Vanilla Cupcakes (Decorated - Disney)



Bought some Disney cookie cutters today and tried it out on MMF - i think my first painted Mickey is the best..hahaha..i did Mickey and Minnie first then i got tired of doing the rest and i didn't do it as well as Mickey..lol! And i forgot to paint the flower pot on Minnie's head..LOL! Weather's really hot today and i didn't turn on aircon, so i dust the MMF with lots of icing sugar/cornflour..hahaha..i think can still see flour on the cupcakes..LOL!

And the rest of the decorated cupcakes ......

Chestnut Cream Cake (Decorated)






I made 2 cakes today...yup..and i finished both of them by 4pm today. Cake suppose to be for my daughter to bring to church, but i couldn't decide which one i should make, so in the end i made 2..LOL! This chestnut cake i have made before and i like it a lot. It's sponge cake with chestnut whipped cream layers and frosted with whipped cream. I made the roses with the whipped cream and you can see it is not as smooth as buttercream and has lots of air-pockets. I piped the chocolate into heart shapes and pasted it on the side of the cake.

Sugarflower - Rose II




I have been making these roses for the past 2 days after work. I don't know what i am going to do with these roses, but i just wanted to practice making them. This time round, i use gumpaste which is so much better than what i used before (ie MMF) and the petals don't fall flat like the first time i was doing it. Even though these roses are still not perfect (i love the roses made by cake journal and i am hoping to achieve that someday :) ) , i am quite happy with them this time and i can see some improvements. :)
