Hullo all! Please bear with me as I try to upload all the pics that I have taken using my trusty iphone. I have been diligently snapping away but uploading the pictures is a chore! =_= So it will seem as if I have disappeared but I am still here actually! hee hee! Till then! ;p
P.S. Does anyone know how to upload the pictures here directly using an iphone?
A photo blog that I have started to share my little adventures in the kitchen! I am still learning so do feel free to drop your comments or feedbacks and I will be glad to cook and bake better as time goes by! ^_^

Tutorial: Fondant Roses
In this entry, I will share on how to mould fondant roses. These roses are edible as fondant is actually malleable icing sugar and is readily available at your local bakeries!=)
Step 1
Roll fondant into balls of equal sizes so that the roses will be more uniform..
Step 2
Take one and flatten it gently with your thumb, making sure that it's a circle and not oval
Step 3
Using a ball tool, flatten it further in circular motion so that fondant will be thinner and resembles that of a petal
Step 4
Fold in one side of the petal gently (DO NOT FLATTEN)
Step 5
Do the same for the other side
Step 6
This is how it should look like from the top and this will form the center of the rose
Step 7
Repeat Steps 1-3 and use the petal to cover the folded part of the rose center
Step 8
Pinch the centre of the petal from (Step 7) gently, to form the pointed part
Step 9
Do the same for the opposite side
Step 10
Continue adding the petals until you have the desired size/shape of the rose that you prefer
Good luck, happy trying and send me pictures of your own creations!! Can't wait!=)
May you get your bed of roses soon!!

Noretta's Wedding Gift Cupcakes
I was excited when Noretta told me the theme for these cuppies! Better still, she left the design to me so I didn't have any restrictions at all..=) She wanted all the cupcakes to have designs that are related to floorball like the goalpost, goalkeeper's suit, the helmet, ...oh well, you get the drift!
The set that I did for the groom's side (for Noretta) was not really well done coz some of the toppers had melted and I had to re-do some of it!!=( I was in such a rush that I managed to snap only 2 pathetic pics as compared to the set that I did for Noretta (for the groom). Although I have been baking for a year plus now, this was still an experience and I must tell myself NEVER to do last minute baking!! =_=

Was kinda happy with how the toppers had turned out but I'm not exactly 100% satisfied 'coz I thought that I could have done much better if I had more time!! =/ I wish I had started earlier...grrrrr...am sooooo angry with myself..=/
