The 'trio cupcakes'

I baked lotsa cupcakes last weekend and i came up with my newest creation - The trio!
I had lotsa fun baking and decorating them, and i packed them in boxes of 9 (3 of each flavour) for customers. I've got good feedback on them, and i'm happy!

The trio! consist of 3 different kinds of flavours - Cookies & cream, Chocolate & Strawberry, each with a different design. The cookies & cream cupcake contains lotsa oreo cookies crumbs, and the amount of frosting is significantly reduced to suit a greater pool of audience who prefer less creamy cakes. I felt this works better for all! The chocolate cake is soft and i chose a simple design as chocolates are fragant on their own! They don't require fanciful designs to prove themselves :P And of cos, strawberries (my fave!) are perfect for for couples who are in love, with the 2 sweet loving hearts close to each other :)

I'll be coming up with X'mas cupcakes soon, either in boxes of 3 or 4, and also in larger quantities of 2 dozens or more. If you're interested, do drop me an email or sms as I will be consolidating my orders soon! Some enquiries on Christmas cupcakes already came in, and I will be finalizing my designs within these few days. I'm so excited for Christmas, and can't wait to start baking on the cupcakes.. Remember to watch out for them soon :)

Strawberry cupcakes & Green Tea cupcakes

Strawberry cupcakes with strawberry flavored frosting (no artificial colouring/flavoring used)



A customer ordered these from me for her family and friends. I hope they like the cupcakes!
I love baking strawberry cupcakes, because I am a HUGE fan of anything to do with strawberries.. guess I inherited that liking from my daddy hehe.

These strawberry cupcakes are really fragrant and the frosting is light and fluffy, made from my homemadestrawberry puree.

Sophiscated, i hope you enjoyed these cuppies! :)

Chocolate cupcakes

Buttercup is having a chocolate cupcake she baked yesterday for dinner..
and sharing her 'joy' is her colleague Blossom, who's going to eat the other cupcake!

Green tea/Macha cupcakes

Aint they pretty?

They are my beautiful creations right after work.

i love the way the swirls are! They are so pretty!!

Cookies & cream again

It's 10.38pm, and my bf isn't with me. I'm feeling weird, cos he will be by my side everyday during this time. We're known to be the 'superglue' to our families.. and now, while waiting for him, i shall blog about my bakes today!

No prize for guessing what I baked today. haha. (Btw, no one claimed my prize the other time.. so, forget it!)

A colleague cum good fren of mine is having her wedding nx month, and she requested me to bake 100 cupcakes for her to distribute to friends n relatives. This request got me working.. thinking.. and planning. I've got to start preparing my packaging boxes (still searching), decide on my design/deco, recipes and more.

She wants a sample of my cookies and cream (i promoted to her! haha) and so, I've baked a total of 2 dozens to distribute around.. to her, to my sister, and to satisfy my darling's craving for cupcakes hahaha (i'm surprised he never get sick of them!).

I had a great time baking and decorating them!

Peach & oreo cupcakes

Let the pictures do the talking.. :)

Tiramisu & Green tea cupcakes

i'm sooo tired now, but satisfied cos i finally got to bake what I've been thinking of for weeks!

my tiramisu cupcakes..

it contains NO BUTTER NO OIL! how amazing rite? I was impressed by this recipe, but it's alittle too time-consuming and tiring.. i'll probably skip this in the future unless requested. haha. there's coffee taste, and frosted with baileys mascarpone cheese cream! yummy..

and this is my 1st attempt at green tea cupcake with green tea frosting.. pretty, aint they?

and...

pre-celebration for Halloween! hahaha.

i like this green tea cupcakes. the cakes are moist yet firm, and has a tinted taste of green tea.. the frosting is firm, yet not too sweet. just nice for my preference =)

had a few requests for orders.. i'm glad tt ppl like my cuppies! i welcome all queries, do drop me an email! gifts for frens, your love ones, baby's first month, wedding cupcakes, bday cupcakes or anything, just contact buttercup! haha.

Strawberry & Peach cupcakes topped with mascarpone cheese cream

I bought a punnet of blueberries, as well as a box of nectarines (peaches) from NTUC during lunch today. It got me excited for the whole afternoon, hoping that I can knock off on time so that i can rush to bake something out, hopefully for breakfast tml!



Surfed around for recipes, and finally found this that I like! Improvised a little by adding in additional strawberries (my fav! Yummy) to the batter, and all i can say is.. it's so yummy that you wanna eat the batter!


my cupcakes before they are frosted.. see the peaches n strawberries on the top?


cupcake with mascarpone cheese & cream, with an additional oreo cookie! (Slurp~ don't u just want to slurp the frosting down? haha. )





Here comes the chocolate chips..

And a happy family of 3!

I made a total of 15 cupcakes, but before i could get them frosted, 4 were gone.. eaten by my family haha. Daddy says its nice, and soft.

And i couldnt help but keep licking on the frosting, and feeding my boy spoons after spoons. FYI, mascarpone cheese are really ex. $10.80 for a tub of 500ml. Mascarpone cheese are used to make tiramisu cakes (and if u remember my previous post, I promised to make a tiramisu for my bf! But the cheese ended up on my cuppies instead :X ). They are exceptionally fragrant and soft, and taste really light and sweet.

After frosting and all, i'm left with ONLY 8 cupcakes. Half gone within an hr. I intended to keep 4 for myself, and 4 for my bf but who knows.. my evil sister actually gave 4 of my cuppies away to her tuition kid!!! arggggggggh. there goes my breakfast :(

Nvm, i'll make them again.. since there's still peaches and strawberries in the fridge!

vanilla vanilla & more vanilla pls!

as the title suggest, i've been working quite hard to get my fine tuned purrrfect vanilla cupcake.

finally, i found a recipe that i'm really quite pleased with. it yields soft yet moist cakes, and the texture remains even the next day!


and after 2 failed attempts with whipped cream, a tinge of phobia with whipped cream is growing in me.. however, with the help of a podder from LesDames, I managed to apply correct techniques to the cream and making it fluffy, and firm!

here's the pictures..

vanilla cuppie top with whipped cream (btw, this really taste finger licking good!)

Yesterday, i met up with a Uni fren for dinner.. since she came down all the way from Bukit Batok with her bf, just to have dinner with me (*touched* haha...), i decided to bake something for her to try! And here it is.. pretty colourful ar? :P

Vanilla cupcake with whipped cream frosting

Haven been baking for the past few days!

so... here I am! hehe.

so far, i've got a good chocolate cupcake and orange blueberry cupcake recipe.

time to work on my vanilla cuppies! i found that vanilla cuppies tend to be more temperamental, and thus, i shortlisted 2 different recipes and tried them out.

daddy was my first taster, and he likes it! (btw daddy has a sharp tongue).

i topped it with thick whipped cream, and it turned out to be pretty! tee hee.

Chocolate cupcakes again!

A fren of mine ordered a dozen chocolate cupcakes from me.. and i made 2 dozens plus a 9" cake, which I intend to frost it tomorrow to turn it into a chocolate banana cake. hehe.

here's some of the pics of my cuppie cupcakes! :)

i hope you find them lovely! heehee.
