Hailey's Bee cake

I had a very busy week. I had accepted two orders in a row. First, a Bee theme cake for Hailey's Birthday. It is a two-layer carrot walnut cake and 30 pieces Chocolate cupcakes with Chocolate Butter cream and 20 pieces Vanilla cupcakes with Lemon Vanilla Butter cream. I had made the toppers ahead so it would be easy for me to decorate my cakes. She wants to have the cupcakes decorated with bees and butterflies so I add flowers too. I had so much fun making this cake but I had a few problems too. Few of my butterflies does not survived the drying time while others got broken, my bee's wings got broken too, while some were played by my son. hahahaha Good thing I made an extra batches for my toppers for I want to be ready if times like this happens.

She also asked o have a big honey bee at the top of her cake. I thought it would be nice if I'll just but a honey bee stuffed toy and put it on top but I never found one. I had no choice but to make an edible one! I was still it survived the drying time (it weighed 450 grams) and it still looks good though my son secretly pinched it when I was away!

About my two-layer fondant cake, I decorated it first with grass and flower stems not realizing that I made them too close with each other that turned out to be over decorated in my opinion. But all in all, they all looked good. So, here's the bee cake, it's for you to judge na lang.

My full-proof of baking

I was baking for Heiley's Bee cake when Tita Ine (hubby's aunt) took some photos of me so I decide to post it here and serve as a full-proof that I, myself bake those goods that I sell. hehehe So here's the pictures:

- I had prepared all the ingredients I need for my chocolate cupcakes a day a head. Now the first step is mixing all the dry ingredients and then the wet ingredients. Then, combbine them together. Serious noh? hehehe

Kevin's Christening...

Ma'am Michelle Yap from Marikina City ordered 25 mini fondant cake for his son's christening last February 7 right before my birthday. To tell you honestly, it was my first time to make a mini fondant cake with human figures. I thought it is really impossible for me to do it. Tinitignan ko pa lang, parang ang hirap-hirap na! Yun pa kayang gagawin ko na? But I made it. I started by making the oval shape for the body, then small rope for the legs, and the arms, shaping it nicely to look like the shapes of legs and arms. But still can't make a nice hands..I'll try next time. I was really happy with the outcome though I know it's not really perfect. Well, I think I'm good for the first timer right? Hmm, don't make any violent reaction please, it's my moment! hahaha

Grace's debut..

Here's my latest work, a 7 layers of cupcake with rose buds design. I was kinda disappointed that I didn't had the chance to get more photos coz I was soooo busy that time. It was Grace debut (hubby's cousin) and I was asked to be one of the events usherette and to sing a few songs. So busy that I don't even had lots of pictures of my self, with my own camera. hmp...Well, its okei coz I really can't say NO to this family. They are really special to me and I love them so much. Grace is like a lil' sister to me (I don't have a sister ='( ...)that's why I love her, and I love Ninang Cora as well.

Btw, I also made her souvenirs which is cupcake too. And as I was saying, di ko din napicturan! whew' gggrrr...I have to wait for her photo album pa to see if the photographers took them some photos. Well, thanks to Fosana family for choosing CUPPYCAKES to be part of their special event! till next time Graciana and Ninang.
