Dark Chocolate Brownies

Dark, dense and delicious...

Teeth sinking into luscious, fudgey chocolately goodness...

Can you tell that we have a slight weakness for brownies? :)

Sel made this latest batch of brownies for her New Year's Eve countdown gathering with her friends; it was a hit, especially since she made it with intensely dark chocolate, tonnes of chocolate chips and a handful of toffee bits. She also topped it with chocolate buttercream - although unfortunately the icing turned out to be a tad too sweet!

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope that you'll have a sweet, wonderful and amazing year ahead!

What we made:

• Dark Chocolate Brownies 
• Decorated with Chocolate Buttercream

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!
