Farewell cupcakes

I was deeply touched by the loving kindness shown by my close colleagues.

I couldn't think of a better way to thank them but to personally bake some cupcakes as a parting gift to them.

Baked over 50 odd cupcakes for each of my lovely friend. Actually, I wanted to bake more (as some colleagues requested for 2-4 pieces the last time I baked some for them, but it was already very late and I needed to start on the decoration already.

Extra moist decadent choc cuppacakes in mini and regular sizes..

My labour of love


The flowers...

The swirlies...

The tic tac toes...







The 'drop stars' and hearts...

I was finally done with cupcake decorating and packing them into individual boxes at 3am.

Yups, I cut/made the cupcake holders (+ placed in the box) myself so that my cupcakes don't get smudged during transportation.






A box of 16 mini cupcakes for my colleagues on ground floor (my floor).

Those individually packed ones were for my colleagues from different campuses/floors.






Made this special box for my ex-colleagues in JM. Since I'm leaving Subang area for good, i wanted to say goodbye as well..






My lil msg on the box. :)



Saying goodbye is hard to do...

Post Xmas - Gathering with JM Alumnis

Jo and Stephen are back from Spore and there's no better time than now to catch up.

We've all been meaning to have a gathering for months. And we're glad that we've finally came up with a plan to celebrate the coming of the new year..

We went to Opus for a post Xmas dinner last Sat.

Me and Sim

Double happiness. The 2 pregnant ladies.
Kai is 6 months pregnant, and Sarah is due in 2 weeks. :)

Stephen and Jo

Sim and Belle

Sarah and Simon.

In addition to the gift exchange, I made cuppacakes for everyone.

The spirit of giving...

HO HO HO!!!

Here's wishing everyone a Merry merry Christmas. And as we bid farewell to 2007, a Happy happy new year ahead. :)

I baked some cupcakes on Christmas day.

This time they are for my colleagues as a boxing day pressie. I couldn't give them any earlier as they were mostly on leave pre Christmas.

Baked 2 batches of cupcakes.
1st batch: Blueberry cupcakes.

2nd batch: super moist decadent chocolate cupcakes.

My buttercream icing: pink, lilac, yellow, peach, dew green, apple green.

Unleashing my creativity.. :)

All up I've made about 50 cupcakes.

You know how I always have a concern about transporting my cupcakes right? Well, I've thought of a way to bring them to work. I actually cut some art cards as insertions in the box. Ta dah!

Have a blessed Christmas peeps! Hallelujah!

Even crazier for cupcakes ;)

After my first trial with cupcake decoration 4 days ago, I felt as if I could do much better.

Not easily defeated, I went about buying ingredients for my next cupcake project.

I had no idea that the day would come so soon. Unexpectedly, I was free yesterday noon.
Initially, Shukz, Mich and I had plans to go for our usual lunch at La Bod. This time round, we wanted to go to the one in Pavilion.

Somehow, at the last minute, the bride to be couldn't make it as she got summoned to spend a day with her mum. Possibly to check on her wedding arrangements/preparation.

La di da..I was kinda thrilled to have the whole Sunday noon to myself :)

Question: What sorta cupcake designs do I like? And what sorta designs can I do?

*idea* I love those mini rosettes cupcakes..

To be honest, I had no idea how to pipe mini rosettes. I was only taught how to pipe - stars, wreaths, shells, leaves - during my Xmas cupcake deco class.

So i asked around and was told that I could use a star tip to pipe rosettes.

And it worked! woohoo :)


Pre-project : I practised piping to try if i could pipe rosettes. :)

This time round i bought chocolate flavoured cupcake mix.

i had 4 colours to play with - purple, pink, apple green, yellow.

My very first batch of sweet sweet roses..

The mini cupcakes..

The large cupcakes...

Rose Rose I love you...

I've packed everything in a box and will be bringing to the office to share with my colleagues.

My only concern is that I'll smudge them during transportation. :P
