Great News!!!

We've had some press features in SCMP, Japanese Newspaper and other Chinese Newspaper.
We are so greatful for all the great news mentioned and we know it is truly not possible with out the support of our fans and loyal customers.

Thank you and hope you enjoy the articles as much as we did:)
Maggie from the Japanese Newpaper interviewed me for this special article.
This article featured our photo cakes, classes, specialty cakes and history of how we started.
If only I payed more attention in Japanese Class in high school I could tell you more.
But I do remember how to say this,
ARIGATO Maggie San! :)

Amy from SCMP wrote a wonderful article about the increasing trend of baking in Hong Kong.
And we were honored to be considered one of the premier baking supplies stores in Hong Kong.
Love the photo taken of one of our students finishing up her final cake.

Our Madame Tussaud's 10th birthday cake was such a hit it was featured in several Chinese newpapers. Sing Pao, WenWei Po, HK Commercial Press.

Last but not least, I never got a chance to share our FABULOUS popcorn cake video.
If you remember a couple of weeks ago I blogged about the cake but I never got a chance to
show you the best part, THE VIDEO!!!
Have a great weekend, Enjoy!:)

Madame Tussaud's 10th Birthday

Its been a very eventful past week. Sorry for my absence, I'm still here just been involved with a lot of exciting things. I couldn't wait to share it with all of you:) We celebrated Madame Tussaud's 10th birthday a week ago. It was HUGE HIT!!! We had such a great time making this one of a kind cake.
The Cake was 4 1/2 foot tall surrounded with 100 star studded cupcakes.
We wanted to design a cake that represented Hong Kong,Hollywood, Movie Stars and Glamour. The first thing that came to my mind was that this cake had to be tall with many different tiers and some tilting and topped with a giant disco ball.
We started off the cake with a giant Hexagon 22"diameter chocolate cake.
Then after we covered all of our cakes with difference colored fondant.
We decorated and stacked them. One of my favourite features of the cake was how the movie reel was doing a balancing act.

Luv our disco ball too!!!!

We added Madame Tussaud's signature logo on the ball.

Here's our bottom tier as we were adding its final touches.

We delivered the cake and layed out all the cupcakes on location. Here is my favourite shot, I finally got a moment to sit back and capture the entire creation. As you can see, our cake was waiting backstage for its grand entrance. The humidity and hot weather made me a bit nervous, but nothing happened. Phew!!!!!

The cake was not made out of wax:)
