Priscilla's Description:

I absolutely love food and I adore all things beautiful! So what else could possibly surpass gorgeously decorated cakes, cookies, pastries and such? They're beautiful, and even better, they're edible! Therefore, I have decided to teach myself baking and cake decorating and I shall document my attempts on this, my humble blog. Wish me luck!

Pretty Castle

05 May 2012

My daughter Claire was invited to a birthday party. I didn't know what to get the birthday girl, as usual, so I thought I'd make the cute princess castle which was on the invitation card. It was simple and pretty! The cake is a small 6" chocolate cake at the bottom and the top tier is an even ...

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

11 April 2012

So a fellow pharmacist's son was celebrating his very  first birthday and Mummy wanted me to make a cake. Baby Joel (love that name) apparently likes Mickey Mouse, so we decided on a Mickey mouse Clubhouse cake plus cuppies. The top tier of the cake is the ever popular dark chocolate cake with ...

Cheap Cake is not Good Cake?

05 April 2012

I came across this quote:  "Cheap cake is not good cake"  and I couldn't agree more! Why are premium cakes expensive? Well, on top of the many, many, many hours (days usually) which we put into decorating a unique fondant cake, we also use the best possible ingredients. I work in the ...

Alastair & Esther

03 April 2012

So the first cake for 2012 was a wedding cake for Alastair and Esther. It was a two-tiered cake, with extra deep tiers. The cake was a moist red velvet cake with a light cream cheese frosting. The bride had a red rose featured on her dress, according to the groom, so I was replicate that on the ...

Gingerbread house in April!

03 April 2012

Heh. My apologies. It is April, with Easter fast approaching and I am only now writing about the gingerbread house I made December last year! Well, as they say, better late than never eh?  Anyway, this time around, I made the royal icing using meringue powder, and it didn't quite stiffen up ...

Patrick the red dog

03 April 2012

I get Patrick the red dog and Clifford the BIG red dog confused sometimes! Hahaha... what's with red dogs anyway I wonder!! :) Anyway, our close friends were celebrating their son Jaeden's very first birthday, so I was asked to make a Patrick cake. Patrick is pretty simple to make, I must say, ...

Professional photographs

22 March 2012

I just had to post these photos! It's amazing how a professional photographer can make your creations look so good!!! These were taken by Edwin Lay Photography during Jerome and Belle's wedding in my last post. I sure wish I could take photos like these... The quality isn't so great cause I saved ...

Jerome & Belle

17 February 2012

A couple of our good friends tied the knot last December. I had the honour of making their wedding cake as well as preparing a dessert table! This was my first try at a full dessert table and I was mega excited! I love ogling at the dessert tables on My Sweet & Saucy and Amy Atlas' blogs. ...

My Little Pony

09 January 2012

  I have more confidence now to accept orders which seem trickier. So, when a request came in for a 'My Little Pony' cake, I accepted. An upright pony and a free standing rainbow would have been disastrous a year ago, but now it was a possibility!! So my friend wanted a Little Pony cake for ...

60th Birthday

21 December 2011

A friend of mine wanted a cake and cupcakes for her dad's 60th birthday. She wanted a simple cake and cupcakes decorated with all his favourite things. The cake is a coffee cake which I first covered with a dark chocolate ganache. Then I covered it in white fondant and added some gold ribbon round ...
