Special Day

b4

I love birthdays.

In my household, planning a birthday party  is almost as exciting as the party itself, we all chimed in with theme and ideas. This year, for her 12th birthday, my daughter asked to have a few school friend to celebrate her special day with merienda at her favourite teppanyaki restaurant (Ogetsu Hime in SM Aura, the teppanyaki chef are great entertainer too!) followed by watching movie (Justice League) at Director’s Club. As for her birthday cupcakes she requested vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream, I was only allowed to put a dash of red on it (for good luck!).

Wishes granted.

Little Miss had a blast and so did we, mission accomplished.

Happy Birthday Ariel ❤

Olivia

Such a sweet and caring girl, on her birthday she wished to spent it with the children in the Orphanage (that she visited a few times previously)  with some cupcakes. I told her Mum that I will match her cupcakes order for free, she requested 70 pcs of cupcakes and I made 144 pcs.

Yes, correct … thats 12 dozens of cupcakes! Consists of 4 dozens Vanilla cupcakes, 4 dozens Oreo Cupcakes and 4 dozens Chocolate cupcakes. I spent over 18 hours of baking, decorating and packing them, it was pretty intense!

Received below message the next day:

Esti, your cupcakes are absolutely beautiful. I dropped Olivia, Katie, Emily and the cupcakes off at 10am, they were supposed to leave at 2pm, but they are having such a wonderful time they asked to stay longer. They are only leaving at 5pm now. The kids at SOS Children’s Village were soooo excited to see all the cupcakes, they loved them. I took pizza there for them all at lunchtime, so they have had a lovely party. Thank you so so much for making the cupcakes and for generously donating half. You really are a truly special, thoughtful  lady. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. xx

One happy cupcake lady here, Happy 14th Birthday Olivia ❤

 


 

Red Velvet & Sprinkles

Little Miss is on Summer Break (week 2 and counting), today she wants to decorate the birthday cupcakes I made for Tess. She choose the sprinkles and the Wilton piping tip, I’ve guided her to do a swirl frosting once and she was good to go. Very impressed with her steady hand, way to go Nini!

Happy Birthday Tess xoxo

The Son of Man

Do you remember the movie “The Thomas Crown Affair“? My better half and I watched it numerous time, one of our favourite part of the movie was when Pierce Brosnan dressed up as The Son of Man, the final heist scene was so clever and the soundtrack (Sinnerman) just über cool!

So when Carol asked me to make pull apart cupcakes cake based on Rene Magritte famous painting for her husband birthday celebration I was smiling from ear to ear, its a YES!

Happy Birthday Jon, wishing you many more years to celebrate.

Easter Baking

In between swimming training, rubik cubes playing, art colouring and book reading, Little Miss and I managed to bake some Chocolate Cookies and Banana Bread today. I still remembered vividly all those time Little Miss helped me baking Easter cookies in Jakarta, Bangkok and Shanghai, it was so much fun but lot’s of patience (and cleaning) required. Nowadays I just made the dough and she’ll take over the rest (including cleaning up!), lucky me.  This time around we skipped the royal icing on the cookies (too time consuming) so sprinkled confectioner sugar it is. We had warm cookies before hitting the gym and fresh banana bread for breakfast tomorrow, happy days!
