Strawberry hearts cheese cake


As mentioned in my last posting, I have just gotten the recipe for strawberry cheese hearts and was going to attempt it. The first attempt was badly done as the instructions or my understanding of them were not accurate. The layer of jelly sunk straight into the cheese layer and the whole effort was ruined beyond repair.


Upon reviewing the recipe and making some amendments, I managed my first successful creation of strawberry hearts,just in time for the children's birthday. Am now confident enough to attempt this but in nicer shapes like circle or heart shape for my next attempt. I am also contemplating to use this technique on other fruit as well as type of cakes. Might be getting interesting now.

flowers and bugs on rosettes

I bought a really nice cake stand over the weekend and wanted to see how the cupcakes look on it. Whipped up some lavender cupcakes and decorated them with pink rosettes icing and atached royal icing daisy and bugs or mini flowers on them. The results was the above.




Just finished an order for white rosettes cupcakes for a boy's first holy communion. I think it's such a wonderful and meaningful event and am so proud to be part of the celebration.


A chef who is ordering 300 cupcakes has given me some tips to make my chocolate cupcakes more yummy and moist. I want to give Charlene credit now for helping me reach another milestone. Will work extra hard at making her wedding cupcakes more special on her special day in August.
