A month in cakes

It's been quite busy the past one month - after 25 cake orders and one pop-up sale I think I am ready for a break! And so we are off to a holiday in Croatia/ London (mainly Croatia) to recharge :) And I hope to come home refreshed and full of good ideas for my Christmas menu! Though tiring, I am quite thankful to have been blessed with decently good business and hopefully the orders will keep coming in.

To family and friends who got something from me, thanks for being so nice and supportive. I really appreciate it; and certainly won't be mad if you choose to order cakes from cake shops from time to time :P Guess most of us appreciate some kind of variety/novelty once in a while, but do help me to spread the word!

Here's a few photos of the month past, in cakes (all photos taken with my iPhone) :)


Part of an order of 4 items for 3 birthday boys - raspberry white chocolate muffins and chamomile lavender cupcakes


A cream cheese rosette chocolate cake for E's mum's birthday. Made this more diabetic-friendly with less sugar and special low glycemic index (GI) sugar, since her dad is on a diabetic diet.


Our little pop-up sale at Merely Ice Cream on 21 Sep. The husband was nice and supportive, and helped to co-man the little stall the entire afternoon!


This has to be the cutest cake I made in the past month - a rilakkuma strawberry shortcake for a 1-yr old girl :)


A dark chocolate olive oil cake an ex-colleague bought to thank her son's teacher for PSLE coaching.
