I haven't been testing out new recipes lately due to being busy with some orders I've received from friends and friends of friends for their weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, and the such. It's been a very looooong few weeks, and I've been thinking that it's time to try out some new recipes.What though? It's … Continue reading Ruffles & Roses
I've definitely moved past the pretense of having reasons for baking anything. As you can see from the image above, every day is cake day if we go by the the Mad Hatter's habit of celebrating Unbirthdays. Which I wholly subscribe to.This beetroot chocolate cake was long overdue, however, as Jessica and Angie have been … Continue reading A Very Happy Unbirthday
This was a bit of a long weekend for me, in that I did so much stuff! Before we go on, let me just give you some context: I have the tendency to be a hermit. People don't know this, but I'm actually an introvert; I enjoy spending time with myself, doing things I like … Continue reading Best Chocolate Cake & lots of sugar

Posh is alo most commonly related to Victoria Beckham, one of our favourite Spice Girls (girl powah!). … Continue reading Earl Grey Tea Buttercream
I received an order (from my mother) to bake a cake for 100 people last week, and so I spent all week thinking up ways to make a cake that big... Big rectangular cake? Separate cakes? Cupcakes? And since I definitely did NOT want to go with cupcakes (it's so done, ya know?) I thought... … Continue reading First Stacked Cake
Ever since I saw this cake by Amanda (aka iammommy) last year, I've been obsessed with it. I've dreamt of the colours, the ruffles, the sweetness of it all... I just needed to wait another year for Christmas. Do you have any idea how frustrating that is? Yes, you probably do. The only thing is … Continue reading Christmas Tree Ruffle Cake
I baked this batch of cupcakes at the end of May, it's been that long since I last updated. Mainly due to work, and also some weird personal stuff. Whatever. I made these for a friend's birthday, actually two friends (hehe, I'm sorry, I swear you're both special) who had parties on the same day. … Continue reading Butter Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

After frosting my White Roses cake, I found myself with quite a bit of frosting still left on my hands... and I figured... why the hell not bake cupcakes to just use it up?? It would be like making mini versions of the … Continue reading Cupcake Mania
What do you get when you combine a simple white cake with fluffy lemon buttercream frosting?Cellulite.LOL just kidding (but not really), you get a cake, silly!During the week, I find myself inexorably drawn towards cooking sites and the cooking sections of the bookstores. I now realize that what I've been doing is storing recipes and … Continue reading Weekend in a White Garden
It's my brother's 10th birthday tomorrow, but like I was told recently "You don't need an excuse, Nabs." So I'm going to say this upfront, as much as I love this kid and love spoiling him with sweets, I baked a cake today for my own satisfaction and not really for him. Does that make … Continue reading A post of many firsts
