Daph & Nick : Sweet '60s Wedding Party

Photos taken by Eng Hong @ www.39eastimages.com

Sel went way back with Daphne, when they attended the same tuition agency in JB in their secondary school days.

We were delighted when Daphne extended an invitation to attend her wedding, as well as provide cakes for the occasion! And boy, a themed-wedding party! Sounds fun! :)

The theme was set to a 1960s theme with a very sweet pastel colour palette. The bride generously allowed us to propose the design and after diving into a very exciting 60s--lots of patterns and colours--we decided to go with Mod circles. See more photos after the break, shared by friends and photographers at the wedding.

Birthday Cupcakes

Running out of ideas what to gift a friend on his/her birthday? Why not send a box of cupcakes? That seems like a good idea to some of our friends. We made their day with some beautiful and yummilicious cupcakes! Check them out in the photos below:

Our colleague's daughter had colourful polka dotted chocolate cuties for her 12th birthday party while Stephanie had hers with her name written on them (it was a surprise delivery!).

Another friend was treated to a dark chocolate cupcakes, our signature now, and vanilla cupcakes with italian meringue buttercream. That buttercream was quite major work but it was soooooo good.

What we made:

• Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, decorated with Dark Chocolate Ganache and colourful Sprinkles
• Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, decorated with Piped Buttercream Lettering 
• Dark Chocolate Cupcakes, decorated with Italian Meringue Buttercream 
• Vanilla Cupcakes, decorated with Italian Meringue Buttercream

Cheery Chocolate Cupcakes

Our colleague wanted to surprise her boyfriend with a birthday party (we'll post pics of the Superman cake at a later date!), and requested us to make some cupcakes for everyone to eat too, using M&Ms too, since they're a favoured snack of his.

We were at the party too, and thought that the chocolate cupcakes turned out pretty well! This recipe is going to be a keeper; it's moist, produces fluffy yet satisfying cupcakes and isn't too sweet. It also has a strong chocolate flavour, probably helped by the higher levels of cocoa powder we used. All in all, it was a happy event - and the birthday boy was pleasantly surprised!

What we made:

• Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
• Decorated with Buttercream and M&Ms

Grace and John's Wedding

Grace and John's wedding was a really memorable event.

It marks our first foray into baking for weddings and our first baking collaboration.

Grace was our ex-colleague and a fellow baker. She wanted to bake her own desserts for her wedding party at the Rider's Cafe but needed some help. So Sel and Wei happily volunteered to take care of the wedding cake and some other cupcakes. What are colleagues for, right? And Sel had to-die-for carrot cake recipe that we can't get enough of, so Grace decided that would be the treat for her important guests at the wedding.


And phew, luckily we were used to working under pressure and tight deadlines (we work in the creative industry!). Creating the cakes from start to finish, to the point of presenting it onto the dessert line was an eye-opening experience for us both. We learnt that while every detail has to be planned, and that things never quite go as planned! But of course, it turned out all well and rustic-ally perfect, amidst the warm and fuzzy country-style interior of the restaurant. See it for yourself in the pictures.

So, that was the story of how we got started. We are proud to say we bake only what we love and bake with love.


What we made:
