By the way...

Forgot these...the host of the earlier 1st birthday party is a doll for remembering 4 other people who's sharing the same birthday as her son. Since they were expected to attend the party, she wanted a cupcake for each of them to share the birthday joy. Isn't she sweet?? I made miniature birthday cakes to top these cupcakes with a tiny candle each.

Ocean 1

This 1st Birthday cake was a joy to design (as was with all the 1st birthdays I've done so far). The one other time I did an under-the-sea theme was for a little girl and that set of cupcakes had a girlier tone to them. So, this time I butched it (doing away bows and lashes ;-))and adopted a dolphin for young Ayden. The 2-tier Lemon Poppyseed Cake finished weighing 2.5kg.

Ozzie the Octopus takes his place on the bottom tier.

Cowie the Crab and Sammie the Seahorse fool around the reefs with two mateys.
The back of the cake's just as busy with starfishes, jellyfishes,

school of fishies and more sea anemones.

Traditional 80th Birthday

Gosh, what a week! I had an order for 400 cupcakes featuring the traditional Chinese symbols of longevity - The "Shou" character and the Longevity Peach. These were for an 80th grand birthday celebration in Kuala Pilah. Note to self: Don't do mass order again.. I was bored out of my skull baking and topping them off (not to mention spending a couple of days cutting 200 of the chinese character and hand-making 200 peaches!). No joke when you're flying solo.
Lesson learnt... MOTH 1 GODDESS 0.

How To Train Your Dragon

Apparently this little laddie loves "How To Train Your Dragon"! Who doesn't? It's such a hilarious yet, heart-warming movie. Because this little man is only turning 1, I didn't really want to re-create the same dragons in the movie. Too dark coloured and very sharp teeth....nah. So I decided to make brightly-coloured baby dragons. I hadn't been able to really laugh the past week and these little fellas made me laugh. I had to give each and every one of them a character of its own and they turned out awfully cute. First, let me introduce....

the Dragon Hunter.

Then, we have a variety of the Chinese dragon,

...the little green baby dragon learning how to fly,

...Dopey,

...forever-tail-hugging Dopey 2,

...the crumpled-horn dragon and

Mr.Identity Crisis.

Oh, I forgot to get a shot of the newly-hatched purple dragon with its pacifier! Never mind that, you can see it in the main photo above. I also had spotted dragon eggs on the rest of the Brownie Cupcakes - filled with assorted chocs. Happy Birthday Samer!

Mini Birthday Treats

Simple butter mini cupcakes topped with buttercream from the kids and grandkids to celebrate the patriach's 64th birthday.

Liverpool

Finally! LIVERPOOL!!! After all the MU cakes I've done, the MOTH and Young Master were pleased to see the other Reds. These Vanilla Butter cupcakes were topped with buttercream 'grass' and all things a KOP will recognise. I especially enjoyed making Luis Suarez sliding on the grass (after scoring, of course!) to mark him signing with Liverpool this year. And of course the Barclay's cup...

No.7 Luis Suarez

Rapunzel

Rapunzel was all I could think of given the very short notice for this 5-year old's birthday today. Her mum was listing Barney, Mickey Mouse & Friends and Tom&Jerry as her favourites and you know me.... *shaking head*. Just enough for 6 mouths, these two skirt-cakes weighed 850gms and is a special diet Chocolate (with whole strawberries) Cake. That meaning : eggless, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free.
