i wanted to decorate some cupcakes quickly the other day. and using very minimal coloured fondants seem to make more sense. so some smiley faces cupcakes seem easy enough to execute quickly.

car on the cake
i know it's been a while since my last post but i made it a point to bake and decorate a cake for my husband's birthday a few weeks ago.
as always i had heaps of fun. that cake topper was not as easy to model as i thought it was. it's supposed to be a mazda mx5 that my husband drive but i don't think it looks like that at all.
anyway, happy baking!

first love...
this blog has nothing to do with first love whatsoever! it's just that i'm still feeling a bit smitten from watching a show about the world's greatest first love. there was just so much falling sakura blossoms on every romantic scenes!
the sakura blossoms reminded me that i've always wanted a decorated cake with sakura tree design. so i attempted to decorate my first ever cake!
so my first blog for this new year is about my first decorated cake!
the colour scheme is inspired by one of my favourite things of 2011:
as for the cake, i've made a vanilla victoria sponge with raspberry and vanilla butter cream filling
i wrote a separate blog for making the sakura blossoms here.
it was my first time decorating a big cake so i took the time to sketch my design:
it was a lot of fun!
spring countdown...
i am looking forward to dig my hands again in my little vegetable patch & definitely grow more sunflowers!
oreos
twist lick dunk and make cupcakes:
i don't really want to blow my own trumpet but these cupcakes are so yummy, they get me thinking about some things that i am missing out on like participate in an organized crime and not get caught... yeah right!
quickie cupcakes
i don't have a lot of free times these days but i won't let that stop me from baking & decorating cupcakes. these cupcakes here were really quick to make & decorate:
which one is your favourite?
 |
| roll the fondant, texture it using small cookie cutters & cut a disc to fit the cupcake |
 |
| mark the lines with ruler then add silver cachous on the overlapping lines |
 |
| cut mini flowers with flower ejector, add the flower centres & roll thin sausage to make the vines |
 | |
| hand mold the hearts to make the petals & texture the round centre with a mesh/strainer |
which one is your favourite?
flirting cupcakes
my flirting cupcakes design is a continuation of my food doodling adventure from my previous post, like to doodle? .
my inspiration for this design came from Paris Cutler's Flying Hearts design from her book, Planet Cake Cupcakes.
the design itself is really straightforward: a disc of black fondant for the base which i textured with hearts (i hope the photo is close enough for you to see it) and red fondant for the face. i left the hearts to set overnight so i'll have a hard surface to draw the face. i wanted to use a bright coloured foodoodler
but i think black is more effective.
it was fun!

like to doodle?
i am a serial doodler and it's the thing that got me through all the lectures back in college. i stumble upon these awesome food safe markers, foodoodler when i was doing one of my usual online window shopping :D
i found mine here http://www.cakestuff.co.nz and i'm sure you can buy it at your local cake decorating supplier shop.
after i got mine, i've doodled on some of my cookies:
i've covered my cookies with white fondant and leave it to set overnight so i'll have a hard surface to doodle on. it was a lot of fun!

my personal favourite would be thinking of ewe. which one's your favourite?
