Happy 1 month old cutie pie Jasmine

We told Mas that we would go and visit her new baby girl, cutie pie Jasmine this Sunday and then Mas told me that she would like to order a cake to celebrate Jasmine turning 1 month old and ... but of course... i said YES... on the condition that it is a gift from Aunty Anor.

But early that Sunday morning Mas asked whether I could bake her 32 cupcakes also for the function.. and so I baked her some... but since it was a last min order and I only had one bar of butter so I only manage to bake 25 pieces and checked with Mas whether the said amount would be enough for her guest and she said ok... alright.. cupcakes - settled.

Here they are peeps:

Since I took the time to bake and deco the cupcakes first, I only decorated the cake after we came back home after visiting Jasmine.

It's been awhile since I last held a new born ...

Anyways this is what I did for Jasmine:



The decoration was meant to match the deco I made earlier for the cupcakes.


Enjoy the pictures peeps!
Happy 1 month old Jasmine.
It was lovely lovely to see you... plus Emir had a fun fun time playing at your home

FULL MOON GIFT

Florence Lau ordered one hundred (100) pieces of MyCupcakes to celebrate her daughter, JAN's FULL MOON celebration and wanted to give them away as gifts to her family and friends.

She also ordered four (4) extra cuppies (ELMO) for her son because she told me that he kept asking for ELMO after seeing my ELMO designs (which later Florence told me that he had one in the car for supper, another one for breakfast and she had to keep the other two for later)

Initially, she e-mailed me me wanting a HELLO KITTY and MINNIE MOUSE edible images but I told her that I won't be able to comply due to the short notice as I need to order from my supplier and that it would take time to reach me.

Finally, she decided to proceed with the order with buttercream frosting and the decorations are to include - to write JAN's name unto MyCupcakes and to follow the designs I did for Niza (the pink baby shower theme) and told me to keep the decorations nice and simple. I basically have an idea of how she would want MyCupcakes for JAN to be.... the deco must be just nice... not too much... but just nice =)

She came all the way to our house from 7th mile.

Apparently she found us from our add at http://www.mudah.my/Home-made-personalised-cupcakes-bake-to-order-3612013.htm

So Erwin and I got to talking about how MyCupcakes' customers (from all walks of lives) are willing to come all the way to our house and putting their faith and trust in MyCupcakes' hands to make the best looking and yummy-licious cupcakes best suited for their function. We're so touched! This makes us even more determined to deliver to the best of our abilities beautiful beautiful cupcakes for you!!

So here they are (in their individual packaging):

JAN, Rainbow, baby onesies, baby pram, baby bottle

Thanks Florence for the order and was nice meeting you!

Enjoy your cupcakes!

Note:
Florence said that her mom thought that MyCupcakes were mail ordered... all the way from Singapore.. we're happy to hear that =) ...

**Oh ya! Small world that we're in the same "professional" line of work =)

Special Requests

My sister's friends (all five of them) ordered thirty (30) pieces of MyCupcakes for their own consumption/for fun after seeing the baby bootie/bikini/I heart you/baby bottle/pacifier/make up kit collection which I did for their friend, Has for her anniversary.

I was so happy with their order (despite the repetition and my sister did repeatedly asked them whether they'd like any other design other than the above... hehehe... but nope, they'd like the same design and am just happy to comply) because I can improve on my fondant decoration.

I had more time to add details to my bikini top/bottom and added a lipstick cover for my make up kit.

I liked the colours I did for my baby pacifier.

I HEART my blue baby bootie!

I reduced the size of my baby bottles and thought they looked nicer.

So here they are:

The ensemble of baby bootie, baby bottle, I HEART YOU, Make up kit, bikini and baby pacifier.

Enjoy the pictures!

MyCupcakes joined Cupcake Decorating Class by irabakery

When I first started MyCupcakes or when the cupcake bug bit me... all of MyCupcakes were lovingly made based on self-taught methods/experiments/reading/research on the net and basically MyCupcakes had NO formal training...

Nonetheless, I have been meaning to join a proper class where I could actually learn how to deco properly/learn the tricks of the trade... and to achieve one of my aims (among others).... which is to learn how to pipe a buttercream ROSE...

I went online in search for a cupcake decorating class here in Kuching and I found irabakery.blogspot.com @ Kak Shanti Farida. She put up pictures of her cupcake classes and I found my friend Marini in one of the pictures. And it turned out... Marini is also Kak Shanti's friend (Gosh Kuching is such a SMALL town where everybody seems to know everybody!)

The class was held last sunday (21.6.2009) from 9am - 1pm at Matang. Further details can be obtained from irabakery.blogspot.com

Actually, (just a quick one) before I tell you more about the class. Prior to this class, on the Thursday of 18.6.2009 I had a meeting at Federal Building Simpang 3 where the meeting was also attended/arranged by En J who represented his company. En J and his colleagues knew of my new endeavour with cupcakes and I was happily telling him that I'd be joining a cupcake class that coming weekend. Guess what?! The first thing he said was "Are you joining Shanti's class?". And one of my friends, Hasmiah also knows this Kak Shanti personally.... Sigh... Kuching IS such a SMALL town... En J didnt tell me exactly how he knew Kak Shanti and that I am to find out myself from Kak Shanti but both he and Hasmiah did tell me to send his regards to Kak Shanti...

Anyhow, there were just three of us. Myself, and I made two new friends, Ida and Kak Aji Jamilah. Ida and I are in the same boat... and Kak Aji Jamilah (whose parents are also involved with baking) who was there to learn how to bake for her grandchildren as she is anticipating birthdays and other such events for her grandchildren... Kak Aji told me that back then there will always be "palak meja cake" for Hari Raya whereby the cake (usually fruit cake) will be beautifully adorned with royal icing (her father used to make this kind of cakes) and will only be eaten (usually) after one week of hari raya atleast... I didn't know that honestly... Well, you learn something new everyday...

"Palak (head of table) meja (table) cake" here is referring to a "Cake as a centre piece ".

Later Kak Lin also joined in the class.. and guess what?! Kak Lin is apparently En J's daughter hahaha and as I said earlier... (Gosh Kuching is such a SMALL town!) and it turned out Kak Shanti is En J's niece.. sigh... I don't mind repeating this... (Gosh Kuching is such a SMALL town!)

I learnt a lot from the class and had a fun time learning. I learnt how to vary the consistency of my buttercream and yeay! Most of all, I am happy to say I can also pipe buttercream roses but I do still need more practise!

My buttercream rose... sigh.... dreamy...

Any how, these are some of the pictures taken of cupcakes which I decorated during the class:

We learned how to pipe basket weave, elmo, shell piping, rose, rosette, leave using buttercream.

The fondant designs were baby pram, baby sleeping underneath blanket and small bird/duck.

Thanks Kak Shanti! Had fun and learnt a lot from you!

Once I have mastered cupcakes ... Insya Allah I will move on to CAKES...

Kelak kamek join kelas kek kitak ok ("would love to join your cake classes in due course") =)

I didnt bring my camera that day, so now have to wait for pictures from Kak Aji Jamilah and Kak Lin and Kak Shanti. Will put up more pictures once I have received the same from them k!

Happy happy joy joy
