Charm Stable Horse Cake!

If you were never a horse fan before, you will be today:)
We made a fun and deelish charm stable horse cake for 2 special birthday girls.
The cake flavor was choco luvin: Choco cake filled with fresh bananas and cream.

We bedazzled the roof top of the stable with multi-colored flower power tiles made from our marshmellow fondant.

You may not have noticed earlier, don't you just luv how all of our charm city horses have different hair styles:)

Best of all, this cake was for 2 birthday girls.

Annnnnnnnnd we got a super SAWEEEET surprise email from their mother today.
"Please send my huge thank you for those making the beautiful stable cake for my girl last Friday. Both adults and kids loved the cake very much and enjoy eating it.

Thanks,

Stephanie"

Elmo Mania Cakes and Cupcakes!

We can never have enough Elmo here in Deelite. What is it about Elmo that attracts both adults and kids alike. I have no idea, but we luv doing all types of Elmo themed cakes.
Here is a cupcake cake we arranged into Elmo shape. We put together 16pcs of 1/2 choc and vanilla cupcakes and piped on his signature features.

Luving the signature Elmo fur:) check out the cupcakes!

The 2nd birthday cake is simply adorable.

Bedazzle it with some Elmo-Mania cupcakes and Seriously..... drop your jaw craziness cute!

There's more of Elmo to show.
Here is an Elmo I hand sculpted to go on top of a cake.
BANANAZ!!!! I know.

The cake is cute as is with just Elmo sitting on top.
BUT,with a lil more bedazzle.....

Its Elmo-rific!!!! wait just a bit more bedazzle...

Nothing like some cute Jr. Rainbow Bright cupcakes to complete the look.

Can we say LUV!

Beelicious Cake Makeover!

Here's a blast from the past. Some of you may remember our Beelicious Pooh Cake.
Our Beelicious pooh has been with us from way back early deelite days. I'm sure you can already tell by photo quality how old this cake design is.
Since then, we've upgraded our camera twice:)
Our Beelicious Pooh is now a classic deelite and still remains one of our most popular cake designs.
Many times we take our existing cake designs from our catalogue and personalize it with a change of color and design to match the theme of the party. Then you get the best of both worlds; you get the cake design you like and its your one of a kind cake:)
This Beelicious pooh had a lil bit of a sunflower make over.

After setting up our 3d pooh,
I made sun flowers out of Fondant. Daisies are really easy. All you gotta do is roll and cut them out with the Wilton Daisy Cutters. It comes in 3 sizes.

Then I piped out the sunflower details.

Aren't they so adorable. The bees are definitely buzzing about them!

Almost done, giving our new Sunlicious Pooh some finishing touches

Tah Dah..... wait not done yet....

Lil honey bee on the jar and some grass.

Muuuuuuuuuch better.
TAH DAH...........!

Makeovers are so much fun!

Animal Print cakes and More!

We got a cake request this past weekend to do a log cake with the lumber jack saw cutting through it. I was very tickled by the request, and wanted to know what this cake was all about. Well,,,,did you know that in German tradition for weddings, the couple saws through a huge Log. Don't believe me, look at this photo. I googled it and sure enough, I "saw" some great photos of couples joyfully sawing their way through a log. Here is one of my fave photos.
The bride has some impressive biceps:)

Anyways, back to cakes. We did a cake version for this German tradition.

Here's a close up of the saw. The cake was a moist chocolate cake filled with fresh cream. If by chance you are more keen on eating the saw, you can do that too as the entire thing is edible.

We also did a shoe themed photo cake for a 40th birthday girl. I hand sculpted this shoe then Fabbed it out with leopard print and gold studs as animal prints are a must have of the season.

I couldn't stop with the leopard print with just the shoe. So I made cheetah print ribbon and bow to match. Can we say Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8!

And for a 12th birthday, we made a zebra printed heart shaped birthday cake for Rhona.

See I told you animal prints are a must have of the season.

And last but certainly not least, here is an orchid/violet color themed cupcake tower we made for a special wedding occasion.

Happy Monday!

Action Packed with Cakes Cupcakes and More!

Its been an action packed birthday week.
It feels good being 5 years YOUNG:)
I think these cupcakes say it best....Birthdays are just so much FUN!!!!

Here is one of my favourite cakes I love to decorate.
I LUV decorating simple cakes with buttercream flowers.
Its like painting, but better cuz the paint is edible.
This shot of me is hilarious, can we say buttercream smile:)

Nothing like a splash of leaves to give the cake the Umph factor.

Tah Dah...... Its not OUTRAGEOUSLY unusual, nor has it never been done before,
BUUUUUUT doesn't it just make you smile:)

More Saaaaweeeet goodies to share. i know I"m on a roll today.
Can't you tell I"m one excited birthday girl.
I realized I never shared about our FABULOUS cake fillings and flavors.
Here is some Lemon Curd I made for our Lemon Kiss cake.

At this point, its almost ready. Just a bit more.With lemon curd, you can never rush it. You stir and stir and stir and most importantly keep a steady heat NEVER BOIL and then suddenly.....

Voila, it is thickened to perfection!

And then of course just to make sure it was perfect, I made myself a lil snack:)
My personalize lil lemon kiss cake. Yummy!

And From Lemon Kisses to Princess and Tranformers.
What ties them all together is sugar luv, fabulous celebrations and so many deeeeelitful memories!!!

Happy Monday with Candy, Cupcakes and phones

We had a very productive day today. Our day started off with some visitors from the phone company. We are upgrading our phone lines. I know what you all are thinking, FINALLY!!! I feel the same too. Its been a long process to get it done. Very soon, we'll have more available lines for you to call. You will still be calling the same number 3167-7022 just less busy signals:) YIPPEEEEE!!!!! as it will be passed onto other open lines.
The extra phone lines will be up and running sometime mid-day tomorrow so hopefully without glitches it will be a smooth switch over to more advanced technology:). you're probably thinking, HELLO, this is not advanced technology.
But for us its a step into a new level of telephone technology:)
We've been using our one line for the past 5 years and we thought it was due time that we join the rest of the world in using hunting phone line.
Thank you all for being patient with us.
Just in case our line some how gets disconnected during line fix you may email us or
fax us 3167-7021.
Fingers crossed, you won't have to do that.

After our adventure with our phone guys,
I made our new Halloween cupcake designs. They are FAB and I can't wait to show you. I'll show them off soon. Before I do that, I wanted to show you some photos from our second session of our We Luv Candy Workshop. We all had a blast.

Here are some of their candy creations up close on cupcakes. Aren't the colors just gorgeous!

And as promised, here are our Mid-Autumn Festival Cupcakes.

I told ya they are so cute together:)

Mid-Autumn News!

Its been one fun and exciting weekend. Before I show y'all our weekend goodies I so NEEEEEEEEEEEED to show you one of our mid-autumn festival cupcake designs. Its been on my mind to blog about this since early last week. But I got a lil too excited about our candy class and also our Choco-Rocks cupcakes so these poor ADORABLE cupcakes were pushed aside:( sorry guys. Here goes...TAH DAH!

We sculpted lil lanterns and bedazzled our yum yum cupcakes
LUV!!!!

Everytime when Mid-Autumn festival comes around, I always think of all the beautiful laterns displayed on the streets.

You're probably surprised why I didin't make a pink one. Actually, I did. It was one of my firsts ones I made. But my BIGGEST pet peeve happened. My camera ran outta bats. GASP! I know, can we say lame.
I was totally in my photo taking moment and was just about to line up all my colored laterns when I pressed the button of my camera and I got totally denied by my Canon:( I"m not blaming my Canon as she has been such a faithful buddy. I just haven't been taking care of it as well as I should.
I tell you, our lantern cupcakes absolutely GORGEOUS when they are all lined up.
I also made another design. I guess y'all have something to look forward to on Monday.
I'll post them all up on Monday.
Another thing to look forward to is our Grand 5th Birthday week. Its this coming week. We are selling our Everyday Cupcake flavors at standard prices!!!!
If you're not that excited about it, let me write it to you in print.
This means all of of our specialty flavor cupcakes
Mint Baby, Choco-Fluff, Lemonlicious, Choco-Rocks, Juicy Raspberry, Carrot Deelite,
Black & White are only $16 each or $180 a dozen from this coming Monday 21st -Friday 25th.

Can I hear a HEY- HO- HEY --HO,.... thats rights put your hands up in the air......ok I"ll stop there. You feeling my excitment now:)

Lastly, I wanted to mention that last week there was an article in SCMP in regards to our building being torn down for refurbishment. This is not happening immediately, so not to worry we're still open. We haven't moved anywhere and we won't suddenly disappear.
I want to thank you all for your calls and asking us if we are still open and if we are moving soon etc..... As of now, we are not moving. And when we do, believe me we are gonna mention it to you way in advance. And blog all about it as it will be a very exciting season for us:)
Have a wonderful weekend!
