I have been baking and decocating cupcakes every morning for a famous cafe in Hong Kong since August 2010.  It's name is Holly Brown which is a 2-story cafe located on Stanley Steet in Central.  I am very honored serving this "gossip of the town" cafe where I met a lot of nice people and enjoyed many happy moments with their freshly brewed coffee.  Recently, my cupcakes was shoted at the cafe and appeared on an episode of a TV show, Home Sweet Home, hosted by Mr. Lawrance Cheng.  I am very excited about it!

Spring Wedding

Ahhh, Spring is in the air.  And what better what to start it off with a lovely wedding.  Sally and Tim are good friends of mine, and I enjoyed attending their loverly ceremony at the Island Shangri-la in Hong Kong.

This dessert table is inspired by Amy Atlas -it's our first one, and I couldn't believe how quickly everything disappeared. I had to squeeze my way in just to take these photos.

These little morsels were very tasty. I kept justifying eating them myself by saying "I'm a guest too". Chocolate Cups surround a dark chocolate cake with 3 whipped buttercream flavors: Green Tea, Vanilla Bean and Tart Lemon. These were a pain in the ass to make since I only had ONE chocolate cup mold of 6 cavities (of which I broke one)!

Here's my whipped buttercream tip: Add the flavoring to the buttercream first, while it is still really stiff. Then add whipping cream and whip until you get your desired consistency. To add tartness, add citric acid granules. De-lish!

 

We worked together in conjunction with Graceful Decoration. Hi Ivy :0) It is always a pleasure working with you.

So pretty!

These were done by the hotel, it was massive, but a glorious arrangement.

Enjoy!



Celebrating Christmas

We wish you Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Wedding Season Begins

Yes it is wedding season again, and what better way to start it off than with a tower full of pretty mini cupcakes!  Congratulations to Aster and Wah on their wedding, it was very lovely, funny and touching.

 According to the bride, next to the bride and groom, the cupcakes were the next center of attention for the cameras.  They do look pretty, don't they?  Aster wanted a theme of purple and flowers.  The Cow & Frog topper represents each of them.  Yes, ah Wah is very built and Aster is tiny!

 Pictured are dark chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with a light, lovely cream to top plus various toppings.  It looked so yummy, even we couldn't help tucking into one or two!  We also made sure the bride and groom got a chance to try some - as you MUST make time for cupcakes!

By the start of the dinner, not a single cupcake was left!

Tricks or Treats

We like to come up with something different from time to time.  This is why we love Halloween as it allows us to show our creativity in a variety of fun and exciting ways. 

This year, we spent our whole weekend in the kitchen to complete our Halloween cupcake projects for office meetings and school parties. 

We gather these whimsical ghost so sweetly on top of our devil food cupcakes with creamy white frosting.  They are not scary at all!

In the mood for berries.........

We made this beauty out from our head when we looked into our refrigerator one lazy Sunday.  Crushed Pocky, homemade strawberry jam and buttercream whipped with freeze-dried berries layered with chocolate cupcake slices do taste as good as it looks.  Since we are too lazy but in order to fill up our hungry tummy we decided to make this:

Simple and delcious - What a wonderful lazy Sunday! 

Birthday Cake for a Football Fan

One of the most popular themes in birthday parties is the Soccer (or football) party theme.  It is an all time favorite among boys and arranging a soccer theme party is sure to win you accolades from every football fans.  In particular, this cake was made for a Liverpool Football Club supporter.  The whole cake is edible.  Under the LFC logo, we chose to use red velvet cake base and covered it with red fondant icing.  It is red inside and outsite, we believe this cake is an excellent element in a party to ensure a truly memorable celebration for the Reds!
