BC Swirls and lines... for short notice orders

Buttercream swirls and lines is definitely my choice for orders for next day or same day pick up..... such as these.
From Cikgu Ros whom I met about 6 months ago at Yna's kindergarten. I guess these little cuppies are for her students and fellow teachers for an undisclosed celebration :)

 Ordered by a cakes & snacks supply kiosk at the shopping complex nearby. They usually placed their order at 10pm the night before, and usually left the design entirely up to me :)

But, there are also some who specifically chose the swirls and lines design even when their orders were placed a few days/weeks in advance :D  Thank you all!

Cakes n Cupcakes for the Girls

This order was from my daughter's friend. My swirl roses have slightly improved, many thanks to KamalinaCakes for sharing her method, use Wilton nozzle 224 and 103

When my friend Ti asked me to bake some fun cupcakes for her friend's 3 year old daughter I immediately chose Fifi and the Flower Tots and Strawberry Shortcake, although they're not that popular in Malaysia because it has not been aired on Astro for quite some time.

Another order from Ti is a tiramisu cake for one of her best friend at school. I think this is probably the 5th tiramisu cake ordered by the teachers at SMKM. Ti and her friends are hardcore fans of the Twilight series, and I think they are definitely anticipating the Twilight Eclipse screening in June, in 3d! The initial plan was to put Edward's pic but received an email just a few moment before I print, to have Kecum's newborn 'prince' and Kecum's other half pic instead.

There are so many variants of Tiramisu out there, this is the recipe I have been using
Cream Cheese                200g (mascarpone preferred, otherwise use Tatura, it's less acidic than Philly)
UHT Whipping Cream    200g
White Couverture Choc   150g
Sponge Cake                   300g, sliced into two
Savoiardi Lady Fingers    enough to cover one layer
Nescafe 3in1                   2packs
Nescafe Regular              1 tsp
Hot water                         1 cup

Beat cream cheese till smooth set aside

Whisk UHT Whipping Cream until about triple the volume (not too stiff) set aside
Melt courverture chocolate using double boil/ bain marie method and add fold into whipping cream.
Take about 3 tablespoon of cream cheese add to white choc/whip cream and fold the mixture into the cream cheese.

Mix the two kinds of nescafe with hot water to dissolve and set aside to cool in a bowl

Put a layer of sponge cake on bottom of removable base cake pan, and spread half of the cream cheese mixture.
Dip the lady fingers half of its side and flip it onto the other side, so that it won't become soggy
.
Arrange the dipped lady fingers on the cream cheese layer

Spread another layer of cream cheese. Place the spongecake piece, or sieve some cocoa powder.
Top the spongecake with whipping cream or choc ganache, voila !

And... for Ti who's recuperating at home after a kidney surgery, I bring her these.... for her kids

Take care Ti! Advise from Ti to everyone, drink more water, eat less meat. Hmm...I still can't hit the 3liter per day target set by my Herbalife consultant

Dora Cupcakes and Princess Cake

Elsie called from Perth to order these for her nieces. Cupcakes with Dora images for Kakak (older sister), and a pink princess cake for Adik (younger sister); both sets with the girls' pics too. I arrived at a spacious apartment with the doors wide open. The wind was blowing softly, smoke and noise from the busy Penang streets just disappear at this top floor of the apartment block.
I was greeted by Elsie's mom, standing beside her was a very sweet little girl which I immediately recognized as adik was also waiting, and... she was wearing a Dora t-shirt! I felt my heart skipped a beat, did I swapped Elsie's instructions? Alhamdulillah... i found out later that i didn't.

Later in the evening Elsie called again just to inform me that the girls and her mom liked the cakes very much. I've also started building Bakeryna pages on Facebook as suggested by Elsie. Thanks so much Elsie!

P/S Adik's pic was superimposed with Snow White's black hair wig, tiara and princess dress

Fun

These are some of the cupcakes and heart mini cakes ordered by Sue's friends at school, personalized to everyone's request. They are .... fun

Heart Cake & Cupcakes

Ordered by Syieda & Eifa for their joint birthday celebration SMT Kulim. A 750g heart shaped cake with matching cupcakes. They didn't tell me their favorite colors, to be safe I made these multi colors blossoms. Thanks girls. I found out later that the girls like orange & pink, I had include both ;)

Cupcakes for Boys & Girls

Eeja has nine kids, and the eldest is only 12 years old. These are for the kids to take home to Terengganu. Ana Muslim & Strawberry Shortcake for the girls and Upin Ipin & action heroes for the boys. The kids were so happy showing off and sharing the cupcakes with their friends :D

Cupcakes For Four Kids

For Four, doesn't that sound like one of the chic SmartCar models.

These 2 sets were ordered by Yatie. One set of chocolate buttercake & chocolate moist cupcakes with her kids names; then I requested for their favorite cartoon characters to add on the cuppies. My promise to Yatie, if the Barbie & Snow White images turned out so hideous I wouldn't put it on cuppies. Another set was vanilla cupcake with fresh strawberry and cream.

When Yna saw the icing pieces made using color flow method, her reaction was "you're funny mommy". I was even more worried when my daughter Suehaila said, "sapa dia nih.....?" (who's that..) referring to those supposed to be Barbie pieces. Well... here are the actual images I was trying to copy, taken from Yna's bag, tumbler and stationery set.

I sent an obligatory sms to Yatie immediately after I delivered the cuppies (she didn't look at the cuppies earlier because the box of strawberry cuppies was on top of it) ; apologizing if Athirah wouldn't recognize her Barbies on the cupcakes. Reply from Yatie "... looks great; they are so happy :) " Thanks Yatie.

Blue, Purple & Pink Cupcakes

Nora ordered this set for her daughter Amalia who likes blue colored buttercream. These are 36pcs smaller size cupcakes baked in size 8 cupcake liners and packed in a 14"x14" box. Thanks Nora, hope Amalia and her bros & sis likes it.

P/S I mispelled Amalia's name initially, was glad I noticed it just minutes before delivery. Here's the pic :P

Pink Theme Cupcakes

Emi is Asyraf's friend who's keeping my sil Kak Yan company while taking care of Asyraf in the hospital, thanks Emi. Her favorite color is pink. This set was requested by Kak Yan to surprise Emi on her birthday and to bring a little cheer to both of them. Most of the cupcakes were given to the nurses.

P/S Asyraf is now in HDW (high dependency ward) His condition suddenly turns worse 2 days ago after his spinal surgery, while trying to get up to sit for the first time after one month since the accident. One of his lungs collapsed, suspected due to blood clot. Looking at him with all the wires and tubes is really heart wrenching. Please help to pray for his recovery....

Strawberry & Chocolate Cupcakes

This order came from Reen, requested strawberry & chocolate cupcakes to celebrate arrival of Ramadhan (and her birthday) with her family in Perlis. Thanks Reen!

These are mostly moist chocolate cupcakes (with a few vanilla cupcakes) topped with a layer of chocolate fudge and/or whipped cream. I hope the cupcakes made it back to Perlis okay, since the strawberry quickly turns soft after I washed them just before placing on the cupcakes.

Read over the internet that fresh strawberry can only last 4 to 5 days after picking. Since these are from Driscoll's USA, I believe 3 days have passed before they hit the local supermarket shelves here. So.... in future I will only confirm fresh strawberry cupcakes order 2 days before delivery, that is if the strawberries are available at the local supermarket ;) The Gunung Jerai (Kedah's highest mountain) strawberry farm project has started to bear some fruits since early this month, hope to see their strawberries here in near future.

Ramadhan Mubarak to everyone.... (Many of my non-Muslim friends also welcomes the month of Ramadhan; to them it's an opportunity to sample various traditional delicacies from the Ramadhan bazaars)

P/S Asyraf has gone through his spinal surgery earlier today; surgery was postponed for 5 days since the ICU ward was fully occupied with H1N1 patients, and..... the surgeon was down with ILI. Thanks to all who have express your sympathy

Cupcakes for Annie

Annie is one of the postgrad students from a group of three who are currently helping me as part of their assignment in Cyber Marketing class. She picked up the cupcakes while on her way to visit her grandpa & aunties. Was glad that she & her aunts liked the cupcakes, even though I didn't follow the design she requested thru an email just a day before. Thanks Annie, for everything.
The extra cuppies were turned into this, our family pic including my helper & Yna's pet goldfishes.

Happy 4th of July Birthdays

For everyone sharing the same birthday as my daughter Yna last Saturday, Happy 4th of July Birthday!

I like how the blue background brighten the baby's picture (it is an image of Disney's princess castle actually, but does not quite visible after printed) . Design of the cake was given by mommy, thanks Farah!

I was so glad that baby Hoven immediately recognized the small Barneys at the bottom when he saw these cuppies, thanks Carmen.


I couldn't refuse this order despite the 1-day notice because Sharina (the b'day guy's sis) was the 1st customer who ordered online about 5 months ago when I started this blog (thanks so much Sharina). Wanted to add more decor but kept thinking how my hubby just loves the choc fudge topping without addtl. decor, hope Shamacho liked it too.... (this young To' Penghulu's hobby is fishing)
This is for Yna's friends at kindy, she kept insisting that she wanted Power Puff Girls Z for the girls. (hmmm... another popular cartoon series which has suddenly 'grown' up recently) I added Disney/Barbie princesses etc. since I don't think her teachers would approve the anime image of Buttercup, Blossoms & Bubbles in their skimpy skirts.

And.... for the boys, Yna said just abc's for them... ha ha ha

For My Nieces & Nephews

My sis and her family now lives in Tawau, Sabah. The kids are beginning to enjoy their life there but still miss a lot of what KL and Peninsular M'sia offers.

Each row of cupcakes is for each one of them, Playstation, LeSport Sac, Hannah Montana, Ben 10 and Upin&Ipin. I can hear their scream of joy over the phone when they received the cupcakes, hand carried by my sis for a duration of 6 hours from Penang to Tawau. The cake is a simple vanilla sponge cake with strawberry filling and choc fudge topping.

Sorry for the blurred pics, was in a hurry to te airport and didn't check the cam settings first.

Happy Birthday Mummy !!!

This was ordered last week, but delivery was only confirmed at noon today (thanks En Kamal). The cake and choc fudge was already made last night; waiting for confirmation that mummy is around today to receive the cake, manalah tau kot terkena monday blues or birthday blues. So, got only 3 hours to decor the cake. Cake was a surprise from daddy and their two boys (in pic) to mummy, vanilla cake with cream and strawberry, choc fudge topping.

Dalam kelam kabut pun ,tried my kerastangan at making the scroll pattern on the side, wahkahkah.... so ugly, I really need to sign up for those expensive cake decor classes; seems like every trainer is charging at least RM180++ fee now.

Edible image applied without choc layer applied on reverse side, thus it really sticks to the topping; sampai berkedut-kedut...

4Xth Birthday

The cuppies were ordered for a birthday surprise. Chocolate cake with whipped chocolate fudge topping. Hope the sunflowers and daisies brought some cheer on a rainy day today.

My First Cakes Order

Received my first order last Sunday from my daughter's friends from another classroom; a heart shape cake to feed 24 for a farewell party. Since I'd like to stick to my 500gm cake weight limit (due to my cake pan un/availability), I added a few cupcakes. Delivered today, hope it'll bring some cheer to the teens. The bare space on the cake is for their message, I left it out from the pics since I couldn't understand some words in the teens vocabulary
