Happy Birthday Yasmeen!

Here's our Monster Pack regular cupcakes for Yasmeen's birthday!

Specific request to have 'Friends Forever' and pink background with red decor such as handbags and umbrellas. Thought the color was little overwhelming there so added some white to soften the collection.

Friends Forever...awwww!

The Perfect Cupcake

I came across this on Cupcakes Take The Cake - an article by Brock Hamilton and really loved it....

Attributes of the perfect cupcake

The perfect cupcake…in your mind you visualize it. It is moist, it is straight out of the oven and it fills the air with heavenly scents that one cannot help but submit too. It is your favorite flavor, whether it is a vanilla, white, chocolate, or other tantalizing cake base. It is decorated with your favorite toppings: flavored icing, sprinkles; the works.

It peels easy from the wrapper, but leaves a light lining of cupcake remnants on it to later be licked away. The frosting is generously applied. It covers the entire top of the cupcake a few times over. The frosting is sweet, but light. It is a decoration, but it also adds to the overall quality of the cupcake. It is not hardened or clumpy. It is smooth, sweet and easily licked off or eaten with the cupcake itself. Light sprinkles delicately adorn it as well. Giving it a simply crunchy sweet texture, one that just perfect offsets the smooth, batter of the cake base of the treat.

As you bite into the cupcake it does not crumble, but stay together firmly. It is not as tough as a fudge bar, but not as light as a piece of angel food cake. Its perfected consistency lies somewhere between the two, thick enough so that every bite can be savored meaningfully. Because it is moist each bit melts easily in the mouth and leaves a light stickiness on your fingers. It is rich, but not overpoweringly so. It is best with a tall glass of milk, maybe two, to accentuate the decadence of its flavor.

Girls just wanna have cupcakes!

For a girly get together, Nadiah ordered our regular niner packs. Theme was girly sweet.....and pink is just so apt!

Happy Birthday Sam & Esther!

It was great fun creating these petite cupcakes and mini cake! Tracy ordered a box of petite niners pack and a box of 12 petite cupcakes + 1 mini cake. A little angel was requested to be on the mini cake and we happily did a pudgy little angel sprinkled with fairy dust (this is what we like to call it).

Little Angel sans fairy dust...

Before we add the little sweetheart...

All dolled up...

Close up...

We hope they enjoy it as much as we did making it!

Adios Amigos!

Sweet sweet Andrea ordered these individual cupcakes as a farewell gift to her colleagues at work. She requested for their individual names on each cupcake.

Oh! and the mandarin characters were a challenge indeed, am glad I remembered how to write the characters 'sweet sweet' !!!

Happy Birthday Mari & Sammie!

We hope its Mari & Sammie's birthday alright....since Shup said that we had to make both their cupcakes different. The color theme was to be pink & yellow. Shups also ordered 2 individual cupcakes with the words 'Happy B'day'.
