Rose Water Cupcakes

I have always wanted to make some fondant roses to decorate my cupcakes.  Therefore today I made a batch of pink roses for some rose water cupcakes.  I covered the cupcakes with poured fondant.  The smooth texture and the roses make these cupcakes looked more like some display ornaments rather than food!

These are the collages of some of the cupcakes I made in the past.  Most are of simple designs, but I had great fun making them cos they are all in different flavours.  

Chocolate Chips Cupcakes

I had some chocolate buttercream in the fridge and therefore decided to make some plain cupcakes with chocolate chips for Julian to bring to his afternoon class.  Decorated with moulded candy and sugar flowers.  I think red goes very well with chocolate, therefore I used the same colour scheme again.

Disney Cars Cupcakes

These were baked specially for my son, Julian, who loves Lightning McQueen so much.  His clothes, shoes, water bottle, even his toys and computer games are all about Lightning McQueen.  In fact, his classmates are all fans of this spunky red sports car.  So I made this batch of cupcakes and brought it to the school and gave them a little surprise!  

Chocolate Cupcakes

An old friend who loves to bake just as much as me came over for a visit this morning, and we made these chocolate cupcakes for our kids.  Chocolate are the children's favourite and true enough the cupcakes were very well received.  My boy ate 3 cupcakes in one afternoon!  And my personal favourites are:

the starfish

the crimson rose

Wedding Cupcakes

Yesterday was my nephew Jonathan's wedding.  I baked some simple cupcakes and decorated them in the Groom and Bride Theme as a small gift for him and his wife, Vivi.  It took me more than 3 hours to bake and decorate the cupcakes but I am very happy with the way they turned out.  I did not design the cupcakes myself, but saw them on pictures once.  However, I made some modification to the tuxedo.  Hope the newly-wed couple enjoy the cupcakes as much as I enjoyed making them.

Today I started this blog

For quite some time, I have been posting photos of my bakings on facebook to share with my friends and family.  It was convenient, quick and really easy.  But one day a friend asked me whether I have a blog.  It set me thinking....maybe I should start one.  I need a formal place to document my baking experience and journey.  Furthermore, a blog is probably a better place to put up photos of my bakings.  I am not much of a writer, so this blog will be mainly about photos. I don't know how far this will go... but this is a beginning, and I hope it will get better with the passing of time.  Well I guess I have to keep baking to keep this blog going.... =)
