sort of "watched" him grew up. I still remember when her mum told me about his first day in primary 1, now he is primary 6. Time flies really fast.

My big cakelette aka Hebe knew about this cupcake project. She told me yesterday that she wanted to wake up early to help me bake the cupcakes. She woke up at 6 am and I was still too sleepy because I made the fondants deco till 2 am; and told her to sleep again. She was upset :p. She refused to sleep although I patted and patted and patted her until my hands were super tired. At the end she looked for daddy who has woken up, and after a few minutes she slept in his arms.

This soccer theme is very fun. First I have to make the nice bright red color of MU uniform. Once the uniforms are cut, the next challenge would be to write on the uniforms. Initially I put AIG instead of AON, coz I didnt know they have changed their sponsor. Now you know, I am not MU fan, or to be exact, I am not even soccer fan. I cant stand spending 2 hours in front of TV to watch 22 people running after one ball. I would rather utilize the 2 hours for my beauty sleep. 

After I finished writing the AIG for all the uniforms, only three actually,  I proudly presented my creation to hubby. He immediately screamed and said that it is no longer AIG and started lecturing me that he told me before to check what is the uniform. He then showed that it is supposed to be AON. *sigh*. I managed to "erase" the "I" and "G", then replace them with "O" and "N" ^-^ .. not too bad.
This is the result before cleaned up.

                                    

After the uniforms were completed, I continued with the shawl. I like making the end part, the black thing, it reminded me of a mermaid tail. The shawl is quite straight forward to make.
                                       

Making the ball is quite fun too. Although it is not as simple as it looks like. First I tried making the pentagon without template, and it was totally ugly. I gave up, printed mini pentagon template and then cut the shapes on black fondants. The result is pretty cute I think. 

More pics below. I hope the birthday boy likes his cupcakes. The cakes are chocolate genoise sponge cake with Callebaut chocolate ganache filling and topped with either vanilla buttercream (green ones) or chocolate buttercream (red ones). Because of the chocolate, the red color of the buttercream is not as bright as I want them to be.

Macarons marathon

Baking 400+ macarons is a different ball game from baking 40 macarons. Spent 2 days of marathon mixing, piping and baking followed by packing.

Despite the lack of sleep, i feel super happy and satisfied! The adrenaline rush of macarons making marathon is definitely much better compared to meeting project deadline.

I am glad that the bride that ordered the macarons for her wedding favor is happy with the macarons.

Kallen's First Birthday

Kallen was born last year, the year of Dragon. His daddy wanted dragon themed cupcakes to celebrate his first birthday. The cupcakes flavour is salted caramel.

Since Kallen's zodiac is water dragon, this blue dragon is representing Kallen - with a pacifier ^-^. 

The purple dragon is for Kallen's second sister - Nikki. She loves purple. 

Two pink dragons; one for Hebe and one for Nicia since they love pink. I think the dragon eggs are cute, but the kids prefer the dragons.
