cupcakes and cookies for fund raising

So, what have I been up to during Christmas? Christmas outreach and party afterwards? Nope… Crazily spraying white foams aka snow in kl? Not anymore… This time around was just a family gathering and dinner then back to my cupcakes! 50 big fat chewy chocolate cookies and 80 chocolate cupcakes to raise funds for an event which will be held in UKM somewhere in February ^_^ had sleepless nights thinking and preparing the designs and packaging. A big thanks to Yian and Jason for helping out with the boxes, I couldn’t have done it all by myself. Big hugs to you guys!

The fund raising went really well on Christmas day itself in church and we raised much more than we have expected. Thank You, Lord for Your blessings all these while, I’m truly grateful.

I totally forgot about photo taking but thanks to Jen, she managed to capture a few quick shots before the service ended.

the sweet rose

almonds and butterflies

It was another busy yet fun filled day! Hehe… Thanks to Steven Chang, I got an order for a graduation/farewell night event in Casuarina. I was overwhelmed with excitement when he told me yesterday night that there will be like 600 plus people present there. But nono, I wasn’t supposed to bake for all of them, haha, just needed to prepare a small cake.

I must say I’m pretty proud of myself, hehe. I mean it’s nothing extravagant and rather simple actually but I think it’s beautiful Here are some pics.

The creamy cupcakes

The cake!

I almost didn’t make it in time to Casuarina due to my own poor time estimation =(  must be careful next time, hehe. By the way, knew that the recipient’s a teacher named steven but didn’t know it’s THE famous addmaths tuition teacher, steven, hehe. But since a general theme is requested, I came up with these.

Returned home afterwards with a big smile on my face ^_^

Blessed Birthday, Andrew!

I’m really glad you like them ^_^

playing with chocolate ganache

Fresh strawberries + Chocolate that melts in your mouth.

Decided to experiment with the combo and came up with these rather delicious cupcakes, hehe ^_^  but it’s still a little too sweet for my liking, have to cut down on the strawberries and sugar next time, best served chilled. Well, it’s all about experimenting today ;p first with the cupcakes then with the chocolate ganache. This is my first time frosting with chocolate ganache and I really like the outcome. Still need to improve the skill though

Happy Belated Birthday to both Ricky and Kian Aun!! ^_^

*smiles*

simple butterflies

Specially baked for Cheryl. We are ALWAYS here for you. I know you’ll like the pink and white combo

The Chocolate Mud Cupcake
