Guo Da Li cupcakes

I baked till 4am on Friday.. to work on an order for a customer who is getting married!

Congrats Bernard :)


6 cupcakes to be in a box, and each of them to be linked to the happy occasion theme.

I like the boxes, they are so cute (each with a different sticker) to show that these are wedding cupcakes. They are made up of 3 different flavours, mainly strawberry, cookies & cream and chocolate.

I received an sms from the customer few hrs after the cake delivery.
"Hi Joanne, the cupcakes are soft and nice. Very cute! Everyone loves it. Tks!"

The sms totally made my day, and make my efforts all worth it! heehee.

Anniversary cupcakes

it's a baking weekend.. working on orders from new customers. Mad rush with cupcakes!!! (No shopping this weekend :( )

I baked cupcakes for a customer who wanted to surprise her bf with cupcakes for their anniversary.
So sweet isn't it?

So, i thought, with such a sweet gf, their relationship should be really bright and colourful, so tadaa! Here's my colourful theme with the wordings "Happy Anni, I love you".

I really love these cupcakes, they are so bright and cheerful!
Heehee.

I shall bake them for my bf someday too! :)

Cupcakes orders

Jasmin, thanks for your tag! I'm so happy to see it :) Here are the pictures of the cupcakes I've designed and baked for Jasmin and her friend "Son", and I'm so glad they liked them!



Another customer also ordered from me on the same day, and I wanted to use pink & purple for a very sweet feeling, and also included cupcakes with teddy bears sprinkled with hearts all over. Personally, i think the cupcakes looked very sweet. And I was very happy to receive an sms from her telling me that she and her frens love the cakes, and will be ordering from me again! Heehee. I guess this is part of the customer satisfaction.

Boss' bday

I baked some cupcakes for my boss bday which is today, but too bad, he saw me walking in the office with a big white box before i even have the chance to hide it! haha.. but well, at least he 'acted surprised' to please us! Heehee.



Happy Birthday Vinu :)

Smiley face on our company's notebook (my colleagues were having a meeting while we bang in with the cakes!)

Daddy gotten 2 boxes of durian purees from somewhere ( i duno where!) and I find it such a waste to leave them to rot in the fridge, so i decided to make some durian puffs. It's been a long long time since i made any choux pastry!

The puffs before they are stuffed with durians!

I have more orders this week, somehow i feel imbalanced. I took a long long break from baking, and now i'm back baking frequently again! Hehe.

So, remember to check out buttercupcakeshop for new creations!

Birthday Cupcakes

I had a great time baking and decorating cupcakes today!
A new customer order 2 dozen cupcakes for her fren as birthday cake, and I wanted to use sweet pink theme to decorate them, making them as bright and cheerful as possible.
I added lotsa chocolate sprinkles, and the chocolate and Cookies & Cream cupcakes were so pretty even when they were naked! They were in even domes, and the fragrance was all over the house :)
Bring back all the joy I had when I used to bake so frequently.

My Cookies & Cream cupcakes decorated with "Happy Birthday Angel, We Love U!"
- How sweet of these frens isn't it?



Chocolate cupcakes baked by me.. I simply love the swirls.. I think they looked like those soft-served ice cream from MacDonalds. Haha..

I've been receiving many enquiries on asking if I conduct baking classes. I'm very flattered, but honestly, I don't think I have the capability to conduct any baking classes. I'm actually self-taught, and I obtain my skills via repeated trial and errors, and recipes from online/recipe books. All I can say is, practice makes perfect! :) Other than cupcakes, I don't really bake anything else cos' I practically have zero knowledge on them heehee.

Also, recently my pageviews has gone up by 4 times, and I am really curious to find out more on where my readers actually obtain information on my blog from. Pls do me a favour by leaving a msg in my tag to let me know how you stumbled onto my blog k? Thank you all , and I'll be baking more tomorrow! Stay tuned.

Chinese New Year cupcakes

I know i've not been posting for the longest time.. even my sister is back from her 3 weeks honeymoon, and i still haven start baking since her wedding!
I probably had an overdosage baking for her earlier this month. haha.

my dad is bugging me to on the oven and start baking some CNY goodies like pineapples tarts or kueh bangkit. but i'm really too lazy and tired to do so!

I spent most of my time in front of the computer.. either working, or checking the latest update of the flat selection. Yes, next Wed would be my longgggg waited day to select my flat from HDB, and i've been praying so hard to get an unit my bf and I would like.
But as days passed by, i see the number of units available getting lesser and lesser, my heart sink.. haha. its true lah. the anxiety is killing me yet i cant do anything!

well well, and my selection date is the eve of CNY! if i happened to get a good unit, i'll bake some cupcakes to celebrate!

Oh ya, i've received requests for V day cupcakes.. yes i'll be baking V day cupcakes, and if u're interested, do drop me an email or sms and wordings can be provided per your instructions.

Wedding cupcakes

My sis had her wedding last Saturday. It was a very special day, with lotsa memories and cupcakes! Haha.. i promised to bake her cupcakes are her wedding gift from me, and i spent the whole of friday baking and decorating.. with lotsa sister-ly love from me!

The cupcakes are meant for her church reception, together with her catering.. I was standing beside the cupcakes and pretending to be just another guest, and I overheard conversations from the guest that they liked my cupcakes! :) That totally brighten up my day. Heehee.

The table full of cupcakes.. baked by me!

K&J signifies Kevin & Joyce, together blissfully with love

Double happiness!

The photos are blurred and not well taken becos i took them at the very last minute, and was rushing for time! (schedule was so fully packed for the entire day.. from day ceremony, to church, and to dinner..) The professional photographer had taken some pics, and I shall get them from my sister once she's back from her honeymoon.. Shall update again.

Tata!

Birthday cupcakes

I have an order from a sweet and nice lady for 26 cupcakes for her boyfriend.

She requested for some wordings written on the cakes, and i did it for her!

Wendy, hope you and your bf enjoy the cakes! Do give me feedbacks ya? hehe.

I-heart-chocolate

I was feeling rather creative, and attempted this.. I don't really know what I should call these, but all i know is that they tasted really good..

The top layer is coated with chocolate and hazelnut ganache.. the combination totally taste like nutella! The only difference is that it isn't as thick as nutella, and it is even more fragrant. I added chocolate cream in between the 2 layers of cakes, and the combination is just so good.
My darling ate 6 in a go. Haha.

These are easy to make, and i'll definitely try them again!

Christmas logcake

I attempted to make my first log cake, and it turns out to be very much a success!

My darling made one too for his family, and this is his! Its our both first attempt.. heehee. Baking logcake is fun and we had lotsa fun in the kitchen together!

Wedding cupcakes

My own sister is getting married in 2 weeks time, and I promise to bake her cupcakes, cupcakes and more cupcakes as her wedding gifts!


For her "guo da li", ie. my future bro-in-law coming to my house to ask for hand, she requires cakes to distribute to friends and relatives. So, i came up with 4-in-a-box, with 4 different flavors of cupcakes in a box for each family..

I came up with my never-failed-me-chocolate-cupcakes, my green tea matcha cupcakes, authenic vanilla cupcakes and last but not least, my proud creation, the fragrant banana cupcakes.

I love these banana cupcakes, they are made with ripe bananas and every time when i bake them, my kitchen will be overwhelmed with the fragrance.

From top left to bottom right:

Green tea matcha cupcake with green tea frosting; vanilla cupcake with blueberry topping; chocolate cupcakes with oreo crumbs; and banana cupcake with banana cream frosting

Had an order for Xmas cupcakes from a repeated customer, and made some extra ones for a fren of mine whom I'll be meeting up tomorrow..

Xmas cupcakes

Hi frens! sorry for the lack in updates. I had an overdosage of baking this week due to an order for 120 cupcakes from a customer to be delivered on friday.. i baked and baked after work, all the way till 2am in the morning!


Anyway, i've received enquiries on my Xmas cupcakes, and customers requesting to take a look at the samples. So.. i got the first batch of designs out. More to come.. definitely!


Here's what I have at the moment.. (Stay tuned. More designs coming up, I promise! heehee).

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 :)

Oreo cheesecake

I have a 2kg block of cream cheese sitting in my fridge since.. weeks ago (i cant remember!) but of course, the expiry date is still months later! I have been procastinating my plans for baking a cheesecake.. and finally, i did it!

My first authenic cheesecake.

Wanted to bake a NewYork Cheesecake, but my darling prefers Oreo cheesecake.. so here it is!

My 9" Oreo cheesecake

A thick layer of Oreo crust and oreo cookies hidden among the cheese

I'll be baking more cupcakes tomorrow! Remember to check them out these 2 days :)

Lack of updates..

Hello! I'm still alive and kicking, though currently i'm down with a flu and sorethroat :(

Sad to say, i've been too busy with work that I didnt have time to do my baking. But actually, i did bake a blueberry bday cake for my boy's mum bday, but i was in such a rush that i forgot to take pics.. and last week, a podder bought a dozen of cookies and cream cupcakes from me, and i decorated them with chocolate ganache fresh cream (okie, again.. i was in such a rush that i've got no time to take pics!) and i'm so glad that she likes them :) Apparently the feedback was positive and she's keen on trying other flavors from me too!

This thursday is a public holiday, and I SHALL BAKE MORE CUPCAKES!
Stay tuned heehee.

Strawberry cupcakes & Green Tea cupcakes

Green tea cupcake topped with marzipan flower



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! :)
