Chocolate-Cheese Cake...

Chocolate is my household's weakness, they love it in any form.
Chocolate cakes, pastries, ice-cream, fudge or just a simple chocolate bar.
They can have it any time.
It's not the taste or smell that turns them on, although that may be part of it.
No, it's something else in chocolate that accounts for their addiction.

Something dangerously chemical that works its magic in some primal corner of their brain. Something, well – Chocó latey..!

Made above Chocolate Cheese Cake for our dessert after dinner last night.

Love, love, love...








A lovely Wanie, who is a Dental Surgery student at MASHA College requested me to make cupcakes that summarise interest of her and her boyfriend.... LOVE that is..!




Chocolate cupcakes, topped with ganache, and vanila buttercream


Thanks Wanie for the order.

I hope the 1st anniversary celebration at the Curve, went with a bang..!

Ben 10

Throwing a themed birthday party can be one of the most enjoyable experience you can have as a parent and experience as a child.

My latest birthday cake project (this week) was for my new client's son, Muhammad's 3rd birthday.
He wanted a Ben 10 cake..
I was not sure if I could pull it off exactly, so I promised to do my best and took on the job.


This one was a Chocolate cake, filled with vanilla buttercream topped with Chocolate Ganache, covered with white Fondant Icing, and decorated with BEN 10 Edible Icing Image.

The birthday boy - Muhammad - flanked by his two loving sisters.


Cake is not complete without chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate ganache.

Thanks Aini for the order.

Menagerie of purple & lavender cupcakes for Cik Wanie..


I was asked to bake a batch of colour-theme cupcakes for a very special birthday celebration on Saturday 22 May 2010.
Want to take a crack at guessing the color-theme of these cupcakes? heh...


These cupcakes were specially made for Cik Wanie's birthday celebration where the theme was purple and 1-Malaysia..... and they were delivered to Satay Station.

It seemed fitting to have a menagerie of mini-purple and lavender roses cupcakes arranged in a bouquet to match the party's purple theme... and the rest, as they say, is history.

Here's a few more purple cupcakes I knocked up for Cik Wanie.


One of Wanie's closest friends who was so kind enough to send me photo of her for me to come out with the edible icing image. (I like her dimple.. sweeeeet..!)

I hope these cupcakes will be well received..!

Happy Birthday Wanie...
By the way, Cik Wanie is a wedding planner who owns a very elegant boutique in Alor Star Kedah, check out her website:

Cupcakes made with Love....



Encourage your child to experiment with their own personal touches. Being involved in the preparation of cakes or cupcakes makes them taste even sweeter.
Why not make your child kitchen assistant for the day?

I did.

Give her a pinny and a wooden spoon, and everything your so called "Little Chef" needs to get started..and you'll get the baking done in half the time...!
Hmm well.... Just allow extra for clearing up...

Time to decorate.... It took her a few tries to get the swirl right
Easy does it... slowly...don't squeeze the cupcake too hard or you might damage the cup... Oops ..too late Girl... Ok, lets start again....




Yes.. perfect..!


Place the finishing touches on with sprinkles.....


...more sprinkles....

...ok..ok... just a little bit more sprinkles....


... and miniture fondant teddy bears..


For a child that 'designed' the cupcakes, she will be flavoured with the sweetness of "do-it-yourself" pride...! I know when she wanted to do this, I reminded her that it won't start out with aspirations to the Martha Stewart-like decorating cupcakes 'coz it might be disappointing. Reminded her to be prepared to expect more realistic, charmingly handmade results. And she will be sure to have a lot of fun and confidence with her own creative decorating jobs.



(Mummy.. stay away from these cupcakes... there are for my friends at skul..!)

For a girl who does'nt like to be in the kitchen.....the end-results is .... VIOLA......

aaahhhh... look at that... NOT BAD girl... not bad...
I wish I could have a taste of my daughter's scrumptious looking cupcakes.
My daughter has enjoyed baking & decorating them.
2.0 out of 5 stars cupcake making a mess of fun with my daughter...!

She was so proud when it is done...She called it "Cupcakes made with Love"

Ahem... Again... who are these cupcakes for Girl...???
