Designer Cupcake Class!

Hi hi everyone:) October is flying by and I can't believe Halloween is right around the corner!

Our deco team has been busy making all kinds of yummy Halloween treats. 

Luv these cookies!

Our We Luv workshops have been so much fun.

We've revamped our Classic Cake Technique Class. I taught the very first class this past weekend. 

The students learned how to bake,prep and fill their tall vanilla cake. 

Look at all these beauties:)

And then we spent the other half of the class learning how to decorate with ombre swirls

Happy Cake Happy Smiles:)

I also taught our ever so popular Designer Cupcake Class with these lovely ladies today:)

Decorating designer cupcakes is not an easy task, see how concentrated they are?
But let me tell you they completed all thier cupcakes with such finesse:) I was so proud of them.
Tah Dah......!

LUV!!!!

Also, for all our video fans out there, I havn't forgotten about you. We have recently updated our youtube channel ,added a few videos and new channel art on it, here's one of them featuring the gorgeous Lalaloopsy Cake (With a hidden surprise in it, remember to watch the whole video!). 

ENJOY!

xoxo Have a Great Weekend:)

Deelite Make Over Complete:)

I can finally say that we are done with our renovations:) Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!
 I'm lovin our new register

 Remember this shot I took standing from the corner inside our old register

 And look at it now:)

 Everything is slowly coming together in our retail store. We've been busy restocking all the shelves. I want to give a shout out to our retail sales team as they have been working hard puting all the stock out. And not just out but looking pretty too:) Look how pretty our new Candy Corner is perfect for Halloween season:) Great job retail team!!!

  

 

I also got a new makeover. Here's my oldie photo back in 2009

LIKEY???

You're probably wondering why I did a makeover picture. Well I thought showing the same photo 2 years in row for Hong Kong International Baking Expo would be a bit boring so I thought why not just do a brand new photo. 

And here is the cake design I will be teaching at HKIBE.

News News and More Deelite News:)!!!

We got so much to share I just can't wait to tell you:)
Its been very very exciting here. Well, there's exciting GOOD and Exciting Bad:( Lets start with the bad. About a 1 week ago our website got Hacked. I never thought in a million years our pinkness would attract such cyber bullies.  So we were down in cyber world for about 1 week which felt like 1 month. Luckily we were still able to do some updates on facebook. I website got fixed on Wed and as  you can see here I was SOOOOOO HAPPY!You have no idea how happy I was when I found out. I was jumping up like a lil kid in a candy store. The entire company was doing the Happy Dance:)

Our new classroom has been AMAZING! We taught our first official Intensive Wilton class this week. The space is so nice,clean and new! Its like riding in a brand new pink car:)
 Here are all the student's cakes all iced and ready to go. Don't you just love our new ovens and our new student cubbies:)
 

 I have more exciting pink news:) We just received our newly designed pink cupcake boxes. Aren't they just so dreamy!!! The boxes also come with a matching pink bag too!
It's back to school and these pink boxes couldn't have come at a better time. We've been sending lots of back to school cupcake treat boxes to some lucky teachers. Nothing like a pretty pink box to surprise your teacher on the first day of school. I wish I had that up my sleeve when I was student.

 More cupcake news!
We've redesigned our We Luv Workshops.
I first launched We Luv cupcake in 2006.  I can't believe this workshop is 7 years old. Though the workshop was already fantastic, it needed a lil face lift:) Trust me, you're going to love this New We Luv Cupcake Workshop. Its even more lovable now.  Its packed full of decorating ideas and techniques.
I'll be teaching the first class.

Our Classic Cake Technique class has been with us since we opened 2004. It is still one our most popular class. We found that people had plenty of recipes but they always had the same problems: baked cake looked like a mountain and not flat and smooth, difficulty releasing their cake from pan, cake is hard and not moist, cake very hard to fill and put icing on. 

So I've revamped it in a big way. In this class you will not only learn how to bake a perfectly textured cake for decorating. You will also learn how to fill, cover and do simple buttercream piping.  It doesn't get any better than that:)
