Little Miss Sunshine No.1 Birthday Cake

Hi, I'd like to introduce you to Miss Sunshine. She is adorable, round like a sun, with freckles and smile always, just like Abigail, our client's daughter who turned one not long ago.

I smiled all the way while making Miss Sunshine as it was fun to create this roudish and cheerful figurine. Perhaps I would share with you how I 'gave birth' to her one day, hehe......



This is the invitation card of Abigail's birthday party, cute ya?

3D Longevity Peach Cakes - For Your Beloved Parents


Since we made the first 3D Chinese longevity peach cake or Chinese bun cake, this cake design has become so popular. I would say it's our best seller so far.

I made one recently for a dad's 6oth birthday. His daughter, Cheryl ordered the cake from United States for his dad living in Bukit Tambun, Penang......that's the beauty of internet, it bonds family members around the world.

The dad loves calligraphy and having tea at his vegetable farm. I thought I could incorporate these elements into the main cake design of a 3D longevity peach.

The dad was so delighted receiving such a precious gift from his heartful children and Cheryl's kind words  (email) had made my day:
I really want to thank you for makign such a beautiful cake, especially in such short notice. I know my dad loves it because he announced it on his own facebook page to share with his friends (something he rarely did in the past & he's not a person who celebrates birthday a lot). He's keeping the ink stone & tea set as long as they can last. Thank you again for such lovely cake. When my mum reaches 60 years old (still a few years lahhh), I'll definitely look for you again. :)




Another longevity peach cake for a dad too. Figurine of an old man was handsculpted to represent the dad and 8 pieces of mini peach written with longevity wishes were enclosed.



This longevity peach cake was made for a mom in Penang, her daughter commissioned us the cake all the way from Australia. Instead of human, I made 2 bears to represent the mom and the daughter. A spoonful of love was fed by the daughter, :)


Our most popular design would be the portray of family members besides the birthday dad or mom as above. Each time I make these family themed peach cakes, I feel so touched to see how an old aged parent is treasured and remembered. It reminds me to love my mom and other family members too.

Thank you for reading.

Dora And Boots Birthday Cake


It's my first time making Dora The Explorer and Boots cake. I didn't really watch the show before though my niece is a big fan of Dora. Dora is different from all those princess cartoons, she is adventurous and outgoing. I like her character and the scene in the show is very much like our country, Malaysia outskirt area. Dora looks very Malaysian too, don't you think?

The cake is 6", Dora and Boots are handsculpted with fondant and gumpaste. It was really fun making Boots!

Little Jayden's 1st Birthday Cake


Jayden's mom commissioned us a cake for his son's first birthday. She was so sure that she wanted her baby's figurine to be the cake topper. I told her that I could only try my best to mimic the topper with Jayden's actual look. She agreed and mms his picture to me.

What a cute and healthy baby his son looked in the picture! He looked like a grown up kid in fact. I like his red socks and dress too.



Since Jayden's Chinese horoscope is a rabbit, the mom liked us to do some rabbits to accompany him, so here's the picture of the cake. We were so happy with the result, I'd say Jayden looked 80% alike with the sugar figurine made.
Ok, I have been off to blogging for quite a while. I know I should blog more often. Will try to put up more pictures this week before I engage with more cakes next week. Stay tuned......
