What's a few cupcakes between friends...

I made these for a friend's birthday. She's been feeling down recently and thought these might help cheer her up.. Nope, there were no tears of happiness or fierce hugging for making these cupcakes for her, but the simple thank you and smile on her face is reward enough to tell me I've achieved what I set out to achieve..

Wedding bells

I've always loved orders for church weddings. Though these big orders really tire me out, the end result after setting up the cupcakes in their place gives me such a sense of achievement...

For a passing out parade

I don't know about your country, but the men in Singapore all go through National Service, the rite to maturity. Some love their 2 years to bits, braving all sorts of weather (not to mention the killer mosquitoes) in the wilderness. Others just can't wait to get out of eating combat rations!

Ordered by a girlfriend for her boy's Passing Out Parade...

Happy Birthday to LALA!!

For a colleague's hatch day!

Bah bah black sheep have you any wool?

Essentially, these are indeed black sheeps as they are chocolatey chocolate in flavour! They are, however, definitely not wolves in sheep's clothing. *giggles*

These were ordered for a colleague's farewell.

Some people are just so nice...

These photos were taken by a mummy who ordered cupcakes for her daughter's birthday. She emailed me weeks ago to thank me for the cupcakes and when I told her I forgot to take pics of them, she sent them to me!

Some people are just so nice, while others, can be quite outrageous to deal with...

Super late post

This post is 2 months late! These super big cupcakes were for my friend's baby's 1st month celebration. They were given out to guests who came for the party. Baby K is already 3 months old! Gosh..you know what they say about time flies and people ageing...

First impressions and hard work

Have you ever had first impressions of someone just from the few encounters you've had with them?

These mini-me's were ordered by the bride for her wedding at The Legends @ Fort Canning. When I saw her enquiry and subsequently conversed with her through email, a first impression of her was formed, even before meeting her. She came across as such a sweet lady, always thanking me for giving her ideas.. you see, we wanted to pack each cupcake in boxes for her guests as wedding favours, but no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't find the boxes..

410 chocolatey chocolate mini-me's waiting to be packed

But alas! Our efforts paid off! Finally, we found the boxes! And off they go, each cupcake into a box..

410 boxes of cupcakes in the midst of packing

On the day of delivery, I finally got to meet the bride and the chance to affirm my first impressions of her. And indeed, she was all of what my first impressions were and more. Lucky is the guy who married her!

Though this order was fulfilling and gave the chief baker a glimpse of something which she'd never thought she could handle, she was dead beat by the time the cupcakes were delivered! Next came the blissful 7hrs of sleep for the overworked and grouchy chief baker.. *grinz*

Everyone who knows us say we look like sisters. Those who don't know us believe those who said we're sisters. Guess who is she?

Cupcakes were ordered for her new colleagues, particularly for the one who is waving farewell to the rest. When she brought these cupcakes to office and her boss' daughter saw them, she asked her how often can she bring them..such a cute lil' girl!

Chocolate overload!

A client ordered these for her friend, who's a chocolate lover. I did a taste test myself, since it's the first time I did a chocolate buttercream... and these were heaven-on-earth delicious! Cupcake Culture is proud to say that chocolate buttercream is here to stay on the menu!

Warning: Unless you're a chocolate lover, do not attempt to order these.

Birthdays are meant to be celebrated

How would you feel if a friend went all the way to make your birthday special?

These cupcakes were last minute orders from a girl to her friend. Even though she knew it was too late to place an order, she still tried.. and when I got her email order titled "Just trying my luck", my heart just went out to her, that she will still make an attempt to place an order just to make her friend's birthday so much more special. How many of such friends do we have?

Regular chocolatey chocolate

A tribute to mums..

To the woman who:
- watched us as we took our 1st baby steps
- wiped our tears when we fall down
- nurtured us from childhood to adulthood
- advised with love when we are lost and need direction
- gave us all the love she could and more

To mum, with love...
