HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEG's Mummy!

I have a regular customer! Peggen Ewe, all the way from down under - melbourne.... This will be her third order now... and the most special one... for her mummy! She requested for this one to be on the cup-a-cake tree! (only for on-loan tho...)

Peg requested for 24 cup-a-cakes... with 12 as choc banana and the rest up to me... I wanted to keep it as simple and nice as possible... so i topped it with vanilla cream, hearts, fondant flowers and chocolate shavings. All the same so that it will not look too messy. I mixed choc banana with vanilla choc chip that's why you get a choc & a vanilla base.

Peg's message for her mom....

I've known Peg for more than 10 years now and trust me, her mom still looks just the same! After 4 children... she still looks young & hot!

Happy Birthday Aunty!

Hope you had a great time celebrating your day.

Sorry this didn't turn out to be a surprise...

cup-a-cakes 2 cheer one's day

Peggen's asked me to make more cup-a-cakes for her love ones in Penang! This time, it's for a friend whom she wants to cheer... *so thoughtful-eh*

Peg requested for vanilla base with orange topping... So i did vanilla base but added some orange filling inside just to make the cake more orange-y!

Peg also requested for less cream... For the cream, i used this really nice orange paste which makes the cream really tasty! Yumm Yumm... I also left the topping at one level swirl - i call it the flower swirl. After doing the swirls, I decided to leave the decor simple because just the swirls is really nice and elegant already. I added some dagarees to make it more classy.

I really love swirls like this. The cream have to be soft enough to give you such a nice and clear layer. If it's too hard, you will have really rough edges and ugly flower...

all together now...

Mrs Wan, I really hope these cup-a-cakes from Peggen will make your day!

Cup-a-cake for Peggen's God-Ma

An order all the way from Melbourne! Peggen, my god-sis wants to give her god-ma (not related to me tho) cup-a-cakes for her birthday! She wanted vanila base with mango topping.

And her colour choice was pink & yellow! SO.. i decided to tie pink ribbons around each cupcake as I am using yellow & mango paste for the topping..

I added a cube of mango in each of the cup-a-cake just to enhance the mango's flavor..

The finale.... i added chewy mango sweets for the topping instead of fresh mango because I do not want the mango to go black... Added little red hearts to bring out the colour and dagarees for decorating! note: both the hearts & dagarees are edible!

The personalized birthday tag

I remembered my god sis saying that her god-ma loves anything pretty... so i added a pretty little butterfly to her birthday tag!

The back of the tag...

And finally... into the box before delivering it! I havent gotten any feedback yet but I really hope the god-ma will enjoy them! :)
