Cinnamon on cinnamon

Made a variation of the cinnamon and coffee cupcakes but making a cinnamon glaze instead of the coffee buttercream. I think this is a nice variation, esp for those who love cinnamon. First you get the smell of the cinnamon from the cakes, and then you get to taste its rich taste as you bite into the glaze.

Princess Cake

Kamini wanted to surprise her daughter with this princess cake, as Dhivyah loves all the fairy tale princesses and thinks she is one too ...how sweet.
Made the motifs using the run out method and had the features painted on. (still working on that)

Cinnamon & Coffee Cupcakes

Found this recipe online and decide to try it out. Overall, I loved the smell of the cinammon as the cupcakes baked away. Most of them who ate the cupcakes loved it. Guess it all depends if one likes cinnamon or not.
Instant coffee is added to the butter cream for its flavour.





This was what one of my friends who tried the cupcakes had to say. I quote "I am a fan of both cinnamon and coffee.. I must say the combination is very nice.

When you open the box, the coffee would attack your olfactory like a SWAT team. Once that is over (and it may sound a little masochistic, but coffee can attack me anytime!), the gentle but steady breeze of cinnamon soothes your senses.

Just when you think you've had enough, you bite into the yummilicious concoction, and what your nose experienced before, your tongue experiences. The slight bitterness of the coffee takes the edge out of the normally halucination inducing buttercream (though, many a times, sugar high is not a bad thing :P). Many would hate that coffee aftertaste (and smell) in the mouth. Worry not. Cinnamon is here to the rescue.

After you've done devouring the mini sensory bomb (a.k.a cupcake), you're left with a nice lingering smell of cinnamon and a great sense of satisfaction.

By the way, did I mention that it was yummilicious?" unquote.

Golf Themed Cupcakes

This order was for cupcakes with a golf theme. The orange flavoured cupcakes are also filled with chocolate chips. This is topped with orange flavoured butter cream.
I almost wanted to make some of them green but then felt it would clash with the orange colour. So left them all orange but added the golf motifs randomly on the cupcakes.

As a final touch I then sprinkled some chocolate chips on the top.

Ultraman on a chocolate cake

I was asked to make an ultraman cake and was worried how it would turn out. The last time I tried a character on the cake I did a pattern transfer. Though it did turn out ok, but it takes time.

So this time decided to try doing run outs (or colour flow). It was ok, but still need to work on the consistency of the icing. Also realised that this needs to set well before moving it about. To be on the safer side, should always have a backup in case one breaks.
