Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate ganache filling.

Made 40+ cupcakes for a charity bake sale for Ophthalmology Society. The most cupcakes I've ever baked and iced alone. Was a tiring process especially since I wanted to make it more special by filling each cupcake with milk chocolate ganache I made. In the end though, it all paid off (:Workstation. Bowls from L-R: Milk chocolate ganache, yellow icing, pink icing, cut insides of the cupcake (:

Iced cupcakes (:

kaleidoscope of colours.

Since I haven't been feeling that great recently, what with exams stress piling on and other stuffs, decided to take some time off from studying today to bake. Instead of baking the usual stuffs I do, I decided to make rainbow cupcakes. To be honest, I've never made these in my life before, but I see it a lot on tumblr sites and always thought it looked pretty.

So today I felt adventurous and decided to try and make them.
The hardest part of all. Dividing the cake batter into 6 colours and making the right shades of "rainbow" colours. Since I only have 3 food colouring paste (red, blue, yellow) I had to try and mix the colours till I got the one I was satisfied with.

Vanilla Icing. Didn't want to overdo the deco as the cupcake itself is quite bright. It looks like clouds doesnt it? (:

Ahh. Happy Happy colours of the rainbow. I think I'm in love.
I certainly felt better after devouring one cupcake. It was actually really moist and yummy besides being pretty. At least now I feel much happier (: (:

I dare you to be in a bad mood after eating one of these (:

P/S: Is it a coincidence that the pastor in church today spoke about Noah's ark and the covenant between him and God (ie the rainbow)? :D

Genesis 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.

Easter hols, finally!

Got invited to a potluck party and decided to make some cupcakes (again!) but it's so fun trying to find new ways to decorate them each time. So this time I decided to use royal icing with a baby blue food colouring paste to just give it some colour instead of plain white. Stamped stars and drew smiley faces on them (:

If you were wondering what the white spots are, its cornflour, so the icing doesnt stick when i'm kneading it.
Pretty vanilla cupcakes (:
Making the frosting : Cream cheese, Butter, Nutella, more Nutella (: Made the consistency of the frosting much smoother compared to last time. Tweaked the recipe a little bit.
Smooth frosting. Was really yum too!
After filling the cupcakes with dark chocolate, they were ready to be frosted and decorated (my favourite part!)


Added a silver glitter to the stars but can barely see it really.

Boxed and ready to be brought to the party! (:

Hope everyone likes them!! (: Made some extras which are in my fridge now. Snacks for the coming days! (:

P/S: Cupcakes make me very happy! Do they make you happy? (:
