One Sweet Day!

The next day after her school concert we attended the " Advance Cupcake decorating class" held by Deana Cakes. As you all know, I am a fan of her cakes . 2 weeks ago we attended the first cupcakes decorating class. This time we are playing with fondant. Finally I know how to make it :)

Making the fondant from the scratch ( not pre made ,ok?)

Knead knead knead..... and mixing the color.

Yay! one ready to me mould pretty in purple fondant!

Cut and embossed , it is ready to cover one cupcake!

The "pro" tools

Yay! One is done !

The little artist . Getting busy with fondants, colors, designs. She never run of ideas!

Then... came the intruder!!!  Cikgu Deana is so patient to teach Indy. We gave Maya " black" fondant ( as per request) and spatula, so she can get busy too ( and not disturbing) . Maya is having the time of her life, since when playing with play dough can be so yummy too!!!

Funny notes: when we reached home, she still got the fondant in her hand ( mixed of black and yellow and REALLY looks like play dough) , She ate it in front of our maid, and our maid screamed in horror.LOL. Maya with her cool style said : ini boleh makan ,bah! ini bukan mainan , kak! ini gula gula buat kuih!

LMOF!!!

The playful Maya with so serious Indy ( trying to make a "pink turtle")

Cut Cut Cut.... and Sculpt , Sculpt....

And TA DAAAAA our creation :

Indy made most of this , specially the 3D deco. I helped her to mix some colors, and covered the cupcakes.I did some embossing and cutting too  ( Hey!! I also want to learn mah!!! hhahaha)But she had a great fun embossing, cutting, making cars, bottles, mushrooms, turtles, cubes, cutting numbers.

Too bad we must leave about 30 mins early. But we did bring home 2 boxes of cupcakes, learn new skills, and had a fun time! Thanks to Deana who is willing shared and spent her time ( despite of her morning sickness ^_^)

Indy is very happy and told me : She ( Deana) is so nice ya ma? She really sound n look like teacher oh when she teach me ! ( LOL) I am so happy that Aunty Deana wants to teach me.

The cupcakes might last a few hours, or a few days, but the experience and skills and memories will stay for a long time. It is worth it!

Mother's Day Cake

I am sure you all know that Mother's Day is just around the corner , This SUNDAY!
Oh My..... I'm looking forward for the art and craft my kids will make for me :P beside that of course I'd love some CAKES!

I've been a fan of Colus cake for some times now. Or you can visit the blog to see the whole collection too!

I am often disappointed with the quality and taste of those cakes sold in the bakery. They tend to reduce the ingredients and the decoration seems too "general" for me, nothing special. So I m so happy when I know I can order a good quality of cakes with or without the special decoration .

And I know that Coluscakes also will try their best to meet customer's request, like less sugar, or extra chocolate or more marshmallow ( for my dd it is a MUST!)

My recommendation : Carrot cakes with the cheese topping ( my favorite) and Orange cupcake with Chocolate Cream topping ( My dh's favorite).

Oh and if you want to give an impressive gift to some one, sure the mini cupcakes with the cute decor will make your friends or relatives go OOOHHH AAAAAAHH.... Trust me! I'd proof in many times already!
