Happy Rabbit Year

These are the 6 cuppies that I made to celebrate 2011's Chinese New Year. In addition to the figurines, I made a cherry blossom plant, firecrackers and the chinese word "福".

This year is the year of the Rabbits, so I made a cute bunny to welcome the new year. Took me awhile to figure out how to get it right but am satisfied with my little bunny.

Every Chinese New Year, it is imperative to welcome the God of Prosperity to your home. I made a cute version of the God of Prosperity in order for him to stay in my home forever. :D

There is a chinese saying "年年有鱼" so I made a fish. My chinese is bad, I know but my fish is very lively.

Christmas Cuppies

Last Christmas, I decided to put my new found skills of figurine making to test. I made Santa Claus, Rudolph and snowmen as toppings for my cupcakes. Was very happy with how Rudolph turned out but Santa Claus was a bit on the thin side. Well maybe by next Christmas, I would be able to make nicer looking Santa Clauses or maybe even a beautiful Santarina.

Full Moon Cuppies

Had 2 cousins who gave birth recently. One had a boy and the other a girl. My gift to them were a box of 16 cuppies with boy and girl theme each. One of them ordered 50 boxes of individually packed cuppies as thank you gifts for her colleagues. I really had fun doing those miniatures and was soon addicted to all things small.

Birthday Cakes

So far, I've only done 2 birthday cakes. My 1st ever attempt at fondant figurine was for my little nephew's 1st birthday. Yes, you've guess correctly, he's born in the year of the Cow ! Was not really satisfied with the cake covering but have since learned the correct way of covering a cake with fondant.

My 2nd birthday cake was for a very special girl (my god daughter's) 2nd birthday. Her mom requested a doll cake and after much research, I managed to come up with a cake that she liked very much. She has been my greatest supporter since. Thank you very much Yvonne !

Wilton Certified Cake Decorator ;)

Woohoo ! Finally I managed to complete my Wilton Decorating Course 1, 2 and 3. It was fun learning all the techniques of making flowers from scratch and I was very satisfied with my masterpieces.
