A Triple Celebration

For a last-minute double-birthday celebration over the Chinese New Year festival,Wei whipped up a classic chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache glaze. Thank goodness, the ingredients for chocolate cake are almost a staple in the pantry. But due to the lack of time, the usual decoration was lacking. 

Not to worry, her resourceful friends grabbed a bunch of crunchy cashew nuts, a Chinese new year goodie, and started to lay them around the cake. Creative eh?! Tasted good too! The savoury nuts added a crunch and enhanced the taste of the chocolate with a bit of saltiness. 

Sounds like we found a new cake flavour! :)

What we made:

• Chocolate whole cake
• Decorated with crunchy cashew nuts and frosted with dark chocolate ganache

Daph & Nick : Sweet '60s Wedding Party

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:
