Doll Sponge Cake


This doll sponge cake has 3 layers of chocolate sponge cake and 3 layers of Vanilla sponge cake, with fresh cream filling. This cake was for a 5 years old girl and celebrated at her kindergarten. As usual her mother informed me the doll skirting already full of fingerprint marks 10 minutes before the cake been cut and served.

Cupcakes for Girl Guide


~All pictures credit to Puan Ungku Mariam, thank you~
A teacher ordered cupcakes for their jumble sale to raise funds. Usually I’ll give a discounted price if for a good cause. I was informed the funds will be used to build their own Girl Guide Building in Selangor. The jumble sale was held on 18 April at Dataran Merdeka, Shah Alam.


The Engagement Cake - Ivory color


This was the first time someone ordered an ivory engagement cake. Mmm…I had to “crack” my head what is the most suitable design. The product as shown, I was really happy the client love it and informed me he had never seen this type of design. Actually, I browsed the internet and find the “Patchwork” technique by Marion Frost. Her technique is very simple yet elegant and time saving.

Brownies - Gift Ideas

Of late I received many orders for “the bite size” brownies. Usually I’ll pack in a small box that contains 21 pieces of brownies at RM10.

Minimum 3 boxes per order

Ice-Cream Cake - The Tragedy


Heartache, heartache, all the time I spent in creating this unique ice-cream cake for someone special, my sister, turned into a squashy, messy thing… look like the “innards” of the brain oozing from the skull!!! .Just one simple problem…miss-communication!!!!.
The story goes …..When I reached the restaurant, I gave the cake box to one of the supervisor to keep the cake in the FREEZER, and I stressed to him that the box contain ice-cream cake. In fact I wrote on the box “ice cream cake”. He just nodded, took the cake box and pass to a waiter.
So after having a one and the half hours of scrumptious buffet dinner we are ready to celebrate, so I went to the supervisor asking for the cake. I saw the waiter went to the chiller where they kept the canned drinks. Oh my god!!! I got a bad felling the cake will crumble with the melted ice cream!!!. And true enough it crumbles beyond repaired. I was so pissed off!!!!. My serotonin level in my brain started to irritate me. I don’t know what I said to the supervisor and the waiter, I said #@%%## …I just remember one sentence I said to him. “Do you know the difference between a FREEZER and CHILLER!!!???.
The supervisor took the cake and put into the freezer.
I just took a deep breath as to control my anger and informed my brother-in-law to call-off the birthday cake. He too looked disappointed.
When the function was over, the supervisor came to me and asks whether we would like to take the cake home. By then my anger already subsided, I refused to take the cake and told him to train the staff properly on the difference between FREEZER, FRIDGE and CHILLER.
Lesson learned: Next time if you give an ice cream cake to a waiter/supervisor to be kept in the FREEZER, follow him to the kitchen personally to ensure they really put in the FREEZER!!!

We strongly recommend having us deliver and set-up your cake. Everything will be taken care of. Delivery fees may be applied.

If you wish to pick-up your wedding cake, we will put in a box (cost may apply) and ensure the box place on a flat surface. Actually speed is not an issue but the sudden brakes and taking corners fast will make the cake topple, especially for tiered cake.

RENTAL ITEMS

MATCHING COLOURS
In order to match specific wedding party colors/theme on the wedding cake, the bride/groom must supply color samples at least 4 weeks prior to the wedding date. If no samples of colors are supplied, the cake colors will be generic, not specific colors.

We will not recommend using fresh flowers on your cake because Malaysia’s fresh flowers have traces of insecticides / pesticides on it. However, fresh flowers can be placed or arranged on the table around the cake.


PRECAUTION FOR OUTDOOR RECEPTION

Malaysian wedding usually held outdoor, it is less ideal for the wedding cake. Please aware of the following items which happened in the past and through our experience.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
These two are arch enemies of wedding cake. Usually we will advice the bride/groom to do buttercream cake if the function is held outdoor. Fondant icing cake will melt in high humidity, especially during the rainy season. If held indoor with an air-condition hall, it’s alright to have fondant icing cake. However, if you insisted on fondant icing cake for outdoor function, we will not be responsible for what "they" will do to your cake.

UNINVITED GUEST, FLIES, BUGS
Don't forget that you are invading their territory, so bugs and creepy crawler are going to lingers checking out your cake.

LOCATION OF THE CAKE TO BE PLACED DURING THE EVENT
The cake must be under a tent or shelter.
Avoid placing the cake at an entry / foyer where guest may bottleneck around it and may bump into it.
Keep it out of the sun. Please plan for the angle of the sun as the day goes on. A solid drape or tent flap should be in place to shade the cake

THE CAKE’S TABLE
The table must be sturdy and level. We reserve the right to refuse the table if it’s on a significant angle. Gravity has a way of winning over the cake.
The table must be on a solid ground. If on a temporary surface, like on a wedding dais / stage, the floor might “flex”.

For outdoor reception, usually the table is place on a grass; make sure the ground is not soft. The weight of the cake or someone leaning the table may cause the legs to sink into the ground.

*This list will be put in a link on the sidebar for future references.

Wedding Cake : Fondant icing


My client ordered this cake for his sister’s wedding in Ipoh .
At first, I was quite reluctant to take his order taking into account he wanted a 2 tier fondant cake and he would personally bring the cake to Ipoh, a 2 hours journey!!!, first thing crosses my mind, my cake will look like “a Collapsed Highland Tower”!!!.
I suggested just single fondant cake, but his insistence makes me give up. I informed him of the consequences of the journey, speed is never the issue, but the sudden brakes and turning corners fast. He assured me he would take the risk.
I make a small 2 tiered cakes, 8 inches and 6 inches diameter cake, height of the cake 8 inches. The bottom tier was butter cake, top tier chocolate cake. I never anticipated the cakes look real cute……. To ensure the top tier would not topple from the bottom tier, I inserted a dowel right through the middle of both cakes.
Packed in a box, ensure less movement in the box; put a few Styrofoams and ready to go. He collected from my premises in the morning and I have to put a few rolls of newspaper at the front seat to level the box, under the box, I put one “anti-slip” rubber matt. Before his departure, again I reminded him the do’s and don’ts during the journey. It started to rain a few minutes after his departure.
Everything goes well in Ipoh , the cake still stands with the test of speed, time and weather, only a few broken pieces of gumpaste flowers.

Munch Size Brownies

My client ordered these brownies with walnuts for her daughter’s engagement that falls on 14 February 2009. The size of these brownies was 1.5 inches with thickness of ½ inch. Each brownie was cling wrapped for easy handling and packing. Each brownies is equivalent to 2 bite size. For more shapes and size, feel free to enquire.

Doll Cake and Basket Weave


The doll and basket weaved cake were for Ms. Diana’s (my neighbor) daughter, Nor. I delivered 2 hours before the event, so that the chocolate cake will be softened by then. It was held at the nursery and most of the invited guest were under 12 years old.
I manage to drop by the nursery and just in time for the celebration. I realized there were new designs on the doll’s skirts, full of small “Finger Prints”.

Salawati and Aliyas's Wedding (Event)



Congratulations Salawati and Aliyas!
Bride of the day, Miss Salawati, ordered 3 tiered cakes from us, and whats make it so special is that all tiers have different flavours.
  • Buttercream icing, with 3 flavors, bottom tier - chocolate, middle tier – coconut and top tier –vanilla. She had chosen ivory color to complement with the theme color, brown.
While setting up the cake, there was a “gamelan” group playing a soothing familiar tune……..I tried to remember it…..searching through my memory bank….that it!!….it was played during my graduation!!!!. Very nostalgic indeed.
The wedding was held at Kompleks Taman Seni Islam Selangor, just beside the Masjid Negeri, Shah Alam. The interior was quite unique; you can go to each floor easily, in a spiral way, very friendly for a “wheel-chaired” bound. In the middle of the building there’s a small garden with a water fountain in the center. I managed to visit a few rooms/galleries, many beautiful “khat” been showcased and some information about the purpose of the building. The concept of the building based on the “bees’ nest” (sarang lebah).



  • Cupcakes were given as favors to guest. 3 flavors, vanilla, chocolate and carrot.


  • Cookies were given to her “under 12” guest. :) So sweet.

Majlis Pernikahan Dr Mayuha and Dr Azman


Congratulations Dr Mayuha and Dr Azman!
  • 3 Tiered Fondant Chocolate Cake
  • Theme of the day : Enchanted Forest : The client showed us a couple of pictures and designs that they have in mind.
  • Overall height : 12 inches tall.
  • Diameter: 14", 10" and 6", height of each layer is 4"
Alhamdulillah the whole event went through smoothly. The whole place was decorated like a forest, with plants, flowers and even hanging apples!

Sahlawati's Wedding



3 Tiered Wedding Cake – Basket Weave
Initially she requested cake with fondant icing but I advice her for butter cream cake because the event was held outdoor (typical Malay kampong with many trees) and probability of raining in December was high. High humidity will make the fondant “sticky” and it doesn’t look good. In fact it was drizzling when I reached her house somewhere in Banting. Weather plays an important role in any event, certain cakes may look nice in pictures but come actual day, it may not look nice especially in our country where humidity is very high. Thus it is vital that this is bought up during discussions.


Token to the Groom’s Family
Sahlawati ordered chocolate cupcakes as a token to the groom’s family for her “nikah” ceremony.

Sahlawati’s Hantaran (Heart shaped)
This hantaran was a gift to the groom during their wedding ceremony at the groom’s house.

Nur Shaliza's Engagement

More Hantaran Ideas!

Hantaran for Emmarelda


This cake was for Emma’s wedding “hantaran” for the groom. The design of the cake was her idea and at first I thought it was a bit “overcrowded”, however she loved it so does her friends who attended the event.
The roses, the white small flowers, the leaves and the butterfly were all hand-made.
This was a 9” cake with 4” height. The cake board was covered with white fondant with “pattern” imprint to make it looks more elegant.
Interested? Call Habsah for more details.
