Baking hiatus.....

Hi peeps!
I'm currently not baking as I'm in the middle of moving to a new place. Do check back on Facebook as updates will usually be made there. Thanks!

A Short Break

Hi peeps! We are taking a short break for the school holidays. We will have limited access to email, Internet and may not be able to rpely to SMSes. For enquiries, please drop us an email and we will try to reply as soon as possible. Cheers!

Hi everyone,

Just a short note that I have not been able to update my blog as regularly as I would like to. Have been having a lot of issues uploading photos, slow connection problems etc. 

Therefore, please do refer to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/divinebakes for the latest photos. Cheers!

A few days away.......

Please note that I will be "closed" for the next 5 days and I might not be able to answer to emails, SMSes or calls. I do apologise for that.

However, if you are not in a big hurry, I will definitely reply to you when I "re-open" next week. So it will be best to drop me an email instead :) In the meantime, hang in there, cake will come!

Snow White Princess cake

 

A Snow White Princess cake for birthday girl Ashlyn. To cater enough cake for all the children at her school, we decided to have Snow White in a forest scene and hence, there were the two tree stump cakes in the background in case the we ran out of "skirt cake" :p

 

Happy Angry Bird Day!

A small Angry Bird for an Angry Bird fan. Yes, the bird IS the cake :p

Music Lover's 21st Birthday

This 2-tier cake was for a music lover's 21st birthday. She told me her idea of a dream cake with the elements that she wanted on the cake and I'm glad I was able to make her dream cake for her journey into adulthood :)

Cera the Triceratops from The Land Before Time

Birthday girl Sophie loves Cera, the cute triceratops from the movie The Land Before Time. Hence, her doting daddy got me to make her birthday cake in the form of Cera.

Cupcake LOVE

What better way to celebrate an anniversary than with a lovely box of cupcakes :)

Branded!

Who says you can't have all the brands you want? :p

Of Dinos and Kitties...

A friend of mine was celebrating her birthday together with her mum and her nephew. All 3 had birthdays around the same period. So the dinos were for the boy, the flowers for the mum and the cats fro my friend.

T-Rex!

Stegasaurus!

Doraemon! Xiao Ding Dang!

Doraemon Cookies for a friend of mine whose boys are fans of the cartoon. They can even recite the lines from it!

Toy Story Cookie Pops

Toy Story cookie pops to thank the guests.

Scuba Diver cake

Birthday boy Mel love scuba diving, so sis decided to make him a scuba diver cake for his birthday. And to make it more exciting, Mel was "challenged" to outswim the friendly looking shark :)

Angry Birds! Ha Hoo Ha!

Angry Birds! Who isn't crazy about this insanely addictive game? My kids certanly are. So I decided to surprise my younger son with this huge Angry Bird for his 5th birthday in school. Well, the kids were all really excited that Angry Bird came to visit :) Best part was, my son was thrilled and that was good enough for me :)

 

The mini birds and pigs were cross-eyed work! So tiny my fingers looked fat beside them! Especially making those teeny tiny eyes, gosh!

Made Angry Birds cookie pops for the kids to take home.

 

Cars!

An old friend of mine whose son is a huge fan of the cartoon Cars, ordered this cake for his third birthday. Just so happened I was on holiday to Hong Kong Disneyland and picked up these toy Cars for the cake. I was glad they all could fit pretty nicely on it! 

Fly Away with Hello Kitty!

This set of Hello Kitty cupcakes are for birthday girl, Alexis. Mummy was very considerate to make sure the boys at the party had something other than Hello Kitty to choose from. We settled on balloons as they are pretty nuetral and at the same time colourful and pretty :)

A Kiss Goodbye!

L ordered these cookies as good-bye presents for her colleagues. She chose the image of a lip as that had something to do with her name which was really apt! OARsome was a play on the word as the acronym OAR stood for something that everyone had in common...well, can't say too much but it's a nice play on the word :)

 

High heel shoe with shoebox cake

I was told the birthday girl likes shopping, shoes and bags so we decided on a cake that is related to one of those elements. I've done a shoe before, but I really wanted to try doing another one, especially since I was given free reign of the design and I was eager to try out some new techniques :) I love it when I'm trusted to come up with a design for a cake. I am free to excercise my creativity!

  
I loved how the shoe turned out, especially the shimmer effect I applied to the "fabric" of the shoe. And this must be one of my favourite colour combis, pink and dark brown! Pretty!

Nikon Camera Cake

It was my friend's hubby's 30th birthday and he's a big photography buff. So she requested for a cake in the shape of his camera, a Nikon D700.  

  
I decided to complete the whole look by adding in photographs of himself with his family. The camera is all cake. You can even eat the lens!

That's the real Nikon camera in the background :)
